I scrolled through the holiest scriptures
Studied the prose to scope the cons in it
Was confident I'm competent
In conquering the common sense
The consequence of complicated contemplation
Concentrated, consecrated, conscious efforts
Shepherds no better than the tended flock
Led them by the letter to the desert
Generations lost
Representing god, but lacking knowledge and credentials
Overzealous and contentious
Overselling their potentials
So who am I to play the nemesis?
A pessimist with blemishes
I'll preface with my genesis
I wasn't always analytical
Was reverent to the biblical
I'm cutting this umbilical
Was born again a new man in my early adolescence
Preaching from the television got me interested
Gifted with the great I Am...
A sinner intercepted
Drowning in the sound waves, my blessed intervention
Had to pause and just breathe
Leagues be deeper than my fathoms
And I started spitting water swallowed at my baptism
Kept my craft drifting
Dipping my toes in the cold stream
Now it's full steam
Rowing with pulpits, the whole scene
Church
No love for the godless system
No love for these thoughtless droves
Role models rep bad religion
Fat sheep can't recognize goat
Don't save 'em
They won't wanna be saved
Don't save 'em
They won't wanna be saved
Don't save 'em
They won't wanna be saved
Don't save 'em
They won't wanna be saved
