lirik lagu reverend slim - alt 9 (eric grooms, brendan foery)

[verse 1]
his collar means nothing, it’s a little white lie
you can see the truth in the whites of his eyes
bloodshot red from a little white wine
you can tell he had to fight to survive
perfectly b~ttoned up little disguise
played for a fool while he preys on the wise
never well fed ’til he learned to testify
belly of the beast never quite satisfied

[chorus]
reverend slim
is a righteous man
but reverend slim
has a restless hand
he’s a brimstone preacher
a red letter reader
but he’s always got something to prove
he’s got a little black book
full of broke folk money
and buddy he’s coming for you
reverend slim

[verse 2]
watch out
look at what he’s got now
locked down when he comes ’round
on the block now
talk bout how he might bite like a cottonmouth
when he comes knockin better turn your pockets out
watch out careful how you talk about him
they say he’s got a 12 gauge sawed off to make you pray
cough up if you want to live to talk about it
[chorus]
reverend slim
is a righteous man
but reverend slim
has a restless hand
he’s a brimstone preacher
a red letter reader
but he’s always got something to prove
he’s got a little black book
full of broke folk money
and buddy he’s coming for you
reverend slim

[outro]
slim left his home
in exile wandering the wasteland below
each step was the evidence of penitence
each mile an increment of innocence
yet he found no savior in the sand
no emptiness could reconcile the works of his hands
for god knew every scheme and sin
he knew the slime and grim
yet he retched and writhed
with his fist to the sky yet found nothing to ease his ache
until off the hillside came a man
who was rugged and bland with holes in his hands
his gaze was kind and his hand outstretched
at the sight of him, slim cried
“i am a wretch”
the man said
“i am aware of this. i want you not in spite of your brokenness but because of it.”
“this can’t be you’ve seen my heart you know my deeds don’t save me please just let me be”
but the man just kept reaching
and just kept reaching
and just kept reaching
