TobyMac - Life On It Lyrics

Everybody needs somebody
Don't try and fake the folly
Anytime it cuts we all bleed
Everybody got the same needs
I'm standing on the hill I'd die on
So let me go and get my fight on
Down to my final heartbeat
Nobody gonna take what I believe

I never thought for a second when I asked You to save me
That I'd ever be steppin' into the waves that would take me
To the valleys we've crawled or the peaks that we've run
From the blessings poured out, to me losin' my son
You're my way and my truth, I'm a disciple of You
Through the highs and the lows, my heart will always stay true
They could put me in chains, they could lock me away
They would slay me in vain, I will always remain

I'll put my life on it (I'll put my life on it, I'll put my life on it)
Willing to die for it (willing to die for it)
No matter what they say, if I ever go MIA
They took my life for it (they took my life for it)
I'll put my life on it (I'll put my life on it)
I'll put my life on it

I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for
I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for

I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for
I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for
(You, You)

Everybody needs somebody
Don't try to fake the folly
Anytime it cuts we all bleed
Everybody got the same needs
I'm standing on the hill I'd die on
So let me go and get my fight on
Down to my final heartbeat
Nobody gonna take what I believe (yeah)

I'm tryna make my life about His business
God is in control I'm just a witness
Yeah that might just put me on a hit list
Now I'm the one outside that's lookin' different
So why you wanna change my world view? (Why, why)
I ain't sittin' high and judging you (oh)
Ain't everybody sticking to their truth? (Okay)
I'll stick to mine like I've been freaking glued (hey)

I'll put my life on it (I'll put my life on it, I'll put my life on it)
Willing to die for it (willing to die for it)
No matter what they say, if I ever go MIA
They took my life for it (they took my life for it)
I'll put my life on it
I'll put my life on it (I'll put my life on it)
I'll put my life on it

I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for
I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for

I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for
I'd rather live for somethin' than to die for nothin'
I'mma live for somethin', I'mma live for
(You, You, You)

My Lord, I'm gonna live for You
