It's like say swear 2 God 2 atheist

Facin the clouds why I'm lookin to the sky
hopin to be seen by a God figure
buildin with a percent of who took his last and looked me in my eye and
said
I'm looking for God, your God nigga, damn
God body, God mody, God what did I do to slidy
what it shakes the, what was seen by Christ light
double shows the signs death the images of this quick success
to game this fell into rap and same old hour into tack
tack not strange except this stranger on the corner except
change except corner niggas diams anything to help
down only way is up, up only way is down
rich taking richy why the poor continue stayin down
I contemplate and concentrate, why we settle for section 8
the lunch and crimes that we ate for dinner date for roach and..
they creepin croll the night will fall despite us all
they say God loves us despite our falls

Hook:
Sometimes I feel like man I wasn't made for this
I grew up in the city that's the shadiest
I grew up in the city that's the craziest
it's like sayin swear 2 God 2 an atheist, swear 2 God
swear 2 God 2 an atheist, I swear 2 God
I say I swear 2 God 2 an atheist, swear 2 God
times man I feel like I ain't made for this
it's like sayin swear 2 God 2 an atheist.

So why you're ballin at the plaza
kids 2 and 3 dot every day out in Gaza
civil wars in caro and the buildings burn like piro
and the..are fighting for survival
the  priest follow sandasky and a drunk bishop say trust me
and I feel before religion stinks bad it's musty
survives from height that's survivors well maybe
in the port of princes so the tense and violence well maybe
my city acting third world 'cause the violence is a constant
and the violence is just nonsense 30  mow cities full of projects
and the police treat us like subjects
in the moment we say f*ck it they say f*ck it and they kill us Oscar
grand, rest in peace

Hook:
Bra, sometimes I feel like man I wasn't made for this
I grew up in the city that's the shadiest
I grew up in the city that's the craziest
it's like sayin swear 2 God 2 an atheist, swear 2 God
swear 2 God 2 an atheist, I swear 2 God
I say I swear 2 God 2 an atheist, swear 2 God
times man I feel like I ain't made for this
it's like sayin swear 2 God 2 an atheist.

Truth be told if they ever told the truth
Alex Hayley show their true hearts
in the movie roots tryin to given black thought
but they don't wanna learn their roots
all my life I've been pow, take off my head
cities now been roots, shoe fully this is me the message I can bay
but take a survey, someone say na, someone say ney
rose in the bay, who know if they
who know if they know my conscious this is like a conscious gift
the consciousness is like the conscious gift
but consciousness is coincidence
life that I've been living that's why I'll be on the bullshit
that's why all these songs go slide the way
but no I'm not ashamed over nothing I did
'cause what I did helped me take care of my kids
you did
but true fully, honestly if I was getting deep
I'll be somewhere like a tale
nt Kweli
and I just say that 'cause I was the famous line by Jay Z, shit
you're gonna ask my brodi KWEli
here tell you that I am deeper than that
I just got call it with the evils threat for the stacks
had to do what I had to do
