Verse one:

Listen to the preacherman
But are you talkin’ to me
I can’t hear you with a mouth full of pig’s feet
If i should need the swine flesh
Your body is a mess, but you’re blessed
With a father, son, spirit and the holy ghost
But my whole neigborhood is comatose
Lookin’ for survival
The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible
400 years gettin’ our ass kicked
By so-called christians and catholics
But i watch ’em burn in a fire
See i’m a g, that’s why i ain’t in your choir
Cause i see, cause i know
The church ain’t nothin’ but a fashion show
Get the devil to a 187
And they won’t call me a nigga when i get to heaven

Verse two:

You’re waitin’ for the devil to come from the ground
Clown, take a look around
Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin’
A beast in sheep’s clothing
But i’m rollin’ with that knowledge of self
Cause heaven ain’t just wealth
So mister preacher, if i couldn’t pay my tithe
Do i have to wait outside?
White man, please take another look
Cause we couldn’t be readin’ out of the same book
Cause youse a crook and i’m a brother
King james had sex with his mother
Is that your edition? is that your religion?
Black man, you gotta make a desicion
Cause god is comin’ on day number seven
And he won’t call me a nigga when i get to heaven

Verse three:

The same white man that threw me in the slammer
He bombed the church in alabama
So if i cock the hammer, god won’t mind
If i have to kill the human swine
Cause god is a killer from the start
Why you think noah had to build his ark
And god is a man from his feet to his hair
That’s why you say ‘amen’ after each and every prayer
I just stare at the church man
Spendin’ more money on the church band
But elijah’s got a plan
Got the white man screamin’: ‘damn that farrakhan!’
Cause one day these babies are uprise
Much more than bowties and bean pies
Kickin’ knowledge at 7-11
And they won’t call me a nigga when i get to heaven
