Verse 1: I started writing gospel raps And dealing with these hostile cats And feeling as if God was mad ‘cause the people took me off His path I was ‘posed to be like Dr. King But I let critics stop the dream So I went from Dr. King To forget y'all I'm the king Now I'm pissed off kinda stressed If the word was I'm the best And the praise was hot to d**h You would think not a lot was left But it was ‘cause deep inside I was sad ‘cause people died In Iraq and our leaders lied And would act like the beef was ours When it fact this was not the case I don't care if I'm not embraced I don't care if I'm out of place All your weapons without a trace 9-11 the Towers shake In my dreams three thousand faced Isn't it seems we'd vouch for Satan If it means he'd crown the nation People please, save yourself from this hell Pray for help in this hell Raise from self just as well For your sake you have to rebel Bridge: See this ye children see this Weep if you feel me weeping Grieve with me as I grieve this Devious day that k**ed Jesus Chorus: Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: And worthy of those He is given to you Verse 2: There are children in Palestine Who were born in the foulest time Who have sworn in a vow to die In a war for their palace[?] pride As they fight against Uncle Sam But they might against Uncle Anne Auntie because Uncle Sam Says no it's a local scam All the while up in Africa Families being ma**acred Every week and we asking ya Would you rather see the last of us? You prefer it when we acting up In a state you gave crack to us Firearms to the baddest bruhs And we know who's the last to trust To the guy in the suit and tie Tell me why is the truth a lie? Tell me why must you shoot a guy With the truth so the truth'll die Maybe something is wrong with me Maybe I shouldn't long to see Pretty leaves growing on the tree While a bird sings songs to me While the birth brings joy to me While your hurt brings more to me And our wars are destroying me Because all have recorded me So I say Bridge: See this ye children see this Weep if you feel me weeping Grieve with me as I grieve this Devious day that k**ed Jesus Chorus: Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: And worthy of those He is given to you Verse 3: They don't want us to live at all In they world they don't see us y'all Even though we too weak to crawl And they claim to believe in God I was raised to achieve for all In the manner that Jesus taught Even though people least regard Well at least 'til you breathe no more Tell me when will we learn to love? And believe we can learn from love ‘cause it's then we can turn to d** And the hatred to work for us In the Matrix they first discuss How it's made as a blur for us And the agents a curse to us But it ain't yet occurred to us So in closing I say to you Do what you'd have your neighbors do In pursuit of a greater you And the one who created you For the son he was slain for you As with all who became the truth After all when you're slain for truth You'll be raised in a day or two If you fight even though it seems Difficult even though it means As the salt you must go to streams Where the water is not so clean Let it be Bridge: See this ye children see this Weep if you feel me weeping Grieve with me as I grieve this Devious day that k**ed Jesus Chorus: Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him O'hene: And they k**ed Jesus Sheda B: And worthy of those He is given to you Sheda B: Lying, cheating and grateful for Him Lying, cheating and grateful for Him Lying, cheating and grateful for Him And worthy of those He is given to you
