Sir Aah, Crooked I, Royce da 5'9" - I Wonder If The Lord Knows lyrics

I run into the mosque, it's Friday
I'm praying
They run into the mosque, it's Friday
They spraying bullets are ricocheting
Innocent people slaying
Citizens of land, with no civil rights
I'm thinking you'd understand
The same struggle or fight
This ain't black vs white
This is wrong vs right
This the Pakistani Government
Denying our rights
And it happens in Bangladesh, Indonesia too
My people getting martyred for
Just speaking the truth
I ain't preaching to you
I'm just keeping it true
Your blasphemy laws
They corrupting the youth
And when the whole country's Taliban
What you gon' do?
You got 180 million, half of 'em illiterate
A bunch of crooked mullahs, all of 'em idiots
So tell the opposition to watch how they move
Or the next rhyme I write might be about you

Fighting this damn war
I wonder if the lord knows what it's for

You see my people keep dying
And my momma keep crying
I ain't even lying, I'm in the booth rhyming
I Wonder if the Lord Knows
Is this inside his plans?
I Wonder if the Lord Knows
'cuz I don't understand

We trucing with Pakistan
With troops in Afghanistan
Nukes in Iran while we
Shooting at the Taliban
Back in America a woman's in ambulance
With stage 4 pancreatic cancer
She don't have a chance
Wars overseas and disease in the homeland
Nobody agrees so we're moving
With our own plan
Israeli prime ministers beef
With Palestinians
Rich Republicans beef with Cali Indians
Mad 'cuz they're Tax Free
Now you're talking negative
My perspective is
You stole their country so let 'em live!
Violence in Iraq
So they're shipping off our relatives
My cousin died in combat
His momma OD'd off sedatives
Massacres in Africa, they're beheading kids
I pray it gets better
But wonder if it ever is
Terrorists in Gitmo? Some of
Them are innocent
Veterans on Skid Row, heros living in a tent

Fighting this damn war
I wonder if the lord knows what it's for

You see my people keep dying
And my momma keep crying
I ain't even lying, I'm in the booth rhyming
I Wonder if the Lord Knows
Is this inside his plans?
I Wonder if the Lord Knows
'cuz I don't understand

Nickel! Bush put niggas in positions to die
Obama put niggas in positions to try
Now am I looking up at God or just the sky?
And how politically incorrect am I?
Trying to make us believe
Terrrorist attacks are anonymous
We start 'em and they
Target our national monuments
Politicians lying
Ain't hurting their campaign
The American dollar ain't worth a damn thing
Everybody rapping about trapping
And champagne
Half of 'em ain't even accurate
That's a damn shame
There's a war going on, outside our homes
On the other side of that border
Dividing our zones
Innocent mothers having to see
Their kids killed what is it really over
Some oil or spilled milk?
Them muthafckers is keeping us
Stuck to die slow the whole world is aware
I wonder do God know?

Fighting this damn war
I wonder if the lord knows what it's for

You see my people keep dying
And my momma keep crying
I ain't even lying, I'm in the booth rhyming
I Wonder if the Lord Knows
Is this inside his plans?
I Wonder if the Lord Knows
'cuz I don't understand
