Mic check 1, 2.. this is dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle... | |
[CHORUS] | |
Ms. Holy Roller, new angel, got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell | |
mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell, if I don't believe what you believe, | |
I'm going to hell... | |
I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school & Easter speeches | |
The Bible was survival, that's what my grandma would teach us | |
Since I was 5, I've been dying and trying to read it When I did I did, it redefined it | |
Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces | |
Wife two times, with two guys, now enlightened in speeches | |
Seemed to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher | |
Took your whole life to reach you, now I'm a trifling creature | |
[CHORUS] | |
Come on, if I die right this second, I reckon that God would simply check | |
into my life & times, dissecting my rhymes, he'll see how I've been leading his troops | |
You can't do dirt your whole life then say "oops'! | |
[BRIDGE] | |
Now where was Jesus, when you life then you was cheatin', when you was deceiving me? | |
Where was Jesus when you greedy, your lawyers was bleeding me? | |
Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man living with you? | |
Oh, wait he was with me, trying to keep me from killing you? | |
Now, where was Jesus when you was lying & you was betraying me? | |
When I was trying to make it, you was hatin' delayin' me, huh? | |
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you, | |
Oh, he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you! | |
If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no telling where I would be | |
It's been nights I felt like feces; I needed to fight to release it | |
I'm in the limelight, it's hot & the heat is ceaseless, | |
Holding my tongue while little bums cut me to pieces | |
The only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus & | |
Venting with my pen, intending to write & release it | |
But when an ex-friend would slight me or slam me with venom | |
I hate it, I can't stand it, damnit, I really resent it | |
I always strive to be righteous, my version of God | |
The reason why I never write verses with curses inside | |
The reason I never purposely hurt persons, | |
I've applied many teaching of God, | |
Searching the reaches of God | |
Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me, | |
I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from misery | |
You made mistakes & blunders, you breaking from under | |
But yo, If I'm going to hell, it's making me wonder. | |
[BRIDGE] | |
The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet have been in the | |
name of God | |
This country was founded by Puritans, for the expressed purpose of | |
oppression-free worship | |
Your attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism that fueled the | |
hatred of the Crusades | |
& the attacks on 9/11. | |
If we are not allowed to worship God as groups & individuals free from | |
persecution, in respectful | |
Tolerance, there's only one outcome... | |
