0:23Listen to the preacher man
0:24But are you talkin' to me
0:26I can't hear you with a mouth full of pig's feet
0:29If I should need the swine flesh
0:32Your body is a mess but you're blessed
0:34With a father son spirit and the holy ghost
0:37But my whole neighborhood is comatose
0:40Lookin' for survival
0:42The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible
0:46400 years gettin' our a** kicked
0:48By so called Christians and Catholics
0:51But I watch 'em burn in a fire
0:53See I'm a g that's why I ain't in your choir
0:57Cause I see cause I know
1:00The church ain't nothin' but a fashion show
1:02Get the devil to a 187
1:04And they won't call me a ni**a when I get to heaven
1:30You're waitin' for the devil to come from the ground
1:33Clown take a look around
1:35Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin'
1:38A beast in sheep's clothing
1:41But I'm rollin' with that knowledge of self
1:44Cause heaven ain't just wealth
1:46So mister preacher if I couldn't pay my tithe
1:49Do I have to wait outside
1:52White man please take another look
1:55Cause we couldn't be readin' out of the same book
1:57Cause yous a crook and I'm a brother
2:00King James had sex with his mother
2:03Is that your edition is that your religion
2:06Black man you gotta make a decision
2:09Cause god is comin' on day number seven
2:12And he won't call me a ni**a when I get to heaven
2:37The same white man that threw me in the slammer
2:40He bombed the church in Alabama
2:43So if I the hammer god won't mind
2:46If I have to kill the human swine
2:49Cause god is a killer from the start
2:51Why you think Noah had to build his ark
2:54And god is a man from his feet to his hair
2:56That's why you say 'amen' after each and every prayer
3:00I just stare at the church man
3:03Spendin' more money on the church band
3:06But elijah's got a plan
3:08Got the white man screamin' 'damn that farrakhan'
3:11Cause one day these babies are up rise
3:14Much more than bow ties and bean pies
3:17Kickin' knowledge at 7 11
3:19And they won't call me a ni**a when I get to heaven
