[stic.man]
religion is prison
keep the people up in different divisions
of them promise you heaven
but I see a whole lot of bullshit
in the form of spirituality
slave mentality, reality
what we supposed to just suffer and smile and be
our prayers to the clouds? (stic.man - uhn uh)
i want my now, freedom on earth
and if the preacher ain't with us, then we his church
what is it worth to the biggest religion
when the people got miserable living
no water, no lights, no
all over we fight, but we have to unite
cause no power in the gospel
the priest puttin powder in his nostril
and the elder's council to lead
and the children suffer from need
and the people can eat
is it a sin to up
to fight against the ones that put is in
goddamn, what to the daily bread, spread love
and not what the bible said, but in the name of the
how much love is compared to how much blood is shed
