Jacob and Judas
I wonder how it felt to be that inn keeper
To send Messiah to the stables where the pigs eating
I wonder if I ever get my choir robes
My face is so disfigured I've been drinking from the fire hose
Passing by the old church reminiscing, driving slow
The king made the shepherd fight Goliath in some giant clothes
The armor I was wearing wasn't fit for the description
A pious type of poverty, but wasn't quite conviction
So this is for that young man standing in the pulpit
He made the people dance while he feeling like the culprit
But keep him in the furnace though, he gon get his wings soon
Keep him out of legalism, look he gon need a drink soon
Please don't make his parole life a measurement of timers and tears
Like that's evidence or base it on what effort is
You can miss the greatest things with zeal in the way
Or you can find the greatest things by stealing away
You say you saw me die but I was on my way up
You say you saw me rise but I was on my way down
Going down, down baby your street in the mercury
99 cougar, cherry wine mixed with burgundy
Another on the nail she acting like she never heard of me
I remember Michelle her love letters were perjury
But then she got jealous of the girl from the nursery
Maria, yeah she burned my heart to the third degree
She was like only two streets over from Brandi, that was burglary
Cause I got her number from Sterling see
Went to set the two of them up, but I rehearsed the scene
I knew with just the right line she would flirt with me
Please pay me no mind I'm only journaling
These paintings are fine art preserve 'em please
I'm currently healing from heart surgery
I was way too young but marriage was emergency
The queen of Jacob I love her but couldn't lord her
Thought I might afford her to change currency
My ex's changed while I stayed the same
I've played the game but it brought out the worst in me
Excuse me I don't do everything perfectly
Difference is I do it for the world to see
You say you saw me die but I was on my way up
You say you saw me rise but I was on my way down
To send Messiah to the stables where the pigs eating
I wonder if I ever get my choir robes
My face is so disfigured I've been drinking from the fire hose
Passing by the old church reminiscing, driving slow
