Talib Kweli Hell
We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
You think it's bad here on Earth
But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Every Sunday dressin' up, catchin' gossip at its worst
Couldn't see the difference in the Baptist and the
Catholic Church
Caught up in the rapture of the First Chapter and
Second Verse
If we all God's children then what's the word of the
reverend worth
Taught early that faith is blind like justice when you
facin' time
If we all made in God's image then that means his face
is mine
Wait or it's that blasphemy, it's logical it has to be
If I don't look like my father then the way I live is
bastardly
Naturally that's confusion to a young'n tryin' to
follow Christ
Taught that if you don't know Jesus then you lead a
hollow life
Never question the fact that Jesus was Jewish not a
Christian
Or that Christianity was law accordin' to politicians
Who was King James, and why did he think it was so
vital
To remove chapters and make his own version of the
Bible?
They say Hell is underground and Heaven is in the sky
And they say that's where you go when you die
But how they know?
We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
You think it's bad here on Earth
But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us
I've been to many churches, I've quoted many verses
I've dealt with my base self, I controlled my many
urges
I used to study my lessons, it was a blessin' not a
curse
I learned that heaven and hell exist right here on
Earth, word
Studied with Rastafarians and learned from the dreads
That Hell is called Babylon
And that's where them crazy boarheads dwell
They got us thinkin' that Muslims like to make bombs
But real Muslims believe in paradise and the resist the
Shaitan
So it all sound the same to me, that's why when they
say
One is right and the other is wrong, it just sound like
game to me
It's like God skipped past the church and came to me
No, that ain't vain to me
It's just a particular way that I came to see
The difference between those who claim to be
Religious and those that say they spiritual and
recognize
That life is full of miracles, you could see my glow in
a rhyme
The poem divine 'cause it coincide with a grow in the
time
That those who lookin' for God knowin' to go inside
We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
You think it's bad here on Earth
But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup
Livin' in mass confusion, lookin' for absolution
The gas induces psychopath, produce the last solution
Based on his interpretation of what the words were
sayin'
Tryin' to get to God but ended up doin' the work of
Satan
Religion create division, make the Muslim hate the
Christian
Make the Christian hate the Jew
Make the rules of faith that you condition to
And gotta to follow and God forbid you go to Hell
But if you ever walked through any ghetto
Then you know it well
[Incomprehensible] after me
Preacher says, he's blasphemy
I say there's gotta be a better explanation
[Incomprehensible] you
I pray that God hears you
Take one look at your rear view
And if you see what I see
[Incomprehensible]
We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
You think it's bad here on Earth
But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us hell
It's all goin' to hell
It's all goin' to hell
Yup, we livin' in hell
Yup, they givin' us hell
We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
You think it's bad here on Earth
But if we don't get to Heaven, it's Hell
Hell, hell, hell, hell
Hell, hell, hell
We know that what we reap we sow
