about

In the vein of Tupac Shakur, 'Hypocrisy' is an open, honest, straight forward look at a glimpse of some of the ills that have/are taking place in our society as well as history in the name of religion.

lyrics

Hypocrisy

Serapis I ain’t havin’ that
You can go to hell with that
First off Madonna black
Jesus Christ what up with that
The greatest story that was ever told
Jah bless his soul
A man without his culture
That’s an easy man to control
Your Greco-Roman ology is sodomy
Salvation for economy
Forgery trace it to Ptolemy
That’s where it all started there
You ain’t never played it fair
What happened to the feet of bronze
What happened to the wooly hair
Fast forward 325 Council of Nicaea
Overseen by Constantine 318 it happened there
That’s where they slipped the image in
The image that we see today
Impression goes a very long way
(You don’t say)
From then on it’s been on
Wit’ yo’ cross in tow
And so on and so on
How far will you go yo’
Your dayz our numbered
See your reign of terror coming to end
Now let the chorus usher in

Foolin’ whom you can only lie to yourself
Think you in heaven but you livin’ in hell
God helps those who help themselves
Every empire that done rose done fell

In the name of your religion
And your crooked ass system
You done done so much killin’
That it’s hard to count the number of the victims
All I see conversion thru submission
Every time somebody speak out on it move the people
Come up missin’
Lyin’ in the same bed church and state
Jah watchin’ every move that you devils make
Yeah
Spiritually watch you castrate
In your plate I’m offering you a hand full of truth
Who is it you think you are
Could you be the Mourning Star
Lucifer himself in the flesh
Nah I can’t accept
Nah, the religion of Massa’
Rarely I’m I inspired by the pastor
Don’t take offense
Nah, ust let the new day commence
The Jah I know Him know no past tense
Him been ever since
The things you never taught the things you knew
The opposite you say is what you do
Foolin’ who

Foolin’ whom you can only lie to yourself
Think you in heaven but you livin’ in hell
God helps those who help themselves
Every empire that done rose done fell

I was schooled up in your classrooms
Sat up in your pulpits
Said my Holy Rosaries
Partook up in your Eucharist
Turned out you a hypocrite
You ain’t livin’ Christ like
Knew sumthin’ didn’t fit
You ain’t never seen the light
Nah, vacation bible schools and all that
Pentecostal, Baptist, Seven Day
Priest in black
Now my first eye see it clearer
Looked for God all over where
Found him my mirror
Yeah, now every mornin’ now that’s when we talk
Thank you for my blessins’
For my health
To guide me on my walk
I still got a long way to go
There’s so much I wanna see
There’s so much I need yo
There’s gotta be a better way
More than pray we gotta do
Realize that God live inside you
Teaching I and I man to live in fear
Let him that have ear let them here
Startin’ here

Foolin’ whom you can only lie to yourself
Think you in heaven but you livin’ in hell
God helps those who help themselves
Every empire that done rose done fell
