lyrics

Slide

Sweet soul sister from the beat temple choir

Sang acapella with her voice on fire

Sang about a man sin and desire

Wanting something bad don’t make me a liar

I wanted something good to cook in my fryer

You poured your holy water on top of my fire

Ah uh ah uh ah uh that just ain’t right

Ah uh ah uh ah uh life is for living in living we’re forgiving

Forgiving we’re forgetting so forget it I can’t let it

Slide Slide Slide
I can’t let it
Slide Slide Slide

The heavyset lady she was mad as hell

You could see it in her eyes under a spell

Dark black stones set into white

Like a mad man trying to sleep under the light

Tossing and turning till the tears came out

We believe in the gospel I could hear her shout

Ah uh ah uh ah uh that just ain’t right

Ah uh ah uh ah uh life is for living in living we’re forgiving

Forgiving we’re forgetting so forget it I can’t let it

Slide Slide Slide
I can’t let it
Slide Slide Slide

Let’s bring our hands together people, and we’ll clap till the morning light

If they knock down our door cause their ears are sore we’ll say welcome to the light

But if you see my man my bad bad man who we know has been out all night

Throw him back in the dark you can bet he’ll bark but it’s better than his bite

Ah uh ah uh ah uh that just ain’t right

Ah uh ah uh ah uh life is for living in living we’re forgiving

Forgiving we’re forgetting so forget it I can’t let it

Slide Slide Slide
I can’t let it
Slide Slide Slide, I can’t let it
