  • Check it out, y'all
    (There've been times in my life)
    I'm tired and I wanna give up
    (I've been wondering why)
    Why is the world gettin' so crazy?
    (Still, somehow I believe)
    I've come too far to die now
    (I always survive)
    If you're a survivor, get up!
    Let's get it!

    Gonna cry now, go ahead and get it out of my system
    I know I hurt now, but soon I gotta get back to livin'
    Can't be here next year, givin' you these same tears
    I hope you enjoyed it, cause it's the last time you will take a piece of me

    I start right now, I don't know how I'm gonna get through it
    I know right now, I pray somehow cause I can't do it
    I can't keep livin' like this, there's gotta be more than this
    Jesus, I'm ready, I'm ready for what you have for me

    (Are you gonna wait for a sign?)
    Are you ready for your miracle
    God's people it's time to (stand up and fight)
    Let's get it, let's get it, this is it!
    Can't mess with my mind anymore, this is it!
    I'm smarter, see I've been here before, this is it!
    It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore, this is it!
    Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say this is it!

    I'm a child of the king baby, look at somebody and tell 'em, this is it!

    I look back now, I look at how you tried to break me
    To take my life, my peace of mind and drive me crazy
    My self esteem, my dreams, my destiny
    So, God allowed it, because He knew He had big plans for me (Hallelujah!)

    It's your grace, I know today it's how I made it (Thank You, Jesus)
    When I thought that it was over' (Lord, have mercy)

    (Are you gonna wait for a sign?)
    Are you ready for your miracle
    God's people it's time to (stand up and fight)
    Let's get it, let's get it, this is it!
    Can't mess with my mind anymore, this is it!
    I'm smarter, see I've been here before, this is it!
    It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore, this is it!
    Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say this is it!

    Everybody that's been holdin' you down, look at 'em and tell 'em, this is it!
    I feel my help coming on right now, y'all

    You think that maybe it's over'(You're life ain't over)
    Not unless you want it to be

    (Are you gonna wait for a sign?) you're miracle
    (Stand up and fight)

    This is it y'all, this is it y'all
    You've been waitin' and debating, here it is, y'all
    All your stuff from your past, shake it off y'all
    Though they said you wouldn't last, but who is y'all?
    Want your dreams back? Let's get it!
    Your peace of mind back? Let's get it!
    Want your family back? Let's get it!
    Are you ready? Let's get it! (this is it!)
    I speak against everything that comes to destroy the purpose in your life, this is it!
    Worrying about your finances, your future, when you can't even sleep at night, this is it!
    I speak against depression and fear, every attack from the enemy, this is it!
    This is your day, the Lord made it baby! God has set you free! 'This is it!

    Can't mess with my mind anymore, this is it!
    I'm smarter, see I've been here before, this is it!
    It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore, this is it!
    I wanna hear y'all sing this with your boy!
    Every body say, this is it!

    Can't mess with my mind anymore, this is it!
    I'm smarter, see I've been here before, this is it!
    It's a new day, I'm not afraid anymore, this is it!
    Yes, I believe, if you believe, help me say, this is it! Writer/s: KENNETH CLARK LOGGINS, Kirk Franklin, MICHAEL H. MCDONALD

  • Constance from Dallas, TxI Love when Kirk says Unlike the children of Israel who wandered in the wilderness, when we totally surrender to God, what took 40 years, God 'can' fix in 40 minutes That is so true. If we go to God unstead of trying to solve problems with our own understanding we would suffer do much less. It reminds me of the song Oh what needless pain we bear all because we do not carry every thing to God in prayer.
  • Sara from Silver Spring, MdKenny Loggins now takes this song and adds it into This is It. Of course the original is better.
