Man, God is good! Let's talk about a scam of Biblical proportions Criminal extortions causin' spiritual abortions We gettin' fed some dangerous dreams Huh, but yo, everything ain't what it seems Religion and slavery; two peas in a pod It's easy to mod minds; just give 'em Jesus and God And tell 'em that slavery was just a part of the plan 'Cuz after all, God is much smarter than man Teach 'em to be devout, religious; forget about the spirits Only listen when the deacon is speakin' Don't ever think to blame the slave master The same bastard that enslaved you gave you this Internalizin' every chapter and verse But accordin' to Book Of Mormon, bein' black is a curse But I'm not surprised, 'cuz the Portuguese In the name of God, snatched us across the seas Four centuries later, they tell us it's all good But they still teachin' my people falsehoods (I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy...) But ain't no preacher comin' to save me No, no, no... preacher! No, no, no... preacher! I don't care about your religion, your race, your whatever the f*ck! Your Christianity, your Muslim-ism; I only worry about how you treat me as a human being That's it! Hot damn; I'm not a fan of the propaganda Counterfeited religions got us proud of division Yo, and some got it twisted like a yoga stretch They heard part of the story, but they don't know the rest Like why King James' name is on the Bible This shit wasn't intended for our survival Scripture whipped ya, but where did we get it from? I think it's time we dance to a different drum It isn't fun; matter of fact it's quite odd That you expect black people to pray to a white God Who gave the Canaanite the right to smite And cast the Nubian people away from the light I chose to walk 256 paths The Most High is my God, and he kicks ass Quick fast to blast myths and spit facts Ever since Genesis, ignorance was my nemesis No, no, no... preacher! No, no, no... preacher! So help me God; the topic is critical After 400 years, we've forgotten the spiritual And can't reconnect 'cuz the preacher kept us back The Vatican don't give a f*ck about a African! Most of what we've been taught is apocryphal Yo, in other words, it's a lotta bull Remarkable how many people will die believin' the lies They easy to manage wit' a strategic advantage Real knowledge camouflaged and hidden God-forbidden; like Nas, was written In code, for a chosen few in the dusty books And you still wonder why I don't trust these crooks False prophets are profitin' from teachin' the godly fraud Empty rhetoric; pastors and pimps be sellin' it Some say that I'm crazy and radical For all I care, they can go take a sabbatical Supposedly, to reach God, there's only one way That's to go to church; prayer every Sunday But I was born divine wit' an immortal mind If I look inside myself, God I'm sure to find Of course God is in accessible reach But neither the preacher nor the professor will teach Only significant portions of twists and distortions Knowledge of self comes when you follow yourself; no preacher No, no, no... preacher! No, no, no... preacher!
