Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane) / House Top Celebration [feat. Snoop Dogg & Jermaine Dupri] - Mariah Carey

I don't want to be in Any gang that you're in I refuse to take part In gatekeeping people's art Now, I'm surprised to report that as I enter my 40s I've returned to being an angry man I can see clearly now that the drugs wore off Some kinds of music just aren't part of the plan But through computer malfunctions and rare grudging concessions We occasionally broke into the house Just because trouble like us comes a-calling Doesn't mean there was a place to sit down No thank you for the music That seamlessly fits into the plan The sound of a culture that gavе up on pretending It was anything more than a scam, and I don't want to bе in Any gang that you're in I refuse to take part In gatekeeping people's art Now I wouldn't give a fuck about the style cartel If it wasn't for their wider pretensions To represent some kind of authoritative voice On value in the cultural dimension But my rejection of the systematic fleecing of the underground Can be more easily put Bees shouldn't waste their time telling flies That honey tastes better than shit No thank you for the music That seamlessly fits into the plan The sound of a culture that gavе up on pretending It was anything more than a scam No thank you for the music That effortlessly fits the aesthetic The sound of a culture that's resigned to its art Being little more than an anaesthetic And I didn't give a shit about where I could sit In the cafeteria at my school And now that I'm grown I'm not about to condone Paying attention to what's supposed to be cool And the effort that you poured into trying to look bored of yourself Just makes you look like a fool As for all the hangers on the desperate and badly drawn All the fair-weather forgettables, the cowardly contemptibles No thank you, no thank you, no thank you, no thank you No thank you, no thank you, no thank you Count me out of the game, my teeth are too long Here's hoping that the kids have fangs To chew their way through this little Gordian knot And leave the gatekeepers to go hang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I don't want to be in your gang I never did I never did I don't want to be in Any gang that you're in I refuse to take part In gatekeeping people's art

I'm getting sick and I'm tired of living life this way Lord, without You here with me all I seem to do is make mistakes I'm asking, is there a limit to Your mercy? 'Cause I wanna know I wanna go back to the days where for You I was thirsty Okay now, Lord I apologise Again I crucified You I tried to fight it but it's clear I need You to survive So many times I tried, with my own devices But You told me everything I need You have provided Blind to Your love, was deaf to Your call I come before Your throne of grace and I surrender all 'Cause when I fall, You're there to catch me So if they ask me I'll say that Your grace is all need, Oh Lord You see the best in me It's why I call You Yahweh (Yahweh, Yahweh) It's why I call You Yahweh (Yahweh, Yahweh) When I'm walking through the valley let me feel You next to me And that's my prayer, ooh And that's my prayer You know my thoughts (You know my thoughts) You know my heart (You know my heart) You know my prayer Lord (You know my prayer Lord) You know my prayer Lord (You know my prayer Lord) You know my thoughts (You know my thoughts) You know my heart (You know my heart) You know my prayer Lord (You know my prayer Lord) You know my prayer Lord And so I pray Let Your spirit fill me Everyday I'm breathing Let Your mercy shield me Shield me from all evil 'Cause it was You who found me So in You just ground me Build a tower around me Goodness and favour round me Begging never allow me Never move on without me If You move on without me Waters of death will drown me Sometimes it gets so rowdy My sunny days get cloudy But with You I overcome And I'll say that Your grace is all need, Oh Lord You see the best in me It's why I call You Yahweh (Yahweh, Yahweh) It's why I call You Yahweh (Yahweh, Yahweh) When I'm walking through the valley let me feel You next to me And that's my prayer (my prayer, my prayer) And that's my prayer (my prayer, my prayer) Ohh I'll say that Your grace is all I need, Oh Lord You see the best in me It's why I call You Yahweh (Yahweh, Yahweh) It's why I call You Yahweh (Yahweh, Yahweh) When I'm walking through the valley let me feel You next to me And that's my prayer (my prayer, my prayer) And that's my prayer (my prayer, my prayer) And that's my prayer oh Lord(my prayer, my prayer) And that's my prayer (my prayer, my prayer) You know my thoughts (You know my thoughts) You know my heart (You know my heart) You know my prayer Lord (You know my prayer Lord) You know my prayer Lord (You know my prayer Lord) You know my thoughts (You know my thoughts) You know my heart (You know my heart) You know my prayer Lord (You know my prayer Lord) You know my prayer Lord Ohh yeah yeah yeah
