Zemira Israel - Bury The Dead

Boy you betta stop talkin’ crazy like that
I brought you in this world, I’ll take you outta here
Come in this house with all of that Israelite stuff
Boy what’s wrong with you
We should be thankful for everything
We got it good here in this world boy
We’s come such a long ways
Huh,. You betta stop that crazy talkin
That bible stuff
What what!
The bible is the bible
It’s always read the same thing
Jesus loves everybody


I said Christ aint white momma.
And I know you don’t wanna hear nothin bout the law, but I gotta teach.
Hold up momma please. I ain’t finish. I ain’t finish.
Momma please you don’t never wanna let me speak.
Wait just listen.
I ain’t celebratin Easter. I ain’t celebratin Christmas.
Wait just listen.
I ain't celebrating nothin that the Most High God didn't say celebrate in the scriptures.
Now the only reason I ain’t even left yet momma
cuz I know you a slave like me.
And the only reason you ain’t even left yet momma,
cuz I know you just wanna be free.
So I’m tryna be the light in the night.
We can fight til the fight don’t need no mo.
And I’ma fight even if you can’t fight.
Imma fight tiI I think you can’t see no mo.


One out of a thousand
1 of a city.
2 of a family.
1/3 of a nation.
144,000 men.
12 tribes of men and women and children. Oh.


600+ laws.
for chosen and called.
His sheep hear His voice.
Gotta make a choice,
whether they hear or forbear
choose life or choose death
The Congregation of the dead
choose emotions instead.
Let them.


Bury the dead. Bury the dead. Bury.
Bury the dead. Bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Bury
Bury the dead. Bury the dead. Bury.
Bury the dead. Bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Bury


The laws they give life.
And sin it gives death.
Why would you die little ones of Jacob?
When your father and mother forsake you my friend,
the LORD will take you up and give you hundredfold of them.
Forget what they say.
Just do what Christ says.
Let them bury the dead.
Endure to the end.
If you love them more than Christ,
then you’re not worthy of life.
Be a pilgrim in this land.
Even strangers to them.
Let them.


Bury the dead. Bury the dead. Bury.
Bury the dead. Bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Bury
Bury the dead. Bury the dead. Bury.
Bury the dead. Bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Let the dead bury the dead, bury the dead.
Bury
