slave mentality, escape
what we to just suffer and smile and be content?

and if the ain't with us, then we takin his church
is it worth to have the biggest religion
when the got miserable living conditions?
no water, no lights, no
all over we fight, but we have to unite
ain't no power in the gospel
when the priest puttin powder in his
and the council fails to lead
and the children from daily need
and the can barely eat
is it a sin to up
to fight against the ones put is in handcuffs?

and not the bible said, but in the name of the bible
how love is spread compared to how much blood is shed
