Reverence Lyrics

[02:58.98] Watch me ride...
[03:01.02] Take my words and the bass,
[03:03.03] Taste, and then swallow me,
[03:04.03] I'm chasing the devil
[03:05.05] Cos you're level if you follow me
[03:07.06] For quality, and I make no apology
[03:09.07] For linking my thinking with computer technology.
[03:12.10] Cos this is like a modern day hymn
[03:15.15] For the new church,
[03:16.16] I search for the truth,
[03:17.18] I've got a hole in my tooth,
[03:18.19] I'm Uncouth, yes sir,
[03:19.19] I'm from the street university
[03:21.21] Where we learn to earn even in times of adversity.
[03:24.23] And I will find the easy way out of a hard time
[03:25.29] Petty crime sometime,
[03:28.31] But now I'm inclined to find
[03:30.33] A fresh direction,
[03:31.37] Check out the funky section.
[03:35.39] Cos this is the part where I start to rip up words,
[03:38.42] A comfort coming straight from my heart,
[03:40.44] I'm not a mystic, my views are realistic, simplistic,
[03:45.50] One special brew I get pissed quick,
[03:46.51] And get sick so I don't do it no more,
[03:49.54] I won't find peace of mind
[03:51.54] Rolling around on the floor.
[03:52.57] The point I want to make,
[03:54.58] Is you can never escape from your fate,
[03:56.56] The mistake is to take without givin',
[03:58.61] From within,
[03:59.63] You know how I'm living,
[04:01.58] I'm cool, I'm looking after myself,
[04:03.67] And I could never place wealth before my spirit,
[04:06.62] I feel it's unhealthy,
[04:07.72] The devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy
[04:09.75] 'Till you get bold, rush the gold,
[04:12.76] And before you're much older,
[04:13.76] You're soul is sold, where's it getting ya,
[04:15.78] Competition starts sweating ya,
[04:17.80] Gold-diggers setting you up,
[04:19.83] Soon be forgetting your existence,
[04:22.83] Do you need a for instance,
[04:23.88] I have to admire your persistence
[04:25.90] In sticking to a game plan,
[04:27.91] That brings you pain man,
[04:29.95] And at the end of the day nothing is gained,
[04:31.96] So listen to the voice within,
[04:33.96] I'll see ya later,
[04:35.94] Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator.
[05:13.00] Quiet, still, you feel there's nothing going on
[05:15.03] Until you realise the space behind your eyes
[05:18.07] Is filling up with something like peace
[05:20.07] As your thoughts cease and
[05:21.10] Pleasure grows in your soul.
[05:24.13] I ain't a Christian, sometimes
[05:26.15] I feel like dissing em, but listen
[05:27.16] I'm just trying to tell ya what I know
[05:29.20] If you would once relax, chill to the max
[05:32.22] These words on wax will cause sweet bells
[05:34.23] To ring in your soul.
[05:36.24] If I say God is alive I know you wanna know why
[05:38.28] Babies die, food don't grow, why trains smash, planes crash
[05:42.31] Situation mash and slam bam your fellow man
[05:45.32] Money's in fashion, huh, it ain't rational,
[05:48.35] Because dam it, he didn't just give us the planet
[05:51.36] And its wealth, deep inside your soul he left a piece of himself
[05:54.38] The lord is in here. His voice is small.
[05:58.43] You keep lying and trying,
[05:59.45] Denying the call from inside
[06:01.49] You can't hide responsibility
[06:03.51] So decide from today just how it's going to be,
[06:06.53] Thou shalt have no other god but me,
[06:09.56] He can set you free see,
[06:10.57] But you have to listen,
[06:12.62] And who's that false idol
[06:14.66] I see you kissing?
[06:16.70] Money, success and untold wealth, good health
[06:17.72] And all you have to do is love yourself.
[06:20.74] It's a fact you'll attract all the things that you lack,
[06:23.77] So just chill
[06:25.74] And get off the racetrack
[06:26.80] And take a pace back, face facts,
[06:28.72] It's your decision,
[06:29.83] You don't need eyes to see,
[06:31.86] You need vision,
[06:32.87] Continue to view the lord as being separated
[06:34.88] And you'll be living a lie that's being perpetrated,
[06:37.94] For many centuries, I'm on a mission,
[06:40.96] These facts in my rap,
[06:41.98] I don't sing,
[06:45.01] But I want to share the peace that they bring,
[06:47.02] My name is G.O.D.
[06:49.00] The Grand Oral Disseminator
[06:50.07]
