Its Just God

Alt-funk infused with raw soul grit, modern low-end weight, and deep spiritual power, Anchored by a beastly, aggressive drummer driving high-velocity double bass bursts, blazing fills, crisp ghost notes, and relentless pocket energy, Sub-bass rumbles beneath a greasy electric bassline, Searing lead tuba trades lightning riffs with distorted funk guitar, Gritty, raspy male lead vocals hit with humor and raw passion, backed by a soaring, room-shaking Black women’s gospel choir delivering thick low altos, rhythmic shouts, and explosive harmonies on the hook

[Intro]
[Low funky tuba riff, tight 7/4 drums, big bass, ringing 90s rock guitar]
[Women's gospel choir hums softly in background]

[Verse 1]
[Rhythmic 7/4 drums, ride bell accents, driving bassline]
He’s always got some new thing going
Half the time nobody knows what he is thinking,
He starts with, “Hey, I’ve got this idea…”
Next thing you know, somehow it’s real

Tell him no, he’ll probably try it
Tell him why, he’ll work around it
He’s taken more than a few hard hits
Still gets up and gets back to it

(Choir softly)
Gets back up…

[Pre-Chorus]
[Instrumental Build-up]
[Descending concert tom roll, china cymbal chokes, guitars swelling]
People ask him all the time,
“Man, how do you keep doing this?”
He laughs and says,
“I wish I could take the credit…”

(Choir)
Tell ’em…

[Chorus]
[Huge Energy, 7/4 groove, full choir]
LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Just God!

LEAD:
That’s the best I got
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Yes, it is!

LEAD:
’Cause I know I’m not
That smart, that strong,
That good at beating the odds
You wanna know how I got this far?

ALL:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Just God! Just God!

LEAD:
Yeah, that’s pretty much all.

[Verse 2]
[Medium Groove, heavy bass and punchy kick drum]
[90s rock guitar lead fills, splash cymbal accents]
He’s built some things from next to nothing
Got a whole lot of people talking
Turned an idea into a crowd
Then turned around and built something else

He likes the stuff they say won’t work
That might be his favorite part
Give him a problem nobody wants
He’ll mess with it till something starts

He’s made some friends along the way
Made some mistakes—yeah, plenty of those

CHOIR:
Lord knows!

But every time life changes the map
He somehow finds another road

CHOIR:
Another road…

[Pre-Chorus]
[Dynamic Shift, rapid octoban drum fill, full stop]
People ask him,
“What’s the trick?
Who taught you how to do all this?”

He says,
“Buddy, if I knew that…”

[Full Band Stop]

LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
THAT’S RIGHT!

[Chorus]
[Full Band Explosive]
LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Just God!

That’s the best I got
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Yes, it is!

’Cause I know I’m not
That smart, that strong,
That good at beating the odds

CHOIR:
But He is!

You wanna know how I got this far?

ALL:
IT’S JUST GOD!

[Verse 3]
[Dynamic Shift, bass and 7/4 drums only, tuba accent notes]
He’s had years that weren’t much fun
Had a few things come undone
Had some plans go straight off the rails
Had some days he flat-out failed

Had to learn a different way
More than once along the way
And every time he thought,
“Well… I guess that’s probably that…”

CHOIR:
Not yet…

Something showed up
Someone called
A door cracked open
After all

And there he went again.

[Rapid octoban drum fill]

Of course he did.

CHOIR:
Of course he did!

[Chorus]
[Maximum Energy]
LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Just God!

When it makes no sense

CHOIR:
Still God!

When there ain’t much left

CHOIR:
Still God!

When the door swings open
Right when you thought it was locked

You wanna know what happened there?

ALL:
IT’S JUST GOD!

LEAD:
Don’t overthink it, y’all.

CHOIR:
Don’t overthink it!

[Bridge]
[Gospel Breakdown, guitars drop]
[Heavy bass, pitch-descending concert toms, handclaps, solo tuba riff]
Call it luck if you want to

CHOIR:
Call it luck…

Call it being in the right place
Call him hardheaded

CHOIR:
Mmm-hmm!

That one’s probably fair.

Call it timing
Call it grit
Call it refusing to quit
There’s probably some of that in there.

[Music drops low]

But when you’ve been around long enough
You start knowing what you know.

Some things…
You just didn’t do alone.

CHOIR:
You were never alone.

So when somebody says,
“Man… how in the world did you pull that off?”

[Solo tuba plays two notes]

CHOIR WOMAN:
Tell ’em.

LEAD:
Simple.

LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD.

CHOIR:
JUST GOD.

[Drums explode back in with china cymbal crash]

[Guitar & Drum Solo]
[Progressive rock guitar solo over odd-meter drums, octoban fills, and bass]
[Tuba countermelody]
CHOIR:
Just God!
Just God!
Ohhh, just God!

[Final Chorus]
[Full Band & Full Choir Maximum Power]
LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
JUST GOD!

That’s the best I got

LEAD:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
YES, IT IS!

’Cause I know I’m not
That smart, that strong,
That good at beating the odds

CHOIR:
But God is able!

You wanna know how I got this far?

ALL:
IT’S JUST GOD!

LEAD:
When the crazy idea works

CHOIR:
JUST GOD!

When the worst gets turned around

CHOIR:
JUST GOD!

When the door nobody could open
Suddenly swings wide—

CHOIR:
JUST GOD!

When somebody says,
“How’d you build all this from nothing?”

Man—

ALL:
IT’S JUST GOD!

CHOIR:
Just God!
Just God!
Just God!

LEAD:
Don’t make it complicated—

ALL:
IT’S JUST GOD!

[Outro]
[Solo tuba riff, soft gospel choir fade]
Another idea…

CHOIR:
Mmm-hmm…

Yeah, here we go
Another door…
Nobody knows
Another “you can’t”

CHOIR:
Watch Him…

Another long shot
And if somehow
The whole thing works out—

[Band stops]

You already know.

[Solo tuba answers]

LEAD:
It’s just God.
