Meshell Ndegocello Better By The Pound Lyrics

Better By The Pound Lyrics

Pleasure is the motivation 

For the human race 

Everything starts
and ends with sex 

And appeal 

Feeling good is the bait 

They
use to fish for you and me 

Comfort is the poison 

It's your spirit
they want to kill 



There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-age generation 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky 



There is such a need 

To get nice


And feel nice 

And i need it more than i ought to 

I said 

My preacher keeps promisin' satisfaction 

The ladies keep giving up the
gratifaction 

You know what? 

I'm feeling better 

By the pound




There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our
space-age generation 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky


Take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 



I'm feeling
better by the pound 

By the pound 



Come on mother earth, 

Come here let it speak to you 

I say 

Come on brother earth, 

Come here let it speak through you... 

Come on, and fly 



There's a tidal wave of mysticism 

Surging through our space-age
generation 

Try to take your mind, yeah 

And it's all designed 

To take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky 

Take you to the sky




I'm feeling better by the pound 

Yeah 



Hit my
knees, 

And stop wanting for the world 

I gotta hit my knees, 

And stop wanting for the world 

Yeah 

Satisfaction, gratifaction


Ain't got no reaction, 

To the politricks 

And stop wanting
for the world 

Gotta hit your knees, 

And stop wanting for the
world 

Yeah 

Satisfaction 

Gratifaction 

Ain't got no
reaction, to
