Body of Christ

[Intro] You go to church (you go to church) You listen to the priest and shit (our father) Whatta they call it, the sermon? (Forgive me for my sins) Here's my sermon (yeah) [Slaine] Yo my mental capacity's like an infinite universe Where worlds collide, and each thought's a star soon to burst My temperament, a lust for temptation's a human curse I'm losin my religion through ghosts of a ruined church I pursue and search for a higher power to guard me Fightin with every violent instinct that's inside me Before I was ever born in this war-torn society Grown inside a womb that was filled with anxiety I grew up, drinkin bottles of booze 'til I threw up Smokin bags of fuel before school I was a screw up Priests tried to reach me and teach me, I wasn't listenin Like a wild horse they never can break and who doesn't discipline Mother bitchin and cryin, she's tryin to answer Her own demons, my grandmother's dyin of cancer She lights another cigarette, she's gonna be dead soon She never weeps and sleeps with a cross in her bedroom [Hook: repeat 2X] When I go to sleep my moms told me If I prayed to God that he'd hold me (down) When death and sinnin is a part of your life Say a prayer for the Body of Christ, to the Body of Christ [Slaine] Yo I've wanted to believe in good, even the reason I could But they nailed Jesus up to two pieces of wood And it's hard to find peace, keep belief that I should In this dirty game where everybody's feet's in the mud I've seen people drownin in pain in the streets of the hood I've seen a young man who's now layin deceased where he stood I've seen a government that's evil, bezerk people in fear And every few blocks it's still a church steeple that's near In this cold world of crack cocaine in cookin pots Crime trickles down, corrupt politicians to crooked cops To know what time it is you just gotta look and watch So I loaded up a gun and took a shot The American Dream, fueled by money, guns, hookers, and drugs Where our legends are thieves and criminals who took it in blood In God We Trust, so close your eyes when you look at the sun Say a prayer for forgiveness, look at what you've become [Hook] [Slaine] We live inside a holy war and it's survival of the strong Tribalism rivals scripture of the Bible and Qu'ran Palestinians and Israelis - spill blood over holy land And God when no one knows who he is really We launch missiles, killin maimin civilians Try to poison our water and fly planes into buildings Got me feelin like religion's full of miserable feelings While the Catholic priests is diddlin children This is where I confess - I ponder the thought of a world that's Godless 'Til I saw my baby boy come out my girl, I'm hard-pressed To ever think that again, look at this thing Called life that we're livin and we'll never understand I suffered tragedies and pain, I hurt people for personal gain A stone thrower and a person to hang Now I'm no longer a boy but I'm searchin a-gain I guess that it's a personal thing, Jesus Christ~! [Hook] {*whispered 8X*} Dear God
