MAY - DECKING STEPS
"Face facts its your decision.
Ya don't need eyes to see y'need vision.
Continue to view the Lord as bein seperated.
An you're living a lie that's been perpetrated.
For many centuries I wanna mention these words in my rap.
I don't sing
But I wanna share the peace that it brings."

MAY - THE MAIN DECK
"Money, success an untold wealth, good health.
An all you hafta do is love yourself.
It's a fact that you'll attract all the things thatcha lack.
So take a pace back"

MAY - THE THEMED GARDENS
"The Lord is in here, his voice is small.
Y' keep lying and tryin, denying the call from inside.
You can't hide responsibility.
So decide from today just how its gonna be.
Thou shalt have no other god but me.
He can set ya free, see, butcha hafta listen.
An who's that false idol I see ya kissin."

"If I say God is alive I know you'll wanna know why babies die.
Food don't grow. Why trains smash, planes crash.
Situation mash and slam-bam your fellow man.
Money's in fashion. It ain't rational because dammit.
He didn't just give us the planet and its wealth.
Deep inside your soul he left a piece of himself."

MAY - THE MAIN DECK
"Competition start swearing ya, goldiggers setting you up.
Soon be forgetting your existance.
Do you need a for instance?
I hafta admire your persistance in stickin to a game plan.
That brings you pain man.
And at the end of the day nothing is gained.
Listen to the voice within. I'll see ya later.
Pay heed to the grand oral disseminator"

MAY - THE BUDDHA POOL
"I'm cool. I'm looking after myself.
An I would never place wealth before my spirit.
I feel it's unhealthy, the devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy.
Till ya get bold, rush the gold an before ya time is over.
Ya soul is sold, where's it gettin' ya?"
