Talib Kweli, Coi Mattison, Lyfe Jennings - Give 'Em Hell lyrics

Ready or not

We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
It’s bad here on Earth
But if we don’t get to heaven
It’s hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in)
Hell (yup, they giving us)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in) hell (word)

Every Sunday dressing up catching
Gossip at it's 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 facing 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 tryna 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
According 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
It’s bad here on Earth
But if we don’t get to heaven
It’s hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in)
Hell (yup, they giving us)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in)
Hell (yup, they giving 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 blessing, 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 baldheads dwell
They got us thinking 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 vein 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 recognizing 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 looking for God
Knowin' to go inside

We know that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
It’s bad here on Earth
But if we don’t get to heaven
It’s hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in)
Hell (yup, they giving us)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in) hell (yup)

Living in mass confusion
Looking for absolution
The gas seducin' and psychopath
Produce the last solution
Based on his interpretation of what
The words were saying
Trying to get to God but ended
Up doing 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 to you gotta follow
And God forbid you go to Hell
But, if you ever walked through any
Ghetto then you know it well

Momma say it's her after me
Preacher say it's blasphemy
I say there's gotta be a better explanation
This dance is just me and you
I pray to God, here's you
Take one look at your rear view
And you can see what I see
That could only mean

We know (hey) that what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
It’s bad here on Earth
But if we don’t get to heaven
It’s hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in)
Hell (yup, they giving us)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (it's all going to)
Hell (yup, we living in)
Hell (yup, they giving us) we know
That what we reap we sow
But we forget how low we can go
It’s bad here on Earth
But if we don’t get to heaven it’s hell
Hell hell
Hell hell
Hell hell
Hell

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want
Just because the lord is my shepherd don't
Mean I gotta be no sheep you feel me?
More blood is spilled over religion
Than anything in world history
We saying the same thing
