Well, I ain't sure, but I've been told
He's baking cakes inside our souls
Stayed awake, took a nap
Got myself my bottles back
I'm breakin' them out on the street
Walkin' 'round in my own bare feet
I do not need you to tell me that I am not a cat
I caught a ride, we caught some air
He's never gonna cut his hair
It takes more time to make a fake
We night swam down in the lake
And washed the dirt off our intentions
Prattled on 'bout bad inventions
I came as ice, I came as a whore
I came as advice that came too short
I came as gold, I came as crap
I came clean and I came as a rat
It takes a long time, but God dies, too
But not before he'll stick it to you
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You'll never die and you'll never grow old
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
I came as a call, I came as flat
I came too soon, so I came back
I came as flowers, I came as nice
I came as dirt and I came as its price
It takes a long time, but God dies, too
But not before he'll stick it to you
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
You'll never die and you'll never grow old
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh-yo
Huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh, huh-uh
