Tell It Different

Whats the basis of God? Whats the basis of God, i'm living life at the odds Painting pictures of my life and you give me facades I'm talking death and destruction, disease and corruption And all y'all selfish Christians talk belief in the Bible And you don't want to tell me how to clean up on my flaws How to stop the war zone, these drugs that we die for How to make the money, you be gunning for my tithe though The hood tried to raise us, so we thug for that life though Try to be a real nigga, die for the Hilfiger But it don't make sense if God trying to heal niggas Unless he's selective, then gain my perspective Then tell us how to die, really ain't no escaping This 3:16 should never read "Whosoever" Put it "Middle Class" we coming in last Live as a slave and die as a broken man You claiming love, but really can you tell it different? Man I told it different Man I told it different Look around, man I told it different Man I told it different I know! In life there's a higher power You can read it in the text, Buddha and Muhammad And then we got Jesus, they're more than just leaders We talk a thousand angels then we talk of one demon I know there's truth in it, here's my proof in it The whole world know we wrong, so we move different And I can never impose my thoughts or level with yours Or maybe put us at odds, cause I ain't moving with y'all But maybe you can listen, I tell the crucifixion How I believe in Jesus, not in modern day religion And then I tell it different, cause I ain't perfect even And I ain't trying to paint a picture that I ain't living And if I die I know, I ain't faked on my religion You can sing em songs ain't changing your religion You gotta think different, and then it comes to living You can talk it and never ever tell it different Man I told it different Man I told it different Look around, man I told it different Man I told it different
