Nino Bless - God'll Cut You Down lyrics

rate me

Feat. Johnny Cash

[Chorus: Johnny Cash]

You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time, run on for a long time

Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

[Verse 1: Nino Bless]

To the cocaine pusher, rich flipping bricks

To the white-collar crooks to the pimps on the strip

To the fake pastors like Mase stealing from the plate

To the snake bastards out here squealing to save face

To the Vatican for changing the Sabbath day, that’s blasphemous

To human traffickers doing unhuman acts for chips

To this fascist brass taxing us

Building power plants in the ghetto to keep conditions hazardous

Live it up now but one day your day will come

You could even take your gun, trust me there’s no way to run

Know who you take it from then you try to close the gap

Is it too late now? Fucker there’s no going back

It’s as cold as that, now you in a cul-de-sac

Sleeping where the vultures at hoping that they don’t attack

Yet the high roll seems so low and no impact

But got em live souls and Satan never saw em babble

You don’t know what this is do you? It’s purgatory

I never searched for glory, why? Cause there’s a purpose for me

They want me thrown down thirty stories

To burn my words like the book of Mary written out the church’s story

Truth, blind faith, or designed fate

The fact is the fame of the capital with your mind state

Lord forgive this for I ain’t no different

The only difference is I ain’t so distant

[Chorus]

You can run on for a long time

Run on for a long time, run on for a long time

Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

Sooner or later God’ll cut you down

[Verse 2: Nino Bless]

Yo,

All the schemes and robberies I committed and honestly

I never once felt bad, I admit it’s hypocrisy

For my sense of modesty, I be talking like I’m a saint

At times I think I’m kinda late with my sins that I’m trying to face

Higher states where I relate, you moving through that lane fast

Tell you where you’re going cause I’m going down that same path

I lied to a girl, told her I was in the towers the day that the planes crashed just to get some lame ass

Lord forgive me for the women I’ve corrupted

Cheat em up and hustled em, moved on while they suffered

All the stuff that I’ve lusted over with no reluctance

Or the folks that I’ve let down and failed em when they trusted

Is this just for my justice or more readjustment?

Who there for me? Reverend said I don’t read enough script

Am I trying to sneak in Heaven with this fussing?

Is it end of discussion when the Devil’s interrupting?

Shh, realise now, too late cause my day has come

Praying till the day is done my sins never chase my son

May have taken lumps, bruises that ain’t healed yet

Still stressed, real pressed but never will my will rest

My wheel turns a little left, rebel in me still in check

Level with me with respect, the Devil in me’s feeling dead

Lord forgive this for I ain’t no different

The only difference is I ain’t so distant

[Chorus]

[Outro: Johnny Cash]

Go tell that long tongue liar, go and tell that midnight rider

Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter

Tell em that God’s gonna cut em down!

Tell em that God’s gonna cut em down!
