Lyrics
Watch me ride...
Take the words and the bass
Taste, and then swallow me
You're chasing the devil
Cos you're level if you follow me
For quality, and I make no apology
For linking my thinking with computer technology.
Cos this is like a modern day hymn
For the new church
I search for the truth
I've got a hole in my tooth
I'm uncouth, yes sir
I'm from the street university
Where we learn to earn even in times of adversity.
And I will find it a easy when you're out a hard time
Petite crime sometimes
But now I'm inclined to find
A fresh direction, kiss me neck
Check out the funky section.
Cos this is the part where I start to rip up words
A comfort coming straight from my heart
I'm not a mystic
My views are realistic, simplistic
One special brew I get pissed 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
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 spirit
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
You're soul is sold, where's it getting ya
Competition starts swearing ya
Gold-diggers setting you up
Soon be forgetting your existence
Do you need a for instance
I have to admire your persistence
In 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 ya later
Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator.
Quite still you feel there's nothing going on
until you realize the space behind your
eyes is filling up with something like peace
as your thoughts cease some pleasure grows in your soul.
I aint a Christian
Sometimes I feel like diss'in em
But listen I'm just trying to tell you what I 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'll want to know why babies die, food don't grow. Why?
Trains smash, plans crash
situation mash and slam bam
your fellow man - money's in fashion
it aint rational, because dammit, he didn't just give us the planet
and its wealth, inside your soul he left a piece of himself, his voice is small
I keep lying and trying
Denying the call from inside
You can't hide responsibility
So decide from today just who it's going to be
Thou shalt have no other God but me
So set you free see
But you'll 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 race track
And take a pace back, face facts
It's your decision
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 I want to mention these facts
These facts in my rap
I don't sing
But I want to share the peace that they bring
My name is G.O.D.
The Grand Oral Disseminator.
