[Verse 1:] |
|
After seven years of rockin' |
|
How do you rate me? |
|
Poorly or greatly? |
|
Everybody seems to be goin' for their's lately |
|
Yo mad heads be needin' money |
|
So listen very close as I conduct this little study |
|
See it's, funny to me, you can watch TV |
|
And give up your life trying to be all you can be |
|
In the Army |
|
Not knowin' your history |
|
You either fight and die or come back home in misery |
|
Yo get with me, I deal with reality |
|
Loosen your mind to the truth, and don't get mad at me |
|
No politican can give you peace |
|
If you trust Jesus, why do you vote for a beast? |
|
Emancipation is long over due |
|
So overcome procrastination |
|
Because freedom is within you |
|
For some reason we think we're free |
|
So we'll never be |
|
Because we haven't recognized slavery |
|
You're still a slave, look at how you behave |
|
Debatin' on where and when and how and what Massa gave |
|
You wanna know how we screwed up from the beginning? |
|
We accepted our opressor's religion |
|
So in the case of slavery it ain't hard |
|
Because it's right in the eyes of THEIR God |
|
Where is our God, the God that represents us? |
|
The God that looks like me, the God that I can trust? |
|
A God of peace and love, not mass hysteria |
|
I don't want a God that blesses America |
|
I could never really vote for the devil |
|
Let me take you to a higher level... |
|
[Verse 2:] |
|
Title, take the title from the Bible we can get there |
|
Rip the title from off the front of the Bible, God don't live there |
|
Too many inconsistencies, too many mysteries |
|
Picture the Pope and the Vatican, laughing and drinking and singing and |
|
Kissing me |
|
I stand with God whether I'm paid or whether I'm cryin' broke |
|
I like to ask these politicans would Jesus vote? |
|
The way we view God is a freakin' shame |
|
Church is to blame |
|
We trust God, but bomb Hussein |
|
We simply lovin' the scripture |
|
Same scripture that whipped 'cha |
|
Sooner it'll hit 'cha |
|
Religion's gettin' richer |
|
With that European version of Christ made into a picture |
|
Our society's gettin' sicker, and sicker, and sicker... |
|
Like liquor, we are God-Intoxicated |
|
Not to the true God, but the one the government created |
|
The same governments tellin' people to vote |
|
I pray to God because the people have lost hope |
|
You either vote for the mumps or the measels |
|
Whether you vote for the lesser of two evils, you vote for evil |
|
Politics and God are not equal |
|
But the education if you don't guard, is really lethal |
|
People have more respect for a holy book |
|
Than they do for a cow on a meat hook |
|
Believers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level |
|
But every Halloween they're dressin' like devils |
|
I pray to you for the light you might give them |
|
Mother make them know that you're livin' with them |
|
You begin them and end them in silence |
|
Frankly, if they knew you, they would understand violence |
|
I pray to you for the Pope and the Vatican |
|
Have mercy Mother, cause I know that you're mad at them |
|
The White Jesus deceived us awhile ago |
|
And Pope Julius the Second paid Michaelangelo |
|
I know this happened in 1519 yet |
|
This is the image we can't seem to forget |
|
Vote for God, don't vote for the Devil |
|
Let me take you to a higher level... |
