JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE

"Sanctified"

feat. Tobe Nwigwe

[Spoken Intro: Tobe Nwigwe]
I was acting like I didn't know who it was, but okay
Oh, I know, I know, I know, I know who's up there, y'all
The guy is right up there
That, that, that, that right there is the, is-is the mighty, mighty JT

[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
You know I'm an animal (Animal)
I belong in the wild, wild, wild
When I get out of control
Ain't no bringin' me down, down, down
Yeah, you know I go crazy
I go off the wall, no MJ, but I'm walkin' on moons, it's amazing, baby
I know you're a good one (Good one)
Closest thing to a saint
So I come alive every time we interchange
Yeah, don't condemn me
I get down on my knees and confess to your temple, you take me and serve me mercy

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
Somethin' about how we break all of the rules make a sinner feel so blessed
You take all of my wrongs, move right along, take me and fix my mess
Get me up when I'm low, hand on my soul like you see right inside
I come out a new man, no blood on my hands (Uh)

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
Sanctified
Rid me of my sins, then you forgive them
Make me a new man
And I'm sanctified
Sanctified
Rid me of my sins, take and forgive them
Can I get a witness?
Sanctified
Ooh, sanctified
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 2: Justin Timberlake]
Ooh, I gotta come to you (Only you)
When I wanna repent
Surrender my all, right at your throne, and do it again
Yeah, you crucify me
Burn me up until there's nothing left inside me
Right hand to your every word (Every word)
My religion, my love
Baptized in your ocean, willin' and open, never enough
Yeah, you never judge me
You just take your halo, put it right above me

[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
And there's somethin' about how we break all of the rules, make a sinner feel so blessed
You take all of my wrongs, move right along, take me and fix my mess
Get me up when I'm low, hand on my soul like you see right inside
I come out a new man, no blood on my hands

[Bridge: Justin Timberlake & Tobe Nwigwe]
I get down on my knees every night and I pray for ya (I get down on my knees, yeah)
Don't you see you're my savior? I'm made for ya (Ayy)
I get down on my knees every night and I pray for ya (I get down on my knees every night and I pray for you; hallelu, hallelu)
Don't you see you're my savior?

[Verse 3: Tobe Nwigwe]
Look, I swear it's only right that I
Hold the toast just for my protection
Need the Holy Ghost 'til the resurrection
But I still might beckon angels, my complexion
To swoop down your direction and make your connection to me
Yuh, just a bit stronger
I know it's wrong to sit back and conjure
A million ways for you to heal the monster
That has been postured inside my loins
Yuh, boing
That's what it do when I see you
I know you see through me and I ain't see through
But you never treat me like I am fecal matter
Wow, had to smile
I know I ain't spoke to you like this awhile
I know you cried me a river like the Nile
But hell, I got baptized in it and came out
So, so, so, so much better
Know I could never try to measure the weight of your glory
But sometimes, with you, it's like my head's in the pool, and my eyelids have opened in chlorine
Ahh, that hoe can burn, but in return
All I discern is to be different
One has to unlearn, and just be

[Outro:]
Okay
