Holier Than Thou |
We been doing this for a long long time now… |
This music thing… and touring, y’know… |
And still… I ain’t met one person that could maintain righteousness |
Know what I’m sayin'? |
A wise man told me evil was lurkin' and if you found it |
Try your best to not put yourself around it |
'Cause when you in it you tend to push it to the limit but |
Then it’s the sin you begin it, then wish that you stayed grounded |
I went all over the world and I done been through it |
At the beginning, I knew I wouldn’t give in to it |
But temptation, oh what the sensation |
Women I am embracin', so many of them waitin' |
Contemplatin' how to get fornication |
At yo door when it’s late with the motivation of Satan |
So they say, but things go they way |
And it’s more then pay told her hey yo the phase for today |
But lust it sets in, and crush your chest in |
For dust you’re destined, if drugs are let in |
Enough to nest in, prolly make you punch your best friend |
And next kin 'cause you let S-E-X win |
You mean to tell me you can fight this land |
With brightness and walk the path of the righteous man? |
Yo, I wanna believe that, itching to see that |
If a positive person can shake the negative feedback |
That this life has to offer when it’s faster |
What a disaster if you didn’t obey the master |
'Cause that’s mutiny, it would be new to me |
If you was on tour with Tecca N9na and still you could be |
(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you |
(Know me, know me) I know you’ll be strong, but you’ve been gone a |
(While) I know you still my |
(Child) So I’m pullin' for you |
(Don't you owe me) Your soul and if you know it won’t you |
(Show me, show me) You can see me if you look above the |
(Clouds) You’re holier than |
(Thou) So I say it for you |
How can I move the crowd without losin' out on my faith? |
Lucifer out of the way (way) |
Or maybe he don’t even exist |
I ain’t gotta trip off gettin' hookers out of my system (get you out of my |
system) |
See that’s how he tricks 'em |
Get 'em sippin' then a big ol' mickey he slips them (I wonder why) |
Music soothes the savage soul |
People can lose it when we lack control |
Really get used to livin' fast and so |
We smashin' women then they bypass they soul |
They believin' everything we breathin' |
Half of us is Jesus, the other half is heathen |
And how we get that bad half out? |
We pray the Lord’ll cast that out |
Hope he got blessings left and pass that out |
When we travellin' and pass that route |
Keep us under your graces in places where we have that doubt |
Where I stand, he’s pointin' at me, but it’s with my hand |
I need you, you holier than I am, I am |
(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you |
(Know me, know me) I know you’ll be strong, but you’ve been gone a |
(While) I know you still my |
(Child) So I’m pullin' for you |
(Don't you owe me) Your soul and if you know it won’t you |
(Show me, show me) You can see me if you look above the |
(Clouds) You’re holier than |
(Thou) So I say it for you |
This verse was intended for a gospel rapper |
That we all admire and he goes by the name of Da' T.R.U.T.H |
All we wanted was a righteous man to lead us in the right direction |
And maybe if he came we could change and regroup |
So we laid it down and sent it hopin' he would rap wit' us, track splittas |
Waited, and none of his people got back wit' us |
We kept callin' and they finally answered, when a month passed |
We was prepared to do whatever, give it if he wants cash |
But the lady who represent him would never send him a message from a secular |
messenger |
Never be no nepotism, we s’posed to be brothers, on the road to teach others |
But the flow would be covered, better mess with the Tech they know that we |
smother |
Anybody that diss us, retired of they weak flow |
'Cause this is the pinnacle, nobody flyer than me, bro |
If you didn’t like it then I admire the ego |
And if they never told you, then you better fire ya people |
'Cause fallen angels came for your help and then she pushed 'em |
But Christians be the first to run they mouth about Muslims |
But they always helpin' in the hood, but y’all closed me out |
Y’all didn’t even really wanna know what we 'bout |
And we bombay, T.R.U.T.H ain’t on this, so the Don' spray |
And I had to spit on it 'cause I couldn’t afford Kanye |
I needed help, your people showed me the wall |
Below me is y’all, I guess y’all wasn’t holy at all… naw! |
Much love to the gospel MC J Blast for coming down in the midst of sinners to |
try to help us remedy our situation |
Even though most if his peers told him not to 'cause we secular MCs |
Thanks for giving me Da' T.R.U.T.H. |
CD and bringing true Godliness to our |
circle bro. |
God bless you, for being so |
(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you |
(Know me, know me) I know you’ll be strong, but you’ve been gone a |
(While) While I know you still my |
(Child) Child, so I’m pullin' for you |
(Don't you owe me) Your soul and if you know it won’t you |
(Show me, show me) You can see me if you look above the |
(Clouds) Clouds, you’re holier than |
(Thou) Thou, so I say it for you |
(Holy, holy) If you lived in another world would you |
(Know me, know me) Would you know me? |
(While) WHILE, WHILE |
(Child) You my child now |
(Don't you owe me) Your soul and if you know it won’t you |
(Show me, show me) You can see me if you look up above the |
(Clouds) You’re holier than |
(Thou) Oooooooh… yeeeeaaaah |
