Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? | |
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? | |
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? | |
The only way to talk to god is in church? | |
Hah hah hah, you must be kidding | |
For years they kept god hidden | |
Look for god in self, not in what's written | |
Turn this up and listen | |
If your slavemaster wasn't a christian you wouldn't be a christian | |
*whip cracks* | |
If your slavemaster wasn't a christian you wouldn't be a christian | |
*whip cracks* | |
If your slavemaster wasn't a christian you wouldn't be a christian!!! | |
*whip cracks twice* | |
Your whole culture's missing | |
Hebrews are african, see they originated judaism | |
The belief in one god is monotheism, see the truth is not hard | |
All you gotta know is the facts | |
When religion mixes with politics... it all gets wack | |
You gotta know your history, or they'll tell you that god is a mystery | |
And when you're born, you're born in sin | |
That's bullshit. that's bullshit! | |
They're only saying you can't win | |
You can't succeed, you can't acheive | |
Don't ask about god, just sit there and believe | |
Well i ain't tryin to hear that lesson | |
Cause one thing i know | |
Cause one thing i know | |
Cause one thing i know is that the truth can always be questioned | |
Yeah that's how i'm livin | |
Ask and ye shall be given | |
When you're lyin, hah hah hah, you got no answers | |
You got handclappers and a whole lotta dancers | |
In the church or sanctuary | |
They all forgot jesus was a revolutionary | |
They all forgot jesus was a revolutionary | |
They all forgot jesus was a revolutionary!!! | |
That hung out with criminals | |
I would say read the bible but it's not the original | |
So it's really misleading | |
If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you're reading | |
If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you've read | |
You can't taste the nectar | |
That answers the question on why i do lectures | |
Cause where every mc claims to be the teacher, i be dissin professors | |
Keep that bible on your shelf | |
God helps those that help themselves | |
Stop reading from a dead book | |
Stop reading from a dead book for a live god! | |
You know how stupid you look! | |
God reads the bible with you | |
You both read the language of the devil that's dissing you | |
What can the next man do | |
With a bible in his hand that you yourself can't do? | |
Whether christian, buddhist, muslim, or jew | |
Burning candles don't get you down with the universal crew | |
So why you dress up on easter and worship a false mary | |
That looks like mona lisa? hah hah, damn you lost | |
On christ-mas, what's the purpose of santa claus? *bells jingle* | |
On christ-mas, what's the purpose of santa claus? *bells keep jingling* | |
On christmas what's the purpose of santa claus!!! | |
Or saint nickalaus, i'm sick of this wickedness | |
All revolutionaries check this | |
I'm not synthetic | |
I'm not anti-christian, anti-muslim, anti-buddhist, or anti-semetic | |
But i will set it off in the temple | |
Cause the real holy place is mental | |
The real holy place is mental | |
The real holy place is mental *starts echoing* | |
The real holy place is mental *echoing a lot* | |
The real holy place is mental! | |
The real holy place is mental!!! | |
Mental-physical, metaphysical |
