The Cross - Gensu Dean, David Banner

Our religions tell us that we came here to suffer, that life is a valley of

tears

Suffer today, have patience, and when you die, you will have your reward

Sounds beautiful, but it isn’t true

Yeah

They asked me if I’m lost, I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get Jesus off the cross, yeah

They asked me if I’m lost, I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get Jesus off the cross, yeah

Molecular blood shit, secular clubs rip

Spit tribal verbals, you’re liable to get your dome split

Meditation walk through my mind, bitch it’s a long trip

Acid, scholastic, Fantastic Four, bitch it’s Jurassic

Park plastic Glocks spit, nine blast it

Bastard flow son to none, style is immaculate

Conception, my mind’s mechanized to see farther than Mechanik

He-man, hey, rule, fool, phone check

Niggas in line for the school to prison pipeline

Imprison the mind, and the body’ll follow

Life sucks, get bucks, bitch, and I’ll bet she’ll swallow

Fellatio, you and I, homeboy, no ratio

Black music, no soul is like De La Soul without Maceo

Posdnuos, what’s the use?

They won’t listen

Is David Banner Muslim or Christian?

It doesn’t matter motherfucker 'cause I’m back on a mission

Yeah

They asked me if I’m lost I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get Jesus off the cross, yeah

They asked me if I’m lost I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get Jesus off the cross, yeah

Now let him walk

Now let him talk, to your soul

Let him walk

Now let him talk, let him talk to your soul

I’m just askin', murdered with a cross

They nailed Jesus to the wood, now it’s time to take him off

He could walk, he could talk to your soul about slavery

The preacher got problems, he ain’t trippin' on savin' me

ATMs and

Go together nowadays like them Cadillacs, vogues, and rims They had the bibles,

we had the land

We knew to pray, they took the land

They ran the scam on you man, God-damn

As I say, if we bring up religion

We’ll have differences, we’ll have arguments

We’ll never be able to get together

But if we keep our religion at home

Keep our religion in the closet

Keep our religion between ourselves and our god

But when we come out here

We have a fight that’s common to all of us

Against the enemy who is common to all of us

They asked me if I’m lost, I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get jesus off the cross, yeah

They asked me if I’m lost, I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get jesus off the cross, yeah

They asked me if I’m lost, I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get jesus off the cross, yeah

They asked me if I’m lost, I tell 'em naw

I’m trynna get jesus off the cross, yeah
