Текст песни Holier Than Thou (Tech N9ne) с переводом

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
