So needless you tried no you won't catch me
I am a god bless tell them my friend
Needless you tried no you won't suceed
Stay there and set up all you plans
Laugh with me in the face then stab at me in the back
But Your conscious soon start ride you am giving your time
Digging one pit remember to dig two
I am a god bless tell them my friend
So needless you tried no you won't catch me
I am a god bless tell them my friend
Needless you tried no you won't suceed cause
The longest liver will see the most
I know my house is build on solid ground
So when the wind him it wont come tumbling down
And when the tide rolled I will be riding the storm
The longest liver will see the most
So I know my house is built on solid ground
For I am a god bless tell them my friend
So needless you tried no you won't catch me
I am a god bless tell them my friend
Needless you tried no you won't suceed ...
The Gladiators' song "God Bless" is about the power and protection of blessings from God. The song begins with the singer declaring that he is a "god bless," meaning that he has been blessed by God and is therefore untouchable by those who might try to harm him. He tells his enemies that they will not catch him or succeed in their attempts to do him harm.
The following verses deal with the idea that those who plot against others will eventually suffer the consequences of their actions. The singer warns those who laugh and plot against him, saying that their conscience will soon start to ride them. He reminds them that "who god bless he said no man shall curse," meaning that those who are blessed by God are protected from the curses of others. He advises them to remember that if they dig one pit, they should dig two, indicating that their plans will ultimately backfire on them.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is a god bless and cannot be caught or defeated by anyone. He asserts that the longest liver will see the most, meaning that those who live the longest will see how things eventually play out and that he knows his house is built on solid ground, which means that he is secure in his position and cannot be moved. The final line of the song repeats the idea that those who try to harm him will not succeed.
Overall, "God Bless" is a song about the power of blessings from God and the protection that they provide to those who receive them. It warns those who plot against others that their actions will ultimately lead to their own downfall and that those who are blessed by God cannot be defeated.
