3) PRAY

All me. Pandemic. I'm recording in my apartment in Ossining NY where I brought my son Detroit up. I'd record stuff on my little archaic home studio and bring it into Matt. Set recording shit up for a week, record, take it down, set up the art studio. Unless my son Detroit had a video project for school, then set up the green screen. You always go into these things thinking, 'Man, I got an idea for some vocal harmonies, I'm going to get all Bohemia Rhapsody on their ass!' But it's hot cuz the air-conditioner is only in the bedroom and the new landlord doesn't seem to want to spring for an exterminator and a cockroach just crawled up your leg, ( Trust me Detroit did not go for that shit AT ALL) ( It was a gorgeous building and we made our place really cool but the new landlord brought that joint down fast) ( but ya wanna know something? You get MEMORIES brothers and sisters, you bring a kid up in a one room apartment where you sleep a foot from one another? That brings you close. This could be rationalizing but I'm kinda glad I brought him up broke. For real. Bringing him out on tour, sleeping in the car, giving him a pile of Archie comics and putting him on a chair behind me on stage so I could watch him. We've done 200,000 miles in the car together, across the country 14 times, hundreds of gigs, and when I moved out of our place after 13 years, Christmas, parties, school, dreams realized and some not so much, projects, hundreds and hundreds of creative projects both separately and together to head to Austin I was like, 'Whoa'. My boy is a man now. Whoa indeed.) and now your Bohemian Rhapsody is starting to sound like REO Speedwagon. Luckily Matt cuz Pro-Tools.
If Childish Gambino thinks he deserves a check for that middle part so be it. Maybe Pharrell too huh? Anyway in regards to politics and religion and plagues....sure has been an eye opener. Right??

lyrics

C'mon c'mon c'mon
All you Christians better pray

All you Christians with your sayin' sayin',
All you Christians with your praying praying ho
( All you Christians better pray)
And you scare me with your trying trying
And your faulty faulty justifying yo
( All you Christians better pray)
Don't be quoting all those bible teachings
Cuz you ain't heard a word he's preaching so ...

( Chorus)
Pray, that there ain't no God. All you Christians better pray.

Cuz if God's around she'll learn ya learn ya
All your racist crap she'll burn ya burn ya ho
(All you Christians better pray)
And supporting all those Nazi creepos
All the angels up in heaven weep so yo
(All you Christians better pray)
Well you certainly showed off your true colors, cuz that man was an evil mother so

( Chorus)

When you're talking about your Bible there
With all the men with curly hair
Not a white man in the bible, not a one
Pay close attention to that bible with your rope and your gun

You might wanna get your feet off her neck
Hands out of her body I detect
Such an arrogant desire to dominate
Jerkin' off behind a chalice with your malice and your hate

So when you're banning books I insist
Put the bible there on the top of your list
You think Jesus would think your judgements ok?
Then I respond fuck you and have a nice day

Let me also say this, so you're aware
I ain't arrogant enough to think I know more than my share
Faith has been wrestled by histories greatest minds
Who emerged believers on the other side

But you evangelicals that say that hell awaits
And your ass will be dancing through pearly gates
Well yer headed to hell fried like Chick Fil A
You best hope there's no hell, you'd better pray

Before this administration I had no problem with the Christian nation yo
(All you Christians better pray)
You thought he was heaven sent but just a Karmic dept so yo
Remember Frederick Douglass wrote the white Christian was the worst slave owner yo, yo... oh

(Chorus)
