I've never really had a religious experience
in a religious place
Closest I've ever come to seeing or feeling
God is listening to rap music
Rap music is my religion Amen
What I say might save a life what
I speak might save the street
I ain't got no instruments but
I got my hands and feet
Hands gone clap and feet gone tap
El P beats to make that snap
And I ride them with my raps
and they all tight as my naps
And my naps is all I got and
this beautiful ebony skin
And the music in my heart and
the words put in the wind
And the words put in the wind
coming back like a boomerang
When I take this microphone
point it at the crowd they start to sing
This is jazz this is funk this is soul this is gospel
This is sanctified sex this is player pentecostal
This is church front pew amen pulpit
What my people need and the opposite of bullshit
This is jazz this is funk this is soul this is gospel
This is sanctified sex this is player pentecostal
This is church front pew amen pulpit
What my people need and the opposite of bullshit
It's that Robert Johnson that Muddy
Waters that James Brown Augusta GA
That Ray Charles that Stevie
Wonder that Mayfield that Superfly
That Willie Hutch and that Mack
it's that blues man that soul man
That OutKast that Southernplayalisticadillac
It's that Jimi Hendrix that George
Clinton I feel it in my bones
Aretha Franklin that Shirley
Caesar that Miss Nina Simone
That Sade that Love is King that
Coltrane that Love Supreme
That Miles Davis that Bitches Brew
that beeeyatch said by Playboy Too
This is jazz this is funk this is soul this is gospel
This is sanctified sex this is player pentecostal
This is church front pew amen pulpit
What my people need and the opposite of bullshit
This is jazz this is funk this is soul this is gospel
This is sanctified sex this is player pentecostal
This is church front pew amen pulpit
What my people need and the opposite of bullshit
I got things to do before
I meet that glory in the sky
And my baby girl b day be six
months away she gonna be five
So I pray to the lord he spare me
and I make it by and by
And I help souls stay out of
Hell with what I testify
And maybe when I grab
the microphone and never lie
That'll merit that he spare me
I won't have to feel that fire
So Killa Kill gonna spit that real
on each and every song
And each and every poem until
the good lord call me home gone
This is jazz this is funk this is soul this is gospel
This is sanctified sex this is player pentecostal
This is church front pew amen pulpit
What my people need and the opposite of bullshit
