God Is On My Side

From Poetic Coup by Marvin D. Wilson (author's profile)

Transcription

God Is On My Side

The Bible speaks about these times about these crimes
How the devil captivates our minds and got us blind
That's why I bend sentences so you can read between the lines
Between the lies, get the who, what, where, when, and whys
I'm on the surface where men die, where women cry
For men that die in drug wars where gangsters and vice lords
Tip hats and tip crack where the game is for keeps and it don't give back
Where the system is against us, it takes us and sentence us
And it's meant for us to fail but we prevail against all odds
We in occupied territory but they tell a story of glory
And that's how we get the word history
Visualize ancient memories, memories that were meant to be
Erased through slavery, deliberately
Now we cradled by the great harlot or parliament
America is Babylon, some think I'm just babbling
But the battles on and your family foundation is breaking
'Cause social services kicked in your door like Iraq's illegal occupation
Telling you, it's a felon to discipline your own children
But how can we build them and prepare them for tomorrow
Without having to beg and borrow, showing then that power is ours
It's in the people in this world a fair share has never been equal
I said in this world a fair share has never been equal
So call me a commie and bomb me, terrorize my beliefs with words
And slurs and it hurts to be against the grain all alone
But I'm strong, I'm equal to a thousand warriors ready to battle
This is not my first rodeo, I'm already saddled
I'm tried and tested, relaxed and rested and ready for the next hit
I lost myself, my fear, my pride so I know that God is on my side
