I know exactly where we're headed,
|
Science won't give God any credit,
|
And the church says as long the prophet said it,
|
It's good enough for the church to be fed it,
|
There's four thousand different interpretations,
|
We disagree from Genesis to Revelations,
|
We need to get to the core of the situation,
|
And stop bitchin' 'bout same-sex relations,
|
|
And the chapel says it's non-profit, yeah,
|
'Cept if the prophet wants a Benz, he goes and cops it,
|
And growing up wealth was never topic, no,
|
My daddy never had bread up in his pocket, oh,
|
And my tax dollars only teach abstinence,
|
'Cept half the girls I grew up with got pregnant,
|
Instead of scholarships, they got carriages,
|
Instead of chasing their dreams, they're chasing marriages,
|
|
And Martin Luther King (Jr.) had a vision,
|
So this must be a blind generation,
|
And it seems that we've become a nation,
|
Manipulated by the congregation,
|
And we will never find racial unity,
|
Unless we find equal opportunity,
|
Well, I will never rest for immunity,
|
'Cause I was born and raised in a Caucasian community,
|
The less-fortunate are run,
|
By their desires for these poisons,
|
Your meth, crack and heroin,
|
They are the kings of the underprivileged kingdom,
|
|
And there's a phantom epidemic in our nation,
|
And this phantom epidemic's education,
|
Entertainment and recreation--they take priority over shaping generations,
|
And what about the media?
|
Quit believing every single thing they're feeding ya,
|
The view of our political agendas,
|
Is swayed by political vendetta,
|
|
And I am just a son of illegitimates,
|
And I'm just another bitch with an instrument,
|
And whoring out my personal opinions,
|
And whoring out my personal convictions,
|
And, yes, I believe that the church is in crisis,
|
And, yes, I believe everybody's got their vices,
|
But the crisis that provoked me to write this,
|
Is I know the good I should do, but I always do the opposite,
|
So I should be the last to speak, yeah,
|
I should be the last to speak,
|
I should be the last to speak,
|
I should be the last to,
|
I should be the last to,
|
Well, I should be the last to speak,
|
I should be the last to speak,
|
Well, I should be the last to speak,
|
I should be the last to,
|
I should be the last to speak.
