Pops was off the hook  but had a bible toting mama
 Sunday school BTU was a must plus I'm inertia
 Wondering why my dad don't come to church plus he hurts her
 All repetition till I'm 12 years old
 Preacher kickin' old time religion  hit me dead in the soul
 And now I'm up at the altar
 Choir blowin' that way in the water
 Lord help me
 Reminiscing on innocence this pillows soaking
 That's when my mom left my pops, brought me to Oakland
 Negativity hitting me from every angle
 Could've sworn the devil sent his every angel
 In this strange old land, I see I'm fallin'
 Moms keep stressing me, stop ignoring my calling
 But something in me keeps runnin' like I need to go
 They say you reap what you sow
 Black people what

 Chorus

 The ending has come
 The moonlight is gone
 Look up high, you'll see his arms
 Say not for you
 But still it's true
 Will you be waiting when he comes

 Romans 10 to 9
 Says believe it with your mind, and
 Confess it with your mouth, and
 You will be divine, and
 I'm still kickin' on the altar
 Cause it sure hurt me when the preacher turn to me faulty y'all
 Made me feel more comfortable about my backslidin'
 G's don't get to heaven so stop hidin'
 Everybody that was raised on prayer is now a player
 You can call me a square
 If I don't care
 Then your soul's on my backside
 And who gonna show them kids how to act right
 Last days, these days be the last ones
 Fast ways erased cause we passion
 For the man there's no way we gonna get high
 Not by smokin' on that bomb, but up in the sky
 It's not hard but he gave us a chance y'all
 God bless every man in the sound of my voice
 It's the second sermon

 Chorus x2

 As we approach another day
 Guide are steps when we want another way
 As our brothers and sisters go astray
 Let's intercede, on our knees and pray
 And as the congregation stands
 Black people let us all join hands
 Choose the right of 2 lands
 So we can all see the man
 It's the second sermon

 Chorus x2
