(Talk to y'all, tell you a story, namsayin?)
(One, two, three, four)

[Verse 1]
She done worked a root, ooh-ooh
Done worked a root that will not be reversed
Yeah, no
Then I'll go on, go on
Go on my role in her play with no rehearsal, yeah

[Verse 2]
Said I left my mojo (Mojo)
Left my mojo in my favorite suit, huh
Yes I did, yeah
She left a stain
Left a dirty stain in my heart I can't refute
No, I can't, no, I can't

[Chorus]
She done worked a root, mm-mm
In the name of love and war (In the name of love) took my shield and sword (And sword)
From the pit of the bottom (Bottom), that knows no floor (Oh-oh-oh)
Like the rain to the dirt (Ah), from the vine to the wine (From the vine to the wine)
From the Alpha creation (Oh), 'til the end all time
Yeah, 'til the end of all time

[Verse 3]
Said I went, I said I went to the doctor (Said I went to the doctor, no, no, no)
The man told me there ain't nothin' wrong (Yeah, nothing wrong, yeah)
I said but I beg to differ (Huh)
I've been feelin' this pain for much too long (I've been feelin' pain much too long)
Oh, yeah (Oh)

[Verse 4]
(Thinkin' that my soul is empty)
I feel like my soul is empty
My blood is cold and I can't feel my legs (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I need someone to hold me, hold on
Bring me back to life before I'm dead (Bring me back 'fore I'm dead)
Oh, yeah

[Chorus]
She done worked a root, doo-doo
In the name of love and war, took my shield and sword
From the pit of the bottom (Huh), that knows no floor
Like the rain to the dirt, from the vine to the wine
From the Alpha creation 'til the end all time
