Will Smith - Ms. Holy Roller Lyrics
[INTRO]Mic check 1, 2.. this is dedicated to an old friend of mine, Michelle...[CHORUS]Ms. Holy Roller, new angel, got ya Bible out shoutin' and you're ringing a bellmid-life, reborn, can't wait to tell, if I don't believe what you believe,I'm going to hell...I've been down with Jesus since Sunday school & Easter speechesThe Bible was survival, that's what my grandma would teach usredefined itNow you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to piecesWife two times, with two guys, now enlightened in speechesSeemed to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacherTook your whole life to reach you, now I'm a trifling creature[CHORUS]Come on, if I die right this second, I reckon that God would simply checktroopsYou can't do dirt your whole life then say "oops'![BRIDGE]me?Where was Jesus when you greedy, your lawyers was bleeding me?Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man living with you?Oh, wait he was with me, trying to keep me from killing you?Now, where was Jesus when you was lying & you was betraying me?When I was trying to make it, you was hatin' delayin' me, huh?Where was Jesus when the ice was thrilling you,Oh, he was he with me trying to keep me from killing you!If I ain't know Jesus, ain't no telling where I would beIt's been nights I felt like feces; I needed to fight to release itI'm in the limelight, it's hot & the heat is ceaseless,Holding my tongue while little bums cut me to piecesThe only reason's cause I studied the life of Jesus &Venting with my pen, intending to write & release itBut when an ex-friend would slight me or slam me with venomI hate it, I can't stand it, damnit, I really resent itI always strive to be righteous, my version of GodThe reason why I never write verses with curses insideThe reason I never purposely hurt persons,I've applied many teaching of God,Searching the reaches of GodPondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me,I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from miseryYou made mistakes & blunders, you breaking from underBut yo, If I'm going to hell, it's making me wonder.[BRIDGE]The greatest atrocities ever committed on this planet have been in thename of GodThis country was founded by Puritans, for the expressed purpose ofoppression-free worshipYour attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism that fueled thehatred of the Crusades& the attacks on 9/11.If we are not allowed to worship God as groups & individuals free frompersecution, in respectfulTolerance, there's only one outcome...[CHORUS]
