The Roots - Understand feat Dice Raw, Greg Porn

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, 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
Shakes his head then says, "MAN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND"

Never understand, never understand
Never understand

Gravedigger, dig a hole that fit a black nigga
My body's stiff as a Madame Tussauds wax figure
My transformation to caterpillar from crack dealing
And back pedaling was no less than spectacular
Yeah, I was trapping, money flipping like a spatula
Now put that sucker in a box like Dracula
I let the Devil in the dance
An electric slide, I close the line I drew up in the sand
Dead ended
Loveless like a harlequin's romance
Lost between sips of liquor that be bottled in my hands
It was a shot away but I never got away
Dreamed a little dream of me but that was an anomaly

Yo, 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
Shakes his head then says, "MAN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND"

Poly, sugar, honey, ice tea
I guess that's a plan for a player like me
In my church clothes making buzz on the Bible
The sweet temptation of my granddaddy's rifle
Got me thinking 'bout doing a jihad with these guys
The only true religion look better than Levi's
Who baptize glasses with beers and blood stains
You preaching to the choir that praise the drug game
Hallelujah
Till the cops cuff me in the back of a cruiser
Waterfied truck, 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 thoughts go to heaven
Or to a new hell with a Wi-Fi connection
So I can pay for my sins on PayPal
Or horn the holy ghost a greyhound

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
Shakes his head then says, "MAN WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND"
