Lyrics
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
Keep on swangin', keep on hustlin'
Keep on singing, keep on movin'
Keep it Houston
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
Keep on swangin', keep on pushin'
Keep on singing, keep on movin'
Keep it Houston
Keep on singing, keep on banging my songs
They keep on praying so long, ain't nothing changing
'Tween the black and the blues and the hues, we keep on swanging
Strange fruit fall close to the root, hear what I'm saying
Like they preaching to the same folks they singing with
Space City Choir got that fire, can they keep it lit?
One day this preacher asked me, "Savvy, where's the leadership?"
Said, "Pastor, if I tell you, I'ma need my ten percent"
It's the new speaker of the South, speaker speaking in tongues
Somebody put him on the horn with Minister Farrakhan
Somebody put him on the horn with Bishop the Don once
But speaking of the South, how they keep, keeping it going from
Wheeler Avenue on to Brentwood on
Brookhollow, St. Johns, Antioch, rockin' on
Fifth Ward, Missionary, Tabernacle, keep it going
Windsor Village, Miles Chapel, CME, keepin' on
Mount Zion, AME, Calvary, pimpin' on
Creflo Dollar, you follow?
So keep singing until the walls break out in a sweat
And the hue is that hot comb on the back of your neck
Sister Yvette, come on
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
Keep on swangin', keep on hustlin'
Keep on singing, keep on movin'
Keep it Houston
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
Keep on swangin', keep on pushin'
Keep on singing, keep on movin'
Keep it Houston
Rewrite when I'm right just to water me down
What's dark comes to light, I don't wear no fake crown
They peek into history and get what they need
Republish me like they the authority
This skin I'm in will always win
It's coated in phosphate, sugar and the nitrogen
React and snap back like my finest hour
Maybe I got all the power
Pour libation and respect the spiritual
Find me in your hymnal, bookmark and sing this again
We shall not be moved, it's like a tree rooted
Right next to the water, cool breeze, the way I used to
Slaughter the game 'cause you blew it
Flew it, from Almeda to Lockwood
We roller skate on the rings of Saturn
So nine ether zig-zag my cornrow patterns
Kinky Kemetic, yet hiero-alphabetic
Solar connected to nigga poetics
Keep on if you got it, get it?
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
Keep on swangin', keep on hustlin'
Keep on singing, keep on movin'
Keep it Houston
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
Keep on swangin', keep on pushin'
Keep on singing, keep on movin'
Keep it Houston
It's that twang in it
It's the way that we sang when we sang in it
It's that slow, loud and bang how we swangin' it
It's that funk in the trunk how we moved in it
It's the hue in it
It's the jazz and the soul and the blues of it
That lightning hop, riding dirty down, down them blocks
Full of whiskey shots at the rocking spots, looking killer cops
Pop, pop, pop goes the weasel in my nine
A black monk state of mind, Boss Hogg type of grind
Slim, we thuggin' like we Bo and Luke
No hazard, I can pose as Duke Ellington
My orchestra of pimps, players and hustlers
We're singing, swangin', banging
Grooving just to make you move it to it
We Rap-A-Lot to push you through it, through it
Right up the street but out of space so niggas never knew it
We keep it on and keep it Houston, Houston, welcome to it, let's go
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on singing
