[spoken sample: bryan lewis saunders]
one time i was staying at this homeless shelter – hope haven in kingsport, tennessee, and the rule was if you didn’t go to church on sunday you couldn’t sleep there that night. and, uh, me and my friend, paul david miller, overslept and didn’t go to church, and so we were, uh, trying to get dibs on this abandoned car out back so we could have a place to sleep. but then this guy showed up at the homeless shelter and he was wearing regular clothes, looked like a regular guy, and um, he was like, “hey! anyone wanna go to the mall? i’ll buy you lunch,” something like that. and we were like sure, paul- i didn’t ever say anything but paul david miller was like “yeah, yeah, come on.” and we went to the mall, and the whole time we were hanging out with this guy he was like uh, “do you like rock and roll? there’s rock and roll at my church. do you like girls? there’s a lot of girls at my church. do y’all need a job? there’s people that can give you a job at my church,” he even said, “do you need a car? there’s people that have cheap cars at my church
[verse 1: daveed diggs]
jesus is walking, [?] infected
the beast in the pocket, go ahead and inject it
jericho in the grip, with merlot on the lip
body and blood, testament taking a trip
taking your dollars, call it collection
calling god on collect from a site of correction
pharmaceutical using, isn’t the spirit delicious
in the clutches of circ-mstance still remain an invictus

and uh, this girl was on stage. and, like, when you get ready to puke, uh, you’re cheeks kind of puff up; you can tell when someone’s getting ready to vomit. and then she started puffing up her cheeks a whole bunch and then she jumped off the stage and started running up the aisle. and the guy and paul david miller were behind me and i said “look out! this girl is about ready to get sick!” like that, and she busted through the door and into the girls room and you could hear her getting sick in there and i said to the guy who brought us there, i said “aren’t you gonna send someone after her to see if she’s okay?” and he said, “nah, she’s just spitting out demons, we do that here.”
[verse 2: daveed diggs]
devil under the tongue, he been eating the wafers
getting drunk off the wine, his design never wavers
are you’re feeling the heating? check the vent in the ceiling
that sh-t is obviously the fire that the preacher is speaking
tongue’s parched, put quill on the parchment
stop looking for [?] the hole where the heart went
it’s ripping apart, a little apart middle of the bleeding heating the middle of park bench
[spoken sample: bryan lewis saunders]
and they had my arms held out like a spread eagle or something in the air, and this one guy started going, “ahumunumunumunumunum! ahumunumunumunumunum!” like that. and then this big huge,uh, big huge guy comes up, grabs me around the waist like he wants to dance or something and then he starts pushing on my head really hard and saying “you best start speaking in that god-given tongue, boy! ou best start speaking in that god-given tongue, boy!”
[verse 3: daveed diggs (bryan lewis saunders)]
speak the light of the lord, it should sound like a curse
how could the tongue of the chosen one translate in your verse
make the melody foreign, octaves jumping the levels
(but then they thought i was the devil)
well sh-t maybe you are, has your brain been idle?
do you study the details when you’re reading your bible?
cause you know that’s where he lives so don’t be reading to close
just keep looking for god in the spiral and smoke
[spoken sample: bryan lewis saunders]
and then they pushed me all the way up these stairs and into a closet, and it was totally dark in this closet, and all of a sudden after like, two minutes or something the door opens up and i get hit in the chest with an orange, bright orange, jail jumpsuit. and the cop says “get your bottoms off! get your bottoms off!” like that, and so i got my bottoms off. i was scared to death, i was in this closet of this crazy church. and so then they opened up the door and they said :come on, come on!” like this and then uh, i looked and here was a pool upstairs with fake rocks and fake plants and then, uh this guy who was in the water and put his leg up on a rock and was like “come on, come on,” like that. and then i walked down in the pool and he said how to hold my arms and he said “when i dunk you under this water, you’re gonna feel really cold, but when i pull you up out of this water you best be speaking in that god-given tongue boy.”
[verse 4: daveed diggs]
say it, say it, say it till you feel it
feel like dancing on the ceiling
feel like sitting on a million
feel like everything equating to success is really nothing more
than compensating for not being blessed
now strip, see the pole, climb it like stairs to heaven
but the stars are higher than you could possibly be getting
and sever all the begetting unless you be getting married
just play with your genitalia for jesus until you’re ready

this little bitty guy with gl-sses all of a sudden jumps out of one of these rooms and gets in front of me, and i kept trying to walk around him but he kept stepping in front of me. “i know, i know you’ve had a long night, i just need to ask you a few questions before you leave, i know its been a very eventful night but just come on in this room and answer a few questions.” i said okay, i’m going to enter this room and answer this guy’s questions and then i’m going to walk straight out of this room and straight out of this church and sleep at the homeless shelter. and so then i go in the room, he never even turned the light on, and he had a clipboard with different question on it and he said, he looked at me and he said uh, “holy spirit,” and then he put a little checkmark, “spoke in tongues,” and checked like this, “baptized” and he checked and he just went down this list of all these things they did to me against my will and i never said anything. and then he says, “well what we do is we send people to your house,” uh, i guess he didn’t know we were at the homeless shelter, he said, “we send two peple to your house and then we teach you the bible,” and i said, “well i’ve read the bible, three times, i’ve read the old testament and the new front to back in prison, i know the bible thats, i don’t need anyone coming to my house.”
[verse 5: daveed diggs]
three things first, follow the father, son, and holy ghost
holy water, hallelujah, hold you’re daughter close
hold up the bible and [?] light it, holy smoke
drop them bombs on the qu’ran before they drop them first
and if you drop it like its hot
you better open you’re soul to jesus chist ready or not
let us carry the cross for you, take a load off
come in the water and started washing off all the [?]
[spoken sample: bryan lewis saunders]
they would come to the homeless shelter right away and see if they could bring us back to the service, i don’t know how many, it was alot. and so i just said, “well i’m gonna get a job, i gotta get a job and i gotta move out of this homeless shelter to get these cult freak people away from me.” so i got a job at mcdonalds and rented a room in this biker house, and they were constantly making meth and fighting eachother for fun and knocking eachother’s teeth out and acting like monsters, but one day i was at work, and they said two guys were looking for me. and they know they was from that church, and so then one of the bikers, chris, when they came in he said, “yeah, bryan lives here, he live upstairs up there, and so he let them go upstairs but he had a sawed off ten-guage shotgun, and then he followed them up the stairs and once they knocked and i didn’t answer he pulled out the shotgun and said “i got six six six tatooed on the head of my d-ck y’all wanna suck it” and i’m sure he pointed it at them because he was crazy like that, and they never came back for me again
