Auburn, Jeremy TryBishop Hicks - The Birds lyrics

Saw you on the street today
By the trap just a couple miles
Yeah I been cool
And nah, I ain't seen no church in awhile
But, you know I'd rather my
Money stay in my pocket
Don't need no more dirty preachers
Looking at me like they shoppin'
I'm depressed but you can't tell
Like old times I've been doin' well
Feeding dumb lines
Placing blindfolds over closed eyes
No pin tail i'm in hell
So I inhale i hold it in, hold it in
Still here not numb enough
So I roll again, roll again i pray to GOD
(Take a sip) for protection if I take a hit
I don't need you to preach to me
Cause, I know GOD, He know a G
I can't stand that hypocrisy
Ind all that "Christianity"
It's a mockery, a mockery
Philosophy with no Socrates
But, you have the nerve to live
Like you've just been cured
We used to run these same streets
Now you gone give me a word
I know GOD and He got my back
Living life like it's now or never
Religions got nothin' for me
I'd rather go get this cheddar so nah
Don't preach to me
I'll get it right but don't preach to me
All this pressure that's on my mind
Got me goin' crazy
Feeling like not even GOD can change me man
I'm feeling like not even GOD can save me man

It's not about the birds
But who made it's feather
Not about the storm
But who holds it's weather
The devil's got you tied
And you continue to tether
It's not about now it's about forever
Forever

I ain't here to preach to you
Just wanted to see how you been man
I saw you too
I prayed to GOD that I'd see you again man
So I'm glad He did answer my prayer that is
I'm hoping you hear me too
And not cause we cool
But because I care that is
Heaven, I'm not sure where that is
But, I am sure that there is a GOD
His way is narrow it is not broad
He is the Truth and He is not a fraud
So that goes to those leaches
Gallivanting as preachers and teachers
Who only teach us there's
Nothing special to Jesus or artists
Who've only taught us to worship
Them and their riches
Leading these souls to hell
Raising pyramids in their pictures
It's music from modern witches
While curses play in your ear
To them, your soul is just business
No wonder life's so unclear so see
A lie is a lie and a sin is a sin
And there's no in between it
No matter the title a man's just a man
It's not them we believe in
If all I know is to smoke and
Drink to cope with this life
Or baby mamas and daddies
Never husbands or wives
Then why is it up to me
To learn all those dang commandments
The bible's too hard to read though
I try I can't understand it
It's hard seeking a GOD
In a world that's so dang demanding
But tell me what good is a flight if the
Pilot don't plan on landing so see
The GOD in Heaven just wants
You to take position
To put away those old ways and
To carry out your mission
To stop walking with blind eyes
And to start paying attention
He gives us all a choice
And you make your own decision
