The Devil Ain't Got No Music
Lyrics
The devil ain't got no music
The devil lacks the essence of music
The devil ain't got no music
Emphasizes that the devil is devoid of music
He can't create only distort
The devil cannot create but only distort music
He can only use what came before
The devil can only manipulate existing music
The devil ain't got no music
Reiterates the devil's lack of ownership of music
It all belongs to the Lord
All music ultimately belongs to the Lord
The devil ain't got no music
Restates the devil's absence of music
The devil ain't got no music
Reaffirms the devil's lack of musical possession
Jesus is the eternal word
Jesus is portrayed as the eternal word of God
The sound by which the whole world was born
Jesus' sound is the creative force behind the world
The devil can't make he can only take
The devil can only exploit, not create
It all belongs to Lord
Reiterates that all music belongs to the Lord
God gave me a voice
God has given the singer a voice for joyful expression
To make a joyful noise
The singer's voice is meant for joyful noise
The devil can't do a thing
The devil is powerless against the singer's song
With the song I sing
Emphasizes the singer's immunity to the devil's influence
To the King of Kings
The joyful noise is dedicated to the King of Kings (God)
The devil ain't got no music
Reaffirms the devil's lack of musical possession
The devil ain't got no music
Highlights the contrast between the devil and the Lord
I don't care what you been told
Disregards contrary information, focusing on God's ownership
Selling fame and buying souls
Denounces the idea of selling fame and compromising souls
The devil ain't got no music
Reiterates the devil's lack of ownership of music
It all belongs to the Lord
All music is affirmed to be under the ownership of the Lord
I'm gonna sing about Jesus
Expresses the singer's intention to sing about Jesus
I'm gonna sing about Jesus
Reiterates the singer's dedication to singing about Jesus
Usher in that Holy Spirit
Desires the presence of the Holy Spirit in the singer's soul
Deep inside my soul
The Holy Spirit is sought deep inside the singer's soul
I'm gonna sing about Jesus
Reiterates the intention to sing about Jesus
Everywhere I go
Declares the singer's commitment to singing about Jesus everywhere
The devil ain't got no music
Reaffirms the devil's lack of musical possession
The devil ain't got no music
Emphasizes the contrast between the devil and the Lord
With blood and fire
Describes the singer's triumphant approach to music
And a swinging beat
Symbolic imagery of defeating the devil with music
I crush that serpent underneath my feet
Crushing the serpent signifies overcoming evil through song
The devil ain't got no music
Reiterates the devil's lack of ownership of music
It all belongs to the Lord
All music is affirmed to be under the ownership of the Lord
