Rely On [Album]

ethemadassassin: Growin up, moms had special rituals every sunday morning, (every Sunday) singing hymnals, conjuring eggs and sausage and tang orange (time to eat) Reciting quotes like pork’s an abomination, but then ignore it, (but YOU said) told me the new testament said its ok if we just pray for it (pray for it baby) She said, thank god almighty, (thank god) because of him we are able (he gets the glory), but at 7 i questioned how its two books, if its just one on the table (thats two books?) she said the first book’s bout the law when god decided he’d create you, the second’s how it changed when he let Romans kill Jesus to save you (he did what?) But ma if thou shalt not kill and to only god shall we be faithful, why u praise him (why) but be havin seizures screamin Jesus thank u (why u be shakin?) She said get dressed before i spank u (what i say?) matter of fact today u volunteering to get all ya sins washed away my precious angel (what that mean?) That meant i was gettin baptized, i could finally take communion, but the thought of consuming jesus blood and flesh was so confusing (we eating Jesus?) So when pastor said the way to heaven’s thru jesus, do u choose it (uuuhhhhh) i said, man i’m 7 (i’m only 7) but moms’ll whoop me if i dont do this Hook: In a world full of problems, we just looking for answers, like how religion kill more people than cancer? (How) In a world full of questions, we just looking for solutions, learn how to count ya blessings amidst confusion, (count ya blessings) In a world full of division, how do we create unity, don’t let them infiltrate our community (no outsiders) In a world full of false prophets, how can i be a better man, is religion really the better plan? (Is it?) Born Allah: My step father gave us the teachings of Elijah but it all went out the window when he broke up with my momma I started going to Church with my Patna Deacon Cox baptized me dipped me in cold water I even joint the junior choir they shouted & caught the Holy Ghost they spoke in tongues but I ain’t understand it tho don’t think I wanted to all I wanted was to hung the Corretta after Sunday school came as I am, my mommas little bastard with his slacks creased up a dollar for the collection basket the choir sings so pretty the communion wine taste like grape mad dog 20 twenty I was living with my daddy when them five percenters got at me told me man was god & he look just like me. I thought it highly unlikely I could be the almighty until he quoted scripture that really strict a cord with me he said, Ye are Gods & all children of the most high that’s Psalms 82 verse 6, he did it again with John 10 verse 34 my whole mind was blown cause I was looking at the concept of God all wrong peace to the five percent the ones under the study, the poor righteous teachers who do it it for no money Tree Of Lyfe: Sometimes I pray to God I don’t know what to say to God Asked to be the boss but that shit is just a bigger job  Never went to church,  the Hall is just a different vibe  bowing down to men just ain’t my thing so I had to jog  tryna find the truth as a youth  these adults was lying  Was Jesus' hair like mines, or was it blonde? Is this world a test of time, and will I shine?  This the mountain that I climb how high can I  get before I reach the finish line  Is death a cruel defeat and when we meet, will I burn or rise a second time?  I feel like I been here before  life is such a crazy ride  the tears I cried could raise the tide and start a Flood like Noah’s I’m in a difficult spot, but who is not?  my flesh is racing my watch  my soul is boxed In  A million questions I got,  baby the plot thick  still it's all in my mind  maybe I got tricked... shit Hook: In a world full of problems, we just looking for answers, like how religion kill more people than cancer?
