The Contrarian - Real Disciples

Trading coffee for lunch ain't seen the fucking sun in months
Want to escape but can't leave until I'm done
Maybe wasn't raised right, maybe I'm just dumb
Sitting here waiting on the Lord's Kingdom to come
Like the disciple that laid Jesus down
Feeling enlightened or am I just institutionalized now?
Getting ahead of myself so I just close my mouth
Knowing one day if I endure I'm a get to wear that crown
No kids no bill, it's almost as if I was free
Materialism my jail cell, or so it seems to me
Still living in hell cause I'm a man with dreams
Still trying to trade fools for eggs or instant coffee
Counting down the time until the day I can go home
Whenever you wait that way it makes the time go slow
Choices we made, the fact is we are all grown
Trying to stay sane in my own way, trying not to bitch and moan

Imagine how you'd feel if you laid Jesus in the tomb
Lie and cheat to rob, steal, kill, and maim; it's me and you
Given in to sinning, is it the life we choose?
All the real disciples been down now with nothing to lose

The only apostle that ain't been locked down was Judas
Some say fuck the police, some go fuck the huras
Whether kush or Arizona we all smoking buddha
Is it we who create the lifestyle that it choose us?
Meanwhile, we let all the leaders use us
And the news and media, they try to fool us
Our own family members try to sue us
For our very own souls, sometimes we lose us
Where do we go now, is there anything worthwhile?
I'm thinking out loud in the midst of the crowd
Back then doing drugs, getting drunk, just trying to wild out
Coughing up blood somehow, what do I do now?
Silence is golden, olden days they still strayed
Pestilence of stolen time; rats and roaches sprayed
They be trying to go for mine; Lord, alleviate my hate
Forgive them for they know not what they do, Father, give us our bread today

Imagine how you'd feel if you laid Jesus in the tomb
Lie and cheat to rob, steal, kill, and maim; it's me and you
Given in to sinning, is it the life we choose?
All the real disciples been down now with nothing to lose
