Who Do U Worship? Lyrics

[RONALD CHEVALIER]
Ah! What a beautiful day in the concrete jungle. I think I'll go down to Calliope and just be a fucking dickhead!

[death metal interlude]

Damn, I feel good today. I look forward to going in and just beating the shit out of somebody and taking their money. What a fucking great job I have

[death metal interlude]

I wonder why I feel so good. Could it be the music? Could it be my breakfast? Or could it just be the fact that I just hate everybody. Damn it, it has to be that

Life is grand, life is great. I need myself a real cheap date. Some woman I can take to McDonald's, spend a dollar twenty-five on and have, like, the best time of your life with afterwards. Life is too good to believe sometimes. But we all can't have it the way I do. So to all you suckers out there, kiss off. All right? Bye bye

[death metal interlude]

About

Genius Annotation

This track from de la soul is dead sees the trio at its most erratic and eccentric ever. There is no rapping on this track and the beat suddenly switches from solemn to death metal and then back. Yet the song just like many on this album has its appeal. The tracks meaning can be deciphered from its title Who Do You Worship. In the hood there are davids and Goliaths and this track shows us one goliath who is determined to bring his wrath in the concrete jungle where the fittest still rule. The question here that this track asks outside of the death metal and oddity is simple in a jungle of poverty and brute force do you stand up for the weak voice of peace or the fervent voice of violence.
