Our kids should be reaching for the stars not ways to repent
Why is the age to choose religion less than the age of consent?
They knew to teach you when you were gullible âgod is infallibleâ
Even though deep down inside it wasnât as logical
Lie after lie they told you â pathological
You knew it didnât make any sense; it wasnât possible
Another oxymoron; religious education
Classes on unscientifically biased information
If god gives you a brain but doesnât want you to think
Your god of gaps is no answer, heâs no missing link
Heâs an abomination like catholic confirmation
The lesson is not to question or rise above your station
Bible classes catechisms and ___ schools
Some generations will follow anyone, even fools
Some claim to have the only truth; a monopoly
But the most ridiculous thing religion tells to us is quite possibly:
âPut your trust in me, I wonât lead you wrong.
Just put your trust in me, how can you go wrong?â
They keep telling us:
âJust put your trust in us.â
keep telling us:
âWe wonât lead you wrong.â
They keep telling us:
âJust put your trust in us.â
keep telling usâ¦
Front line political warfare, I done been there
They loan money into existence out of thin air
Capitalism means fuck you theyâre gonna get theirs
Even if it means you die, they just sit there
Freedom and justice for the wealthy
Everybody else gets shafted and we think that this is healthy
Still on the reserve we just roam for acres
If you ainât white and middle class theyâll need to see your papers
Democrat and republican â the same party
Rep the movement of the people, Fela Kutiâs calling
I think they only want to polarize sides to vocalize
Thatâll change when we decide to mobilize
But as long as thereâs money, then they can be bought
As long as theyâre dummies they cannot be fought
They only want you as a drone playing your part
While the very leaders that mislead us stay the very same
They keep teaching us:
âPut your trust in me, I wonât lead you wrong.
Just put your trust in me, how can you go wrong?â
They keep telling us:
âJust put your trust in us.â
keep telling us:
âWe wonât lead you wrong.â
They keep telling us:
âJust put your trust in us.â
keep telling usâ¦
The labels make you think itâs fair game
Theyâve never been on the side of the artist from the start
Itâs a sham game
Thereâs a war on for your damn brain
And for the prize they throw everything at you; money and fame
Thereâs just some things money canât change
So think about that before you go and sign your damn name
You should run soon as you see them
Remember, they need you more than you need them
Forget em
You can do this by your goddamn self
They ask you to sign a deal tell em I canât help
This is for independent artists everywhere
Anyone whoâs been screwed by a label or ____
I suggest you boycott em forever to make it up
No more flippin of our free expression to make a buck
This is a moratorium on them enslaving us
Raping us
Yet after all we learn about how corrupt they are, they keep begging us:
âPut your trust in me, I wonât lead you wrong.
Just put your trust in me, how can you go wrong?â
They keep telling us:
âJust put your trust in us.â
keep telling us:
âWe wonât lead you wrong.â
They keep telling us:
âJust put your trust in us.â
keep telling usâ¦
