Love and Mercy (2007)
Deborah D. Johnson

Hook:
Make some noise, make some noise
They know I’m coming ‘cause the stuff is bumpin
Make some noise (yea), make some noise
They hear me coming ‘cause the stuff is bumpin

Ooooh oh, the war ain’t over –the war ain’t over
Ooooh oh, the war ain’t over –then fight-the-good-fight

1st Verse:
Many battles are fought but the war ain’t over
I’m the O.G. Granny in a World of Warcraft
Going into battle is suicidal - Sure I was scared

I --was - Kicked to the bottom but I’m creeping up (hey eh)
To the bank to withdraw my stuff (oow)
The dude erased my tracks (What!)
I thought the brother had my back – ha ha
But the war ain’t over

I was homeless and the road was rough - don’t ya know
I’m tired of that stuff - (Make some noise)
Hungry; and you didn’t feed me
In jail and you wouldn’t come see me

Lead me to the water but you won’t let me drink
What in the world is a girl ‘pose to think
I tried to fly and you clipped my wings
I’m working hard to redeem my dreams (Make some noise)

I’m the baby boomer - spread the rumor
I’m in your town cause I’m the groomer
Lolla-gag tic-tackin and shuckin
Boogaloo Robottin and Struttin
Can’t nobody tell me it ain’t nothing
I work my bones just to prove it’s something
It’s hard to be a stranger in a strange land
But I heard about a place they call the promise land

Chorus:
Youuu, youuu –and meeeee (yes we can)
We’re going to the ocean of love and mercy 2x
Make some noise, make some noise
They know I’m on it ‘cause the stuff is bumpin’
Make some noise, (yea) make some noise
They hear me coming ‘cause the stuff is bumpin

2nd Verse:
I fell from A, B to Z
“Z” is the one that cared for me
Held my hand when I couldn’t see
You know Z is the one to put me back on beat
Gimme new shiny armor tailored to my style

Now - I -- Walk the walk as I talk the talk
And I’m creeping to the devil’s camp to take
back what he took from me
Hello my brother of another mother
why be a dog when you can be an eagle
Seems to me there’s a problem with ego
leading to legal. You never heard of Jonathan Seagull

Let my people go - so
(We could build healthy wealthy families)

Chorus:
Youuu, youuu and meeeee (yes we can)
We going to the ocean -of love and mercy

2nd Hook
Dun-ta dun dun ta-dunt ta-dunt 4x

Audience screaming – now you beaming
Ut-oh, wake up, you’re only dreaming
Five in the morn in your pajamas
Gotta get ready to pose for the cameras
Compose! Did I say pose; well suppose
You snap your head back and tip your hat
You tough, go strut your stuff
(bam bam bam)

Come out the box and meet with Jamie Fox
Going thru the rock we’ll pick up Chris
Know we gotta have a laugh or two – ha ha haaa

I’m going to Will to get karate Jada
You know that girl’ll kick-drop the hater
You know Madea got my back
And we ready for Oprah ‘cause this the story of love and glory

(Make some noise) 2x
They know I’m on it ‘cause the stuff is bumpin’
(Make some noise ‘yea’ make some noise)
They hear me coming ‘cause the stuff is bumpin’

Johanas and Ezra,
Peach, Tone, Sherr,
Cory, Michael, Tevin
Isaiah, Terrique, ShaSha

We take it to the ocean of love and mercy 2x

2nd Hook
Dun-ta dun dun ta-dunt ta-dunt 4x
Lolla-gag tic-tackin and shuckin
Boogaloo, Robottin and struttin
Can’t noboby tell me it ain’t nothin
I work my bones just to prove it’s somethin 2x

It’s hard to be a stranger in a strange land but I
Heard about a place they call the promised land
Dun-ta dun dun ta-dunt ta-dunt 4x
