[verse 1]

Yo my mental capacity's like an infinite universe

Where worlds collide and each thought's a star soon to burst

My temperament a lust for temptation's a human curse

I'm losing my religion through ghosts of a ruined church

I pursue and search for a higher power to guard me

Fighting with every violent instinct that's inside me

Before i was ever born in this war-torn society

Grown inside a womb that was filled with anxiety

I grew up drinking bottles of booze till i threw up

Smoking bags of fuel before school i was a screw up

Priests tried to reach me and teach me i wasn't listening

Like a wild horse they never can break and who doesn't discipline

Mother bitching and crying she's trying to answer

Her own demons my grandmother's dying of cancer

She lights another cigarette she's gonna be dead soon

She never weeps and sleeps with a cross in her bedroom

[chorus]

When i go to sleep my moms told me

If i prayed to god that he'd hold me

If death and sinning is a part of your life

Say a prayer for the body of christ to the body of christ

If i prayed to god that he'd hold me

If death and sinning is a part of your life

Say a prayer for the body of christ to the body of christ

[verse 2]

Yo i've learned to believe in good even the reason i could

But they nailed jesus up to two pieces of wood

And it's hard to find peace keep belief that i should

In this dirty game where everybody's feet's in the mud

I've seen people drowning in pain in the streets of the hood

I've seen a young man who's now laying deceased where he stood

I seen a government that's evil berserk people and fear

And every few blocks it's still a church steeple that's near

In this cold world of crack cocaine in cooking pots

Crime trickles down corrupt politicians to crooked cops

To know what time it is you just gotta look and watch

So i loaded up a gun and took a shot

The american dream fuelled by money guns hookers and drugs

Where our legends are thieves and criminals who took it in blood

In god we trust so close your eyes when you look at the sun

Say a prayer for forgiveness look at what you've become

[chorus]

[verse 3]

We live inside a holy war and it's survival of the strong

Tribalism rivals scripture of the bible and koran

Palestinians and israelis spill blood over holy land

And god when no one knows who he is really

We launch missiles killing maiming civilians

Try to poison our water and fly planes into buildings

Got me feeling like religion's full of miserable feelings

While the catholic priests is diddling children

This is where i confess i ponder the thought of a world that's godless

Till i saw my baby boy come out my girl i'm hard-pressed

To ever think that again look at this thing

Called life that we're living and we'll never understand

I suffered tragedies and pain i hurt people for personal gain

A stone thrower and a person to hang

Now i'm no longer a boy but i'm searching again

I guess that it's a personal thing jesus christ
