Verse one:
After seven years of rockinand'
How do you rate me?
Poorly or greatly?
Everybody seems to be goinand' for theirand's lately
Yo mad heads be needinand' money
So listen very close as i conduct this little study
See itand's funny to me you can watch tv
And give up your life trying to be all you can be
In the army
Not knowinand' 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 donand'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 weand're free
So weand'll never be
Because we havenand't recognized slavery
Youand're still a slave, look at how you behave
Debatinand' on where and when and how and what massa gave
You wanna know how we screwed up from the beginning?
We accepted our opressorand's religion
So in the case of slavery it ainand't hard
Because itand'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 donand'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 donand'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 iand'm paid or whether iand'm cryinand' broke
I like to ask these politicans would jesus vote?
The way we view god is a freakinand' shame
Church is to blame
We trust god, but bomb hussein
We simply lovinand' the scripture
Same scripture that whipped and'cha
Sooner itand'll hit and'cha
Religionand's gettinand' richer
With that european version of christ made into a picture
Our societyand's gettinand' 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 tellinand' 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 donand'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 theyand're dressinand' like devils
I pray to you for the light you might give them
Mother make them know that youand're livinand' 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 youand'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 canand't seem to forget
Vote for god, donand't vote for the devil
Let me take you to a higher level...
