[Verse 1: Sho Baraka]
This is that, that, that
Protest music I might say stuff
Crazy enough to get a King up
That might get me in a lion's den
Well go ahead and put me in a fire then
Corrupt kings, corrupt queens
Do ugly things with a "pretty please"
I've seen abuse of a king's dream
Slave for the money - whipped cream
Serve people or serve dollar signs
Grand Theft Auto or Columbine
Israel and Palestine
The world's being crooked how am I out of line?
And I don't know why we do this
Only the foolish k** Jesus and praise Judas
I see shock in a large crowd
I guess you ain't right because you shout loud
They tell her pray like they did a favor
Free a criminal, k** a savior
Hold up, I take the blame too
We love our self that we'd rather change you
I'm trynna live like it ain't true
Yeah, you know, like we ain't fools
Rap the hell out of something because it ain't cool
Nailed to the cross, [?]
[Chorus: Hello Revolution]
And He walked right through the valley
Full of mercy full of grace
k** Jesus, Praise Judas
Lord forgive them for the evil
And all their wicked ways
k** Jesus, Praise Judas!
[Verse 2: Sho Baraka]
This is that, this is that, that, that
Protest music I might say stuff
Crazy enough to make change come
The freedom riders may like this
Pick in the afro with a black fist
Words that decorate a real father
Who loves on the queen's daughters
Who blossoms the King's flowers
Because ain't no hoes up in God's garden
Am I alone in this nightmare?
Well I guess I'll be a light there
I walk with wolves and baboons
There'll be a church in the wild soon
In the valley of d**h
Because ain't much change since the last I left
Envy asking me to come back
Jealousy wants me to unpack
Lust has been talking about she miss me
d**h has been dying to kiss me
Greed whispers with the coolness
"I love it when you act like Judas."
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: Sho Baraka]
The many mistakes the multiple apologies
The pride in my heart when the rest didn't acknowledge me
The many times I've opened my mouth
When silence could have been the best route, yeah
We all gone learn... one day
It's all gone burn... they say
