歌曲歌詞
After seven years of rocking
How do you rate me
Poorly or greatly
Everybody seems to be going for there's lately
Yo mad heads be needing 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 knowing 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 politician 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
Debating on where and when and how and what Massey gave
You want to know how we screwed up from the beginning
We accepted our oppressor'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
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 crying broke
I like to ask these politicians would Jesus vote
The way we view god is a freaking shame
Church is to blame
We trust god but bomb Hussein
We simply loving the scripture
Same scripture that whipped 'cha
Sooner it'll hit 'cha
Religion's getting richer
With that European version of Christ made into a picture
Our society's getting 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 telling people to vote
I pray to god because the people have lost hope
You either vote for the mumps or the measles
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
Believers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level
But every Halloween they're dressing like devils
I pray to you for the light you might give them
Mother make them know that you're living 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 Michaelmas
I know this happened in 1519yet
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
