I’m on the road, dog/
Got my back pack, maps and my road dogs/
If you could see what we see/
You would want to go where we’re going just to be where we’ll be/
In the presence of more than a baby boy/
The Lord who can save you and save me, or/
Maybe if it’s still not clear/
Let wise men open your eyes and take you there

Verse 1
The sky was clear that night, right?/
Cold, crisp air, stars were mad bright bright/
Remember that y’all?/
But there was that one star that was shining brighter than them all/
I remember that star wasn’t in December/
That’s the wrong date/
But it did put an end to our long wait/
‘Cause we were getting restless while we waited/
For a special child with a mom highly favored/
No more singing the blues/
The sky signified the coming of the King of the Jews/
We’d studied the script, next step was to study the trip/
Packed up, ready to dip, ready to roll/
Wasn’t even sweatin’ the cold/
We were convinced of Hotness, ready the gold/
Hold up don’t forget the planks to anchor the tent/
And with that gold grab the myrrh and the frankincense

Hook

Verse 2
It’s been a minute but we’re still steppin’/
Still trekkin’/
Can’t wait to put our eyes on what our heart’s expectin’/
It’s on I can’t wait to find the palace/
Recline in the palace/
Sit back and drink wine from the chalice/
You know they from out of town, right?/
They probably down town in the Crown Plaza not in Crown Heights/
He probably got a long line waiting to see Him/
I bet you even King Herod’s waiting to see Him/
I should give him a call/
He’ll probably let get me in/
And if he hook it up we all get in /
Yo, I called Herod/
He don’t know where he at/
But he said if we find Him we should call him right back/
I don’t trust that dude/
I ain’t callin’ him back/
Chill wit’ all that/
You can see we’re on the right track/
What makes you say that?/
‘Cause the star’s right there/
Well if the star’s right there then we must be here

Hook

Verse 3
Fading in the distance/
The place where all of us faced a twist deeper than the sixth sense/
It wasn’t what I expected to see/
Someone as great as Him living lesser than me/
And truthfully we were blown away/
By a King with no bling, just a throne of hay/
Even shepherds had heard of Him/
Somehow they got word of Him/
Wise men, herdsmen, all of us worshipin’/
Anybody notice how the sheep and cows seem to peek and bow/
To the sleeping child?/
We went home a different way, not just geographically, but he impacted me/
‘Never forget the day/
We got to sit back and see God’s presence…a present gift wrapped/
And I hope you get that/
Because when you got Jesus you don’t need to know where the Gift’s at.
