Boogie Down Productions - The Real Holy Place lyrics
[Boogie Down Productions - The Real Holy Place lyrics]
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?
The only way to talk to God is in church?
Hah hah hah, you must be KIDDING
For years they kept God hidden
Look for God in self, not in what's written
Turn this up and listen
If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian
You wouldn't be a Christian whip cracks
If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian
You wouldn't be a Christian whip cracks
If your slavemaster wasn't a Christian
You wouldn't be a Christian whip cracks
Your whole culture's missing
Hebrews are African
See they originated Judaism
The belief in one God is monotheism
See the truth is not hard
All you gotta know is the facts
When religion mixes with politics
It ALL GETS WACK
You gotta know your history
Or they'll tell you that God is a mystery
And when you're born, you're born in sin
That's bullshit that's bullshit!
They're only saying you can't win
You can't succeed, you can't acheive
Don't ask about God
Just sit there and believe
Well I ain't tryin to hear that lesson
Cause one thing I know
Cause one thing I know
Cause one thing I know is that
The truth can always be questioned
YEAH that's how I'm livin
Ask and ye shall be given
When you're lyin, hah hah hah
You got no answers
You got handclappers and a
WHOLE lotta dancers
In the church or sanctuary
They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary
They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary
They all forgot Jesus was a revolutionary!
That hung out with criminals
I would say read the Bible
But it's not the original
So, it's really misleading
If you don't know the history of the
Author you don't know what you're reading
If you DON'T know the history of the
Author you don't know what you've read
You can't taste the nectar
That answers the question on
Why I do lectures
Cause where every MC claims
To be the teacher, i be DISSIN professors
Keep that Bible on your shelf
God helps those that help themselves
Stop reading from a dead book
Stop reading from a dead book for a live God!
You know how stupid you look!
God reads the Bible with you
You both read the language of
The devil that's dissing you
What can the next man do
With a Bible in his hand
That you yourself can't do?
Whether Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, or Jew
Burning candles don't get you down
With the universal crew
So why you dress up on Easter
And worship a false Mary
That looks like Mona Lisa? Hah hah
Damn you lost on Christ mas
What's the purpose of Santa
Claus? bells jingle on Christ mas
What's the purpose of Santa
Claus? bells keep jingling
On Christmas what's the purpose
Of Santa Claus! Or Saint Nicholas
I'm sick of this wickedness
All revolutionaries check this
I'm not synthetic i'm not anti-Christian
Anti-Muslim, anti-Buddhist, or anti-Semitic
But, I will set it off in the temple
Cause the real holy place is mental
The real holy place is mental
The real holy place is mental starts echoing
The real holy place is mental echoing a lot
The real holy place is mental!
The real holy place is mental!
Mental-physical, metaphysical
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?
Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden?
The only way to talk to God is in church?
Hah hah hah, you must be KIDDING
For years they kept God hidden
Look for God in self, not in what's written
