Mic check, one, two, one, two
In the name of the Father
This dedicated to a old friend of mine, Michelle
The Son, and of the Holy Spirit
She a holy roller now, turn over a new leaf
Please
Now everything old gon' burn
Please help me not do it again
Uh
Ms
Holy roller, new angel with your Bible
Out, shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Midlife reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe, I'm goin' to hell
Yo, I been down with Jesus since Sunday school and Easter speeches
The Bible was survival, that's what my grandma would teach us
Since I was five, I've been dyin' and tryin'
To read it, and when 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 enlightening 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 with your Bible
Out, shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Midlife reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe, I'm goin' to hell
Come on
If I die right this second, I reckon that God would simply
Check into my life and times, dissectin' my rhymes
He'll see how I've been leadin' his troops
You can't do dirt your whole life, then say, "Oops." Now
Where was Jesus when you was cheatin' and you was deceiving me?
Where was Jesus when you was greedy?
Your lawyers was bleedin' me
Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man was livin' with you?
Oh, wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' you
Now, where was Jesus when you was lyin' and you was betrayin' me?
When I was tryin' to make it and you was hatein', delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrillin' ya?
Oh, wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' ya
If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no tellin' 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 and the heat is ceaseless
And holdin' my tongue, all of the bones cut me to pieces
The only reason's 'cause I studied the life of Jesus and
Ventin' with my pen and intendin' to write and release it
But when an ex-friend slight me and slam me with venom
I hate it, I can't stand it, damn it, I really resent it
I always strive to be righteous, my version of God, the
Reason why I never write rap verses with curses inside
The reason I never purposely hurt persons, I've applied
Many teachings of God searchin' the reaches of God
Ponder the mysteries of why you be dissin' me
I adore you, all I hope for you is freedom from misery
You made mistakes and blunders, you breakin' from under
But yo, if I'm goin' to hell, it's makin' me wonder
Now, where was Jesus when you was cheatin' and you was deceiving me?
Where was Jesus when you was greedy?
Your lawyers was bleedin' me
Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man was livin' with you?
Oh, wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' you
Now, where was Jesus when you was lyin' and you was betrayin' me?
When I was tryin' to make it and you was hatein', delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrillin' ya?
Oh, wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' ya
The greatest atrocities ever committed on
This planet have been in the name of God
This country was founded by the Puritans for
The express purpose of oppression-free worship
Your attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism that
Fueled the hatred of the Crusades and the attacks of 9/11
If we are not allowed to worship God as groups and individuals free
From persecution in respectful tolerance, there's only one outcome
Ms
Holy roller, new angel with your Bible
Out, shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Midlife reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe, I'm goin' to hell
Yo, Ms
Holy roller, new angel with your Bible
Out, shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Midlife reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe, I'm goin' to hell
