No Way As The Way Lyrics - Dead Prez

My way might not be your way 

But its okay 

Its alright, your way might not be my way 

But its okay 

Its alright 

Yea, I used to go to church 

But the church didnt quench my thirst 

Mama taught me to put god first 

But she never tried to block my search 

I was curious, young but serious 

Wise religion, so mysterious 

Why is black life so hard? 

They say youre not supposed to question God 

Well is it okay to question the pastor? 

Was it passed down from the slave-master? 

It was only the truth I was after 

But I never could get a straight answer 

So I couldnt be late to the sermon 

Put down the bible, then I start learning 

About life, didnt know where the path would lead 

But I had to get off my knees 

My way might not be your way 

But its okay 

Its alright, your way might not be my way 

But its okay 

Its alright 

I build with the fire thats in us 

Only God within us, its no limits 

Study the med 2 netter from chemic 

Also I remembered 

Smoke herb with the Rastafarians 

Who my locks became a vegetarian 

Following the dial, filling what the bible lacks 

Jewels being handed to a innocent child 

My mind is a Buddhist temple, the truth is simple 

I try to be principle 

Walking with a warrior spirit 

It aint nothing like learning from first hand life experience 

Im a realist, thats all I deal with 

Respect the truth, thats all I build with 

A child of the universe 

My religion is life and its just as valid 

I strive for balance 

My way might not be your way 

But its okay 

Its alright, your way might not be my way 

But its okay 

Its alright 

I gotta admit, I dont know 

End to end which way its gonna go 

Why we sit by the project window? 

And started living off the land with my kin folk 

Is there even a master plan? 

An unseen hand? Is God a man? 

Some say thats sacrilegious 

Same folks selling us lies about Christmas 

Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny 

Just so the capitalists can make money 

They say God will take care of it 

But you a terrorist if you say the same thing in Arabic 

Its so hypocritical 

Its a miracle, listen to the Mexican spirituals 

Weighed in the water, Im following Mr. Minute 

That turn Im paying for my freedom 

Im heading for the border 

My way might not be your way 

But its okay 

Its alright, your way might not be my way 

But its okay 

Its alright 

My way might not be your way 

But its okay 

Its alright, your way might not be my way 

But its okay 

Its alright 

My way might not be your way 

But its okay 

Its alright, your way might not be my way 

But its okay 

Its alright
