"Let 'Em Know" is the first single from E-Sential's upcoming album "Thru Thick N' Thin". A West Coast dance track at it's core, giving you a chance to worship to funky synths and a G-Funk bounce. James Julius joins E-sential once again to deliver a fun song, yet one with a true message that points to The Savior.
lyrics
(Verse 1 - E-Sential)
Bounce and bobbin' to the West Coast Music,
Reppin' Christ to the fullest while we do this,
Two-steppin' for The Lord,
He's the coolest,
Get ya dance on,
Everybody get to movin',
Groovin' to the beat,
Now I'm feelin' good,
Filled up with The Holy Spirit,
Preachin' in ya hood,
Spit it to the slow,
So it's all understood,
2nd Samuel 6:12,
David did it like he should,
You feel me when I'm spittin' truth on the beat right?
I live in Portland,
But reside up from Seaside,
It ain't about me though,
You better best realize,
I'm paintin' on a picture,
Pointin' straight to the most high,
And that's some real talk,
Ya, I used to Crip Walk,
Now I call it Christ Walk,
And I just can't stop,
Get crunk, get hyphy, do a pop-lock,
Jumpin' so high in the air you tear the roof off!
(Chorus - E-Sential)
Everybody get wild on the dance floor,
Praise God with ya gift,
Go and let 'em know,
This ain't some show,
It's the real deal,
Let 'em know how ya feel,
And Go, go, go,
(x2)
(Verse 2 - James Julius)
Step up to the scene,
Fresh so clean,
Everybody on the floor,
Get crunk for The King,
Jump with the team,
No blunt full of green,
Praise like Psalm 33,
Yup, yadadimean?
See I'm covered in His blood,
Ya I'm dipped and drizzled,
Might think I'm crazy when I cut up a little,
Sin had me down,
It had your boy in a pickle,
But everything was made right from the man in the middle,
Yup, now we get live,
Psalm 95,
Everybody do it,
Get your hands up high,
Yah, they think we stupid doo-doo dumb,
But we'll see who's really dumb,
When my Savior's sure to come.
(Chorus)
(Verse 3 - E-Sential)
I used to get hyphy,
I was feelin' myself,
Man, before I got saved,
I was killin' myself,
Christ changed everything,
And renewed my health,
It's a blessing to be livin',
Through The Lord I'm stealth,
I was up in the concerts,
Mind blow, Thizzed out,
Blind at the time,
Always down for the fast route,
Dancin' gettin' crazy,
My life was soo shady,
Didn't even know how The Lord could save me,
But now I'm changed,
Ain't the same,
And I claim that,
If you're offering me drugs,
Better get back,
I don't dance in the clubs with the six-pack,
Stuck in the riff-raff,
Livin' it for the cash stack,
Get stupid, get dumb, get hyphy,
No, get smart with your heart,
Live for Christ, G,
There's a better way,
But it's pretty pricey,
And He paid it with His life,
So we'd be free.
