This came together as I was having a lot of religious debates with fellow believers and non believers... They asked how I maintained my faith among blatant proof of God's nonexistence. Other asked how I could claim to be a believer and still sin (well, lol... sin differently than they sin. hahaha)... I noticed however...
That more atheist were staying around as friends and those believers who had built a wall around themselves has defriended, blocked, and disregarded my craziness...
Religion, is what you bring to it... if you are a bat shit terrorist ... then you will bring that... if you are calm... that is what it will be...
just remember... the world is getting tired of your shit without explanation.
So research... study... talk with people... don't call them wrong on something that you cannot prove...
Acknowledge their opinion... share yours... if they do not respect yours but demand your respect... THIS is where religion comes in...
HOW YOU RESPOND IS CRUCIAL. Apply what you learn to yourself... dont go blue in the face telling people how they should live...
Let them see how God effects your life... then, let them ask "how".
See how that works?
lyrics
* Whatcha posed to do when the world turns its back/
* Folk make jokes, poke and laugh, wheres the manual for that? /
* That book dont exist - stress tightens its grip/
* Will you quit n be a bitch or be a box nosed pit /
* careful who you bite, as one American in Asia:/
* Veterinarians on standby ready euthenasia /
* Hate ya - success / fakes say "youre blessed" /
* They only come to your race for the chance to see ya wreck/
* Thrive on that thought- feel alive on that thought /
* Shuck n jive in your eye, straight out lie to you boss/
* Show kindness to the lost - like youre blind to their faults
* so they can try to find a piece of mind in God
* 77 times 7 does heaven have a quota... ?
* If i do good to expect good, my holiness is over...
* Like a cobra i strike... Because a book does exist
* We aint had the same life, i dont expect youll understand it.
Only when you need something-
i got your attention
If you talkin you aint listenin , you too busy wishin
Only when you need something-
Do i see you askin how i'm doing,
How things going, but your true color showin...
* Stretched to the edge like a rubberband bout to break
* Rising out the lake i estimate, how my day
* Will portray - underlay - underlie - wonder why - others lie
* Unify -who supply- and cut ties
* Would you continue to help someone who is doing bad?
* Even if that person bit your hand, but still asked?
* Of course not ,but why not ,do you not offer assistance?
* only when you need something, i got your attention
* His existence just diminish like he had vanished
* Make ya feel like you just mistakenly bit a radish
* Read my lyric status, heed the apparatus
* And see to believe that you have theives on your planet
* Receive a transmission/ you cant listen if you talking
* Raising my suspicion - with your wishes and im walking
* All by myself, and others asking me about you
* So now my plans are without you- i doubt you.
Only when you need something-
i got your attention
If you talkin you aint listenin , you too busy wishin
Only when you need something-
Do i see you askin how i'm doing,
How things going, but your true color showin...
1. How, when and why - folk try to get in your circle
2. I creep like a turtle - southern as a crepe myrtle
3. Southern hospitality is a strength, not a weakness
4. Why do friends become leeched - like barnacles on my penis
5. High seas i see land over yonder on the way
6. Time to sit and ponder how i foster a new day
7. Dancing on the tips of fire, to not be a liar
8. Try hard to not be the same man i was five minutes prior
9. Attention, interest, desire... Situations transpire
10. When interest expires, what's left to feel inspired?
11. God is there whether you believe it or not
12. Sometimes we put him in a glass case believe it or not
13. To break just in case an emergency takes place
14. foresake keepsakes and shape God as a cheapskate
15. God is not a sweepstakes we all want rewarded for nothing
16. So when do you pray? Only when you need something....
Only when you need something-
i got your attention
If you talkin you aint listenin , you too busy wishin
Only when you need something-
Do i see you askin how i'm doing,
How things going, but your true color showin...
