Satan had deceived me. But God has now revealed to me the truth of who I am. So now, I'm going to the enemy's camp and taking back what he stole from me.James 4:7, Eph 6:11 - 18 |

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
