El-P - R.A.P. Music lyrics

[Intro] I've never really had a religious experience, in a religious place. Closest I've ever come to seeing or feeling God is listening to rap music. Rap music is my religion. Amen [Verse 1] What I say might save a life, what I speak might save the street I ain't got no instruments, but I got my hands and feet Hands gonna clap and feet gonna tap El-P beats to make that snap And I ride 'em with my raps And they all tight as my naps And my naps is all I got and this beautiful ebony skin And the music in my heart and the words put in the wind And the words put in the wind Comin' back like a boomerang When I take this microphone Point it at the crowd, they start to sing [Hook x2] This is jazz, this is funk, this is soul, this is gospel This is sanctified sick; this is player Pentecostal This is church; front pew, amen, pulpit What my people need and the opposite of bullsh** [Verse 2] It's that Robert Johnson That Muddy Waters That James Brown, Augusta, Georgia That Ray Charles, that Stevie Wonder That Mayfield, that Superfly That Willie Hutch and that Mack It's that blues man, that soul man That OutKast, that Southernplayalisticadillac It's that Jimi Hendrix, that George Clinton I feel it in my bones Aretha Franklin, that Shirley Caesar Miss Nina Simone That Sade, that Love is King That Coltrane, that Love Supreme That Miles Davis, b**hes Brew That "beeeyotch" said by Playboy Too [Hook x2] [Verse 3] I got things to do, before I meet that glory in the sky And my baby girl b-day six months away, she gonna be five So I pray to the Lord he spare me, and I make it by and by And I help souls stay out of Hell with what I testify And maybe when I grab that microphone and never lie That'll merit that he spare me, I won't have to feel that fire So k**a k** gonna spit that real on each and every song And each and every poem, until the good lord call me home, gone! [Hook]
