Reverence - Faithless.mp3

[00:00.00] My name is,
[00:00.93] Maxi Jazz and I ain't no joke,
[00:03.22] I make you choke on the mic,
[00:05.12] When I go for broke,
[00:06.50] When I come into a jam I tear off my shirt,
[00:09.53] I have no knowledge of fear, cause I'm hear to do work.
[00:13.20] Uh,
[00:14.36] Yeah,
[00:15.53] Watch me ride..
[00:20.91] Take my words and the bass
[00:23.24] Taste and then swallow me
[00:25.59] No chasing the devil
[00:27.54] Cause you're level if you follow me
[00:29.62] For quality, and I make no apology
[00:33.24] For linking my thinking with computer technology
[00:36.68] 'Cause this is like a modern day hymn,
[00:39.52] For the new church, I search for the truth,
[00:42.11] I got a hole in my tooth, I'm uncouth, yes sir.
[00:45.32] I'm from a street university where we,
[00:48.40] Learn to earn even in times of adversity.
[00:51.68] And I would find the easy way out of a hard time,
[00:55.33] Petty crimes, some time but now I'm inclined to find
[00:59.32] A fresh direction, kiss me neck, check out the funky section
[01:03.96] 'Cause this is the part where I start to rip up words
[01:07.82] A comfort coming straight from my heart,
[01:10.59] I'm not a mystic,
[01:12.75] My views are realistic,
[01:14.94] Simplistic,
[01:16.42] One special brew I get pissed quick
[01:19.46] And get sick so I don't do it no more
[01:22.50] I won't find peace of mind
[01:24.96] Rolling around on the floor
[01:27.27] The point I want to make is
[01:29.28] you can never escape from your fate
[01:32.40] The mistake is to take without giving
[01:35.40] From within, You wanna know how I'm living,
[01:38.48] I'm cool..
[01:40.10] I'm looking after myself,
[01:42.52] And I would never put wealth before my spirit,
[01:45.74] I feel it's unhealthy
[01:47.74] The devil creep around ya, so stealthy stealthy
[01:51.58] 'Til you get bold, rush the gold
[01:54.40] And before your much older, your soul is sold
[01:57.65] And where's it gettin ya?
[01:59.48] Competition starts swearing ya
[02:02.30] Golddiggers setting you up
[02:04.62] Soon be forgetting your existence
[02:07.45] Do ya need a for instance
[02:09.68] I hafta admire your persistence
[02:12.65] In sticking to a game plan,
[02:15.19] That brings ya pain man,
[02:17.38] And at the end of the day nothing is gained.
[02:20.93] So listen to the voice within
[02:23.50] I'll see ya later,
[02:25.54] Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator.
[02:30.07] (Chorus)
[02:30.93] Quiet, still, you feel there's nothing going on
[02:34.98] Until you realize the space behind your eyes
[02:38.83] Is filling up with something like peace
[02:42.34] As your thoughts cease and
[02:45.32] Pleasure grows in your soul.
[02:47.66] I ain't a Christian, sometimes I feel like dissin' 'em
[02:51.68] But listen, I'm just tryin' to tell you, what I know
[02:55.70] If you could, once relax
[02:58.26] Chill to the max, these words on wax
[03:01.89] Would cause sweet bells to ring in your soul
[03:05.47] If I say God is alive I know you wanna know why
[03:09.52] Babies die, food don't grow, why trains smash, planes crash
[03:14.30] Situation mash and slam bam your fellow man
[03:18.17] Money's in fashion, huh, it ain't rational,
[03:22.08] Because damn it, he didn't just give us the planet
[03:26.15] And its wealth, deep inside your soul he left a piece of himself
[03:30.65] The lord is in here. His voice is small.
[03:33.72] You keep lying and trying,
[03:36.70] Denying the call From inside
[03:39.80] You can't hide responsibility
[03:42.74] So decide from today just how it's going to be,
[03:46.72] Thou shalt have no other god but me,
[03:49.88] He can set you free, see
[03:52.48] But you have to listen,
[03:54.67] Now who's that false idol
[03:57.23] I see you kissing
[03:59.36] Money, success and untold wealth, good health
[04:03.65] And all you have to do is love yourself.
[04:06.58] It's a fact you'll attract all the things that you lack,
[04:10.51] So just chill
[04:12.20] And get off the racetrack
[04:14.70] And take a pace back, face facts,
[04:17.90] It's your decision,
[04:19.98] You don't need eyes to see,
[04:22.50] You need vision,
[04:24.58] Continue to view the lord as being separated
[04:28.45] And You're living a lie that's been perpetrated,
[04:32.48] For many centuries, I wanna mention these facts in my rap
[04:36.63] Huh, I don't sing.
[04:39.10] But I want to share the peace that they bring,
[04:42.20] My name is G.O.D.
