Lifting me up like a garage door
I need to feel it when the drug starts coming on
I know you Lord are a jealous lord
I know the tablet is your competition
And I need for you to be reasonable
How much? She said for three hundred dollars I'll do it
Beating me down just like a rain storm
I need to feel it when the rain starts coming on
I know the skin is a jealous skin
I know the sky it is its competition
I need to feel it when the drug starts coming on
I know you Lord are a jealous lord
I know the tablet is your competition
And I need for you to be reasonable
How much? She said for three hundred dollars I'll do it
Beating me down just like a rain storm
I need to feel it when the rain starts coming on
I know the skin is a jealous skin
I know the sky it is its competition

Not competition. Competition doesn't make any sense given that I think he's referring to the tablets that the ten commandments were written on.
"I need to feel it when the girl starts coming on", not "drug". I try and try to hear "drug" but that just doesn't work.
Perhaps I'm just working from a bad rip. Does anyone else hear this?
"I know the sky is its competition." Consider sky for heavens of for the academic viewpoint that the Judeo-Christian god fits the paradigm of a sky god.
I'm guessing the skin is the addiction with intravenous use. The rainstorm in the first two lines of the verse may imply driving rain hitting the skin like needles - you might expect that the conditioned response for a junkie is the need for the high.
"And I need for you to be reasonable." I.e. how can I quit if the rain you pour down makes me feel the addiction and the withdrawal?
"Lifting me up like a garage door
I need to feel it when the drug starts coming on "
And how he knows god must not be happy with his addiction:
"I know you Lord are a jealous lord
I know the tablet is your competition"
But he still continues in the hope god will forgive:
"And I need for you to be reasonable "
I think this line is about buying the drugs:
"How much? She said for three hundred dollars I'll do it "
But I think is should be written like this:
"How much? She said for three hundred dollars. I'll do it "
Not sure what the last bits about rain and skin mean. Must the H talking.

the looped clip is chris rock, and i think the joke appeared back-masked somehow on his CD, that is what accounts for the slurred speech.
what a scary, burning, bubbling, crushing, sad and vitriolic song...a gem
The joke goes something like this: Dude's walking down the street and a hooker comes up to him, and says, "Hey big boy, I'll do anything you want." The dude thinks, and says, "For how much?" She said "For three hundred dollars". He says, "b*tch, paint my house"
I think this might be a Chris Rock joke (or even a sample, although it doesn't sound like him)
