Im sorry half of church today's tradion...
Im sorry we aint sticking aint sticking to the mission...
Im sorry we interpreting the scripture....
Instead of reading through it through the lens of Gods spirit
---
& Im sorry, Its so many ears thats itching
He aint think about your soul, He was trying to make a living
& Im sorry, God did not get your attention
The way the church be talking, man I know its kind of hard to listen
---
& Im sorry..wait! Naw I think I need to finish
Fact that more aint thought like this before's why we in this condition
Cause light was made for sight in dark places..
& Im coming for my folk who got lost in night places
---
Price raises, light wages, write pages, sing songs
Heart races, tight spaces, try praying peace comes
Nice cages, mind ages, time facing freedom
Times are only getting worse, lose options, seek God

They digging these ditches, expanding these prisons & numbing our systems (We.Really.Need.God.)
They making provisions & chipping our children, castrating our men & (We.Really.Need.God.)
We live in a system where folks steady thinking the only way out, is winning scratch offs
We seeing division & losing our vision, we blinded by sight & can't see we need God!
---
I seen a pair of homeless men the other day...
Shared a couple dollars told em keep the faith...
..amazing how compassion change somebody's day...
But isnt that how we receive amazing grace?
---
& Im sorry, Im not sure how much it cost...
To spend some time with you make sure your soul aint lost...
Well let me borrow...I'll repay whatever cost...
Oh you sent your last $10 on a Scratch-Off!?
---
Wait, you spent you last $10 on a scratch off...
Got it back, but lost $3 with the tax off...
Ya check coming friday a couple stacks huh...
You tryna hit the booty bar and get these racks off...
--
Aight, well just before you begin...
Dont forget about my boi who died and rose for your sin..
Yeah unh-huh, I know, its a slave man religion
But the God I talk about so old a cave man could feel it
---
Plus I dont know a white guy who done gave what Im getting
Matter fact my knee was hurt, nobody gave me my healing
Talked to God next thing I know, there was no paing I was feelin
---
....so all that God aint real you can kill it
All Im saying is He love you way to much to send the bill
So you can pay it or owe him, His name is Jesus, you know em
Im just a waiter telling you that God is real.....
