[00:23.34]Talk is cheap, that's why I be delving
[00:25.44]Below Kelvin 273, I'm helping myself to
[00:28.33]Everything nutritious to my mind, soul, and body
[00:30.28]I be skeptical of them camaraderies
[00:32.63]Watching over me Big Brother, clockwork orange
[00:34.83]Feeding me knowledge, less of me and more of institutional garbage
[00:38.59]The wattage, excitement level close to zero, and that's being modest
[00:41.23]From being the broadest, to being the most anal
[00:43.83]Balancing extremities so they know, let 'em know what time it is like Seiko
[00:46.73]I don't submit to anybody's way but God's, I day-glow
[00:49.31]When I stay close to supernatural to make sure
[00:51.45]It's not emotional Oh praise the Lord! with no devotional walk
[00:54.71]On a narrow asphalt path pilgrimage to the righteous one
[00:58.35](I'm losing it, I'm losing it)
[01:00.15]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see the light
[01:04.40]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see what's right
[01:09.37]It's a human tendency to want to blend in with
[01:11.56]The rest of them crowds in length and width
[01:13.61]Punctuating every sentences with a curse
[01:15.80]Exaggerating use of "y'nah mean?" and "word up!" per every verse
[01:18.55]No sense of giving birth to pioneering concepts, forever talking about
[01:21.80]Guns and ammo's bomb threats banks and hoes
[01:24.40]Every relative's a convict, Lochness! I'm a monster type of nonsense
[01:27.64]Too many wannabe's who can't be, and shouldn't be
[01:30.04]Who fabricate reality, be all you can be! ~~ and not somebody else
[01:34.00]I pronounce the cult of Hip Hop that give props
[01:37.40]To only underground emcees, whether they dope or heinous
[01:39.25]I say this, only to unlock the matrix
[01:41.70]Of stereotypes and prejudice you respond to stimulus, you figure this?
[01:46.51]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see the light
[01:50.91]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see what's right
[02:05.19]How many fallin' prey to institutional
[02:07.09]Dry, but accepted-by-society, goody-two-shoe, provisional
[02:10.03]Religion, far from reality and inchin'
[02:12.33]Closer and closer to business (what is this?)
[02:14.28]Cloning is the forte, wider to doorway to Gehenna
[02:16.68]Every being born a sinner
[02:19.82]Becoming mad religious for what? religion's sake?
[02:21.08]Not for God? anticipate disaster
[02:23.22]Who's your master? money, fame, or power?
[02:25.38]Flatter me, you're Cleopatra, no gracious, de nada
[02:27.88]Religiously we go to church, religiously we go to work
[02:30.72]Shop and splurge, curse, and do other worse things
[02:32.96]Fake bustas talkin' about, trust us!
[02:34.71]But I see you're just unnecessarily illustrious
[02:37.01]Although my faith is like a mustard-seed
[02:39.26]I be restless until I see justice
[02:41.40]Does this stark reality have to remain?
[02:43.75]Or is it just that the grass seems greener on the side of being mundane?
[02:46.40]Take a step back, observe the bigger picture
[02:48.44]And gain wisdom: you've been a spiritual fixture!
[02:51.19]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see the light
[02:55.39]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see what's right
[03:00.14]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see the light
[03:04.52]Gotta lose my religion, gotta lose my religion just to see what's right
