The Power of Love
Q-Tex Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it feels as though I’m losing my religion. Sometimes it feels as though I should make a confession.

Hands on the clock. Land on the battlefield, man on the block, hands on the glock. Shots in the spotlight. Slug to the chrome. Staying in your hotspot? Slug to the dome. Homebound, semi-automatic rounds. Slow down, semi-automatics down. Laced with the grace. Bass in your face. Reach for the stars. Space is the place. Heaven’s crew. Huh, you know how we do. Integrate mics Christlike 7Q. Interface midi check 2-1-2. Let’s have a Holy Ghost party, yup, 212. Word. Show your hands up. Throw your hands up. We gon’ get live, baby—show your hands up. And you know we’re gonna try to live it up until we die. See the way You make me feel, yo this can’t be real.

Sometimes it feels as though I’m losing my religion. Sometimes it feels as though I should make a confession.

Yeah! And it’s like dat. Gotta strike back. But despite that, we gotta back that Word. Represent that truth. And it’s like that. Represent the troops. And it’s like that. Biblical chips load up. Hold up. You still getting high? Man, grow up. This world’s system is designed to trick you, ditch you, trip you, even stick. Someone’s knockin’ on the door of your heart. Will you let Him in, or fall deeper in sin? Man, it’s la vida loca. These snakes bite like a cobra. I hope you watch your step. You still flirtin’ with death. But you just can’t see. He gave life its breath. It’s time to introspect everything from right to left. ‘Cause man, the end is near. Will you live as one of His people? People?
Sometimes it feels as though I’m losing my religion. Sometimes it feels as though I should make a confession.
