TrueMan Show

(album: DayBreak - 2020)

I voted pro life
I saluted to the flag
I listen to all your preachers, yea
Bring them Christian morals back
When they go left
You know we go right

At first I couldn't see your lies
You said we equally in Christ
'Til it's a black man's life (on the line) then the true man shows
To the Truman show
Welcome to the TrueMan show, aye
To the TrueMan show
Welcome to the Truman show, aye

Everybody saying peace peace
Black man killed in the streets
Black woman killed in her sleep
Now apartheid Palestine Middle East
And even while I'm sitting in the pews
Preacher keeps talking about looting
Had a lot to say about that but not about police shootings
Why is the U.S. flag in the foyer
While we keep talking bout Fourth of July
Who told us we should be single issue voters for the POTUS need to open our eyes
Why is the Christian position Republican
Religious liberty prioritized
Whatever happened to waving your rights
Sacrifice and all that laying down lives
They told us to follow the rules
That's how we fell for the ruse
But then I start catching the cues
Started to follow the clues
Is Sunday morning like a lullaby
When we sleep they preach another guy
Like a caterpillar turns to butterfly
They turn as callous then they customize

I voted pro life
I saluted to the flag
I listen to all your preachers, yea
Bring them Christian morals back
When they go left
You know we go right

At first I couldn't see your lies
You said we equally in Christ
'Til it's a black man's life (on the line) then the true man shows
To the Truman show
Welcome to the TrueMan show, aye
To the TrueMan show
Welcome to the Truman show, aye

I knew we had differences
I never assumed that the church was flawless
But this one was different
They recorded the lynching
All of us saw it
I thought the church would rise
Confronting racism this time
To rewrite the history lines
That Christians was getting it right this time
But what we do
Run to our tribe
Tell them to evangelize
Tell them to come and pray
While police out here hunting they prey
And people out losing lives
I finally see it that nationalism is posing as if it is one in the same
They calling it Christian but really it's different
A different religion that's using the name
It's really American
This is the heritage seminaries are not seeming to train
These future ambassadors sending our pastors under prepared and they're being ordained
If you're looking for me
I'mma be with the least of these
Cause that's what my Jesus sees
Who is my neighbor the person that's begging to breathe

I voted pro life
I saluted to the flag
I listen to all your preachers, yea
Bring them Christian morals back
When they go left
You know we go right

At first I couldn't see your lies
You said we equally in Christ
'Til it's a black man's life (on the line) then the true man shows
To the Truman show
Welcome to the TrueMan show, aye
To the TrueMan show
Welcome to the Truman show, aye
