Hell
every sunday dressin' up catchin' gossip at its worst
couldn't see the difference in the baptist and the catholic church
caught up in the rapture of the first chapter and the second verse
if we all god's children then what's the word of the reverend worth
taught early that faith is blind like justice when you facin' time
if we all made in god's image then that means his face is mine
wait or it's that blasphemy it's logical it has to be
if i don't look like my father then the way i live is bastardly
naturally that's confusion to a young'n tryin' to follow christ
taught that if you don't know jesus then you lead a hollow life
never question the fact that jesus was jewish not a christian
or that christianity was law according to politicians
and who was king james and why did he think that it was so vital to remove chapters and make his own version of the bible
they say hell is underground and heaven is in the sky
they say that's where you go when you die but how they know
i've been to many churches i've quoted many verses
i've dealt with my base self i controlled my many urges
i used to study my lessons that was a blessing and not a curse
i found out that heaven and hell exist right here on earth word
studied with rastafarians found out from the dreads that hell is called babylon
and that's where them crazy boarheads dwell
they got us thinkin that muslims like to make bombs
but real muslims believe in paradise and resist the shaitan
so it all sound the same to me but when they say
one's right and the other's wrong it just sound like game to me
it's like god skip past the church and came to me
no that ain't vain to me it's just a particular way i came to see
the difference between those that claim to be
religious and those they say they spiritual and recognize that life is full of miracles
you could see my glow in a rhyme the poem divine 'cause they coincide
with a grow in the time that those who lookin' for god knowin' to go inside
living in mass confusion looking for absolution
the gas seducing and psychopath produce the last solution
based on his interpretation of what the words were sayin
lookin' for god but ended up doin' the work of satan
religion create division make the muslim hate the christian
make the christian hate the jew
make the rules in faith that you condition to and to you gotta follow
god forbid you go to hell
but if you ever walked through any ghetto then you know it well
