Deep Enough
we hit the room,
me and my crew and it was cool,
until we bumped into you now it's been years,
but there you were like a mustang,
redlinin' every single gear with a man
that danced like he was born in '49,
but lost his groove back when jesus died
i wanna know, are those replacement hips?
is that a swatch watch?
do you know what time it is?
does he run it deep enough
to take you there?
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me baby
does he run it deep enough?
tell me, tell me
does he run it deep enough?
does he run it deep enough for you?
we hit a couch,
the place was packed with sweaty palms,
sweaty thongs,
and sweaty backs
my mouth was dry,
my brain cold high,
the groove was right,
so i decided to ignite your eyes met mine,
you skirt began to rise,
and so did i now you know
that i took that prize
in the middle of the club,
in the middle of the club,
in the middle of club now tell me!
does he run it deep enough
to take you there?
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me baby
does he run it deep enough?
tell me baby
what did i do?
what did i say?
that gave you away
tell me what didn't i do,
what didn't i say that sent you away from me
does he run it deep enough
to take you there?
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me baby
does he run it deep enough
oh tell me, tell me
i'm just a jealous guy, i'm just a jealous guy, come on!
LIKE A SOLDIER
i just come down from the mountain
a happy man turned on the television,
should of chewed off my hand
i'm sick of all the false glory "in god we trust"
show me one dollar bill
that hasn't passed through the cuss
and if you break my will
i will come back again
to destroy everything you stood for oh!
i will go on like a soldier
through the storms of love
and i take you back,
take you away from here my friend
and charge you up again
we just come down from the mountain
where the breezes were blowin
and everything was growin
like some tree in the bush still
i gotta live my life here
with some pretty scary bretheren
but now i'm a rebel on a mission
baby to live and die by my smile
and if you break my will
i will come back again
to destroy everything you stood for oh yeah!
i will go on like a soldier
through the storms of love
and i take you back,
take you away from here my friend
and charge you up again
charge you up again charge you up again, yeah
let's go to ray's,
not to pizza hut
let's go to the pig,
not to starbux
let's vote for nader,
what are we waitin for?
i'm gonna live to be a hundred and sixty four
to the crib then back to the studio
to write a song so good
make a midget grow from the north pole,
down to mexico
if you don't know the words, fuck it! let's go!
