Mel Shakur - Holy Bible Lyrics

I been learning alot
I been studying hard
Giving it all I got
Tryna understand God
Then I figured It out
I figured out who I was
The question that I had
The answers were in a book
The holy bible the book
It was written for us
Black people hispanic and native american
God has chosen us
We're the ones that he loves
We had to go through the mud
Apparently we messed up
We broke the commandments
God say that's enough
I guess he was fed up
So he cursed the ones that he loved
White people put us in chains
And threw us inside of ships
We were to never ever see our home land again
See I been learning alot
I been studying hard
Giving it all I got
Tryna understand God
Then I figured It out
I figured out who I was
The question that I had
The answer as in a book
The holy bible the book
I been studying hard
Giving it all I got
Tryna understand God
Then I figured It out
I figured out who I was
The question that I had
The answer was in a book
The holy bible the book
Jesus wasn't white
He was darker then me
Revelation chapter 1 and verse 14
He had hair like wool
His skin the color of brass
As if it burned in a fernis
That's how i know he was black
Yall looking in the the faces
Of what gods race is
When you read them pages
Aint we gods favorite
Make sure you highlight that part
When you read them pages
My skin makes me god body
My spirit is God body
My soul is God body
When you read them pages
Everything about us is God body and they hate it
I been learning alot
I been studying hard
Giving it all I got
Tryna understand God
Then I figured It out
I figured out who I was
The question that I had
The answer was in a book
The holy bible the book
I been studying hard
Giving it all I got
Tryna understand God
Then I figured It out
I figured out who I was
The question that I had
The answer was in a book
The holy bible the book
