The Roots - Understand lyrics

[Intro - Dice Raw:] Never understand [Hook - Dice Raw:] People ask for God, 'till the day he comes See God's face - turn around and run God sees the face of a man Shaking his head, says "he'll never understand" People ask for god, 'till the day he comes See God's face - turn around and run God sees the face of a man Shaking his head then says, "man'll never understand" [Bridge - Dice Raw:] Never understand, never understand Never understand [Verse 1 - Black Thought:] Gravedigger, dig a hole that fit a black n***a My body's stiff as a Madame Tussaud's wax figure My transformation: a caterpillar from crack dealer And backpedaller was no less, than spectactular Yeah I was trappin' money, flippin' like a spatula Now put that s**er in a box like Dracula I led the devil in a dance An electric slide across the line I drew up in the sand Dead, ended Love is like a harlequin's romance Lost between sips of liquor, that empty bottle in my hands It was a shot away, but I never got away Dreamed a little dream of me, but that was an anomaly Yea, people as for God... [Hook] [Verse 2 - Greg p**n:] Holy, Sugar, Honey, Ice Tea I guess that's a prayer for a player like me In my church clothes baking buzz on the bible The sweet temptation of my grand daddy's rifle Got me thinking 'bout doing a jihad with these guys Who only True Religion look better than Levi's Who baptize gla**es with beers and blood stain You preaching to the choir, that praise the drug game Hallelujah 'Til the cops cuff me in the back of a cruiser Or the firetruck wash my soul down the sewer I count my blessings and blow it on a nun to resurrect my erection I pray, I pray, All Dogs Go To Heaven Or to a new hell with a Wi-Fi connection So I can pay for my sins on PayPal Or own a holy ghost, a greyhound [Hook]
