The Witness Lyrics by Al-One & OnlyOne

The One And Only

2006

[Verse 1]
(Quoted lyrics by: OnlyOne)
Lazy Sunday afternoon, posted up in my drawers
Watchin' some golf, then heard a knock at the door
My first thought's to ignore, but he kept knocking some more
So I put on my shorts, go see who stood at my porch
"Hello, my name is Robert, for only zero dollars
I'd like to talk to you about our Heavenly Father
For the next hour
Prepare your body to be taken over by God's power
Here, have this watch [...]"
He had a short-sleeved dress shirt with a clip on tie
I told him, listen guy, this isn't the time
'Cause right now Jack Nickalus is chippin' for five
Under, and Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh are tied
And Daly just drained one to remain one under the leader
"I was a preacher, then done my research
You should become a believer
Matter of fact, what are you doin' this Easter?
Here's the address to the church
Come Sunday you should be there"
I work Sundays, "Monday"?
No that doesn't work either
My favorite program's on you know, Monday Night Fever
"How bout Tuesday?"
I'm shoppin' for a brand new receiver
"Maybe...?"
And Wednesday my wife's cookin' ham stew with... beaver
"I'm eager to save you
How bout Thursday or Friday?"
Nah, I need those days to update my profile on Myspace
"Well, why make excuses
I ain't tryin' to sell you nothin'?"
I gotta go
"But, before you do
I gotta tell you somethin'"
[Chorus]
No reason to be afraid
We comin' to Judgement Day (x2)
Praise Jesus!
[Verse 2]
(Quoted lyrics by: Al-One)
Lazy Sunday afternoon, walkin' downtown
Started my day with a latte
And then hopped on the 8
The bus made a stop in between Market and Clay
That's when a man came up to me
And then he started to say
"You ever heard of the Mormon religion?"
I said, Nah, but I've heard of a born-again Christian
"Well this is kinda like those
Except more futuristic
You should visit our church
It's down on Fourth and Division"
Well I lost my buspass
And can't afford no more tickets
"I got these quarters."
Ah, I just remembered
I got an appointment at the optometrist
To fix the quarks in my vision
Plus I got a test to study for
"What's the Course?" Physics
"Swell. I'll pray for your studies"
Can't you tell
I'm just tryin' to spend a day with my buddies
"So you goin' for your Bachelor's Degree?"
Quit hasslin' me
"The lord's love, you can have it like me
Here take this bible, you can have it for free
I'll show you some fun facts
And cool chapters to read"
Naturally, I'd like to see Heaven's Gate
But not at the expense to your collection plate
So, sounds sick dude, but next stop we get to
That's where I'm gettin' off, "Cool, I'm gettin' off with you"
That's where I draw the line
Like no thanks homie
I turned to leave, but he grabbed my arm
And then he told me
[Chorus]
No reason to be afraid
We comin' to Judgement Day (x2)
Hallelujah!
[Verse 3: OnlyOne & Al-One]
Everyday we see these people, and you probaly see 'em too
So the next time you see 'em, now you'll know just what to do
They gonna ask you some questions
You don't wanna come up short man
So always be prepared with excuses beforehand
Be warned and, when you see one of these fellas
Don't hesitate to tell 'em
That you recently developed a relationship with Jesus
'Cause that's what they wanna hear
And, I do
But I don't want you all up in my ear
Some people Episcopalian
Some people worship aliens
Some are Catholic
Lutheran or Baptist
Well that's just fine
Whatever your religion
I've come to the decision
That it comes down to opinions
So who are you to say the way we livin' is wrong
Can I get a witness, we should be gettin' along
But we like to point out differences 'cause different is wrong
Don't you get it, peep the message that we hid in this song
So you won't go to hell, and you won't be damned
You don't have to sell your soul, or fight for Holy Land
You can hide behind the real issue 'cause your homies can't
Admit their scared to talk about what Al and Only can
[Chorus]
No reason to be afraid
We comin' to Judgement Day (x2)
