Heretic (feat. LTB)

from Consider Yourself Warned (2014) by john wesley

/

lyrics

I’m a heretic, and a muslim
I am nobody, not some one
If it’s in your best interest to become one
You will feel your initial beliefs coming undone
Will somebody please do something, I’ve had it
Ok, but I am not lying, I am a catholic
I have bad habits, I’m half masochistic
My sarcasm is elaborate and sacrilegious
Every song you have is nullified
On the grounds they’re putting me to sleep as if you’ve written me a lullaby
Rap wasn’t meant to be a dance floor, bullets fly
People give their lives, and sometimes a soldier dies
It comes as no surprise, divide both sides
Christian Atheist Muslim east west coast sides
Instead of claiming knowledge, maybe wonder why
It’s the same thing on both sides, like a butterfly

How can I make it so you don’t lose interest?
Is a woman or music your number two mistress?
You can pray to whoever you want or do penance
Who you thought you once were really isn’t you, is it?
Break the bread and drink from the cup of the lamb you killed
You’re either a liar or misinterpreted cannibal
I’m your new father, so don’t mind that hand you feel
Yeah, God is alive but his hands and feet are standing still
Ignorant kids haven’t seen life at its bitterest
Biggest issue with you is an addiction to cigarettes
Come to this with a glass is half empty approach
You can take two glasses half full and empty them both
I’m a get a head start
I’ve decided long ago that life is my war and rap is my death march
Will be a lot of people killed by staying in the pulpit
Preach by walking the streets willing to take a bullet

Prepare yourself for LTB, Beau Warren and Ivan
I rap with Yung Soulja that’s how for war I am
Beau told you less your old self is on the floor dying
You’re in danger forced silent by yourself and scorned by it
Lynnette, these people think they know depression
Shoot they should go and visit grandma on her death bed
And tell her every reason why their lives are less than pleasant
You saw the rest the world your cardiac would get arrested
I spent a lot of time asking “where the party at?”
now it’s worthless, can’t take it back, I’m sorry that
I left my sister on the doorstep in the rainstorm
Saying I’ll change more or less when the pain’s gone
I don’t rap to be right; I rap to be real
problem is real can be fact, really fake, or the way you feel
don’t have a dollar but let’s make a deal
Let me give my life in place of yours, I’m not religious but I pray you will.
