[Intro: Michael Tait, TobyMac & The True MC]
(Oldie but a goodie)
Mm-mm

Hoo ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh

Hoo ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh
(One, two, three, funky)
True MC, True MC
Everybody listens to the True MC
True MC, no slack on the track
Here to tell the people that love's what we lack
In this family, we gotta love like Christ
So precise in your life, so take this advice
Brother to brother, we need to learn to love each other
So lean on me when you're in trouble
I cast my cares on Christ 'cause He cares for me
So when you need a shoulder to cry on, just lean
Props to my man Speedy (What?)
(One, two, three)
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend), I'll help you carry on (Lean on me)
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
[Verse 1: Michael Tait & TobyMac]
Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrows (Yeah, we do now)
But, if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Lean on me (Sing it to me, sing it to me) when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend), I'll help you carry on (Lean on me)
For it won't be long (It won't be long)
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
[Verse 2: Kevin Max]
Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs, yeah
And if you won't, a let them-let them-let them show
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Lean on me (Sing it to me, sing it to me) when you're not strong (Sing it to me, sing it to me)
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend), I'll help you carry on (Lean on me)
For it won't be long (It won't be long)
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
[Bridge: Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
You just call on your brother when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have some problems that you'd understand, yeah yeah (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Problems, have some, problems, have some, yeah, you
We all need somebody to lean on
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Lean on me (Hey!) when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend (I'll be your friend), I'll help you carry on, oh (Lean on me)
For it won't be long (It won't be long)
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
