Justin Timberlake - Sanctified Lyrics

I was acting like we didn't know who it was, but okay
I know, I know, I know who's up there, y'all
The guy is right up there y'all
That, that, that, that right there is the mighty, mighty JT

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 walking on moons
It's amazing, baby
I know you a good one (good one)
Closest thing to a saint
So I come alive
Every time we interchange
Yeah, don't condemn me
I'll get down on my knees and confess to your temple
You take me and serve me mercy

Something 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

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, mm, yeah

Ooh, I gotta come to you (come to 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
Willing and open, never enough
Yeah, you never judge me
You just take your halo
Put it right above me

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

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, mm, yeah

I get down on my knees every night and I pray for you
(Pray down on my knees, yeah)
Don't you see you're my savior? I'm made for you (oh)
I get down on my knees every night and I pray for you
(I get down on my knees every night and I pray for you)
Hallelu', hallelu'
Don't you see you're my savior?

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 yo' 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
Ah, that ho can burn
But in return
All I discern is to be different
One has to unlearn
And just be

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?
Huh, sanctified
Ooh, sanctified, mm, yeah
Huh
Ooh, sanctified, mm, yeah
Okay
