The Gotee Brothers
"Wages Of Sin"

Wipe it up
Wipe it away
Wipe it down

Hate abounds
When you look around
The birds flew the coop
As the darkness drew
The race we're in
Is about to get its due

I'm just sitting
In this shell of mine
Look through holes
Wondering what's on the inside

A mental vacancy
Too much complacency
And laughing at the past
Ain't the cure for me

Trying to get some want
Some peace
Looking for balance
A little harmony

So ante up my friend
We've been dealt a hand
It's the time we paid the price
For the wages of sin

Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin
(Wages of sin, wages of sin)

Wipe it up
Wipe it away
Wipe it down

Nothing's found
Till the truth is found
Looking for paths
Beyond this lunacy
I burned my hand
While touching history

Never can agree
Always disagree
Our heads are full of waste
A mental eulogy

So now we paid the price
From our father's dice
Wouldn't do the things they did
But now I wear their vice

You gotta reel it in
'Cause the hook is in
Clearing out the space
Where the mind has been

Roaming through the zone
Sometimes all alone
When my skully gets full
Then my dome gets blown

Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin

Don't be surprised
By the cries
The look of angry eyes
No matter how white
A lie is still a lie

Hereditary, sorta scary
But something I was born with
Being raised south of the Mason-Dixon line
Is sometimes hard to admit

'Cause I'm into hip hop
When DJ Scott LaRock died
I cried an eyeful

But the long and the short
Is my skin is white
So my people say I ain't right

Now I turn to the brothers
Who said I'm the other man
Stuck in the middle again
A middle class WASP into hip hop
The unforgivable sin

Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin

(Tsk, tsk, tsk)
Let your mind rewind back the time
Hit the button erace

(Wages of sin, wages of sin)

Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin my friend
Tsk, tsk, the wages of sin
The wages of sin
