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
