The Power Of God

(앨범: Mama Said Knock You Out - 1990)

Something real smooth
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
We'll get into the groove
The power of God move
Something real smooth
Something you need to take heed to

A basehead cleaned up his act
He stopped smoking crack and took his soul back
Decided he could find a much better way to live
You know the way, positive
Without all the negative chemicals and drugs
Without all the hanging with the envious thugs
Never before was a man so far behind
And came back to rule for a long time
Positive will explode when you light me
My enemies lurked and they held the dagger tightly
Wanted to taste my blood, but they got scarred
When they felt the power of God

Wickedness got crushed when the Lord came
Down with the King, 'cause he's evil and vain
He doesn't understand the power of a 'preme
Doesn't realize I'm rolling with a team
Avenging angels will come and burn
All those who saw, but refused to learn
He has no color, no shape and no form
And like I told you before, I'm just getting warm
Get up, get down, get on it, it ain't that hard
You can feel the power of God

Money is small and the soul stands tall
All those who don't realize this fall
The mind of a drunken fool is a useless tool
And it's cool to be in school
And overcome and overpower, but still uplift
Your mind is a gift
You're somebody, whether you know it or not
Outside the weather is hot
People walk around with their minds in a daze
Never take the time to stop and give praise
You're lucky to live in this world
Even the starving boys and girls
'Cause life is a gift in itself
And only certain people are blessed with good health
I'm Uncle L, but you can call me Todd
I can feel the power of God

You know what I'm sayin'?
And G is the seventh letter made
Yeah, G is the seventh letter made
The power of God
Yeah

The babies, we gotta teach 'em and hold 'em
Send 'em to school so we can teach 'em and mold 'em
Shape 'em and make 'em take form
'Cause their mind is like a ball of clay when it's wet and warm
Harmless and innocent
Until they're taught to be violent and militant
This mentality gotta be erased by faith
The twelfth hour is coming, we're close to the eighth
Get a chapter and gain some knowledge
If not from the Bible or Koran, get a book from college
It's not about being black or white
It's about everybody being alright
I pulled out my mic and the devil got hit hard
He felt the power of God

And G is the seventh letter made
Power of God
G is the seventh letter made

That was just a word to the wise
Uprise
'Cause we definitely gotta unify
And we need unity in times like these
We got to stick together
'Cause we as a people
All people
Gotta make it to the promised land
Peace
