Today (stylized as TODAY), also called The Today Show, is an American news and talk morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952. It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest-running American television series. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays (a one-hour program) in 1987 and Saturdays (running for two hours) in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007.
Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America again. Today has maintained its No. 2 status since the summer of 2012 each year behind GMA. In 2002, Today was ranked No. 17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time.

Let's go! (oh x 16)
You know what it is
See them hands, let let let me see them hands
You know what it is
See them hands, let let let me see them hands
Let me see them hands to the sky like this a stick up
Yeah we goin' onward and nobody sippin' liquor
I'm fresh, brand new, man, somebody take a picture
I'm feelin' so official, throw the flag, blow the whistle
Set it off, blow it up, but, but you can keep the missile
Grace through the mediator, my [?]
... in the middle
Here we get the "W" so you can call me winner, yessir
Gave the Lord control, command, shift, enter
So you aimin' for the stars? Most drive a mini-missle
And I'm aimin for the Lord, through the Son, that's how we hit em'
It's more than just some music, it's a movement, see the Scriptures?
I'm pride in the Lord, but humble since my beginning
I'm humbled from the start
My pride is in the cross
Victory is mine, I'm working for the boss
You know what it is, and lemme see them hands up,
You know what it is, now lemme see them hands up
Yeah we do it big, we 'bout to set it off
Victory is mine, my pride is in the cross
You know what it is, and lemme see them hands up
You know what it is, now lemme see them hands up
The Father's who I follow, he runs it out like a Cannon
Tryin' to bring you out the dark, somebody turn the flash on
So you can get the picture, He's the reason you ain't passed on
He's gracious plus He's patient, He hates when one is passed on
Over, nah, it ain't over, roger that come back now over
Pride'll kill ya, lies'll kill ya, gassed up like Exxon-Mobil
Get you lookin at yourself just like Face Off with John Travolta
Watch it - pride'll have you tryin' to network and netflirt like Oprah
Hey, but I'm humbled by the Cross, for real
Somebody tell Ross I know who the Boss for real
Pride leads you to destruction, get you lost for real
But the humble in Him, boastin and floss?, for real
I'm humbled from the start
My pride is in the cross
Victory is mine, I'm working for the boss
You know what it is, and lemme see them hands up,
You know what it is, now lemme see them hands up
Yeah we do it big, we 'bout to set it off
Victory is mine, my pride is in the cross
You know what it is, and lemme see them hands up
You know what it is, now lemme see them hands up
Now you might wanna lean with it, might wanna rock with it
Might wanna do the Superman, or Cat Daddy, Dougie, pop and lock with it
Go'n and get it, on that Psalms 30: 11, I know my God did it
(Just dance?)
Ain't no pride in it, you know the Rock's in it
I know we're loco with the dudes that don't flow
My bros in dark clothes [?] with the Lord, it's top [?]
You hear these lines and hooks? Homie, we fishermen - we preach.
With this Gospel network, gettin' good reception with 3Gs
Our souls are so low to behold the Lord of hosts
To know, conozco, I wanna go until you know
I'm safer than Noah when the flood came
Homie, I rejoiced.
His cross is beyond the arc, he nailed it - three points.
I'm humbled from the start
My pride is in the cross
Victory is mine, I'm working for the boss
You know what it is, and lemme see them hands up,
You know what it is, now lemme see them hands up
Yeah we do it big, we 'bout to set it off
Victory is mine, my pride is in the cross
You know what it is, and lemme see them hands up
You know what it is, now lemme see them hands up
