Talib Kweli - Hell lyrics
Your rating:
We know that what we reap we sow But we forget how low we can go You think it's bad here on Earth But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Every Sunday dressin' up, catchin' gossip at its worst Couldn't see the difference in the Baptist and the Catholic Church Caught up in the rapture of the First Chapter and Second Verse If we all God's children then what's the word of the reverend worth Taught early that faith is blind like justice when you facin' time If we all made in God's image then that means his face is mine Wait or it's that blasphemy, it's logical it has to be If I don't look like my father then the way I live is bastardly Naturally that's confusion to a young'n tryin' to follow Christ Taught that if you don't know Jesus then you lead a hollow life Never question the fact that Jesus was Jewish not a Christian Or that Christianity was law accordin' to politicians Who was King James, and why did he think it was so vital To remove chapters and make his own version of the Bible? They say Hell is underground and Heaven is in the sky And they say that's where you go when you die But how they know? We know that what we reap we sow But we forget how low we can go You think it's bad here on Earth But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us I've been to many churches, I've quoted many verses I've dealt with my base self, I controlled my many urges I used to study my lessons, it was a blessin' not a curse I learned that heaven and hell exist right here on Earth, word Studied with Rastafarians and learned from the dreads That Hell is called Babylon And that's where them crazy boarheads dwell They got us thinkin' that Muslims like to make bombs But real Muslims believe in paradise and the resist the Shaitan So it all sound the same to me, that's why when they say One is right and the other is wrong, it just sound like game to me It's like God skipped past the church and came to me No, that ain't vain to me It's just a particular way that I came to see The difference between those who claim to be Religious and those that say they spiritual and recognize That life is full of miracles, you could see my glow in a rhyme The poem divine 'cause it coincide with a grow in the time That those who lookin' for God knowin' to go inside We know that what we reap we sow But we forget how low we can go You think it's bad here on Earth But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup Livin' in mass confusion, lookin' for absolution The gas induces psychopath, produce the last solution Based on his interpretation of what the words were sayin' Tryin' to get to God but ended up doin' the work of Satan Religion create division, make the Muslim hate the Christian Make the Christian hate the Jew Make the rules of faith that you condition to And gotta to follow and God forbid you go to Hell But if you ever walked through any ghetto Then you know it well [Incomprehensible] after me Preacher says, he's blasphemy I say there's gotta be a better explanation [Incomprehensible] you I pray that God hears you Take one look at your rear view And if you see what I see [Incomprehensible] We know that what we reap we sow But we forget how low we can go You think it's bad here on Earth But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us hell It's all goin' to hell It's all goin' to hell Yup, we livin' in hell Yup, they givin' us hell We know that what we reap we sow But we forget how low we can go You think it's bad here on Earth But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell Hell, hell, hell, hell Hell, hell, hell We know that what we reap we sow
