religion is prison
the people locked up in different divisions
some of them promise you

imperialism in the of spirituality
slave mentality, reality
we supposed to just suffer and smile and be content?
sendin our prayers to the (stic.man - uhn uh)
i my heaven now, freedom on earth
and if the preacher with us, then we takin his church
what is it worth to have the religion
when the people got miserable living
no water, no lights, no
all over we fight, but we have to unite
cause ain't no power in the
when the puttin powder in his nostril
and the elder's council fails to
and the suffer from daily need
and the can barely eat
is it a sin to up
to against the ones that put is in handcuffs?
goddamn, what happened to the bread, spread love
and not what the bible said, but in the of the bible
how much love is compared to how much blood is shed
