Oh yeah,
Word up and what it look like,
Stepping out the old, straight into the new,
My boys Tedd And Drac put together these dope tracks, so we can keep that funk going on, you know what I'm saying'
So let's get this party started right,
Yo, Prof, come out on them, baby.

I paid my tithes, did what I had to do,
I walk the aisle, and with my wife I said, "I do,'
But there as something that changed the love between two,
And that leads my to this question I want to ask you: why you won't serve the Lord.

Why you won't, why you won't, why you won't,
Why you won't serve the Lord,
Why you won't, why you won't, why you won't,
Why you won't serve the Lord. (come on fellas, help me)

Oh yeah, oh,
What's up, my man, Ben Reges'
What's up, Absolam'
Hey man, what you got going on over here, baby'
Yo, man, we still got that funk going on right about now,
And, about this time, Prophet - he's gonna step up to the mic with that second verse,
And, Prof, come easy.

I knew this friend that helped me to conquer sin; when I turned my back, he tried to do me in,
Can't understand why we have to play these games when we can overcome through the blood and Jesus' name.

Why not serve'
No nerve, you should have kept up,
Pull off your grave clothes, then kick in the pep up,
Like Peter and Paul perked up for the prince, and did walk worthy of the ministry they mentioned,
But no dissension, the brethren were in unity,
Preaching the good news to those in the community,
Rah! Rah! Cheer on, you got the word,
And if you don't follow Christ, Absolam cure the blurb,
Tell me, why, oh, why won't you pay attention'
Portent things that we've got to mention,
Living a lie, you come with dissention,
Repent from sin or Hell's your pension,
Lynch mob, they'll string you up,
And keep doing it...doing it again, 'cause in Hell you cannot die,
Time's running out for you - to play, you can't afford,
So, why don't you serve the Lord'
Why you won't serve the Lord.

Why you won't, why you won't, why you won't,
Why you won't serve the Lord,
Why you won't, why you won't, why you won't,
Why you won't serve the Lord.

I don't know what can do,
Why you won't serve the Lord,
I don't understand the law,
Why you won't serve the Lord,
I don't know what can do,
Why you won't serve the Lord,
I come to clap my hands, I come to clap my hands,
