Watch me ride...
Take my words and the bass
Taste, and then swallow me
I'm 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 the easy way out of a hard time
Petty crime sometime
But now I'm inclined to find
A fresh direction
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
Is you can never escape from your fate
The mistake is to take without givin'
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 sweating 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
Take my words and the bass
Taste, and then swallow me
I'm 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 the easy way out of a hard time
Petty crime sometime
But now I'm inclined to find
