I been rap tap tappin at the devil's door
I've never been too good
But now- a knocking at my door?
Oh no! i ain't got time for you!
Row! i wish i woulda been told- i'd offended god
I would have been much more careful- but the damage can't be undone
I've enjoyed myself- well isn't that a shock
Now they are breaking down my door and i'm
Worried about what the devil's in store for me
Had a vision of a cross impaling my throat- oh wow! such power!
Now they got me on the floor, i'm lookin' at a shoe
But what did i do? open your eyes it's time now
They finally figured it out!
All i gotta do is
ROW! you must obey your master
ROW! your bones are breaking while you
ROW! we should be going faster
ROW! the whip will crack your back now
Row! 10 years ago today- every one of us became a slave
But now we don't mind- we just wanna see the galley go
To sit back and watch the show- but the show is
Made of us and i'm worried about (i'm worried about)-
What the future holds for me
Row! chain me to the bow
Take away my phone
Flagellate my soul
Nowhere left to go
Screaming in pain they cry for home-
But there's nowhere to go and nothin to do
But row row row, row row row
We're rowin' nowhere fast and god is
On the wind- but i can't feel the wind
So row row row, row row row
2 thousand years of slaughter and
We only just begun- what a ball of fun
Row row row, row row row
We never said that we would row-
But now we're chained from stern to bow
Now row row row, row row row
Nothing left to do but
ROW! you must obey your master
ROW! your bones are breaking while you
ROW! we should be going faster
ROW! the whip will crack your back now
ROW! and everything you thought was true
ROW! and now you're sittin' on the cemetary stone
ROW! (you) can't move
I never said that i would row
It didn't matter
