| Take my words and the bass Taste and then swallow me Chasing the devil 'Cause you're level if you follow me For quality, and I make no apology For linking my thinking with computer technology 'Cause this is like a modern-day hymn for the new church I search for the truth, I got a hole in my tooth I'm uncouth, yes sir I'm from a street university Where we learned to earn Even in times of adversity And I will find the easy way out of a hard time Petty crime, sometimes I'm inclined To find a fresh direction Check out the funky section 'Cause this is the part Where I start to rip words up Of comfort, coming straight from my heart I'm not a mystic, my views are realistic, simplistic One special brew I get pi**ed quick And get sick so I don't do it no more I won't find peace of mind rolling around on the floor The point I want to make Is you can never escape your fate The mistake is to take without giving From within, you know how I'm living I'm cool, I'm looking after myself And I could never place wealth before my spiri I feel it's unhealthy The devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy Till you get bold, rush the gold And before you're much older, your soul is sold Where's it getting you Competition starts sweating you Golddiggers setting you up You'll soon be forgetting your existence Do you need a for instance I have to admire your persistence I'm sticking to a game plan That brings you pain man And at the end of the day nothing is gained So listen to the voice within, I'll see you later Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator Quiet, still, you feel there's nothing going on Until you realise the space behind your eyes Is filling up with something like peace As your thoughts cease and pleasure grows in your soul I ain't Christian, sometimes I feel like dissing them But listen, I'm just trying to tell you what I want to know If you would once relax, chill to the max These words on wax will cause sweet bells to ring in your soul If I say God is alive I know you want to know why Babies die, food don't grow Why trains smash, planes crash, situations mash And slam-bam your fellow man Money's in fashion, huh, it ain't rational Because damnit, he didn't just give us the planet |
And its wealth, deep inside your soul he left a piece of himself The Lord is in here, his voice is small You keep lying and trying, denying the call from inside You can't hide responsibility So decide from today just how it's going to be 'Thou shalt have no other god but me' He can set you free, see, but you have to listen And who's that false idol I see you kissing? Money, success and untold wealth, good health And all you have to do is love yourself It's a fact you'll attract all the things that you lack So just chill and get off the racetrack And take a pace back, face facts It's your decsion You don't need eyes to see, you need vision Continue to view the Lord as being separated And you'll be living a lie that's being perpetrated For many centuries I'm on a mission These facts in my rap I don't sing, I want to share the peace that they bring My name is GOD, the Grand Oral Disseminator |
