Conversations With The Bishop Lyrics

[TJ:] It's Praise with TJ and in the building with me today is Marvin Sapp. Hey Marvin.
[Marvin Sapp:] Hey TJ, how you doing today?
[TJ:] I'm good thank you for joining us today. Happy New Year.
[Marvin Sapp:] Same to you, happy New Year to you as well.
[TJ:] And I understand you have a birthday coming up.
[Marvin Sapp:] Yes, I actually do have a birthday coming up. And I'm gon' be... [sigh] I'ma keep that to myself.
[TJ:] Oh.
[Marvin Sapp:] Yeah.
[TJ:] But you getting older.
[Marvin Sapp:] Yeah, I'm trying to. That's the goal: get older.
[TJ:] What you say, stronger, wiser...?
[Marvin Sapp:] And better.
[TJ:] So much better. So much better.
[Marvin Sapp:] So much better.
[TJ:] So much? so many things going on this year, and I know you have some great things that you're working on, some great projects that you're working on, but I have a? I have a question for you. I've always wanted to know this, because when I listen to your voice, I'm thinking, "Hm, I wonder what he would sound like if he ever sang a R&B song." Now, I know you a bishop and you a big-time gospel singer, but have you ever thought about singing R&B?
[Marvin Sapp:] You know what, I've never thought about singing R&B music, and let me tell you why. Because I was ten years old, it was a Sunday morning, and we were getting ready for church. And my mother was in the kitchen cooking breakfast, and she brought me in and sat me down?I was ten?and she said to me, "Marvin," she said, "you can either sing in the church or you can sing in the world, you can't do both." And I said that day that I wanted to sing gospel music. And from that day to this day, that's all I've ever done. I can literally count the number of times that I've had the opportunity to sing R&B music, because I really feel like that this is my assignment.
[TJ:] Now let me go back to your biopic real quick, 'cause in the lunch room, you were singing R&B in the lunch room at school, wasn't you?
[Marvin Sapp:] Yeah, I had somebody to sing to back then, yeah, yeah, I sang? I sang R&B back then, a little bit, yeah.
[TJ:] So speaking of that, with that in mind, I wonder, that was back in the day, but now we're here in a new year. I wonder what it would sound like, a R&B song, or a whole R&B project, by Marvin Sapp.
[Marvin Sapp:] Well, you know what? If I was an R&B singer, it would probably sound a little bit something like this:
