Let's put [Gm] those hands in the air.
Come on.
A boy is born in a hot town Mississippi
[G] Surrounded [Gm] by four walls that [Em] get so [G] pretty
His parents [Gm] give him love and affection
[G] To keep him [Gm] strong.
Come on.
Moving in the right [A] direction
[C] Giving just enough, [D] just enough
[G] For the city
[Gm]
[G] His father [Gm] goes to work for 14 hours
[G] And you can bet [Gm] he barely [C] makes a dollar
[G] His mother [Gm] goes to scrub the floor [D] for many
[G] And you best believe [Gm] it, she hardly gets a [A] penny
Living [C] just [D] enough, just enough
For [G] the city
[Gm]
[Bm] [G] [Em]
[D#] [C#] [A#m] [B]
[A#] [G]

[N] Oh
[N]
my god.
Oh!
You are
Soak it up.
Soak it up.
James!
James!
You are serious business up there.
Serious business!
What was that you were doing over there?
You doing the back step over there?
Yeah!
It's just
It's just an incredible thing to watch.
Honestly.
You just
You leave me speechless.
That's not easy to do.
Wow.
Listen, I mean honestly for me
when it started it was a little bit rough
for me because you didn't quite find it.
No, no, no. No, listen.
Listen.
Wait, let me finish.
[D] Hang on, let me finish.
It started a little rough for me.
When you started moving over there and you finally hit your pocket
and you hit your stride, it was unbelievable.
It's something about those high notes
when you start hitting them.
I think that's when you kind of build your confidence.
It started a little interesting for me but it's all good
because by the end of the song you were unbelievable.
I love the note that you ended on.
By the time you moved over there and got your power, dude.
By the time you turned on the whole car
when you were over there, I was like, yes.
I even saw Steven started moving.
That's when we all kind of got it.
Steven, what do you think, baby?
I think sometimes it takes a little bit of being crazy
to make a difference in this world
and that's what you're all about.
And you are great.
Your voice is incredible.
You held it in your range where it's supposed to go.
The song was perfect for your voice
and you nailed it.
Rooted for you.
[F#] You nailed it.
James Durbin.
[F#m] I think the problem is you're not comfortable in front of a crowd.
That's kind of what it is.
It's [D#] pretty intimidating.
I know.
You're going to get used to it though.
You're going to [F#] get used to it.
