Am I evil if I leave Jesus out the acknowledgments?
Can I not cross the Red Sea without parting it?
Like what is my part in this? Sinning and ask you to pardon it?
Wake up the next day, make the same mistake, I found it foul like Artemis
Using it as an excuse to be stupa
I see these snakes set in stone, stare from Medusa
Divine justifies all the lies like the Ku Klux
In God's name, we slay in vain spilling blue blood
And yes, the red and white
You see, the darkness is never truly set in light
They're set apart from, as we pursue a better life
A bloodsucker, a vamp looking for necks to bite
I'm next to dice, not knowing what my roll is for
I'm riding the rodeo, going toe to toe with the bull of moral codes
Hope my aura glows back to life like it's Soul II Soul
Filling up my 46 chromosomes
And still I pray, but to who? I don't know
Do not stay where you want to go
I keep calling God, but he's not responding, what's the number to dial in?
Or give me his @ name or I'll post on his wall
And leave emojis all frowning with a pound symbol like
#thisisbullthatyouareneveraroundanymore
Not since Rosa died, that's when the hope inside subsided
My great-grandmother looking over my life
Still haven't read that Bible she gave me
And the spirit inside of me has been idle and shady
Should I pass Jesus the wheel? Because I'm driving me crazy
On the highway to hell, head on fire like Hades
She always said the only way was the way of Lord
But since her Noah's Ark sunk, I wasn't taken aboard
So now I wait at the shore, stranded on an island
With nobody, far from radicals demanding that I try it
Got no passion or desire to be categorized
Try to define good and bad, don't be mad that I tried
Just want to make the most of my life
Amen
