HOOK:
|
My way might not be your way
|
But it’s okay
|
It’s alright, your way might not be my way
|
But it’s okay
|
It’s alright
|
|
Yea, I used to go to church
|
But the church didn’t quench my thirst
|
Mama taught me to put god first
|
But she never tried to block my search
|
I was curious, young but serious
|
Why is religion, so mysterious
|
Why is black life so hard?
|
They say you’re not supposed to question God
|
Well is it okay to question the pastor?
|
Was it passed down from the slave-master?
|
It was only the truth I was after
|
But I never could get a straight answer
|
So I couldn’t relate to the sermon
|
Put down the bible, then I start learning
|
About life, didn’t know where the path would lead
|
But I had to get off my knees
|
|
*hook
|
|
I build with the fire that’s in us
|
Only God within us, it’s no limits
|
Study the med 2 netter from chemic
|
Also I remembered
|
Smoke herb with the Rastafarians
|
Who my locks became a vegetarian
|
Following the tao, filling what the bible lacks
|
Jewels being handed to an innocent child
|
My mind is a Buddhist temple, the truth is simple
|
I try to be principle
|
Walking with a warrior spirit
|
It ain’t nothing like learning from first hand life experience
|
I’m a realist, that’s all I deal with
|
Respect the truth, that’s all I build with
|
A child of the universe
|
My religion is life and it’s just as valid
|
I strive for balance
|
|
*hook
|
|
|
I gotta admit, I don’t know
|
End to end which way it’s gonna’ go
|
Why we sit by the project window?
|
Instead of living off the land with my kin folk
|
Is there even a master plan?
|
An unseen hand? Is God a man?
|
Some say that’s sacrilegious
|
Same folks selling us lies about Christmas
|
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
|
Just so the capitalists can make money
|
They say God will take care of it
|
But you a terrorist if you say the same thing in Arabic
|
It’s so hypocritical
|
It’s a miracle, listen to the message in the spirituals
|
Wadin’ the water, I’m following Ms. Tubman and Nat Turner
|
I’m paying for my freedom and headin’ for the border
|
