lirik lagu sly desilva - holy water
[intro: denzel ross]
this world is flaming and blazing
think it needs some dousing
in that holy water
i walk the line my momma showed me
but sh~t’s getting crazy
tempt to find another
oh, no, no, no
[verse 1: sly desilva]
ain’t no god but the devil walks the earth
now the bad guy finna take yo’ ass to church
where the truth is him, where the profits big
where the youth pastor been touchin’ up yo’ kids
well~dressed demons wearin’ clerical collars
offer your soul salvation in exchange for a dollar
follow what the pastor say, listen to the father
as the shepherds of the flock lead they lambs to thе slaughter
i wash my hands of blood in this holy water
in jesus’ namе, the rich will prosper
the new apostle, preach prosperity gospel
while the poor die quick in an understaffed hospital
shoulda been richer, shouldn’ta been such a sinner
if you had god’s blessing your pockets woulda been bigger
guess the lord smiling on me, ’cause all this money is for me
keep k!lling god’s children and my profits keep soaring
[interlude 1: denzel ross]
yeah, chasing highbeams that your heart sees
running headfirst into a glass screen
[verse 2: sly desilva & denzel ross]
yeah
tryna paint my descriptor in the holy scripture
egyptian slaves looking white in pictures
and jesus saves, but his race been switched
so now his lily~white face looking like his depicters
straight outta nazareth where the demographics arabic
and accurately no one look like me or b. rabbit
but it’s iconoclastic if you say he got brown skin
so, better believe it, or we say you don’t believe him
a galilean seems european (yeah, yeah)
if not, then you a heathen (yeah, yeah, yeah)
and moses white too, leadin’ white slave jews
so you see, it’s not the same as ms. tubman
i love it
i made whiteness divine, now yo’ soul mine
internalized all my lies inside of yo’ mind
that white’s righteous ’cause we made in his image
so them cursed dark folks musta really been sinnin’ (hah)
i’m satanic, causin’ islam panic
now bombed homes are collateral damage
pillaged the middle east and i left it in pieces
’cause we dehumanized those who look like jesus
[interlude 2: denzel ross]
and while you scheming and thirsting
the drought will roll in
gonna need some holy water
holy water
[verse 3: sly desilva]
blessed be ye poor, for yours the kingdom of god
but on this earth it’s all mine, every dime that you got
takin’ it while i’m laughin’
the opiate of the masses got you doped up
thinkin’ you should lower my taxes
make you think a war for oil that new crusade
when civilians get bombed, sly desilva gets paid
and all the good christians would pray for me
but i’m the wolf from john 10
ya’ll prey for me
