Gave Up On God

(アルバム： Livin' In The City - 2005)

All these people making choices with no cause and effect
Check saying their man is the best but yet they don't respect
They lie to elect then resent the rest, making god's whole world a mess
I say it again I make a wager that the saviour hasn't been back yet
We got many looking skyward like the man got a jet
You see it in the children's eyes within them they reflect the love that we forget
Bring me your poor persecuted huddled masses, put them through the system and kick their asses
Try to figure out why the double edge slashes while the white rich men get passes
We got a thousand year beef that's still a problem
Since 1945 we just threaten to bomb 'em
But now they're bombing back and still we ain't got 'em
You said never forget. but we've forgotten

Did you ever think the world would get so hard
Children killing children in our own back yard
Did you ever think you'd say that you gave up on god
Did you ever think the world would get so hard
Children killing children in our own back yard
Did you ever think you'd say that you gave up on god

Now try and picture this, through all of the mist
We're taking out hits, scratching dicks off the list
We're itching to piss off those kicks we just lift off
The kids that just let off the guns that we gift
The times that push cadence, reflect all the ancients
We try to have patience through all of the hatred
With all of this growing, it's out of control
I'm sitting on my sofa sedated
We got a lot in the way of achieving a state
That don't try to relate the temptations of fate
And what's made us great? All of this blood?
Is this how we court the houses of saud?
Well we're sleeping with dogs but detaining the pack
They're stealing my rights with the patriot act
With Washington running the drugs and the guns in
Sometimes I thank god we got crack

Did you ever think the world would get so hard
Children killing children in our own back yard
Did you ever think you'd say that you gave up on god
Did you ever think the world would get so hard
Children killing children in our own back yard
Did you ever think you'd say that you gave up on god...
