Devil's Advocate - Underground Rise
So I’m sitting having this argument with my man the Lord of Lords, And I’m like, “I copped your book, and got some questions I can’t ignore, “ First of all, why you gotta treat me the cruelest? Why you gotta do this? “ Acting surprised when I stumble going through this . . . when you already knew this!” He said, “First of all, why you think weightlifters continue to add more weight? “ How you expect to get stronger for great things. When you running from your fate?” “ Alright fine. But how about this? Where’s the proof that you exist? “ Now don’t get ticked – I’m just saying the devil is all up the mix; “ Babylon is sick – and I’m starting to believe what’s scientific!” He said, “Science?! Who you think is the original scientist? “ Who you think taught the atom to split? Who’s the surgeon that pulled the cancer “ Out of your moms when she was sick? Who keeps you strong when you’re gonna quit? “ That truck that almost hit you? Who you think whispered to you to move from in front of that? “ Who you think is blessing you with these hot raps over tracks by Tunnel Rats? “ Boy, I outta . . . look at you – got me worked up arguing with a man . . .” I said, “Alright, hold up God – I’m just trying to understand, “ For example, something else I don’t get – omnipotence? “ How you talking to me, and still helping somebody overseas out their predicament?” He said, “It’s not for you to get, but to trust! Like right now, your moms? “ Is praying for something she might not get if you keep carrying on.” “ Oh so you DO get mad?” “Oh, for sho’! But never without love.” “ You’ll still cleanse my sins?” “Most def! But never without my blood.” “ Well, I’m a good man – I go to church! “Church!? “ What you think? You just gonna listen to a preacher? Die and wake up on the Nebincaneezer? “ Please Kou! You’re life is the Matrix – I’m Neo – the One, “ The trinity, the holy spirit, the father, the son, “ Realistically, there’s no mystery. You’re salvation has been mapped out so simplistically, “ I’m amazed you mess up so ritually, “ But you don’t listen to me. I gave you the word, what you do? Interpret it wrong, “ Ate the fruit, killed your brother, now you complaining the serpent is strong?” “ Dag, you right God! I’m acting blind to my blessings! “ I’m a go do my assigned reading . . . I’ll get with you next session.” Devil’s Advocate.
