Rev Run – The Way lyrics
I got a way with my lady

I got a way with my lady and a way with the wino
Preachin' like a preacher, healin' people with the vinyl
Word to the spirit like I'm preachin' from the Bible

And this is the way, we rock the house

Now I'm preachin' for the addict in the attic gettin' stoned
And reachin' for the stripper 'cause she run away from home
I'm prayin' for the sister and the nigga on the phone
Who said, he'll pull the trigger if he never get a loan

I'm preachin' for your momma and your poppa in the pew
I'm prayin' for the sucker 'cause he lookin' like you
I'm prayin' for the dude who think his money is his God
Who 'bout to lose his mind 'cause he 'bout to lose his job

And this is the way, I'm 'bout to lose my mind

I got a way with my lady and a way with the wino
Preachin' like a preacher, healin' people with the vinyl
Word to the spirit like I'm preachin' from the Bible

And this is the way, we rock the house

Now I'm preachin' for the people who ain't never gettin' paid
The suckers gettin' suckered who be slavin' for a wage
The drug addicted brother 'cause he think he got it made
Who never took a drug but yet he needed to get paid

I'm prayin' for the mother who just had a kid at 12
Who gotta feed her baby but can barely feed herself
I'm seein' for the people who just need it 'cause they blind
Who 'bout to lose control 'cause they 'bout to lose their mind

And this is the way, I'm 'bout to lose my mind

I got a way with my lady and a way with the wino
Preachin' like a preacher, healin' people with the vinyl
Word to the spirit like I'm preachin' from the Bible

Okay, now start
