Ms. Holy Roller (Album Version)

Mic check 1  2 1 2
This is dedicated to an old friend of mine
Michelle
She a Holy Roller now
Turned over a new leaf
Now everythin' old gon' burn
Ms  Holy Roller  new angel
Got ya Bible out shoutin'
And you're ringing a bell
Mid-life  reborn  can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe
I'm going to hell
I've been down with Jesus since
Sunday school & Easter speeches
The Bible was survival
That's what my grandma would teach us
Since I was 5  I've been dying
And trying to read it When I did I did
It redefined it
Now you was 34 when you found Jesus
After your life fell to pieces
Wife two times  with two guys
Now enlightened in speeches
Seemed to flow out your mouth
With the hype of a preacher
Took your whole life to reach you
Now I'm a trifling creature
Ms  Holy Roller  new angel
Got ya Bible out shoutin'
And you're ringing a bell
Mid-life  reborn  can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe
I'm going to hell
Come on  if I die right this second
I reckon that God would simply check
Into my life & times  dissecting my rhymes
He'll see how I've been leading his troops
You can't do dirt your whole life then say "oops'
Now where was Jesus
When you life then you was cheatin'
When you was deceiving me
Where was Jesus when you greedy
Your lawyers was bleeding me
Where was Jesus when every weekend
A new man living with you
Oh  wait he was with me
Trying to keep me from killing you
Now  where was Jesus
When you was lying & you was betraying me
When I was trying to make it
You was hatin' delayin' me  huh
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you
Oh  he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you
If I ain't know Jesus  ain't no telling where I would be
It's been nights I felt like feces;
I needed to fight to release it
I'm in the limelight  it's hot & the heat is ceaseless
Holding my tongue while little bums cut me to pieces
The only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus &
Venting with my pen  intending to write & release it
But when an ex-friend would slight me
Or slam me with venom
I hate it  I can't stand it  damnit  I really resent it
I always strive to be righteous  my version of God
The reason why I never write verses with curses inside
The reason I never purposely hurt persons
I've applied many teaching of God
Searching the reaches of God
Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me
I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from misery
You made mistakes & blunders
You breaking from under
But yo  If I'm going to hell  it's making me wonder
Where was Jesus when you cheat me
You were the seison me
Where was Jesus when you greedy
Your lawyers was bleeding me
Where was Jesus when every weekend
A new man living with you
Oh  wait he was with me
Trying to keep me from killing you
Now  where was Jesus when you was
Lying & you was betraying me
When I was trying to make it
You was hatin' delayin' me  huh
Where was Jesus when the ice
Was thrilling you
Oh  he was he with me trying to
Keep me from killing you
The greatest atrocities ever committed
On this planet have been in the
Name of God
This country was founded by Puritans
For the expressed purpose of
Oppression-free worship
Your attitude is the same arrogant
Fearful fundamentalism that fueled the
Hatred of the Crusades
& the attacks on 9/11
If we are not allowed to worship
God as groups & individuals free from
Persecution  in respectful
Tolerance  there's only one outcome
Ms  Holy Roller  new angel
Got ya Bible out shoutin'
And you're ringing a bell
Mid-life  reborn
Can't wait to tell  if I don't believe what you believe
I'm going to hell
Ms  Holy Roller  new angel
Got ya Bible out shoutin'
And you're ringing a bell
Mid-life  reborn
Can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe
I'm going to hell
