"A Righteous Expedition" lyrics
I walk with the Lord, but everybody's got demons
I used to wax hard just to camouflage feelings
I done bad things; my spirit can't rest — I'm not sleepin'
They locked me up in '06, and I began reading
See
Every story in the bible's got a deeper meaning, so I found myself thinking, staring deep into the ceiling
I would drift off
Next thing I'd be peacefully dreaming
It would turn into a nightmare — that's demons intervening
Let me explain: this God-given talent and my family was unstable, so I never found the balance
Mummy was an angel, but my daddy was a villain
I was born into sin; that's how all of us are livin'
I never had a choice — I'm genetically a sinner
The devil wants us all, but the Lord's much bigger
The demons roam the earth, but there's a much bigger picture
See, the Lord made everything, even Lucifer
Scientists will talk about the Big Bang theory
How there was a big bang and everybody just appeared
But the proof is in the intricacy of the human body — can you tell me how it works? Go ahead, anybody:
You can't
'Cause this is God's work right here
I think I only wrote half of the lyrics
I can feel the demons lurking in the atmosphere
Trying to stop me from going from the start to the finish
You'll never achieve nothing if your heart isn't in it
Let your talent be the key to escape from this prison
Spent a long time helping humanity diminish
Then my talent became apparent, and now I'm on a mission
They stopped me in the streets saying, "Bugzy, you're a legend!"
I barely seen a penny out of this lyrical blessing
As a bad boy, I would make money every second
But the devil is a liar, and the Lord taught me a lesson
Ezekiel 25:17
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord.
The devil is a fallen angel
Corrupting people from the beginning — it can be fatal
Look at Cain and Abel:
Cain killed his own brother, jealous
'Cause negativity is deep within us
And it can slowly kill us
I fight depression, jealousy, paranoia
My temper is malicious; it triggers insomnia
There's a dark cloud tarnishing my vision — it's oppressing
Only the Lord can give me the clarity of vision
Allowing me to move to the top with precision
Now I'm standing at the crossroads, making a decision:
Do I walk down the beaten track where the demons are at?
I've had it hard enough; I think I've had enough of that
You walk alone
While I walk with the Lord
God knows that the pen's mightier than the sword
I'm Bugzy Malone
Reinvented with a chance
Even though I was the product of a bad romance
You walk alone
While I walk with the Lord
God knows that the pen's mightier than the sword
I'm Bugzy Malone
Reinvented with a chance
Even though I was the product of a bad romance
