Shadowman Boogie - My Religion

Listen, Jesus was a gangster who ran with twelve goons
Gave them boys the word and sent them to spread truth
Now I got myself a clan and we about to do what it do

I'm gonna get you the real until I'm crucified too
See, you may think I don't believe in God
I don't believe in laws
See, man's imperfect

He stands to reason
His rules are flawed
The FBI is on your phone and your computer, boy
And you just yapping away while playing your music, huh

Oh you a businessman
But that ain't their description
Cause everything against the law by simple definition
The cards are is stacked against you every day, so pay attention
You live in sin to make a living yet you claim you christian
And my belief is you should do what you love until it kills you
A legacy written in blood
Whatever put food on the table and a roof on the walls
If they say you can't have it, you should shoot for it all

My religion
Now I believe that if I live on my knees, I'm going against the will of God
But this is my religion
I'm sure we were born to die

So if I gotta go, I'm going hard
But this is my religion
I believe I was made in the image
And Jesus did his work in the streets

But this is my religion
I believe I got the right to live
Pray to your Lord and stop fucking with me
This is my religion

Now when Mohammed wrote the Quran, they said he couldn't read
And Samson fought the Philistines like he couldn't bleed
Now the devil's hard at work selling shit that I shouldn't need
But you know how it go

The pharaohs don't want us free
Cause in this democracy, dog and vole don't really count
So much hypocrisy
Freedom of speech, but watch your mouth

In this economy, you might as well go compromise cause your money ain't worth shit
These folks don't give a fuck about us
The judges and police work to enslave
And if you work a job every day, you so underpaid

And if you go against the grain, they'll lock you away
For the same laws they write and violate every day
America the beautiful
We religions to a republic that gives a fuck about our creeds

And if you want to know where Jesus is
He ain't a fool trying to get it with me
My religion
Now I believe that if I look on my knees

I'm going against the will of God
Oh this is my religion
I was sure we was going to die
So if I gotta go, I'm going hard

Oh this is my religion
I believe I was made in his image
And Jesus didn't just work in the streets
This is my religion

I believe I got the right to believe
Praise the Lord
Stop fucking with me
It's my religion

Now Solomon was the king who had to ask God for the wisdom
A soldier and a scholar who had a weakness for women
Once he acted over impulse
Women should have been children

Try built him a throne, but it was pussy that killed him
See me and my kind were vilified and hated
They happy to oppress us and blow they talks when we make it
Oh they do everything to test us

Shock when we don't take it
Desperation is a well-dressed bitch in hopes naked
And so I hope you truly heed my warning
Cause there's so many people out here who need some money

And crime and my country go together like bees and honey
Ain't no way you gon' survive without some easy money
So the cops, they's a criminal set
All goons, politicians, they are lies and thieves

Y'all fools, why you voting for these harlots
Haters, liars, and coons
They hunting some shadow boogie
Press it and choose my religion

Now I believe that if I live on my knees
I'm going against the will of God
But this is my religion
I was sure we were born to die

So if I've got to vote, I'm going hard
But this is my religion
I believe I was made in his image
And Jesus did his work in the streets

But this is my religion
I believe I've got the right to believe
Press it and choose my religion
It's my religion

What do you believe in
