Body Of Christ
[Verse 1]
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 losing my religion through ghosts of a ruined church I pursue and search for a higher power to guard me Fighting 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 drinking bottles of booze till I threw up Smoking bags of fuel before school I was a screw up Priests tried to reach me and teach me, I wasn't listening Like a wild horse they never can break and who doesn't discipline Mother bitching and crying, she's trying to answer Her own demons, my grandmother's dying of cancer She lights another cigarette, she's gonna be dead soon She never weeps and sleeps with a cross in her bedroom
[Chorus]
When I go to sleep my moms told me If I prayed to God that he'd hold me If death and sinning is a part of your life Say a prayer for the body of Christ, to the body of Christ
When I go to sleep my moms told me If I prayed to God that he'd hold me If death and sinning is a part of your life Say a prayer for the body of Christ, to the body of Christ
[Verse 2]
Yo I've learned 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 drowning in pain in the streets of the hood I've seen a young man who's now laying deceased where he stood I seen a government that's evil, berserk people and fear And every few blocks it's still a church steeple that's near In this cold world of crack cocaine in cooking 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 fuelled 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
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
We live inside a holy war and it's survival of the strong Tribalism rivals scripture of the Bible and Koran Palestinians and Israelis spill blood over holy land And God when no one knows who he is really We launch missiles, killing, maiming civilians Try to poison our water and fly planes into buildings Got me feeling like religion's full of miserable feelings While the Catholic priests is diddling children This is where I confess I ponder the thought of a world that's godless Till 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 living 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 searching again I guess that it's a personal thing, Jesus Christ
[Chorus]
