When I Get To Heaven
Verse One:
Listen to the preacherman
But are you talkin′ to me
I can′t hear you with a mouth full of pig′s feet
If I should need the swine flesh
Your body is a mess, but you′re blessed
With a father, son, spirit and the holy ghost
But my whole neigborhood is comatose
Lookin′ for survival
The devil made you a slave and he gave you a bible
400 years gettin′ our ass kicked
By so-called christians and catholics
But I watch ′em burn in a fire
See I′m a g, that′s why I ain′t in your choir
Cause I see, cause I know
The church ain′t nothin′ but a fashion show
Get the devil to a 187
And they won′t call me a nigga when I get to heaven
Verse Two:
You′re waitin′ for the devil to come from the ground
Clown, take a look around
Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin′
A beast in sheep′s clothing
But I′m rollin′ with that knowledge of self
Cause heaven ain′t just wealth
So mister preacher, if I couldn′t pay my tithe
Do I have to wait outside?
White man, please take another look
Cause we couldn′t be readin′ out of the same book
Cause youse a crook and I′m a brother
King James had sex with his mother
Is that your edition? Is that your religion?
Black man, you gotta make a desicion
Cause God is comin′ on day number seven
And he won′t call me a nigga when I get to heaven
Verse Three:
The same white man that threw me in the slammer
He bombed the church in Alabama
So if I cock the hammer, God won′t mind
If I have to kill the human swine
Cause God is a killer from the start
Why you think Noah had to build his ark
And God is a man from his feet to his hair
That′s why you say ′amen′ after each and every prayer
I just stare at the church man
Spendin′ more money on the church band
But Elijah′s got a plan
Got the white man screamin′: ′Damn that Farrakhan!′
Cause one day these babies are uprise
Much more than bowties and bean pies
Kickin′ knowledge at 7-11
And they won′t call me a nigga when I get to heaven
