[Intro]

And that's why the white church, unfortunately

Went along with slavery

Went along with segregation

Went along with lynching

[Verse 1]

All hail like wall Christ thought good life was n***a plating some jewels

Was poured in, almost bought in, sick of paying the dues

Now to eviscerating the booths, participating the rules

And your pockets deep, rock asleep, they wait 'til you snooze

When every fighter's a black knight, this ain't the day that I lose

I'm for blowing all out of proportion, no way to diffuse

Catch a hole over something old, then later it's news

My hardship keep the arts lit with science, the fate of a muse

Just stating my truths

They dirty birds, I'm impeccable

A nod to God, but in large part it's ancestral

Still trying to heal, so every meal start with vegetables

Stay on the shelf between selfless and what's best for you

[Hook]

Hope the sacrifice match the vice

Hope the sacrifice match the vice

Speak thoughts sincere to spare the soul

I pray every cross you bear is gold

[Verse 2]

Full of rage, trying to act "shalom"

Not acknowledged on the side of knowledge if don't pass it on

Ranked as anchor, who will I hand baton when the passion gone

Take the slave name to the grave, I'm the last age spawn

Discreet, not enough physique to have a leech latching on

For years only snacking on what I can catch in palm

Would meet opponent in heat of moment, nothing matched the calm

For a few a friendship true, def can't detach the bond

Made a pack, all I spoke is dope, but no tracks could harm

While the fools choose illusion, top hat, magic wand

Oppressed, the press only address how blacks respond

Here the deceivers can't believe in their Jesus, that's a blonde

[Hook]

Hope the sacrifice match the vice

Hope the sacrifice match the vice

Speak thoughts sincere to spare the soul

I pray every cross you bear is gold

Gold

I pray every cross you bear is gold
