Oh lord have mercy on my soul
I cannot help but think
I fell in love with rock n' roll
Oh lord send your mercy from above it seems
I found some lovin' and her name is rub-a-dub

I've got a woman love her body and her mind
I love her from the front and I love her from behind
I love her when I'm low I love her when I'm high
I love her in the morning and I love her late at night
I love it when she's wrong she loves it when I'm right
I keep a little lovin' in my pocket all the time
I love to bring her flowers she loves to bring me pain
That's why it seems this loving lord is driving me insane

Oh lord have mercy on my soul
I cannot help but think
I fell in love with rock n' roll
Oh lord send your mercy from above it seems
I found some lovin' and her name is rub-a-dub

And it's amazing to see this love evolve this mystery's a problem
That I never want to solve and strong is my resolve
I'm leaned up against your wall I've stumbled once or twice
In love but now I'm sure to fall so many voices
That I've already heard but yours is one I long for
And I'm waiting for your word long is the season
And wide is the seas lonely is my sickness come
And cleanse this disease

Oh lord have mercy on my soul
I cannot help but think I fell in love with rock n' roll
Oh lord send your mercy from above it seems
I found some lovin' and her name is rub-a-dub

It all started off when I was living at home I got fed up with life
So I decided to roam I crossed the country to chicago
Where the wind blows cold found hip hop culture
And it healed my soul rockin' mics every night
From dawn to twilight insight underneath
The southside streetlights b-boying deejaying
And the finest spray painting it's the style
We was bringin' with our style of living
But after several years in chi it finally crossed my mind
I had to see the world and couldn't waste no time so
I maneuvered down to cuba where
I met this queen the most beautiful street poet
I had ever seen she had curly hair
And radiant skin so golden it was kind of like the dawn
When the sun's unfolding but her beauty
Most profoundly expressed in her poetry fragment of her soul
And reflections of a history we first met over breakbeat
In old havana streets revolution like the words that she speaks
I learned wisdom in a rhythm instead of skepticism
She brings hip hop livin' amidst crumbling socialism
Its hip hop y'all and the queen that
I love but their one in the same so
I can't get enough we're separated segregated
By this government bluff but we'll never give up because we're
So deep in love

Oh lord have mercy on my soul
I cannot help but think
I fell in love with rock n' roll
Oh lord send your mercy from above
It seems I found some lovin' and her name is rub-a-dub
