I was raised in houston 3rd ward amongst the drama
Pops was off the hook but had a bible toting mama
Sunday school btu was a must plus iand'm inertia
Wondering why my dad donand't come to church plus he hurts her
All repetition till iand'm 12 years old
Preacher kickinand' old time religion hit me dead in the soul
And now iand'm up at the altar
Choir blowinand' that way in the water
Lord help me
Reminiscing on innocence this pillows soaking
Thatand's when my mom left my pops, brought me to oakland
Negativity hitting me from every angle
Couldand've sworn the devil sent his every angel
In this strange old land, i see iand'm fallinand'
Moms keep stressing me, stop ignoring my calling
But something in me keeps runninand' like i need to go
They say you reap what you sow
Black people what
Chorus
The ending has come
The moonlight is gone
Look up high, youand'll see his arms
Say not for you
But still itand's true
Will you be waiting when he comes
Romans 10 to 9
Says believe it with your mind, and
Confess it with your mouth, and
You will be divine, and
Iand'm still kickinand' on the altar
Cause it sure hurt me when the preacher turn to me faulty yand'all
Made me feel more comfortable about my backslidinand'
Gand's donand't get to heaven so stop hidinand'
Everybody that was raised on prayer is now a player
You can call me a square
If i donand't care
Then your souland's on my backside
And who gonna show them kids how to act right
Last days, these days be the last ones
Fast ways erased cause we passion
For the man thereand's no way we gonna get high
Not by smokinand' on that bomb, but up in the sky
Itand's not hard but he gave us a chance yand'all
God bless every man in the sound of my voice
Itand's the second sermon
Chorus x2
As we approach another day
Guide are steps when we want another way
As our brothers and sisters go astray
Letand's intercede, on our knees and pray
And as the congregation stands
Black people let us all join hands
Choose the right of 2 lands
So we can all see the man
Itand's the second sermon
Chorus x2
