Ms. Holy Roller(Album Version)

歌詞

(INTRO) Mic check 1, 2.. this is dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle...She a Holy Roller now, turned over a new leaf. Now everythin' old gon' burn. (CHORUS) Ms. Holy Roller, new angel, got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bell mid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell, if I don't believe what you believe, I'm going to hell... I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school & Easter speeches The Bible was survival, that's what my grandma would teach us Since I was 5, I've been dying and trying to read it When I did I did, it redefined it Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces Wife two times, with two guys, now enlightened in speeches Seemed to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher Took your whole life to reach you, now I'm a trifling creature (CHORUS) Come on, if I die right this second, I reckon that God would simply check into my life & times, dissecting my rhymes, he'll see how I've been leading his troops You can't do dirt your whole life then say "oops'! (BRIDGE) Now where was Jesus, when you life then you was cheatin', when you was deceiving me? Where was Jesus when you greedy, your lawyers was bleeding me? Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man living with you? Oh, wait he was with me, trying to keep me from killing you? Now, where was Jesus when you was lying & you was betraying me? When I was trying to make it, you was hatin' delayin' me, huh? Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you, Oh, he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you! If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no telling where I would be It's been nights I felt like feces; I needed to fight to release it I'm in the limelight, it's hot & the heat is ceaseless, Holding my tongue while little bums cut me to pieces The only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus & Venting with my pen, intending to write & release it But when an ex-friend would slight me or slam me with venom I hate it, I can't stand it, damnit, I really resent it I always strive to be righteous, my version of God The reason why I never write verses with curses inside The reason I never purposely hurt persons, I've applied many teaching of God, Searching the reaches of God Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me, I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from misery You made mistakes & blunders, you breaking from under But yo, If I'm going to hell, it's making me wonder. (BRIDGE) The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet have been in the name of God This country was founded by Puritans, for the expressed purpose of oppression-free worship Your attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism that fueled the hatred of the Crusades & the attacks on 9/11. If we are not allowed to worship God as groups & individuals free from persecution, in respectful Tolerance, there's only one outcome... (CHORUS)
