| If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another It's a crazy mixed up world, it's a dog eat dog world Life is full strife, people just aren't nice Everybody's talking smack, Running games on this and that Racial resentment adds to this contentment Talk to any guy he'll tell you taxes are too high Books movies are corrupt, suicide is way up Kids are a sorry lot, some folks say it's kind of pot Phony ego trips, everyone has flipped If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another Everybody's shacking up, married folks are packing up Country's going up in smoke, Where is Noah with his boat Blacks marching on dc, 400 years still not free Martin paid all a man can pay, still he's not a holiday Folks messing with my mind, make me Frankenstein This woman by my side, she's Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde Can't get my head on right, problems day and night Try to calm my nerves I've tried smoke, Doctors give me dope to cope If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another My funky two bit job went on strike I've put up with a lot of crap I don't like And to add to my woes, this ugly woman named Sadie called and said she's having my baby Go have mercy From my day of birth I've called hell on earth A number is all I am, ain't got no frills don't give a... If you don't got no pull, you've got to put up with a lot of bull This funky world is cold, I oughta flush myself down the... If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another If it ain't one thing it's another My friends, I wonder if it's ok if I talk to you this evening A long time ago my old grandmother bless her heart Used to sit me on her knee and pull out her Good Book And she said my son, my child, don't you ever get to grown, to famous, to rich to forget the man upstairs And she used to turn to Matthew chapter 24, and there the disciples would talking to the master And they said Lord tell us what will be the sign of your coming And the end to all this confusion on Earth And the Good Lord said, my children watch out that nobody deceive you For the last days, there'll be lots of tribulation, wars, and famines And earthquakes on different places on the Earth And there will be no understanding among the people of the Earth He said but as you see these things occurring Don't become too discouraged, just lift yours head up high Because your deliverance is getting nearer And he spoke about the proclamation about coming kingdom or government of god That will eventually take over this Earth and rule over the whole Earth And turning to Daniel chapter two And there Daniel describes that this kingdom won't be an earthly kingdom But it will be ruled by God Note in the book of Revelations it talks About how there will be a man who'll be Jesus And whose faithful 144, 000 who would bring all of mankind back to perfection Aw, somebody out there knows exactly what I'm talking about Isaiah, Isaiah, a long time ago said I see old people growing young again I see lame people running and leaping just like a gazelle And blind people will see again And we won't have to worry about our children going out to play at night They'll be able to play with a snake, brotherhood There'll be brotherhood and peace and tranquility on the earth Aw it makes me feel good when I read over in Revelations That it say God would wipe out every tear from my eyes Yeah that's in Revelations chapter 21 Why don't you pick up a Good Book and read all about it for yourselves And my friends I don't know if I'll ever see you again Life is certainly uncertain these days I'm sure you'll agree to that But keep dreaming the big dream Get down on your knees and ask the big guy in the sky for his spirit to sustain you And pray for me, I'll be praying for you |
