So, I’m not the biggest fan of religion.
I rank it up there with…capitalism.
‘Cause some choose to believe in it blindly.
That’s why I chose to leave it behind me.
That doesn’t mean I don’t believe in a God.
I know what I can’t handle, I leave it to God.
I believe in an omnipresent being.
God is in everything. Inside of us, guiding us in every single
step of the way. I see him everywhere.
A baby hugging her teddy bear—he’s already there.
I see him in head nods, handshakes.
Or in walks around the block in red sky landscapes.
Cigarette breaks to open the vocal cords.
Supporting your local stores. Or focusing focal for
whatever you love, but don’t go overboard.
It’s all good in moderation; hold to sober form.
Love gets so deformed, it becomes jealousy.
A jealous God isn’t love, that’s what I still believe.
So I don’t put up with it since God’s covenant.
Even if you at odds slugging it out, ‘cause your
brother was running his mouth, but there’s something about it.
Straight to his face not ducking around it.
That’s brotherly love, not the same as a mother’s hugs.
But all he asks of us, we give each other love.
It’ll put you in good mood like cooked food.
A role model you look to that took you
to a higher state of mind. Knew that I’d’ve stayed behind
due to primal place and time. Who could find a way to rhyme
what I impart, if I didn’t have a love for the art
that comes from the heart? Searching for an
inner flock of doves sent from God above.
God is love, and I find him inside of us.
This is one of my favorite albums by my partner in crime 3rdEygree. He performs very well over a great selection of beats. Check it out and the rest of the music on his page! Sean Riddell
