Saint Etienne: "Filthy" Lyrics

Hello? / [laughs] / Hello? 

Rhyming as I'm coming to the top, / with my back-pack of rhymes I won't stop. / 

Every lyric / flying high like a dove / as the Lord / sprinkles His love / 

on me. / His assigned destiny, / teaching, preaching, c'mon / question me! / 

I have the answer to the master-plan. / If you can't, / then I can. / 

Jumping the chitz(?) as I speak out, / wondering what it's all about, / 

wishing I was only a dream / and I wasn't so extreme. / 

Gonna make you see I'm not faking it / like all the others that be making it. / 

Ecstatic, and stating the facts; / take heed to my extracts. / 

Following the paths of me, / eat 'til you fill your greed. / 

Feeding on my knowledge like a cake, / the smell of truth as I bake. / 

Some goals / you will achieve; / no loss or debt to believe; / 

believe me, I wouldn't lie, / for my question / I need your reply. / 

Whatever / you take from me, / 

whatever / you say, / 

I try / to make you see / 

things / my way. / 

Touch me, / take my hand. / 

Hold on tight. / as tight as you can. / 

I'll be with you / all the way. / 

I'm asking you / won't you stay? / 

It's your reality. / 

Durbba durbba duhr, / 

badurbba durbba duhr, / 

badurbba durbba duhr, / 

badurbba durbba duhr. / 

Earning respect from the crowd / as expression of my meaning comes loud, / 

bringing it all across / so as you know who's boss. / 

This is not a media hype - / maybe I'm just not that type. / 

My rhymes that'll lift you like a drug, / like a mat, I'll be your rug. / 

Whatever / that you say, / 

I'll never / turn you away. / 

You don't know me / as you are, / 

my mind is / what you have caught. / 

Touch me, / take my hand. / 

Hold on tight, / as tight as you can, / 

I'll be with you / all the way. / 

I'm asking you / won't you stay? / 

It's your reality. / 

Durbba durbba duhr, / 

badurbba durbba duhr, / 

badurbba durbba duhr, / 

badurbba durbba duhr.
