You've Got To Belong To It Lyrics
Build an inner door, drop and then explore
You smoke your head on straight, then drink
Your woes away
Some might not understand possession that's beyond your head
(chorus) You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you got to belong to it
So the music is your friend
Well it's the roof above my head
So seriously I take the will that never breaks
Some might not understand, the possession that controls your hands
(chorus)x2
It's power and sin
And then you've got whisky and smoke
And it's all a man could need, to plant the perfect seed
To disembody me
Making more like you and me
(chorus)
You smoke your head on straight, then drink
Your woes away
Some might not understand possession that's beyond your head
(chorus) You recognize it, while some ignore it
Avoid the masses, you got to belong to it
Well it's the roof above my head
So seriously I take the will that never breaks
Some might not understand, the possession that controls your hands
(chorus)x2
And then you've got whisky and smoke
And it's all a man could need, to plant the perfect seed
To disembody me
Making more like you and me
(chorus)

Only one comment? wow
This song is no bullshit - Hes singing about metal, and that its like being in a select group "youve got to belong to it" and about drinking smoking an playing metal.
'youve got to belong to it' to understand it. best quote in the world.
the solo sounds alot like bonhams solo in moby dick. vinnie is probably the best drummer alive.
It means phil is the MAN, he doesn't beat around the bush, and he goes 'BUILD AN INNER DOOOOOOR, DROP AND THEN EXPLOREEEE' damn this song rocks me so hard in the left pupil! This album is miles above a lot of things, dunno why it's overlooked by so many Pantera fans!!!?!
Oh and don't forget 'WHISKKKKAAAYYYEEEYAAAYYEEEAAAAYYYYYYY'. I can just imagine Phil sitting in some dark room smoking a crapload of weed and hammering back a bottle of whisky whilst having a really big beard...
Okay first one to post a real reflection on this song anyways this song is a about how you just can't just play heavy metal you have to BE heavy metal it's not just a genre of music it's a lifestyle you've got to live by it, you've got to work with it, you've got to become it, YOU'VE GOT TO BELONG TO IT!!. (damn I'm good)
