Temple
Verse 1
Acces denied to my temple, It’s got you going mental
This is not a rental
No barriers around it may seem gen-tle
But there’s danger of explosion go ahead call it a mento
Why you looking at it like you wanna oh
Solid out and tender inside like an oreo
Peaking through the gate no one’s home to say hello
Activate the alarms, not a surprise huh don’t fake that wow
What a complex, what a concept, a fine design
Foundations, modern and ancient stuck together like a spine
Pillars of emotions, columns of devotion well aligned
Check out the wall paper like vapor, its volatile at times
Refrain
(Turn up the base)
Its my T-E-M-P-L-E temple
If you want to come near be gentle
Its fundamental, fun
Cause it’s my temple
Verse 2
Before you step in, security check
My detectors will start beeping if you ain’t got enough respect
Full body control that’s just the opposite effect
But I can’t let you close to something so worthy and perfect
You know you don’t understand
The precious details of the plan
From the floor to all that hangs
Complete like ying and yang
As classy as a mustang
Coloured cooked merengue
Tainted windows never blank
To discover if you can
It’s like a mixture of stardust and colours
Underseen mosaic of all plenty different cultures
Hand made and carved, like the universal wonders
The power nature’s given me will hit you like its thunder
Refrain
(Turn up the base)
Its my T-E-M-P-L-E temple
If you want to come near be gentle
Its fundamental, fun
Cause it’s my temple
Verse 3
I’m super sassy
But you can’t pass me
I’m well engraved but it don’t mean that you will catch me
You may be classy
And still don’t match me
Burst your bubble, not humble won't scratch me
Why you staring at me like I want some more
Treasure island, deep see waters, I’m not at the shore
Keep on walking I’m for sure not what you’re looking for
My body is a temple so don’t treat it like a store
Not over the top, oh no I ain’t gotta stop
For centuries my body was treated like a please of cloth
To be used, reused and dropped
You say you’re the biggest G but can’t seem to find the spot Exaggeration this is not
Refrain
(Turn up the base)
Its my T-E-M-P-L-E temple
If you want to come near be gentle
Its fundamental, fun
Cause it’s my temple
