The Cross Movement - Happy Birthday To Who? lyrics

Today's the day the Lord has made for us to share in a special way So everybody join and sing "Happy Birthday!" Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy Birthday, to who? To who? To who? Okay, so I get invited to this Birthday fling But it's crazy cause I don't normally do the "birthday" thing You know, I'd rather chill at the crib Lay up inside with my remote, barbecue Herrs and my Xbox Live But the "rah rah" made me say this' gonna be big It's like the whole wide world gonna be at this shin dig I mean marketers, retail specialists, economists But the invite said the Birthday boy was anonymous- How crazy is that? And I heard by attending companies Could go from being in the red to the black Who ever this dude is he's profound You talk about balloons and streamers, yo they lit up the whole downtown So I'm like "If I go how am I gonna dress, Hip-Hop or chic?" I heard of people actually getting' off of work for a week Nah, I ain't missing this, it's too big Let me go dish out some punches and celebrate with whoever's birthday this is Today's the day the Lord has made for us to share in a special way So everybody join and sing "Happy Birthday!" Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy Birthday, to who? To who? To who? Hey yo so I got to the spot, Where all the hoop-lah be And yo I just realized, man I ain't RSVP I looked left and it was Ms. R-E-S-P-E-C-T This joint was jumpin' like an after hour speak easy I start walking around slow, you know, you gotta walk slow Cause pimpin' is in style now and I'm a Gigolo Man, it's like this party should've been in heaven Cause it was Good Times like James and Florida Evans I mean, people lightin' candles, blowing out cake People makin' wishes to be good for goodness sake Then they started taking all these gifts from under this tree And giving them all out, and yo the joints was free I was like "this is crazy B", cause in mind was money It's like somebody else's party and the dough's for me Well the Birthday Boy missin' out in my eyes He's probably playin' around Gonna walk up in here on us and be like "Surprise!" Today's the day the Lord has made for us to share in a special way So everybody join and sing "Happy Birthday!" Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy Birthday, to who? To who? To who? Hey, trust me this is nice, but it's weird This dude must be suffering from some kind of fear Is he afraid to wade in emotional, societal waters? What? He got a multiple, social anxiety disorder? Just then I saw a guy like Little Jack Horner Just sittin' in the back, way over in the corner And I was like "nah this dude ain't gonna ruin this fun" Let me walk over here and give this wallflower some sun I said, "Yo dun, you letting us down like the horse Smarty" He said, "Yo my bad, is this your party?" I said, "Nah, but you chippin' up my joy" HE said, "For real, well I'M the BIRTHDAY BOY I'M THE BIRTHDAY MAN, slash, THE BIRTHDAY GOD Now you can call me JESUS, or you can call ME LORD" I was floored; I said, " Forgive us, we gave out all the gifts" HE said, "I forgive you, its cool - for real, don't even trip I ain't worried about no gifts And ain't nothing wrong with Christmas I ain't even really mad at the real St. Nicolas He said, "I'm more concerned about those that recognize my worth And chose today to signify the significance of my birth So I'm chillin, can't nothing dim MY shine 'Cause from now to eternity, I'MA still get MINE" I was like, man it's been a bugged out day! And I just stood there, ain't even know what to say, but Today's the day the Lord has made for us to share in a special way So everybody join and sing "Happy Birthday!" Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy birthday! It's your birthday! Happy Birthday, to who? To who? To who?
