Church mess

Church mess

Church mess


The Preacher says “we need more leaders”
But I'm lead to believe he's looking for more believers
A few lack luster achievers maybe a few thief-ers
Dipping in the collection plates filled by collective faith
Hoping to buy their way to heaven bypassing buying that new 911
Or the future of their own children's tomorrow
Letting this man talking for God borrow a few dollars
So when he follows his speeches with who's in need of saving
I think to myself the money in the church is going straight
To his BOYFRIENDS Le Saber
As they give each other the eye as he directs the singing
The preachers wife is mad as hell but she is getting really nice
Coming to church in her nice tight dress
Heals and freshly done nails
Smiling at all the brothers holding the hand of her man
But she's of course giving the glory to another
Scream JESUS when she isn't at church
As another man other than the pastor lays hands all over her
Mean while I sit in the back wanting to ask some question
Like “who made God, and who made WHO MADE GOD”
Instead I sit quietly knowing when I move out my mothers house
I will no longer be stepping foot into some one else SO-CALLED holy house
When all I see is the devil dancing
And sister Nancy pretty much dropping it and shaking it faster
Try to get the attention of the pastor
Who eye's are on the booty of the man who his wife calls “that bastard”
While she winks at brother Jenkins stuffing another $20 in her Victoria Secret bra
Which is not such a secret to all because I see it all
Waiting wondering wishing the doors of the church would hurry up and open
So I can run through the opening and carry my behind home.

LOL! im happy about that. I myself dont know much about church, since my parents, uncles and aunts are all atheist, i been there almost exclusively for weddings, funerals and touristic visits.
I guess its not about church itself tho, but about the funny/brutal hypocresy u can find in this kind of places sometimes. Its about society, human beings, moral and double-standars.

Loved the "virginia secret's bra is not such a secret to all cause i see it all" part very clever.

That's the new long-existing word ;)

Hey Jalili, hey Elisa...how been ?

As a high off atmosphere spiritual guy, I just feelin like sharing this :

The Font
( T. Fila Kazi – M. Archer / T. Fila Kazi – M. Archer )

(Believer)_So it was right, he needed a beauty to be by his side, no matter what she barfs ?
(Tedjie)_Yeah !

(Tedjie)
First off, never try to remove his confusion.
He’s too happy in it, he may think you’re his salvation.
And when the notion shows up, he’ll be like you’re his reflection.
“Save-yourself, I kill you first”, missin’ out his illusion.

(Tedjie)
Too funny how he mistakes what he doesn’t want
And what he could get if he didn’t front
At his own laws made up by His won
Undeserveness and inability turned in font.

(Believer)
He thinks nothing can harm him in his surance
And forgets he crosses the people with stone’n their hands.
Everywhere his confusion, any third party’s his reflection.
That’s how it goes between God and his creation.

(Beleiver & Tedjie)
Who believed ? If he runs after what he’s offered.
No one could take it as an achievement that’s garnered.
Just the same long-lasting theologers, so unflattered,
Will find a reason to his happy-go-lucky in life-settler dirt.

(Tedjie)
Too funny how he mistakes what he doesn’t want
And what he could get if he didn’t front
At his own dogmas made by his one
Misaddressing being and non-calculating font.

(Tedjie)_Second off, he won’t take that sticker away.
(Believer)_He prefers to be the one that suffers away.
(Tedjie)_Tries to come back but the sight’s too dirty.
(Believer)_It was your strife, now the cluer will see.

(Beleiver & Tedjie)
We’ll see nothing that fits a psyche.
We’ll see nothing that grips me lady.

(Beleiver & Tedjie)
Who believed ? If he runs after what he’s offered.
No one could take it as an achievement that’s garnered.
Just the same long-lasting theologers, so unflattered,
Will find a reason to his happy-go-lucky in life-settler dirt.


---------------------------
The problem must have been mine, milleniums ago,
Here below's my shy share of how Holie Spirit's been butterflyin'
Yep, God on His Way of also becoming a caterpillar...But the Happy Ending Is Soon Overscheduled

PEACE TO ALL RELIGIOUSTIC PERSONS !!!
