letra de testimony - keith phelps

[intro: church mother]
uh, if you would, please uh turn to page 256 in your uh real n-gga hymnal
oh, oh, oh, brother phelps has a testimony
uh, come on, bless us with your testimony, sir
let him use you, baby

[verse 1: keith phelps]
do woke n-ggas ever get to cash a check?
or do they just end up in a casket right next to malcom x?
i honestly need to know the way i should achieve
draw the thin line if would for me
between true ambition and what is known as greed
where do i stand? see, it’s the fifth that i’ma plead
cuz there’s a multiplicity of ways to define a need
how much is enough?
how much do they say is too much?
are n-ggas without sh-t really much better than those who rich?
i’m tired of debt
that sh-t is gross, not net
thought you should know
pentacostal theology taught me to hate what i was and what i would prolly be
yes, its christianity that gave me anxiety
and i’m just here to testify, thats what he has done for me
ha-ha-ha, not to keen on jesus
i kinda prefer yeezus
least he look like me
y’all changed the book on me
and had me on my knees
i used to beg and plead
when you come back for your slaves
and fly off into the sky
i’d like a window seat
and for all them f-cking tithes, i need to see some receipts
that mainline feel more like a burner phone
while i gotchu on the line tell me, is nat turner home?
tryna flame this sh-t up like we left the burner on
open up your mind like i cl!cked the chrome and gave you burner dome
started reading the fine print, that’s every clause
y’all sold me a savior bout as real as santa clause
arrested my people’s minds without probable cause
maybe that’s why we stuck
maybe that’s why i battle the habit of watching people f-ck
on the internet
google youtube preachers for alleged deliverance
what if y’all didn’t teach us how to be so fake?
or torture us with the psycho fear of making mistakes?
or mislead us with the concept of not-so-amazing grace?
come on and get a taste and see that you can really be free
you the original man
from his original plan
organized western religion is the original scam
this ain’t bravado this bravery
wouldn’t know about this sh-t if it wasn’t for slavery
no ain’t sh-t sweet, he mad, way too savory
don’t call my momma or my daddy talkin’ bout you really gon’ pray for me
stay away from me
he don’t make no ways for me
all he ever did was time and time constantly get in the way of me
so, clearly, keith is fed up with the church folk
but this is all that they really know
the result of being sold shackled and shipped on a boat
and once y’all finally realize who y’all are that’s when y’all neck’s in a rope
these days y’all go to church for the h-ll of it
pretty difficult to evangelize irrelevance
that and the concept of a white jesus
when you know he wasn’t the one who said he never gon’ leave us or forsake us
the way lebron left the cavs to be a laker
you think them colonizers really did you a favor?
i’m offering a chance a freedom any takers
so you won’t be surprised when you finally meet your maker
so you can keep your 10 percent you need your paper
receive this truth, turn to the side and tell your neighbor
the true elohim is about to approach the scene
i’m like a fiend, i only want the most high
this silly church sh-t ain’t even a close high
the set apart spirit not casper the ghost, bye
my cup is running over please pass me a coaster
i’m just thankful i’m getting to know the one true yah
