lyrics

Baptize
By: Professor Griff

1st Verse
In the beginning,Black voices sung
Scriptures we all clung, Rev, Spoke in tongues
From the Gospel, choir made it possible
Sick sinners are docile, apostle got hostile

Church verses, tithes, pulled from purse
Black hearse, it hurts, mu dear felt it first
Bow your heads, crown of thorns is red
sunDays we prayed, Heru rose the dead.

Faith on tape, humble is the mind state
Amazing grace soul, filled the place
Listen pay attention, ,Religious conviction
Stick to script, demons held detention

Mixed with myths.Lips spoke the evidence
Licks and testaments, riffs and resonance
Deacon board for sure, Finger boards and chords,
Libation poured on course ,Souls filled the dance floor

Bridge
Figures don’t lie, but lies do figure
Lies never cry but, lies pull figures

Hook
Spiritually transmitted
Disease for the Wicked
Religious you can get it.
The Sin you choose to hit it


2nd Verse
Church pews and dues,Se-cu-lar accused
Chro-matic Fragments, Boom Bap clapping
Altered eighth notes, quarter pitch semi tones
Pastor Pig-foot, Fake Script n throwing stones

Soul Velocity, test the patients
Temptation congregation face, Damn disgracing
Eve adams apples,Funky baptist chapel
Angel and tambourines, plate passed, dope Fiends

No pimpin pastor down to his last chapter
Facts fact or factor, Cash his check faster
Trade God for wealth, Sunday school taught us
Sons to slaughter,Sacrifice the daughters

Truth you tell, both heaven n Hell
Lie, nothing for a liar to tell, oh well
Churchianity Sunday school insanity
Pale god fallacy, Un-Holy tragedy

Brainwash flock, stock get props
First Ladies rock put Faith on the block
Praise n worship dancing, freaking decon’s phantom
Rebuked these temper tantrums

Bridge
Figures don’t lie, but lies do figure
Lies never cry but, lies pull figures

Hook
Spiritually transmitted
Disease for the Wicked
Religious you can get it.
The Sin you choose to hit it


Keep it G with me
Clutch, kiss your Jesus piece
tithes won’t uncover the lie
Hypnotize, now you’ve just been
BAPTIZED
