they killed jesus - o'hene savant lyrics

verse 1:
i started writing gospel raps
and dealing with these hostile cats
and feeling as if god was mad
‘cause the people took me off his path
i was ‘posed to be like dr. king
but i let critics stop the dream
so i went from dr. king
to ‘forget y’all, i’m the king’
now i’m p-ssed off, kinda stressed
if the word was i’m the best
and the praise was hot to death
you would think not a lot was left
but it was ‘cause deep inside
i was sad ‘cause people died
in iraq and our leaders lied
and would act like the beef was ours
when it fact this was not the case
i don’t care if i’m not embraced
i don’t care if i’m out of place
all your weapons without a trace
9-11, the towers shake
in my dreams three thousand faced
isn’t it seems we’d vouch for satan
if it means he’d crown the nation
people please, save yourself from this h-ll
pray for help in this h-ll
raise from self just as well
for your sake you have to rebel

bridge:
see this, ye children, see this
weep if you feel me weeping
grieve with me as i grieve this
devious day that k!lled jesus

chorus:
sheda b:
lying, cheating and grateful for him
o’hene:
and they k!lled jesus
sheda b:
lying, cheating and grateful for him
o’hene:
and they k!lled jesus
sheda b:
lying, cheating and grateful for him
o’hene:
and they k!lled jesus
sheda b:
and worthy of those
he is given to you

verse 2:
there are children in palestine
who were born in the foulest time
who have sworn in a vow to die
in a war for their [?] pride
as they fight against uncle sam
but they might against uncle anne
auntie because uncle sam
says no it’s a local scam
all the while up in africa
families being m-ssacred
every week and we asking ya
‘would you rather see the last of us?’
you prefer it when we acting up
in a state you gave crack to us
firearms to the baddest bruhs
and we know who’s the last to trust
to the guy in the suit and tie
tell me why is the truth a lie?
tell me why must you shoot a guy
with the truth so the truth’ll die
maybe something is wrong with me
maybe i shouldn’t long to see
pretty leaves growing on the tree
while a bird sings songs to me
while the birth brings joy to me
while your hurt brings more to me
and our wars are destroying me
because all have recorded me
so i say

bridge:
see this, ye children, see this
weep if you feel me weeping
grieve with me as i grieve this
devious day that k!lled jesus

verse 3:
they don’t want us to live at all
in they world, they don’t see us, y’all
even though we too weak to crawl
and they claim to believe in god
i was raised to achieve for all
in the manner that jesus taught
even though people least regard
well at least ’til you breathe no more
tell me when will we learn to love?
and believe we can learn from love
‘cause it’s then we can turn to drugs
and the hatred to work for us
in the matrix they first discuss
how it’s made as a blur for us
and the agents a curse to us
but it ain’t yet occurred to us
so in closing i say to you
do what you’d have your neighbors do
in pursuit of a greater you
and the one who created you
for the son he was slain for you
as with all who became the truth
after all, when you’re slain for truth
you’ll be raised in a day or two
if you fight, even though it seems
difficult, even though it means
as the salt you must go to streams
where the water is not so clean
let it be

bridge:
see this, ye children, see this
weep if you feel me weeping
grieve with me as i grieve this
devious day that k!lled jesus

sheda b:
lying, cheating and grateful for him
lying, cheating and grateful for him
lying, cheating and grateful for him
and worthy of those
he is given to you
