Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The judge and the paralegal tell me that I'm liable
The cost that you pay, you swapped the bevy for the bible
Heading to the promised land ruled by the masculine
Tied to the country where we're all from the motherland
Those who were humble, they stumble and crumble
Ooh, what a tragedy, I'm the false currency
Giving you the dollar and I check-a-check-a change ya
Not here to drown ya, I'm only here to cleanse ya
[Verse 2]
I'll cross the border in the morning
And I won't stop to hear your warnings
Who's coming with me, are you all in?
'Cause we're running tell the day is dawning
[Verse 3]
I got the Holy Ghost fire in me
Dancing in Hell, you can call it blasphemy
I got the Holy Ghost fire in me
Dancing in Hell, you can call it blasphemy
I got the Holy Ghost fire in me
Dancing in Hell, you can call it blasphemy
I got the Holy Ghost fire, Holy Ghost fire
In me, in me, in me
[Verse 4]
You can tell your deity, I'm alright
Wake up in the bed, call me Jesus Christ
[Verse 5]
It's only superstition if you ever listen
I saw myself self-assault in a premonition
I saw myself smelling salts in the South Pacific
I'm so prolific, I done and did it
[Verse 6]
It was in a rainbow
No
Ever go where the rain don't
No
Ever seen a rainbow
No
Ever go where the rain don't
[Verse 7]
Salt pillar, philosophic polyfilla
Deserted in the desert, turning a sign into a mirror
Fables and cables turning towers into tables
I'm out, yeah, empty cradle in the stables
[Verse 8]
I'll cross the border in the morning
And I won't stop to hear your warnings
Who's coming with me, are you all in?
'Cause we're running tell the day is dawning
[Verse 9]
I got the Holy Ghost fire in me
Dancing in Hell, you can call it blasphemy
I got the Holy Ghost fire in me
Dancing in Hell, you can call it blasphemy
I got the Holy Ghost fire in me
Dancing in Hell, you can call it blasphemy
I got the Holy Ghost fire, Holy Ghost fire
In me, in me, in me
[Verse 10]
You can tell your deity, I'm alright
Wake up in the bed, call me Jesus Christ
You can tell your deity, I'm alright
Wake up from the dead, call me Jesus Christ
You can tell your deity, I'm alright
Wake up in the bed, call me Jesus Christ
You can tell your deity, I'm alright
Wake up from the dead, call me Jesus Christ
