lyrics

Radio 4:12
by Gary Pinto and Michael Wimberly

Frequently I hear frequencies that keep messing with my brain
Soundtrack that plays in the background always sounds the same
You see the purpose of music is made to lift us to a higher plane
We must create

Don’t follow the way that it’s come you’ll already be too late
What ‘cha got, but then your spirit is yearning to escape
See nothing in this world can substitute what god has made
We must create We must create

Give me my radio
Be the ruler of your own domain be the planner of your own ascent
Give me my radio
It will relent

Give me my radio
Be the ruler of your own domain
Give me my radio

The people speaking the loudest are sometimes the most ignorant
We must be the voice that it says so in future we don’t lament
Be the ruler of your own domain - Be the planner of your own ascent
It will relent (spoken: it will relent)

When the covers are pulled and no one has nothing left to hide
Everybody will know the truth and the broken will come to light (but it ain’t right)
Take a limb from under the bush and we’ve got to see a light This is your time – This is your time...

Give me my radio
Give me my radio
Give me my radio (We got to see a light)
Give me my radio
Give me my radio (Take a limb from under the bush) Give me my radio
Give me my radio (We got to see a light)

(rap verse)
I want my radio back, you shouldn’t jacked it in the first place
And about the time it took me to lace the track we could have put all the nonsense back
So, let me ask you... is it a reason for feeding me all this emptiness, a mixture of apathy,
A quota of laziness, cause the radio I had before I could play for days and it used to always amaze...give back my radio

Give me my radio
Give me my radio
Give me my radio (I want my radio back you shouldn’t jacked it)
Give me my radio
Give me my radio (I want my radio back you shouldn’t jacked it)
Give me my radio
Give me my radio (Be the ruler of your own domain be the planner of your own ascent) (You will relent) Give me my radio (You will relent)
I want my radio back you shouldn’t jacked it
I want my radio back you shouldn’t jacked it
I want my radio back
