Talib Kweli - Congregation lyrics

[Verse 1: Black Thought] I'm on that homicide, suicide, drama like Islamabad Under God, going overboard like the Amistad Ringing bells, it was 2012 back in 95 I made it out alive, now finally I've arrived But still threw back to all my other blue black People that's sticking to it like, mice to a glue trap My work speak for itself so I don't interrupt I am an expert, this is no beginners luck If you denying the truth, then I don't give a f** Otherwise get your hands and your antennas up As we go into our initial decent, I'm alive, but only fifty percent I wasn't listening to that intuition now I'm in that system again And I'm praying God give me the strength I'm drifting into a dark place, tryna keep this part of my heart safe My soul basically been shark bait, my body's in bad shape [Hook: Talib] Spitting that fire flame, on a higher plane, going poltergeist Life a game, ain't no referee, I can't hold it right Bring the rain, praying to the Lord for it to pour tonight Bring the pain, f**ing with that meth, I'm on that Walter White The rain [?], make it or you don't make it You gotta take it, take it, take it or you gon' get taken Can I get a church from the congregation? Can I get a church from the congregation? [Verse 2: Ab-Soul] I'm on that armageddon, public devastation, come in the Revelations Rap Jehovah, knocking pastors over while I pa** the dosha Lord forgive him, but I keep cutting these records like a sword was with 'em Mixing it with the medicine, attempting to warn the children Of what the future holds, slaves of monatomic gold Seems the problem is atomic, but it's microscopic though I'm courting hoes and pouring fours, there must be something more than this Hopefully I'm immortal and I'll never need a mortician All my thoughts is black, Kweli on the track My reflection is eternal even if the mirror cracks And I don't wear no watch, cause I ain't got no time Solar system, this is astronomy not a rhyme We bringing the real back, y'all ain't have no spine So spin the reel back, n***a press rewind Soak it all in, that is until you're dry I'm throwing the peace and eating a piece of devil's pie, I'm... [Hook] [Verse 3: Talib] A dialectic Attract cofollowings like scientologists reading the dianetics This religion that I invented, it's really a way of life These thoughts of freedom that I embedded is reaching you through the speakers These poison animal leaders is weaker than n***as with fever and sweeter than diabetics Get deaded trying to set it, they'll tie you up like a fetish They'll gas you up like unleaded and let it off 'Til you wetter than spaghetti sauce and lettuce chopped up with your body left in a crevice We the reverends performing exorcisms Exercising the right to fight for the dedicated Concentrated few that's left who listen God is with them like we started a mission, following God is wisdom God is risen like followers of Elijah finding God in prison We praying for that work, we need that occupation Can I get a church from the congregation If you sick of the same conversation You say you make it rain but that's just condensation [Hook]
