    Story Behind the Song
    Okay, I really like this song too! This is where I got to flex some of my rhyming skills (Shaolin representin'). Some people have been thrown off because they expect to hear a West Indian voice on top of the Reggae-styled beat. But in NY where I grew up MC's used to rap to Reggae beats all the time (KRS-One practically built his career on it). Anyway, I love to see the people jammin to this in the Christian Clubs (What! What! What!) It's mad satisfying.

    Lyrics
    Give it Back

    written by Deuce
    copyright 1999


    You thought that I was down

    You thought you had me fooled

    You never ever counted on this Christian getting schooled

    But now I know, quite a bit more than I knew a few years ago

    Listening to gospel music playing on the radio

    Checking out these preachers who be teachin in their video

    Talking to my pastor after hours and yo know I know

    God had a plan for me all my life

    And he was there in the midst of the strife

    And yes I thought the whole world was against me

    But now I know that there was only one enemy - You!

    Ha! When I think of it - What! It makes me mad - Umm!

    When I realize - Ahh! What I could have had - Ooh!

    But I can't go back - NO! And I don't want to

    But what I want, is a few thing from you

    Chorus

    Every single thing that you stole from - Give it Back!

    Everything that you tried to hold from me - Give it Back!

    Give it Back - Give it Back!, Give it Back - Give it Back!

    I ain't playing Devil man I'm serious - Gimme Dat!

    [repeat]

    I want the innocence I lost when I was a child

    I want the joy that had given me my younger smile

    I want to trust again, I want to love again

    I want the respect that I used to have for other men

    I want the self-esteem that I seen before

    Man I fiend for the gift to dream and still that not all

    I want everything God has for me, Physical & Mental Health

    Everything He promised me, Including financial wealth

    I - wanna wife- and a house - with a lawn

    and some kids - who have faith - and are smart - and are strong

    And though I've - never seen - that in all my life

    I know I serve a God with all power and might

    That's right I see the light, no more will it be night

    And you and all your lies, can catch the next flight

    Uup! before you leave, just one thing if you please

    I do believe you got some things that do belong to me. Ha!

    Chorus [2x]

    I want the health that you took trying to keep me sick

    I want the friends I never had even though my crew ran thick

    I want the job I didn't get because my skin was dark

    I want that business that you told me that I couldn't start

    I want it all and I will not settle for less

    Because my Lord, He told me that I could be the best

    So I will press on, shoot straight, aim high

    Knowing the Master died just to give me life

    And I know you gonna do what you do

    Try to rob, murder, steal, lie kill ain't nothing new

    Same old tricks from you and your crew

    So Let me tell you something that you ought to listen to

    Ain't no weapon that you form gonna prosper

    Ain't no weapon that you form gonna work

    Ain't no weapon that you form gonna prosper

    You might as well throw your weapons in the dirt!

    [repeat]

    Chorus

    Chant

    You can not stop me - What!

    You can not stop me - Who!

    You can not stop me - What!

    You can not stop me - Ooh!

    repeat [4x]

    Chorus
