Soapbox Edition #16: Mechanical God {Da Remix}
peep the preacher-predator
preying on prayers
selling theological bullshit
straight outta the pulpit
Mr.501C-3 culprit
collecting government approved welfare
using psychological warfare
speakin in fraudulent tongues
to a seance hung on charismatic conveyance
workin the church like a convenience store
with the band playin in sync
to his sapiosexual idiosyncrasies
the inconsistency of his spirituality
and materialistic lifestyle
immaterial to the throng of worshipers
content with the lack of fulfilling content
they just came to see the pastor perform
his scheduled Sunday miracle
as they pass the collection plate
from left to right gettin hysterical
from his lyrical manipulation of the word
pimpin the holy ghost
watchin it move from host to host
passin out happy feet and hands raised in praise
Mama Jack passin out
her face glazed in sweat
the choir singin back up
for such a glorified liar
i'd say he dancin like that
cuz his pants must be on fire
and auntie'd say 'lawd have mercy
boy don't yu be startin no controversy
up in hea,ya hea?'
so i sarcastically apologize
as they blindly idolize
this man who would sodomize
the minds of the weak every week
every breath that he speaks
is designed to align him with the divine
his intentions were never of pure benevolence
more of a clever transference of reverence
to the reverend that is he
this malignant tumor of humanity
indignant..draped in vanity
as if holier than thou...how?
cow to that..bow to that?
pledge a vow to that?..never!
might have to sever ties with the family
intuition never lies
so sacrifice the amity
gotta listen to calling of the inner
risk being called a sinner..a blasphemer
but in the end
the soul has got to be the winner
for the boy who cried wolf
amongst a wandering herd of sheep
who is either truly sound asleep
blatantly oblivious to the obvious
or just too broken and afraid
to take responsibility for the writing
that is clearly written on the wall
for all to see..
