   Just a few differences:

   I don't know if I would have written out the Ayhee line that way but I can't think of a particular better option so I'd leave it.

   Didn't know how to italicize so I put in C like comments

   Praise God, who has many names
   But the devil have many more
   And with the love that my mother gave me
   I'm gonna knock the devil to the floor //drop -> knock

   Walking along in this age of confusion // haze -> age
   Sometimes I can laugh but sometimes it takes all of my strength // laugh
   Just to find enough reason to take the next step, step
   But I will, but I will, till I do

   Brother, sister //singular the first time
   Brothers, sisters
   Brothers, sisters
   Brothers, sisters

   Strange evolution
   When people have come to believe that we are its greatest conclusion
   When really we're just a collection of cells //when really
   Overrating themselves
   And oh God, I'm avoiding the truth

   First, not sure about "haze" or "age", it could be either I think.

   Also, I wouldn't even attempt to decipher his chant. Those aren't words he's saying, it's just nonsense vocal noise (just like the Coy Sand people do). Don't decipher this.

   Haha, I think 'Coy Sand' in my last comment is 'Khoisan'

   *talking back and forth to tim*
   (The Khoisan, it's what everyone is saying, Ayhee, try to get it straight, sounds like it, but I'm going to do my own thing…they're always singin)…

   Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
   Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye

   Beware the people who'll
   try to convince you
   That they know the dance
   No matter the question
   Be wary of those who believe in a neat little world
   Because it's just fucking crazy
   You know that it is

   Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
   Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye

   Walking along in this haze of confusion
   Sometimes I can laugh
   But sometimes it takes all of my strength
   Just to find enough reason to take the next step
   Step but I will, but I will 'till I do

   Unh-huh, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye
   Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay - Somebody's gonna change the world
   E-hee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-Somebody's gonna change the world
   Ayhee, yeah, (chant) Ah-mon-nay-ah, A-ay-yay-yay-yah-a-mon-aye

   Brother, sister, brothers, sisters, all
   Brother, sister, brothers, sisters

   Praise God who has many names
   But the devil has many more
   So with the love that my mother gave me
   I'm gonna drop the devil to the floor
   I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees
   I'm gonna drop the devil to his knees

   Strange evolution
   When people have come
   To believe that we are
   Its greatest illusion
