Congregation Lyrics - Talib Kweli

I'm on that homicide, suicide, drama like Islamabad 

Under God, going overboard like the Amistad 

Ringing bells, it was 2012 back in 95 

I made it out alive, now finally I've arrived 

But still threw back to all my other blue black 

People that's sticking to it like, mice to a glue trap 

My work speak for itself so I don't interrupt 

I am an expert, this is no beginners luck 

If you denying the truth, then I don't give a fuck 

Otherwise get your hands and your antennas up 

As we go into our initial decent, I'm alive, but only fifty percent 

I wasn't listening to that intuition now I'm in that system again 

And I'm praying God give me the strength 

I'm drifting into a dark place, tryna keep this part of my heart safe 

My soul basically been shark bait, my body's in bad shape

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

Spitting that fire flame, on a higher plane, going poltergeist 

Life a game, ain't no referee, I can't hold it right 

Bring the rain, praying to the Lord for it to pour tonight 

Bring the pain, fucking with that meth, I'm on that Walter White 

There ain't no maybes, baby, make it or you don't make it 

You gotta take it, take it, take it or you gon' get taken 

Can I get a church from the congregation? 

Can I get a church from the congregation? 

I'm on that armageddon, public devastation, come in the Revelations 

Rap Jehovah, knocking pastors over while I pass the dosha 

Lord forgive him, but I keep cutting these records like a sword was with 'em 

Mixing it with the medicine, attempting to warn the children 

Of what the future holds, slaves of monatomic gold 

Seems the problem is atomic, but it's microscopic though 

I'm courting hoes and pouring fours, there must be something more than this 

Hopefully I'm immortal and I'll never need a mortician 

All my thoughts is black, Kweli on the track 

My reflection is eternal even if the mirror cracks 

And I don't wear no watch, cause I ain't got no time 

Solar system, this is astronomy not a rhyme 

We bringing the real back, y'all ain't have no spine 

So spin the reel back, nigga press rewind 

Soak it all in, that is until you're dry 

I'm throwing the peace and eating a piece of devil's pie, I'm...

A dialectic 

Attract cofollowings like scientologists reading the dianetics 

This religion that I invented, it's really a way of life 

These thoughts of freedom that I embedded is reaching you through the speakers 

These poison animal leaders is weaker than niggas with fever and sweeter than diabetics 

Get deaded trying to set it, they'll tie you up like a fetish 

They'll gas you up like unleaded and let it off 

'Til you wetter than spaghetti sauce and lettuce chopped up with your body left in a crevice 

We the reverends performing exorcisms 

Exercising the right to fight for the dedicated 

Concentrated few that's left who listen 

God is with them like we started a mission, following God is wisdom 

God is risen like followers of Elijah finding God in prison 

We praying for that work, we need that occupation 

Can I get a church from the congregation 

If you sick of the same conversation 

You say you make it rain but that's just condensation
