Trouble - 360, Gary Clark

Pray for the love of the children

I pray for the ones that have killed them

I pray, but I don’t know who to pray to

Help me to understand

Yeah

It’s like hate’s been popularised

Love turns to hate at the drop of a dime

I’ve seen my own fans crossin' a line

But if they’re fans of hate, I don’t want ‘em as mine

It’s got me confused, yo, I’m not gonna lie

I’ve got Muslim friends, they don’t want me to die

They ain’t tryna build a mosque to provide

A place where they can go and build bombs and to hide

Look, a burka is not a disguise

It’s foreign to you, so it’s a shock in your mind

All you need to do is spend some quality time with ‘em

To know they just wanna live a positive life

See, that’s the nature of human kind

In a life they just

They see a war goin' on and they wanna survive

And not see their whole family get hospitalised

It’s got ‘em thinkin' everythin' that Islam is

Where every Muslim’s a terrorist, a Jihadist

And every Westerner is a target

But look at ISIS, America is who armed ‘em

And they plantin' the seed of the fear in the street

So when you see a man with a beard you retreat

Got you scared of a face full hair, but what’s makin' him

Ain’t what he wears it is really beneath

I understand though, we have to discuss it

All the progress is actually nothin'

We wanna live in peace, but the shit in the middle east

Is still goin' on where the acts are disgusting

If you ever raise a fact on the subject

All we ever do is attack and get upset

If you wanna evolve and help the problems to solve

Stop bickerin' and have the discussion

What a joke, people killin' each other

Over a book, and they suffer a lot for land

I love some of the scriptures, but fuck a religion

‘Cause I’m suddenly thinkin' that I’m askin'

Why the trouble with God is Man

The trouble with God is Man

Why the trouble with God is Man

The trouble with God

The trouble with God

Yeah, the scriptures are full of lots of knowledge

But I feel like it’s misunderstood

It’s easy to misjudge a book

When people start killin' in it’s name, then it did nothin' good

I’m not saying that I’m right at all

I’m just speakin' my mind, I wish others would

But it grew from a cult to a big brotherhood

Where you do what you’re told though, ‘cause big brother looks

As far as religion’s concerned

I hate to see the innocent’s hurt

Hundreds of years of abuse towards kids in a church

And still Islam is considered the worst?

We can’t go back, the damage is done

Compassionate is what we have to become

I don’t blame all the catholics for what was actually done

You don’t taint a whole group for the actions of some

Instead of worshiping a power that’s higher

We need to understand that the power’s inside us

The hours in time are allowed to remind us

Any goodness within you, allow it to guide ya

If I’m wrong, then I trust He’ll forgive

Everything I say comes from love from within

Stop lookin' down on others who sin

And if you do believe in God, leave the judgement to Him

The trouble with God

The trouble with God

Why the trouble with God is Man

The trouble with God is Man

Why the trouble with God is Man

The trouble with God

The trouble with God

Oh, oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh, oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh, oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah

Oh, oh

Oh yeah, oh yeah

What I’m sayin' isn’t definite, right

I ain’t sayin' what you fed was a lie

These are the thoughts that I get in my mind

And for me, I just can’t go accept that it’s right

The core to religion’s fundamentally right

And the Bible might work as a general guide

But a story that’s told over centuries

Surely it’s eventually gonna get embedded with lies

I just can’t go accept that it’s right

These are the thoughts that I get in my mind

And for me

I just can’t go accept that it’s right

These are the thoughts that I get in my mind

And for me
