Lyrics
Intro: NK4
Yeah, yeah, woo
Hold up, Tahi made this
Chorus: Miles Minnick, NK4, & The GLO. Collective
Tired of the lies, got the fire in my eyes (Okay)
'Bout to leave a mark like a tire when it slide (Yeah, yeah)
Holy Spirit settin' everybody free (Oh light)
Now we lightin' up the city makin' everybody see like (Yee)
We set the city on fire (Fire)
We set the city on fire (Fire)
We set the city on fire (On Fire)
We set the city on fire
Verse 1: Miles Minnick
Blink for too long, time to hit that killswitch (Switch)
On stage servin' slaps like my name Will Smith (Will Smith)
Play my song at yo' church, they gon' be like, "Who's this?" (Who's this)
GLO crew, GLO clique, and we really don't miss (True)
When we hit 'em with our Cali 808's
Took 'em to Atlanta, but that ain't really our taste
What God is 'bout to do is bigger than our whole state (Our state)
But I feel like it's a sin if we ignore our home base
God told me that He's given us a land and now He's givin' us a plan (Ha)
It's our revival once again, just like Azusa in '06 (Ha)
We got California lit and now it spread out like the 'Vid
Tour the globe, was on the GLO, the globe's on open for the hits
Verse 2: Kid Viz
They don't like the way I'm comin' with that heat (Yeah)
Pull up on the block, sixty-six on my feet (Uh, woah)
Devil actin' silly, I'm not givin' him no peace (Nah)
Wake up the city, the light can't sleep (Yeah, yeah)
Put on my name, I've been readin' up on Psalms
I said the Lord hear my cry when I call
Cry of the state cause the glory to fall
Azusa, we causin' the shift like it's Paul
Azusa, Glochella bigger than Lollapalooza
Shakin' the state with the bass like Azusa
No Pok mon, but my God said, "I choose ya"
Now all the haters and the foes are like-
Chorus: Miles Minnick, NK4, & The GLO. Collective
Tired of the lies, got the fire in my eyes (Okay)
'Bout to leave a mark like a tire when it slide (Yeah, yeah)
Holy Spirit settin' everybody free (Oh light)
Now we lightin' up the city makin' everybody see like (Yee)
We set the city on fire (Fire)
We set the city on fire (Fire)
We set the city on fire (On Fire)
We set the city on fire
Verse 3: NK4
Yeah, with my hands I been prayin' for revival (Yeah, yeah)
World's gettin' dark, I been diggin' in my Bible
Y'all chase clout, we been runnin' our disciple (Uh, huh)
Gotta praise God like I'm out of survival
I'm really warrin' (Yeah)
I been readin' 'bout the snakes, you won't catch me snorin'
We been mindin' at the Bay, you can count on that, air time
Ride on top, I'ma give 'em all this best time, yeah
Chains, I don't got 'em, yeah (Yo)
Holy Spirit break chains when you over here (Bow)
How far to make chains with no feelin' it, sheesh
God be the judge, I'ma focus on me
Verse 4: CJ Emulous
Devil thought he was smokin' on that Jesus pack
Three days later, rose up to get that rich one back (Brrt)
Broke chains, now it's time to get your freedom back
But solely, I got loaned, better go get your season back
Spirit speakin' through me, I ain't think of that
Don't worry 'bout my speck, better log out
How you gon' check on me, but your spirit high?
Better turn that cheek around like some Travis Scotts
Thought we were backslidin' for the glow-up
But the streets get revived, it's Azusa
Hope this mic' take your ear like it's Holyfield
Really God got me tryna save the world like a planeteer
Chorus: Miles Minnick, NK4, & The GLO. Collective
Tired of the lies, got the fire in my eyes (Okay)
'Bout to leave a mark like a tire when it slide (Yeah, yeah)
Holy Spirit settin' everybody free (Oh light)
Now we lightin' up the city makin' everybody see like (Yee)
We set the city on fire (Fire)
We set the city on fire (Fire)
We set the city on fire (On Fire)
We set the city on fire
Outro: The GLO. Collective & NK4
We set the city on fire
We set the city on fire
We set the city on fire
We set the city on fire
We set the city up, we set the city on fire (Yeah, yeah)
We set the city up, we set the city on fire

The GLO. - Azusa (ft. Miles Minnick, KidViz, Nk4 & CJ Emulous)
Meaning & Inspiration
The song titled "Azusa" by The GLO., featuring Miles Minnick, KidViz, Nk4, and CJ Emulous, released on September 30, 2022, immediately sets a tone of intentionality, drawing its name from the historic Azusa Street Revival which began in Los Angeles in 1906, a pivotal moment characterized by an intense outpouring of the Holy Spirit, diverse participation, and a renewed emphasis on spiritual gifts and evangelism. By invoking this name, the song isn't just referencing history; it's articulating a profound spiritual hunger and a prayer for a similar movement of God's Spirit in the present day. The collective voices on the track seem to represent a unified cry, transcending individual style to declare a shared yearning for divine presence and power. The core message is a passionate plea for revival, for God to move in a way that transforms lives and communities, reminiscent of the powerful acts of the early church depicted in the book of Acts. This aligns with the biblical promise in Joel 2:28-29, later quoted by Peter in Acts 2:17-18, where God declares He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, enabling sons and daughters to prophesy, young men to see visions, and old men to dream dreams, extending even to servants. The song captures the spirit of seeking God with earnestness, a theme echoed throughout Scripture, such as in Psalm 42:1-2 where the psalmist yearns for God like a deer pants for streams of water. It speaks to a recognition that human effort alone is insufficient for genuine spiritual awakening, and that true transformation comes through the dynamic work of the Holy Spirit, the same power that raised Christ from the dead (Romans 8:11). Furthermore, the track's collaborative nature implicitly underscores the biblical call for unity among believers, a theme Jesus emphasized in His prayer in John 17:20-23, that His followers would be one so the world might believe. "Azusa" functions as both a historical reflection and a contemporary prophetic call, challenging those who hear it to move beyond complacency and join in the earnest expectation and prayer for a fresh move of God's Spirit, equipping them with the power promised in Acts 1:8 to be witnesses to the ends of the earth. It's a musical declaration that the same God who moved powerfully in the past is willing and able to do so again today for those who seek Him with all their heart.
