Krs-one - Higher Level Lyrics
Verse one:After seven years of rockinHow do you rate me?Poorly or greatly?Everybody seems to be goin for theirs latelyYo mad heads be needin moneySo listen very close as I conduct this little studySee its, funny to me, you can watch tvAnd give up your life trying to be all you can beIn the armyNot knowin your historyYou either fight and die or come back home in miseryYo get with me, I deal with realityLoosen your mind to the truth, and dont get mad at meNo politican can give you peaceIf you trust jesus, why do you vote for a beast?Emancipation is long over dueSo overcome procrastinationBecause freedom is within youFor some reason we think were freeSo well never beBecause we havent recognized slaveryYoure still a slave, look at how you behaveDebatin on where and when and how and what massa gaveYou wanna know how we screwed up from the beginning?We accepted our opressors religionSo in the case of slavery it aint hardBecause its right in the eyes of their godWhere is our god, the God that represents us?The God that looks like me, the God that I can trust?A God of peace and love, not mass hysteriaI dont want a God that blesses americaI could never really vote for the devilLet me take you to a higher level...Verse two:Title, take the title from the Bible we can get thereRip the title from off the front of the bible, God dont live thereToo many inconsistencies, too many mysteriesPicture the pope and the vatican, laughing and drinking and singing andKissing meI stand with God whether Im paid or whether Im cryin brokeI like to ask these politicans would jesus vote?The way we view God is a freakin shameChurch is to blameWe trust god, but bomb husseinWe simply lovin the scriptureSame scripture that whipped chaSooner itll hit chaReligions gettin richerWith that european version of christ made into a pictureOur societys gettin sicker, and sicker, and sicker...Like liquor, we are god-intoxicatedNot to the true god, but the one the government createdThe same governments tellin people to voteI pray to God because the people have lost hopeYou either vote for the mumps or the measelsWhether you vote for the lesser of two evils, you vote for evilPolitics and God are not equalBut the education if you dont guard, is really lethalPeople have more respect for a holy bookThan they do for a cow on a meat hookBelivers of jesus be denouncing satan on every levelBut every halloween theyre dressin like devilsI pray to you for the light you might give themMother make them know that youre livin with themYou begin them and end them in silenceFrankly, if they knew you, they would understand violenceI pray to you for the pope and the vaticanHave mercy mother, cause I know that youre mad at themThe white jesus deceived us awhile agoAnd pope julius the second paid michaelangeloI know this happened in 1519 yetThis is the image we cant seem to forgetVote for god, dont vote for the devilLet me take you to a higher level...
