[size=19pt]I was raised in a pentecostal Church of God, My father was the deacon, he used to stand preaching, I used to to steal collection, I used to catch a beating, Forgive me Lord, I knew not what I did, I was just a kid, trying to hustle up a quid, Feeling kinda ashamed, riding in the Church right, Bible in my hand, dressed in my Sunday best, Reach a Churchyard and I'm feeling depressed. I'm in the midst of the well-dressed, talking about singing, singing thanks and praise to the King of the Jews, And I'm all confused, because I can't see the sense, Why should I turn the other cheek and get beat? There's no peace without war so who am I? The Pastor drives Benz, while we looking to the sky singing soon, very soon, we gonna see the king Soon oh, very soon, I just wanna be blinged! Woke up one Sunday, Feeling kinda raw I said "Dad, I don't really want to go Church no more" Soon as I said it, I felt a slap to my jaw He said "Son, as long as your living under my roof You're gonna heed MY interpretation of the truth And the truth is right here It's written in this book, the Holy Bible It's the key to survival so you best heed the word" He said, "Do as I say, not what I do And you'll see, goodness will follow you" begrudgingly, I ironed my shirt, and polished my shoes Went to Church and I took in their far-out views And their strange perceptions of Heaven and Hell. To this very day I still fight down their spell, Because For all that we pray, we still stay poor, With that leaky roof dripping on the front room floor. Please don't get me twisted, I'm far from a heathen, This is just a simple piece of basic rhyme and reason, It's not my meaning to demean or blaspheme, But most things in the Bible ain't as plain as they seem, Can I trust King James to translate these papers? Do I need a middle-man to link with the creator? Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, Church band plays, now I'm spending my pounds. Looking for a short-cut on the road to Zion, We can't fool God, but we're wasting time trying, Two thirds of the truth is yet to be told, Two thousand years of corruption will soon unfold. Sins in your eyes, sins gonna make you cry, Oh Lord, can you help me with my sins? Oh Lord can you help me with my sin, sin sinners? There are no Sins like Sins[/size] -Roots Manuva 1 Like |
