KRS-One - Higher Level lyrics

Your rating:
After seven years of rockin'
 How do you rate me?
 Poorly or greatly?
 Everybody seems to be goin' for their's lately
 Yo mad heads be needin' money
 So listen very close as I conduct this little study
 See it's  funny to me  you can watch TV
 And give up your life trying to be all you can be
 In the Army
 Not knowin' your history
 You either fight and die or come back home in misery
 Yo get with me, I deal with reality
 Loosen your mind to the truth, and don't get mad at me
 No politican can give you peace
 If you trust Jesus, why do you vote for a beast?
 Emancipation is long over due
 So overcome procrastination
 Because freedom is within you
 For some reason we think we're free
 So we'll never be
 Because we haven't recognized slavery
 You're still a slave, look at how you behave
 Debatin' on where and when and how and what Massa gave
 You wanna know how we screwed up from the beginning?
 We accepted our opressor's religion
 So in the case of slavery it ain't hard
 Because it's right in the eyes of THEIR God
 Where is our God, the God that represents us?
 The God that looks like me, the God that I can trust?
 A God of peace and love, not mass hysteria
 I don't want a God that blesses America
 I could never really vote for the devil
 Let me take you to a higher level...


 Verse Two:

 Title, take the title from the Bible we can get there
 Rip the title from off the front of the Bible, God don't live there
 Too many inconsistencies, too many mysteries
 Picture the Pope and the Vatican, laughing and drinking and singing and
 Kissing me
 I stand with God whether I'm paid or whether I'm cryin' broke
 I like to ask these politicans would Jesus vote?
 The way we view God is a freakin' shame
 Church is to blame
 We trust God, but bomb Hussein
 We simply lovin' the scripture
 Same scripture that whipped 'cha
 Sooner it'll hit 'cha
 Religion's gettin' richer
 With that European version of Christ made into a picture
 Our society's gettin' sicker, and sicker, and sicker...
 Like liquor, we are God-Intoxicated
 Not to the true God, but the one the government created
 The same governments tellin' people to vote
 I pray to God because the people have lost hope
 You either vote for the mumps or the measels
 Whether you vote for the lesser of two evils, you vote for evil
 Politics and God are not equal
 But the education if you don't guard, is really lethal
 People have more respect for a holy book
 Than they do for a cow on a meat hook
 Belivers of Jesus be denouncing Satan on every level
 But every Halloween they're dressin' like devils
 I pray to you for the light you might give them
 Mother make them know that you're livin' with them
 You begin them and end them in silence
 Frankly, if they knew you, they would understand violence
 I pray to you for the Pope and the Vatican
 Have mercy Mother, cause I know that you're mad at them
 The White Jesus deceived us awhile ago
 And Pope Julius the Second paid Michaelangelo
 I know this happened in 1519 yet
 This is the image we can't seem to forget
 Vote for God, don't vote for the Devil
 Let me take you to a higher level
