Lyrics

[00:00.82] They try to silence my voice, they try to hold me down.
[00:03.82] But I'm still screaming out, I'm still screaming out.
[00:07.09] You try to silence my voice, you try to hold me down.
[00:10.34] But I'm still screaming out, "You better pray."
[00:17.03] They call me fanatic 'cause I can stand on my own.
[00:22.91] I speak revivalist.
[00:24.65] I got this fire shut up in my bones.
[00:29.67] They call me fanatic.
[00:32.79] And all the church doors, they stay closed because I testify.
[00:37.79] They preach sermons but they still don't know.
[00:41.92]
[00:42.79] The fanatical forerunner.
[00:45.67] I prepare the way.
[00:49.67] I speak a message of truth.
[00:51.23] Take heed - I mean what I say.
[00:56.73] You better pray.
[01:09.52] So hide yourself in the darkness.
[01:12.52] Keep your prayers to yourselves, because any fool can pray just to get recognized by someone else.
[01:22.53] The secret life of fanatics.
[01:25.59] They can stand on their own because they recognize the church doors stay closed.
[01:34.34] They call me fanatic 'cause I can stand on my own.
[01:42.28] I speak revivalist.
[01:43.78] I got this fire shut up on my bones.
[01:50.28]
[02:00.91] We pray with our eyes open to see the victims of injustice.
[02:07.03] I'm not just one man - all heaven stand with me.
[02:10.22] I've got a message for the world: It's not just us.
[02:14.15] You better pray.
