is like prison
keep the people up in different divisions
of them promise you heaven
but I see a whole lot of ism-scism
imperialism in the of spirituality
mentality, escape reality
what we supposed to just and smile and be content?
sendin our to the clouds? (stic.man - uhn uh)
i want my heaven now, on earth
and if the preacher ain't with us, we takin his church
what is it worth to the biggest religion
when the people got miserable conditions?
no water, no lights, no
all over africa we fight, but we have to
cause no power in the gospel
the priest puttin powder in his nostril
and the council fails to lead
and the children suffer from daily
and the can barely eat
is it a sin to up
to fight the ones that put is in handcuffs?
goddamn, what happened to the daily bread, spread
and not what the said, but in the name of the bible
how much love is spread compared to how much blood is

everyday my get inside the bus
