K N E E L I N at my altar
The inside world gets me prepared for the outside
I can't wake up on the wrong side of the bed
Oh from there it's diggity diggity done
My African name hasn't been revealed yet
K N E E L I N at my altar
I got to kneel at my altar
As long as my soul has been fine tuned and lubed and
K N E E L I N at my altar
Instead of being grouchy I'm a natural charmer
Or compromising my views and pride
Kneelin' at my altar, yes
In the morning time
Cool vibes and disciplined enough to go outside
And by the way my real name is Todd
As long as the bending keeps me from bending
There's still fumes in a no smoking section of a room
Images are burnt into our brain cells to the extent
On my case in this worldly rat race
I've rinsed my senses and armor allied my armor
Simply put one is naive if they believe
That is those that knew me as that
Forces are tugging at you from both sides
K N E E L I N at my altar
My knees don't mind the bendin'
And there's stops that drop from Cali to N.Y.
Altars are cool for my inner urge to resume
To be centered, I pray and pour libation
To the universe SMPTE tone or metronome
Kneelin' at my altar
Chilin' with my friends to relatively no end
That this system does not deceive its
That's how my dead ancestors address me
And don't you know it's gotta be like that
To keep the pace, I depend on ancestors and god
And oh my Lord, I'm feelin' exuberated
Kneelin' at my altar
Populous dropping us lies in a sack like a stork
