Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They call me white Devil, black Jesus, heaven closin', hell freezin'
Egos trippin', scripts keep flippin'
Bloods keep bloodin', Crips keep crippin'
Time keeps slippin' and I keep fallin'
I can't see but I hear them callin'
Ballers ballin', players playin', haters fightin', righteous payin'
Dawn breakin', I can keep makin'
Brooklyn keep takin', shook ones keep shakin'
No time for fakin', not mean
I ain’t choppin no pies, just risin' like cream
And if you diggin' the scene, you feelin' the vibes
Throw your hands in the air, scream out you're alive
[Verse 2]
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 3]
They call me black Jesus, white Moses, heaven freezin', hell closin'
B-boy poses, punk rock chicks
The kids are alright but I need my fix
If you dig in the mix, feelin' the drugs
If you keepin' it real, if you livin' like thugs
I spit kisses and hugs like .45 slugs
Come back on the one and kiss my love-gun
Got a look that'll kill, voice that'll carry
Half a dozen women that I think I wanna marry
Got trouble on my mind, I'm refusin' to lose
And still I gotta find me someone to abuse
So won't you go run, spread the news, help say the word
You jump the fuck back and just act like you heard
[Verse 4]
They call me white Devil, black Jesus, heaven closin', hell freezin'
Black Jesus, white Moses, heaven freezes, hell closes
[Verse 5]
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' (Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, shoo-bee do, whoa)
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
[Verse 6]
They call me white sinner, black martyr, live-wire, fire-starter
Jungle brother, redneck cracker, freak of nature, new world slacker
Sex junkie lookin' for a dealer
You could play the leper girl, and I could play the healer
Shit is only gettin' realer baby, haven't you heard?
That the bird, bird, bird yes, the bird is the word
It go one for the troubled, two for the times
Three for my homies and four for the dimes
Singin' lemons to the limes to the break of dawn
Excuse me, Everlast, you're on
And it go on and on like a rollin' stone
Baby, anywhere I lay my hat is my home
[Verse 7]
They call me white Devil, black Jesus, heaven closes, hell freezes
Black Jesus, white Moses, heaven freezes, hell closes
[Verse 8]
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
[Verse 9]
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
Singin' na, na, na, na, na, na, singin' na, na, na, na, na, na
