Mic check, one two, one two
This dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle
She a Holy Roller now, turned over a new leaf
Now e'rything old gon' burn, please help me not do it again

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel
Wit'cha Bible out shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Mid-life, reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe I'm goin' to Hell

Yo, I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school
And Easter speeches, the Bible was survival
That's what my grandma would teach us since I was 5
I've been dyin' and tryin' to read it and when I did, it redefined it

Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces
Wife two times with two guys, now enlightened the speeches
Seem to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher
Took your whole life to reach ya, now I'm a triflin' creature?

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel
Wit'cha Bible out shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Mid-life, reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe I'm goin' to Hell

C'mon, if I die right this second, I reckon that God
Would simply check into my life and times, dissectin' my rhymes
He'll see how I've been leadin' his troops
You can't do dirt your whole life and say, oops

Now where was Jesus when you was cheatin' and you was deceivin' me?
Where was Jesus when you was greedy, your lawyers was bleedin' me?
Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man was livin' wit'chu?
Oh wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' you

Now where was Jesus when you was lyin' and you was betrayin' me?
When I was tryin' to make it and you was hatin' delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrillin' ya?
Oh wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' ya

If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no tellin' where we'd be
It's been nights I felt like beasts, I needed to fight to release it
I'm in the limelight, it's hot and the heat is ceaseless and
Holdin' my tongue while lil' bums cut me to pieces

The only reason's 'cause I studied the life of Jesus and
Ventin' with my pen and intendin' to write and release it
But when an ex-friend slight me and slam me pretendin'
I hate it, I can't stand, damn it I really resent it

I always strive to be righteous, my version of God
The reason why I never write rap verses with curses inside
The reason I never purposely hurt person I've replied
Many teachers of God, searchin' to reach as a God

Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissin' me
I adore you, all I hope for you is freedom from mysery
You made mistakes and blunders, you breakin' from under but yo
If I'm goin' to Hell, it's makin' me wonder

Now where was Jesus when you was cheatin' and you was deceivin' me?
Where was Jesus when you was greedy, your lawyers was bleedin' me?
Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man was livin' wit'chu?
Oh wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' you

Now where was Jesus when you was lyin' and you was betrayin' me?
When I was tryin' to make it and you was hatin' delayin' me, huh?
Where was Jesus when the ice was thrillin' ya?
Oh wait, he was with me, tryin' to keep me from killin' ya

The greatest atrocities ever committed
On this planet have been in the name of God
This country was founded by the Puritans
For the express purpose of oppressin' free worship

Your attitude is the same arrogant fearful fundamentalism
That fueled the hatred, of the Crusades and the attacks of 9/11
If we are not allowed to worship God as groups and individuals free from
Persecution and respect for tolerance, there's only one outcome

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel
Wit'cha Bible out shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Mid-life, reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe I'm goin' to Hell

Yo, Ms. Holy Roller, new angel
Wit'cha Bible out shoutin' and you ringin' a bell
Mid-life, reborn and can't wait to tell
If I don't believe what you believe I'm goin' to Hell
