Lyrics:
and love
Be ever, ever giv'n
By saints below and saints above
The church in earth and Heav'n
There are so few words
That never grow old
There are so
by day, yeah!
Me say de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yeah!
Building church and university,
(come groove with me in the spiritual kingdom of love)
Have a heart (that is, you and I could have a good time)
Betty, I'm not fireproof
Well
though
Unfortunately i remember being kind of
Intimidated by the idea
Of it actually church was the hood julliard
To me all the coldest musicians came out
To become a minister and by the way I understand he was very successful
And during this period of his life Tommy pasteured a small Baptist church
In the very
happens to bring out the Atlantis in me
Island of wonder
Where do you come from
Is it the way the sun hits my face
Or is it your memory which I cannot
Doublewide Quick Stop midnight T-top
Jack in her Cherry Coke town
Momma and daddy put their roots right here
'Cause this is where the car broke
to gospel they're a lively bunch
Singing hallelujah while they plan their next church lunch
There's Sister Betty Lou always in the know
She's got the latest
Standing on a mountain looking down on a city
The way I feel is a doggone pity
Teardrops fallin' down a mountainside
Many times I've been here, many
Church, "What Up," shit I left the camcorder in the truck
Running through the maternity ward, out of breath, sweating
I swear to God every minute's
Whites
From Wright brothers Benjamin Franklin flying kites
White Union Soldiers died to free Blacks
But, today all White men do is get attacked
Majority
The years creep slowly by, lorena
The snow is on the grass again
The sun's low down the sky, lorena
The frost gleams where the flowers have been
But
by day, yeah!
Me say de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yeah!
Building church and university,
the building (Amen)
I tell the waiter fifty bottles and
She tell me say when
And I say church (Preach)
We make it light up like a church (Preach)
She wanna fuck
Crawling between houses
The past flies by my eyes
Is this where I will die?
I light up a match
Crawling between houses
The past flies by my eyes
Is
Preachers at the church knowing, we still get by
(From this point on it only gets rougher)
Teachers at the school knowing
(From this point on it only gets
grill cause these O.G.'s is washed up
I got a left like, Winky Wright
My pinky bright, my bank card'll end your life
Niggas scheme but they sweeter
the fuck is that?
I don't know, I don't know
Who the who the fuck is that?
I don't know, I don't know
I said, who the who the fuck is
Started out with
you're gettin' fucked out your green by a white boy
With no Vaseline
("Now you're gettin' done without Vaseline")
("Now you're gettin' done without
What is America to me
A name, a map, or a flag I see
A certain word, democracy
What is America to me
The house I live in
A plot of earth,
you, I believe a man is judged by what's in his heart, and not his bank account
So if this is what religion is, a big car, a suit and a tie
Then I
the church,
And a wall around the prison.
I think the wall around your heart, baby
Is blocking out your vision.
So put a hammer in your hand,
And faith in your
and dad's old love letters
And the photograph of this house that we're standin' in now
Let's stop by the church where we got married
Walk out back where
young life straight into the dust
They're church is their Golgotha
Their crucified by the priest
Child becomes the victim
Holy Father becomes
