Get into the Motion
They don't like the way I walk
They don't like the way I talk
They don't like the clothes I wear
They don't like the color of my hair
They come in all different colors
and from all walks of life
They came step by step closer
For salvation I pulled out a knife
They don't like me skinny
They don't like me fat
I put on a movie queen act
playing in 'I don't have to TAKE THAT'!
Slaved away
A bail of diamonds a day
When they tried to run free
they shot bullets in their knees
When their wounds healed
they were thrown right back to slave away in
their own diamond fields!
As a matter of fact
they don't have to TAKE THAT!
Before they were forced onto the
death trains
their fate was lucky to get a bullet
in their heads
Their spirits still haunting
war criminals brains
cause they kept on and on piling up
the dead
With abnormal amounts of
stimulants
they all seem to have felt quite
innocent
In the Green Pastures is where their victims
are all at
And in there they don't have to
TAKE THAT!
As a child one tried to teach me that
"fat people are gross"
"What's gross mean" I questioned.
She replied, "Disgusting"!
Now that same one weighs in at 300 pounds
What you put out comes right back around
Now who's disgusting? Now who's fat?
TAKE THAT!
Just like 'Crocodile' my teeth are
filed sharp
You think I'm docile
You can not discipline
my heart!
I watch you!
I study you!
I surround you!
I'm all around you!
I wait patently for the time to
strike back
Just like 'Crocodile' I could
massacre you!
TAKE THAT!
I can hear you too loud!
What's inside of you to
be proud?
You are easily seen no matter how you
try to hide
We all have our own choices
To choose between Heaven or Hell
I choose Heaven
it seems to me that it's easy to tell
that you chose Hell
And with every step you take
and with every mistake you make
while you sneak behind my back
Choosing Heaven is where it's at
and with this choice I don't have to
TAKE THAT!
If you think it's going to end like Hiroshima
you ain't nothing but a bad dreamer
The planet Earth is going to become anew
with all the sky the color blue
I dream of the greenest of green forests
and of the bluest of blue oceans
So people, let's get into the motion!
END
