Lyrics:
the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, He
he's busy watching over me.
He rules the universe, from his throne on high.
But when I need attention, he is by my side,
He's watching me. Yes, he's
Move a little closer baby
Dancing up close and personal
Move your hands all over my body
Taking it step by step
Chorus:
Higher and higher
Lifting
was taught to observe it, not absorb it
So I don't absorb, melody
Married to harmony
One in the same
Taking over all
My reverie tumbling,
it's gone, they turn him down.
They're all alike at the bottom, selfish and gasping for all.
They'll stand by a man while he's winning and laugh in his
About the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love
Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By taking your hand
And who I am now
Is who
to die
But taking everything that he's livin' by
And reject him from society all God's children ain't free
No reject him from society all God's
this world that I don't know
I saved King David's life
And he offered me a wife
I said now you're talking business
Have a chair
you to see me
Standing in that line
Cause that union man's got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I
and as sleepy as night
Warm in the woods that conceal him from light
He is accustomed to hiding from people
Taking his time as he crosses the bridge
Holding
It was always me versus the world
Until I found it's me versus me
Why, why, why, why?
Why, why, why, why?
Just remember what happens on earth
to see me
Standing in that line
Cause that union man's got such a hold over me
He's the man who decides if I live or I die, if I starve, or I eat
Then
Don't hurt me none, don't hurt my pride
'Cause I got my little lady right by my side
She's a-tryin' to hide
Pretendin' she don't know me
I's out
My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't he make me proud
He never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord,
gotta break
There's a lot who can stand
But not a lot who can take
Save me
Something is taking me over
And there's no place that I can hide
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman
In man's evolution he's created the city and the motor
Listen to me sister, I got news from the governor
And he's heard people shouting from the towers in the city
While their babies grow in test tubes
conversations, he died in June.
See the stab wounds in his hands
See him dying in his room
He's dying in his room
He's dying in his room
Heading for me, heading
Listen to me sister, I got news from the governor
And he's heard people shouting from the towers in the city
While their babies grow in test tubes
My baby makes me proud
Lord, don't he make me proud
He never makes a scene
By hangin' all over me in a crowd
'Cause people like to talk
Lord,
the bottle
It's a damn shame what you're not though, (who?) Me
Slick like a gato, fucking Jay-Z
My pops knew exactly what he did when he made me
Tried
he fell to the ground
Now Mary sits alone by the candle light
And reads his letter over every night
Oh Mary don't you weep for me
Oh Mary just
crawling through your brain
You think he's there
Beware his bite
But when you look
The spiders not in sight
Spiders reappear
Taking people's names
many shots last night
And I spent all my money
Started thinkin', "Am I stupid to be funny
Over things that's been hauntin' me all my life?"
And I'm
