Voodoo

D'angelo Voodoo Lyrics
1.africa

Africa is my descent
and here I'm far from home
I dwell within a land that's meant
meant for many men not my tone

The blood of god is my defense
let it drop down 2 my seed
showers 2 your innocense
2 protect U for all eternity
and with this wood I beat this drum
and we won't see defeat

From kings 2 queens becomes a prince
knowledge wisdom is
understanding what we need

Ever since the day U came
my whole world began 2 change
I knew then 2 dedicate my life,
4 your own
everyday I see U grow
and remember what U already know
I receive the love
that radiates from your glow

From which U came was love
and that's how it all should be
U and my soul are 1
through all the time and history


2.chicken grease

let me tell U' bout the chicken grease
stuffs and things 2 make the people get out ya Seat
everybody it's cool if u wanna clap your hands and stomp YOUR
feet
come on down 2 the front where you can feel the beat
from the left 2 right, the BACK the middle and the front
don't be uptight, shake it off do what u want
pump it in the club get a little bit a rub-a-dub
I know u love me cause I'm funky cause I just wanna show u some
love

chicken grease
chicken grease

2 get 2 the other side
Y'all cross the road
but not the kid see i'm like that old bucket of crisco
that's sitting on top of the stove
simmer to a sizzle like the days of old
but I'll wait til I've mastered this, let the others go first
so the brothers wont miss
fried til it's burned and crisp
say we be cooking so the funksters can raise their fist like
this
now u know how its goin down, start at your neck,
then thrOugh your back then it works its way down 2 your feet
so unique, come on everybody let's dance 2 the beat
I just wanna put u down (yeah)
I just want u all to get down (yeah)
everybody come on and get down 2 the chicken grease

If you wanna come on down 2 the front

I got the music and the instruments use em as my weapons at hand
everybody on the floor if u listening 2 me
clap your hands stomp your feet
I just wanna put u down (yeah)
I just want ya all 2 get down (yeah)
everybody come get down 2 the chicken grease (yeah)

chicken grease
chicken grease


3.devil's pie

Fuck the slice we want the pie
Why ask why till we fry
Watch us all stand in line
For a slice of the devil's pie
Drugs and thugs womeN wine
Three or four at a time
Watch them stand all in line
For a slice of the devil's pie

Who am I to justify
All the evil in our eye
When I myself feel the high
From all that I despise

Behind the jail or in the grave
I have to lay in this bed I made
If I die before I wake
I Hope the lord dont' hesitate
2 get 2 heaven done been through hell
Tell my peeps all is well
All them fools whose soul's 4 sale
Sitting next to the Jezebel

Demons screaming in my ear
All my anger all my fear
If I holler let them hear
In this spinning sphere


Main ingredients 2 this dish
Goes like this
Here's the list
Materialistic, greed and lust, jealousy, envious
Bread and dough, cheddar cheese, flash and stash, cash and cream
Temperatures at a high degree
Wheres niggas come 2 feast
Hell's this all about
Apocalypse ain't no doubt

Everbody's ho'ing out all the loot all the clout
Right or wrong
Do or die
Only the vengeance will pacify
Watch your back
And so will I
In these days and time


Aint no justice
It's Just us
Ashes 2 ashes
Dust 2 dust
Time has come for most of us
2 choose in which God we trust
I know I was born 2 die
Searching 2 find
Piece of mind
With eighty five dumb and blind
There can be no compromise


4.left & right

Yo, yo
Yeah, come on

I see you dancing right now
I don't need to tell you that you know how
Baby you do, oh

And if you dream, you'd be free

Fingertips touching and you'll come back

The sexy little things you do
(The sexy little things you do)
Oh, oh why don't you know?
The sexy little things you do, ooh

Yo, yo
My flows remarkable
Doc walk like Kane from Kung Fu round the globe
Throw obstacles I'll hurdle them
Herb and whack MC's, drum racks
To the rims to the caps
Yo Meth, Tical, and D
I'm ASAP, I'm crack a don chicken hunting at KFC
In '83 I was that scrub TLC talking 'bout
Now I rock the house
Chalk 'em out

Yeah no doubt who gots the biggest ass in the house
Young miss fillet-a-fish
Salt water trout, pretty young thing
Got a tongue ring and dirty mouth
And she whispering them sweet nothings
I hear it out
Baby you got me like Joni had Cha Chi
Until she got high and went and fucked Potsi
Lady Godiva
From day one a dick rider
Liar, liar set your pussy on fire

Yo Doc be off the wall
We keep a Marly cheap
Pulling a Harley deep with a jar of grease
Come 1-5-1, straight endo, the spot
I fuck brown sugar behind the fiber glass window
Its Doc not guns don't sling weight
The only thing I sling is condoms for spring break
(Fuck 'em) How we do it?
(Leave 'em) How we do it?
(Get the money) The pussy
(The weed) Now do it

Now take your coat off and stay a while
Now honey child if you're gon' be acting funny style
Then I don't need ya
It's Saturday, this night fever
Shit is popping, Acheeva my mouth cotton
Tis the season for draws dropping
And heavy breathing
You ain't skeezin' you dick teasin'
I'm leavin'
Acting rotten, I got no time for games
I'm no joke
Drop that ass when I'm finished
And watch it smoke
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

6.send it on

Send it up
Send it through
Send it right back 2 U
Send it up
Send it through
Send it right back 2 U

Your inner view to me is
Something that I do desire
Struggling 2 see a new something that I fantasize
So I'm sending
U can't disguise your emotions
U know that I see in your eyes
U soul's ME, your soul's somethin' that I feel inside
Run, run, run, run if I run Lord only knows how far
That I and I will fall behind
Gotta find a better place, gotta find a better space
So that I, so my life may be the reason why

Hold on be strong, 4 your own
Move on b4 long, you'll get home
If your feeling insecure
U can be sure
Even if it take forever and a day for me 2 do
I gotta send it on TO U
Tell me what will I do
Send it right back 2 U


7.spanish joint

whenever it rains I feel this way
a little something 2 get me thorugh this
give me a little that, no time flat
gonna be a good thing

Serene but in need of feelin free
letting go and landing on my feet
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

Well people believe this saying is true
whatever will be will forever do
whatever the cost I'll pay in full
I ain't got nothing to do with you

Gotta get out gotta get out of here
I'm in the dark, and the light looks sincere
brushed the dirt off my back no time flat
gonna be a good thing

All U do is complain about your pain
and the cloud that follows U won't cease to rain
dont look back handle that
make it into a good thing

Something up in me gotta be
sole controller in control of me
a link in your chain, just won't do
I don't want nothin' 2 do with U
