Come on DC, DC
If you want it all back
Jump to your feet right now Let’s go
ABLAZE where you at? Let’s go, let’s go
Yuh, yuh, yuh Let’s go
Everybody say I want it all back
I want it all back
(Yo everything that you took from me I want it)
I want it all back
(I want my joy and my peace c’mon and say)
I want it all back
(Yo everything that you got that’s mine I want it)
I want it all back
(Woo) You may have thought you won that last round You may have laughed I almost fell down
Maybe you think (Woo) I give up easy
But it's not over I got more (you say ohh) in me You thought I stopped (Wassup)
You thought I sat down
But I am standing (you made me mad)
You made me mad now
(You got somethings) You got some things (I think you owe me) I think you owe me (DC waddup)
I've come to get back everything that you stole
(Everybody say) I want it all back
(Little bit louder please, let me hear you say)
I want it all back (Even my hopes and my dreams come on and say) I want it all back (Yo everything that you got that’s mine I want it)
I want it all back (Ladies say you hit me hard)
You hit me hard I should be knocked out
Things I've been through don't even wanna talk about You crossed the line (this time) you violated me
I want revenge (Yo and I want everything back from) A to Z (yea) The battles not mine
It’s the Lord's (Yo)
In the name of Jesus (whoa)
I'm taking it by force (now everybody say)
I want it all back (Everything that you took from me I want it) I want it all back (Y’all not loud enough let me hear you say)
I want it all back (Everything that you got that’s mine I want it) I want it all back (Turn up turn up turn up turn up)
(Woo I want it all back) I want it all back
(Whoa whoa I want it all back) I want it all back (Whoa whoa I want it all back) I want it all back
(For the kingdom suffers violence but the violent take it Take it by force let’s go woo)
(Hey I want it all back) I want it all back (Yea cmon fellas say if you only knew)
If you only knew what I was gonna be
After the storm you wouldn't have even bothered me If you only knew what I was gonna be
After the storm you wouldn't have even bothered me If you only knew what I was gonna be
After the storm you wouldn't have even bothered me
(Devil if you only knew) Hey (Knew What I was gonna be) Hey
(You wouldn't have, you wouldn’t have) Hey (You would not have bothered me) Hey (Devil if you only knew) Hey
(Knew What I was gonna be) Hey (You would've left me alone)
(Yeaa but now I’m) Stronger (And I got more) Power
(Uh huh and I’m a little bit) Wiser (Yea And I got more) Strength (Got the) anointing
(Got God’s) favor
(And we’re still) standing
(And we want everything you took from us Right here, right now)
I want it all back

Song Meaning
Tye Tribbett turns a live worship set into a courtroom of sorts, where the singer demands the return of everything stolen — joy, peace, hopes, dreams, even the years lost to hardship. The song opens with a call to the crowd in DC, then builds a defiant case: the enemy may have landed a blow, may have laughed while the singer almost fell, but the fight isn't finished. The line "the battle's not mine, it's the Lord's" reframes personal revenge as a spiritual claim, and the shout about taking it by force ties the demand to a kingdom that suffers violence. A quieter bridge imagines the devil's regret — if he had known what the singer would become after the storm, he wouldn't have bothered. That turn from grievance to testimony gives the song its arc: not just wanting back what was lost, but recognizing that the struggle produced strength, power, wisdom, anointing, and favor. The repeated phrase "I want it all back" works as both a declaration and a congregational chant, and the song ends still standing, still demanding restoration.
