See, I'm here with this cup in my palm and I'm getting wasted
I'm just trying to cope with it all cuz right now none of this bullsh** makes sense
See, I got a close friend he's Buddhist, and I was taught to be Christian
And because of that my pastor said he's goin' to hell
Man it's kinda f**ed up isn't it? I mean, damn, we all goin through the same sh**
And he's headed for damnation cuz of what he was raised to have faith in
Oh please don't ruin my day b**h
Cuz that's dumb, get three strikes and darling that's one
So is religion control how you livin
And feed you a fear, until you conditioned to do what they say
You was in church last week, tell me how much did you pay
To clean up your sins, preachers up front, you on a bus, he in a benz
Mama at work, and her son's in the pen
Daddy left home and won't come back again
Daughter's alone and she's f**in at 10
I picked up the phone and I called up a friend
And he told me that his coach is bombin' again
So much war, not enough peace
Too much blood lost in the streets
To protect and serve, man f** the police
Home of the brave, the land of the free
Land of the slaves, home of the weak
Pardon me ma'am I don't mean to preach
But there are some folks that don't want me to speak
So that's why Im about to yell it feels like we already in hell
I won't lie down I'd rather die for the truth I did tell
Cuz, oh, I gotta stand for something
Pa** me that illegal substance
And just turn that music up
Cuz it's the only thing that's kept me goin'
Lately I've been sad and mighty uninspired from dealing with all these lies
You see, I don't believe in bullsh**
Don't believe in the system
I don't believe in knowledge but I do believe in wisdom
And I don't believe in college , I don't believe in prison
And I do believe in logic but I still got superstitions
And I do believe in n***a, give the word a new meaning
You can't let the past define you, if so you just gone repeat it
And I don't believe in government, just believe in hip hop
Can't believe my cousin dead, man why he even get shot?
And baby please don't slit your wrists, I don't believe in giving up
If you think that this the end, that just means you ain't lived enough
I don't believe in cla**, and I don't believe in race
Don't think we should have separate titles because of the color of our face
You see, I don't believe where I'm from makes me what I am
I just believe in love, and I still believe in man
