lyrics

Well I’m Dirty in the eyes of a holy priest,
He say don’t you tempt that beast.
Or it will turn you sin.
Towards the innocence son,
you must walk out and not in.
Chorus: I say you didn’t raise me priest!

You ain’t nothin but a child, not even a man!

your face is green and your mind is black,
Brotha watch yo back! Go ahead,
Build your tower over me,
I’ll be cutting it down, you see?
I’ll turn my hand to the baron
before I listen to you Aaron!

Na na na na na

How bout that Rita, she was your care!
With all your righteous vision,
you gave her to the glare.
Now theres a life at hand,
Worship the game and not the band!

No I won’t tell you, how to be
so don’t be preaching on down at me.
No I shan't say it instigator, you make your move and I’ll make mine later!!

Na, na, na, na na
