Verse One:
|
|
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 Two:
|
|
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
|
Belivers 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...
