Tell the Devil Ha!

[Intro]

Be strong, be strong

You must tell the devil huh, you must tell the devil ha

You must tell these devils, word

You got to tell a devil huh, just tell a devil ha

Word, what? Ha-ha

You must tell the devil huh, haha

Be strong, word

Stand on the rock (Stand up on the rock)

[Verse 1]

When the devil got your soul, and you ain't got control

You know you born again, but you feel like you old

Put your mind on Christ, put your mind on Kris

For everlasting life, you must listen to this

Now you could get with this, or you can get with that

I think you'll go with this, yo, Christians, where you at?

Oh, yes, it's KRS, with Church of the Harvest

With Clarence McClendon, hip-hop's winning evangelist

And then there's Hezekiah, his choir brings the fire

He's takin it higher (Tell 'em), the devil is a liar

I know you thinkin' 'bout that Y2K

And I see this fear that makes you lose your way

But we got somethin' that is bigger than bets

And we stand upon the rock that cannot break

Through millenniums, don't you think we been here before?

Through millenniums, God has always opened the door, word

[Chorus]

You must tell the devil huh, you must tell the devil hah

You got to tell the devil, ahh, ha-ha

You must tell the devil huh, you must tell the devil hah

Word, word up, ahh, ha-ha

Word, huh, ha

Ahh, ha-ha

[Post-Chorus]

Be strong (Be strong), be strong

Be strong, word

Be strong (Be strong), be strong

Endure, endure, yo

[Verse Two]

If all you got is money and the little things you wear

You worry 'bout your car note, you worry 'bout your hair

Then you ain't got no faith, and you must live in fear

Now listen to me people, and listen to me clear

So like I was just sayin', I think it's time for prayin'

Don't put your trust in Satan, it's Christ you put your faith in

You minimize your hatin', and stop your hesitatin'

It's faith that keeps you movin', so do not be mistaken

[Chorus]

You must tell the devil huh, you must tell the devil ha

You must to tell the devil, word, ahh, ha-ha, word

You got to tell the devil huh, uh, tell the devil ha

You got to tell the devil, word, ahh, ha-ha, word

You must tell the devil huh, you must tell the devil ha

Word, tell that devil, word, ahh, ha-ha, wo-word

You must tell the devil huh, uh, ha, uh-huh, yo

Ahh, ha-ha, yo

[Verse Three]

Now you listen to these lyrics, they speakin' to your spirit

You shiver when you hear it, but some just cannot bear it

But when you get up near it, there's no need that you fear it

It's KRS O-N-E, you know me, hip-hop be spirit

So you tell the devil huh, tell that devil ha

Tell that devil huh, tell that devil ha

You must tell the devil huh, tell that devil hah

Get out of my life, change your life, word

[Outro]

Be strong, be strong (Strong, strong)

Be strong, be strong (Strong, strong)

Stand up on the rock
