Of Angels

The meek shall inherit the earth
My momma said the world is mine and I'll get it at birth
My momma told me I'll be fine if I stick to my guns
But ain't no telling if I'll ever get to heaven
If they put one to my temple
Allah bless me
I'm an angel now

Jesus wept and let the rain come down
Caesar slept on Brutus blade
Who's to blame?
Is it fate or God?
Is it Cain or nah?
Is it Satan's fault?
What's at stake when the angels fall?
How we made of love but born in sin
Is that sound crazy at all?
When we die is there pain involved?

When will it all really end coz' see the bible and the shame is wrong
You mean the devil wrote my favorite song?
You mean the death was really Abel's fault?
He couldn't pray it off?
For a minute all my faith was lost
The devil had me on my knees
All I need to get these prayers off

Bent over backwards and the sins were gone
Happened so fast I almost skipped a part
Where we rescind the laws and built the hymns of the Lord
Quit the rapping, Split the rations
Hate what's happening coz' my saviour not a jealous God
She gave me music

Told me tell 'em I'm here
And if they doubt you told me tell 'em it's fear
Stand on that corner and cypher if you should be my disciple
That book of rhymes is your Bible and this is heaven I swear
Yeah this is heaven

And here we seek knowledge in trees
Leave the honey to bees
Leave the money to thieves
Man this is heaven in here
The medicine in the leaves
The potency's in the seeds
And baby everything's free just believe

Spark a leaf and part the seas
It's odyssey when you flow
Fast asleep the ark is easy far as prophecies go
And what's a demon to a preacher
There's no weakness in believing
Play the beat and dammit speak on what you already know

And how do miracles happen If this ain't spiritual rapping?
How much love have you actioned
Though you can only imagine
How many lives have you saved?
What's the price that you paid?
Yeah you showed them the way
But did they know they were slaves?

Coz' that's the only way to know if they'll be shackled again
I seen 'em lose it but the music brought them back from the dead
It's resurrection coz you wreckless with that pad and that pen
You gotta pension for the tragedies friend
