Jesus Freak (The Savage Perspective Mix) Lyrics

(What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus Freak?
What will people do
When they find that's it's true?)
(oh oh)
(oh oh oh)
(oh oh)

(1)
Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force

And a grace that replaced all the me I've divorced
(Rap)
I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly
It wriggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause I had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
'Jesus Saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green

He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream
()
What will people think
When they hear that I'm a Jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
(oh oh)
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
(oh oh oh)
(ain't no disguising the truth, no I ain't hiding the truth)
(2)
Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my Maker

A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause I won't live and die for the power they seek
(Rap 2)
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room

With skins on his back and hair on his face

They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus freak
(repeat 2x)

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger

My best friend was born in a manger
People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
(repeat 2x)
What will people think
(What will people think)
What will people do
(What will people do)
I don't really care
(What else can I say)
There ain't no disguising the truth
(Jesus is the way)

dc Talk is made up of Toby McKeehan (tobyMac), Michael Tait, and Kevin Max.

The three met while they were young men at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. They formed the band dc Talk (a reference to Washington D.C., but later marketed as 'decent Christian talk' by their label) and, as of the year 2000, spent twelve solid years together, performing all over the world, recording 6 albums, and earning many awards, including 4 Grammy awards.

Their music, aimed at a younger audience, combined hip-hop, rap, and R&B sensibilities and filled a gap in 1980s Christian Music and gave them a unique niche. Their first three albums, DC Talk, Nu Thang, and Free at Last started from their rap/hip-hop roots but increasingly included melodic vocal rock influences. Their 1995 studio album, Jesus Freak, continued this musical evolution by eshewing almost all rap elements and adopting a harder modern rock/grunge sound on many songs, especially the title track. Their most recent studio album, Supernatural, draws on their previous efforts while moving towards mainstream pop stylings.

Their signature sound in all albums is their use of the three members' different vocal skills separately and together. They are often lauded for their lyrical sophistication, addressing many themes in Christian theology, faith, and practice.

After more than ten years together as a group, they are taking a break in recording together to pursue their own activities outside of the band, and launch solo careers in recording music. Michael Tait formed his own band, Tait, and has most recently served as the frontman for Newsboys. Toby McKeehan has released music under the name Tobymac, and has been the most sucessful of the three. Kevin Max has released two solo albums of his own. Read more on Last.fm.
