Ms. Holy Roller Lyrics - Will Smith

Mic check, 1, 2, 1, 2, this is dedicated to 

An old friend of mine, Michelle 

She a holy roller now, turned over a new leaf 

Now everything old gonna burn 

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel 

Got your Bible out shoutin and youre ringin' a bell 

Mid-life, reborn, cant wait to tell 

If I dont believe what you believe, Im goin' to Hell 

Ive been down with Jesus since Sunday school & Easter speeches 

The Bible was survival, thats what my grandma would teach us 

Since I was 5, Ive been dyin' and tryin' to read it 

And when I did, it redefined it 

Now you was 34 when you found Jesus after your life fell to pieces 

Wife 2 times, with 2 guys, now enlightened in speeches 

Seemed to flow out your mouth with the hype of a preacher 

Took your whole life to reach you, now Im a trifling creature

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel 

Got your Bible out shoutin and youre ringin' a bell 

Mid-life, reborn, cant wait to tell 

If I dont believe what you believe, Im goin' to Hell 

Come on, if I die right this second, I reckon 

That God would simply check into my life and times 

Dissecting my rhymes, hell see how Ive been leadin' his troops 

You cant do dirt your whole life, then say, Oops" 

Now where was Jesus, when you was cheatin' me 

When you was deceivin' me? 

Where was Jesus when you greedy, your lawyers was bleedin' me? 

Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man livin' with you? 

Oh, wait, he was with me, trying to keep me from killin' you 

Now, where was Jesus when you was lyin' and you was betrayin' me? 

When I was tryin' to make it, you was hatin delayin me, huh? 

Where was Jesus when the ice was thrillin' you 

Oh, wait, he was he with me tryin' to keep me from killin' you

If I aint know Jesus, aint no tellin' where I would be 

Its been nights I felt like feces, I needed to fight to release it 

Im in the limelight, its hot and the heat is ceaseless 

Holdin' my tongue while little bums cut me to pieces 

The only reasons 'cause I studied the life of Jesus 

And venting with my pen, intendin' to write and release it 

But when an ex-friend would slight me or slam me with venom 

I hate it, I cant stand it, dammit, I really resent it 

I always strive to be righteous, my version of God 

The reason why I never write verses with curses inside 

The reason I never purposely hurt persons, Ive applied 

Many teaching of God, searching the reaches of God 

Pondered the mysteries of why you be dissing me 

I adore you all I hope for you is freedom from misery 

You made mistakes and blunders, you breaking from under 

But yo, if Im goin' to Hell, its making me wonder 

Now where was Jesus, when you was cheatin' me 

When you was deceivin' me? 

Where was Jesus when you greedy, your lawyers was bleedin' me? 

Where was Jesus when every weekend, a new man livin' with you? 

Oh, wait, he was with me, trying to keep me from killin' you 

Now, where was Jesus when you was lyin' and you was betrayin' me? 

When I was tryin' to make it, you was hatin delayin me, huh? 

Where was Jesus when the ice was thrillin' you 

Oh, wait, he was he with me tryin' to keep me from killin' you 

The greatest atrocities ever committed 

On this planet have been in the name of God 

This country was founded by Puritans 

For the expressed purpose of oppression-free worship 

Your attitude is the same arrogant, fearful fundamentalism 

That fueled the hatred of the Crusades and the attacks on 9/11 

If we are not allowed to worship God 

As groups and individuals free from persecution 

In respectful tolerance, theres only one outcome 

Ms. Holy Roller, new angel 

Got your Bible out shoutin and youre ringin' a bell 

Mid-life, reborn, cant wait to tell 

If I dont believe what you believe, Im goin' to Hell 

Yo, Ms. Holy Roller, new angel 

Got your Bible out shoutin and youre ringin' a bell 

Mid-life, reborn, cant wait to tell 

If I dont believe what you believe, Im goin' to Hell
