Mic check, one two one two This dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle She a holy roller now, turned over a new leaf Now e'rything old gon' burn please help me not do it again Hook: Will Smith Ms. Holy Roller, new angel Wit'cha bible out shoutin and you ringin a bell Mid-life, REBORN And can't wait to tell If I don't believe what you believe I'm goin to hell Verse One: Will Smith Yo, I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school and Easter speeches The, bible was survival that's what my grandma would teach us Since I was 5 I've been dyin and tryin to read it And when I did, it redefined it Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces Wife two times with two guys, now enlightened the speeches Seem to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher Took your whole life to reach ya, now I'm a triflin creature Hook Will Smith C'mon, if I die right this second, I reckon that God Would simply check into my life and times, dissectin my rhymes He'll see how I've been leadin his troops You can't do dirt your whole life and say - OOPS Interlude: Will Smith Now where was Jesus when you was cheatin and you was deceivin me Where was Jesus when you was greedy, your lawyers was bleedin me Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man was livin wit'chu Oh wait, he was with me, tryin to keep me from killin you Now where was Jesus when you was lyin and you was betrayin me When I was tryin to make it and you was hatin delayin me huh Where was Jesus when the ICE was thrillin ya Oh wait, he was with me, tryin to keep me from killin ya Verse Two: Will Smith If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no tellin where we'd be It's been nights I felt like beasts, I needed to fight to release it I'm in the limelight, it's hot and the heat is ceaseless and Holdin my tongue while lil' bums cut me to pieces The only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus and Ventin with my pen and intendin to write and release it But when an ex-friend slight me and slam me pretendin I hate it, I can't stand, damn it I really resent it I always strive to be righteous, my version of God The reason why I never write rap verses with curses inside The reason I never purposely hurt person I've replied Many teachers of God, searchin to reach as a God Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissin me I adore you, all I hope for you is freedom from mysery You made mistakes and blunders, you breakin from under but yo If I'm goin to hell, it's makin me wonder Interlude Will Smith The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet have been in the name of God This country was founded by the Puritans for the express purpose of oppressin free worship Your attitude is the same arrogant fearful fundamentalism That fueled the hatred, of the Crusades and the attacks of 9/11 If we are not allowed to worship God as groups and individuals free from persecution And respect for tolerance, there's only one outcome Hook Smith Yo Hook
