[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, 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 nigga My body's stiff as a Madame Tussaud's wax figure My transformation: a caterpillar from crack Dealing [?] backpedaller was no less, than spectactular Yeah I was trappin' money, flippin' like a spatula Now put that sucker in a box like Dracula I let the devil in to dance An electric slide across the line I drew 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 of eighth, but I never got away Dreamed a little dream of me, but that was an anomaly [Hook:] [Verse 2: Greg Porn] Holy, Sugar, Honey, Ice Tea I guess that's a prayer for a player like me In my church clothes bakin' 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 glasses with beers and blood stain You breathing to the choir, that prayer's the drug game Hallelujah 'Til the cops cough me in the back of a cruiser [??] , 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 own a 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 Shaking his head, says "man'll never understand"
