Take Control Lyrics by Smokey Joe & The Kid

Take Control

0

Yeah yeah

[Verse 1]
All you want is a piece of mind
In that happy place that we all need to find
Because you work all day and sleep all night
No time for yourself to feel alright
Counting the days like one, two, three, four, five
Tryna part from darkness to see more light
Got your manager harassing you to been on time
While looking in the mirror like this can't be your life (aaarghh)
On repeat like a really bad TV show we know they should do away with
But in reach is your destiny like a remote control so you can change it
Never feel that your future's wasted
When you deal with pursuing greatness
If your soul is a damsel in distress don't stress cos you can save it

[Chorus]
To ease the pain
For piece of mind
To reach that place
You seek to find
Read the signs
And redefine
On your way
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
That means you're taking control

[Verse 2]
Don't let anybody take it from you
Stay strong even when they wrong you
When you work to a goal, know the worth of your soul, if you don't then mate it's on you
Know your value and never forget
Stay sharp on your path to whatever is next
Get their respect when they measure you depth
From every breath in your chest, never settling for anything less
(Yesss)
Let the negative get in line so your precious time is never wasted
If it's meant to be destiny, fine then enter your prime and just embrace it
Never feel that your future's wasted
When you deal with pursuing greatness
If your soul is a damsel in distress don't stress cos you can save it

[Chorus]
To ease the pain
For piece of mind
To reach that place
You seek to find
Read the signs
And redefine
On your way
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
Don't let them take from your soul
That means you're taking control

[Bridge]
Ah yeah
Soul clap for me, everybody where you at?
From the front to the back
Don't slack let me see you soul clap for me
Ah yeah
Soul clap for me
Ah yeah
Soul clap for me, everybody where you at?
From the front to the back
Don't slack let me see you soul clap for me

[Pastor Offering's Sermon]
Ladies & gentlemen, we are gathered here this evening
On this fine evening
To pay homage to you know what
The soul mutha luvaz that's right
Ya'll better understand
And recognize and realize
That anywhere you go around this world
If you ain't got no soul in you
Then you ain't no gold in you
That's right, mutha luvaz
When you wake up in the morning, you better understand
The only thing you have is your soul
When you brush your teeth in the morning, that's right
Who does it for you?
Your soul that's right
I go by the name of Pastor Offerings
And I'd lie to tell ya'll mutha luvaz that umm
You need to find
Redefine that
To ease the pain that's right
You better say it loud
Say it loud and proud


[Outro]
Don't let them take from your soul
You need to take control
Don't let them take from your soul
You need to take control
Don't let them take from your soul
You need to take control
Don't let them take from your soul
You need to take control
