Man vs. God

(Verse 1)
Ayo I’m from America the melting pot of beliefs
Full of different points of reference and I’m conscious of each
And I’m far from a priest so I’m not gonna preach
But some people treat other creeds like they got a disease
Due to self righteous overprivileged hypocrites
Some Christians make it hard to fend for Christianity
By treating other groups less than the rest of humanity
Man that’s like treating every priest like a rapist
If you think every Muslim’s a terrorist, you’re a racist
Seeking to minimize the good in others
At odds with one another when we once had stood as brothers
Well maybe not but we could for the right reasons
If only we could agree there’s not a white Jesus
Which makes it hard for me at times to go to local churches
Even though I know they’re tryna spread a hopeful service
And most of the time their intentions are good
But as we contradict the message it gets less understood
Plus the Universe is continuously infinite
That’s why I choose to stay ambiguously interested
I’ve tried but I just can’t commit to a group
And even Hip Hop at times is hypocritical too
So I’m open to all and my perception won’t close
Cause how could we claim to understand what we don’t know?
And I’m not saying it’s a fallacy they teach
Cause I believe that there’s a commonality to each
If only we could reach some sort of a closure
Enough to respect each others historical culture
Yeah, but that clearly seems to be incomplete
Can’t even civily speak or peacefully disagree
Damn, see really this is what the problem is
We need to make an effort to increase religious tolerance

(Chorus x2)
So on this stolen land that we claims ours
With cities filled with automobiles and train cars
Some demand to take charge and ran the race hard
But did God create man or did man create God
So on this stolen land that we claims ours
With cities filled with automobiles and train cars
Some demand to take charge and ran the race hard
But did God create man or did man create God

(Verse 2)
From Jews to Buddhists, Muslims, Parish, and Astrology
We need to take a look at our comparative mythology
From Zues, Hermes, to Serapis, and Asclepius
And Sol Invictus were all born on December 25th
Along with Osiris, Adonis, and Dionysus
So to be honest I’m just tryna use some common sense
Cause I’ve seen Muslims who have done great things
And I’ve seen people who believe in Jesus do great things
I’ve seen people’s lives saved by putting faith into God
And I’ve seen miracles manifest in the name of Allah
But never thought skepticism would be the policy
From those tryna reduce heroism to mediocrity
And always look for reasons not to believe
Till later on in life they realize that it’s God that they need
Then drop to their knees, kinda reminds me of me
Till I decided who I was is not who I wanna be
Then I surrendered willingly and found humility
Take care of myself and accept accountability
Once you commit to it your mission is endless
Once we face the intentions of our hidden agendas
So whoever you are I hope you can hear me
Just within my soul know I wrote these poems sincerely
I hope it’s clear to see the truth that I’m depicting is
For anyone to claim they know the truth would be ridiculous
So can’t we find a place in which we can just all exist
Find some common ground and see the silliness in all of this
Like am I wrong? Can’t we all get along?
From the Bible to the Torah and Islamic Quaran
And great each other with an Asu Lama Lakim Shalom
Which you can tell by now is the reason I’m making this song
As Atheists can go and say they worst
Cause we don’t know whether the chicken or the egg came first

(Chorus x2)
So on this stolen land that we claims ours
With cities filled with automobiles and train cars
Some demand to take charge and ran the race hard
But did God create man or did man create God
So on this stolen land that we claims ours
With cities filled with automobiles and train cars
Some demand to take charge and ran the race hard
But did God create man or did man create God
