about

Carl Alleyne, a wonderful singer and artist in his own right did this early rap recording for us when we all helped to shepherd the preteens in our church! "The Force" was strong as the Star Wars movies smashed the box offices and this song was the theme song for the 2000 camp called The Force!

The story is about a couple of kids facing temptation and fighting back with THE FORCE!

lyrics

Words and Music by Ralph and Julie Kinscheck c. 2002

The Force

(Verse Rap 1) I was chillin’ with my boys at the crib
Wasn’t wantin’ any trouble-
I was suckin’ down a double of Chocolate milk-
thick and rich
There must be a hitch ‘cause I feel so fine!

(Interlude) What’s most important? What’s most important in life?

(Verse Rap 2) When along came a fella with a basketball
Thought he was my friend, things change Y’all!
Said he made the team- and I was out
My fist was ballin’ in my sleeve-
gonna punch his lights out!

(Chorus) Give me the strength and give me the might
Give me the power to do what’s right
Got to get the force into my life!
Give me the dream and give me the sight
Give me the faith to fight the fight
Got to get the force into my life!

(Verse Rap 3) So I held it together with the help of my friends
I was dreamin’ ‘bout an angel-
I took a deep breath in then
There she was- giggle in her talk
Started thinkin’ ‘bout things- Man! I just gotta stop!

(Interlude) What’s most important? What’s most important in life?

(Verse Rap 4) Shorty was just a little older-
didn’t know her from church
Gonna get a little closer-
tell me what could that hurt?
Then there I was- smokes in hand-
Frontin’ and feelin’ like I was the man!

(Chorus) Give me the strength and give me the might...

(Bridge) Don’t be thinkin’ just ‘cause you’re a girl you’re off the hook! Listen up, Y’all!
The magazine’s are tellin’ us we gotta look SO!
Your hair- Uh, Huh! Your make up – GO!
We wanna find love in all the wrong places
Playin’ with the boys- put the teachers through their paces
Things we do ‘cause we’re INSECURE-
Mean like a cat to the girl next door
Reach for the force, Girls- WE NEED HELP!
Come out fightin’ to the sound of the bell!

(Chorus) Give me the strength and give me the might...
