Devotion
Nomad (Electronic) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to give you devotion, I want to give you devotion
I want to give you devotion, hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...
I want to give you devotion

I want to give you a place to release your feelings, a star beat rhythm with a standard meaning
A word and a message with a lot of emotion, with total dedication and a lot of devotion
And a lot of devotion, I want to give you devotion
Well let's start here at the beginning of my lyric, to be too bad to rhyme is not a merit
To rock to roll for soul is what I aim for, wait till I hit the goal and that's a top score
Some tunes are long others with an ease, to write my rhyme in line when there's a cool breeze
Keepin' on and on and on and on till you get the job son, job's nearly done

Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...
I want to give you devotion, I want to give you devotion
Total dedication and a lot of devotion, hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...

Well magical moments, moments are magical, star call, mystical, logical, lyrical
Magical moments are meant to be kept, don't erase them from your brain I need to inject
I have a dream, but there's a nightmare inside, it's getting me uptight for the sight is a fright
'Cause the night creeps in, creepin', creepin', slowly gassin', frightnin', spooky
'Cause a frightnin' nightmare can terrorize, poll tax came and up went the rise
Open your eyes and realize I'm a truly disguise, like hawk the slayer he came and caught me
Maggie came but now she's slaughtered

I want to give you devotion
So don't use abuse or lose you're like flotex, rock the mike to the disc and don't get upset




Rhyme in time to the finest quality, that's the time when you know that you're a MC
M I K double E, takin' it down now

Lyrics:
I wanna give you devotion
I wanna give you devotion
I wanna give you devotion
Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...
I wanna give you devotion

I wanna give you the beats to release your feelings,
A starbeat rhythm with a standard healing
A word and a message with a lot of emotion,
With total dedication and a lot of devotion
And a lot of devotion,
I wanna give you devotion

Well let's start here at the beginning of my lyric,
To be too bad to rhyme is not a merit
To rock to roll to soul is what I aim for,
Wait till I hit the goal and that's a top score
Some diss along others with an ease,
To write my rhyme in line in this a cool breeze
Keepin' on and on and on and on to get the justice
In the job that we have done

Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...
I wanna give you devotion
I wanna give you devotion
Total dedication and a lot of devotion,
Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...

Well magical moments, moments are magical,
Historical, mythological, lyrical

Magical moments are meant to be kept,
Don't erase them from your brain I need to eject
I have a dream, but there's a nightmare inside,
It's getting me uptight for the sight is a fright
'Cause the night creeps in, creepin', creepin',
Slowly gassin', frightnin', spooky
'Cause a frightnin' nightmare can terrorise,
Poll tax came and up went the rise
Open your eyes and realise I'm a true disguise,
Like hawk the slayer he came and quartered
Maggie came but now she's slaughtered

I wanna give you devotion
So don't use abuse or lose you're like flotex,
Rock the mike to the disc and don't get upset
Rhyme in time to the finest quality,
That's the time when you know that you're a MC
M I K double E,
Takin' it down now Mikee
M I K double E,
I wanna give you devotion

You got to
Takin' it down and takin' it down and takin' it down Mikee
Takin' it down and takin' it down and takin' it down Mikee
Takin' it down and takin' it down and takin' it down Mikee, Mikee
Takin' it down and takin' it down, Mikee
(Hooh-hooh-ooh-Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...)
M I K double, double E
I wanna give you devotion

I wanna give you devotion,
I wanna give you devotion
Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...

Why don't you come follow me, come follow me,
Come for me, come for me now
Are you confident enough, ladies
Or am I singin' it for the sound, for the sound for me
Why don't you come for me,
Why don't you come for me
Come for me, come for me, because I
I'm an entertainer, I'm an entertainer, come for me
I'm an entertainer, I'm an entertainer,
I'm an entertainer, I'm an entertainer
Come for me, I'm an entertainer,
I'm an entertainer
Some of the lyrics, some of the lyrics
Are black some are the heart attack
Well some of the lyrics,
Some are fast and some are like that
The best of them, best of them, some of them might be easy,
Come to the microphone
I'm just another cool breeze,
I'm just another cool breeze
Hooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-hooh-ooh-ooh...

I wanna give you the beats to release your feelings,
A starbeat rhythm with a standard healing
A word with a message with a lot of emotion,
With total dedication and a lot of devotion
