Disregard the fact that it's rap if you don't enjoy that type of music, just read the lyrics and let me know what you think. If I died right now, you'd turn the fire on Sick of this bullshit, niggas call me a sellout Cause I hopped on Christianity so strongly then I fell out Now I'm avoiding questions like a scared dog with his tail down Feeling so damn humiliated because they looking at me like I'm hellbound What story should I tell now? I'll just expose the truth I'm so close to the fucking edge, I should be close to you But who the fuck are You? You never showed the proof And I'm only fucking human yo, what am I supposed to do? There's way too many different religions with vivid descriptions Begging all fucking men and women to listen I can't even beat my dick without getting convicted These ain't wicked decisions, I got different intentions I've been itching to get it, I've been given assistance But the whole fucking system is twisted Now I'm dealing with this backlash because Marcus isn't a Christian And I've been told that my sinful life is an addiction But I can't buy it, it's just too hard to stand beside it I need an answer and humans can't provide it I look at the Earth and Sun and I can tell a genius man designed it It's truly mind blowing, I can't deny it Is heaven real? Is it fake? Is it really how I fantasize it? Where's the Holy Ghost at? How long it take Man to find it? My mind's a nonstop tape playing and I can't rewind it You gave me a Bible and expect me not to analyze it? I'm frustrated and you provoked it I'm not reading that motherfucking book because a human wrote it I have a fucking brain, you should know it You gave it to me to think to avoid every useless moment It was a mission that I had to abort Cause humans be lying with such an inaccurate source It's gon' be hard to put me back on the course Next Jehovah's Witness to come on my porch I swear I'm slammin' the door A lot of folks believe it though, but I'm not surprised Humans are fucking dumb, still thinking that Pac's alive I ain't trying to take your legacy and torch it down I'm just saying: I ain't heard shit from the horse's mouth Just sheep always telling stories of older guys Who were notarized by you when you finally vocalized Now I'm supposed to bow my head and close my eyes And somehow let the Holy Ghost arise Sounds like a fucking Poltergeist Show yourself and then boom it's done Every rumor's gone, I no longer doubt this shit, you're the One I'll admit that my sinful ways was stupid fun And all my old habits can hop onto of a roof to plunge I'll donate to a charity that could use the funds Fuck the club, instead of bitches I'd hang with a group of nuns And everyone that I ran into would know what I came to do I wouldn't take a step unless it was in the name of You I hate the fact that I have to believe You haven't been chatting with me like you did Adam and Eve And I ain't seen no fucking talking snake unravel from trees With an apple to eat, that shit never happens to me I don't know if you do or don't exist, it is driving me crazy Send your condolences, this is me reaching to you so don't forget If hell is truly your pit of fire and I get thrown in it I'mma probably regret the fact that I ever wrote this shit My gut feeling says it's all fake I hate to say it but fuck it, shit I done lost faith This isn't a small phase, my perspective's all changed My thoughts just keep picking shit apart all day And in my mind I make perfect sense If you aren't real then all my prayers aren't worth a cent That would mean that I could just make up what my purpose is And I could just sit in church and say “fuck†in the services Man what if Jesus was a facade? Then that would mean the government's god I feel like they've been brainwashing us with a lot So much that we don't even notice that we're stuck in the box Man everything is “what ifâ€, why is it always “what if†Planet Earth “what ifâ€, the universe “what if†My sacrifice “what ifâ€, my afterlife “what if†Every fucking thing that deals with you is fucking suspect I'm fucking done, I'm fucking done This is my fucking life and I'm living it, I'm having fun If you really care for me, prove that I need to live carefully But I'll be damned if I put my own pleasure aside for an afterlife that isn't even guaranteed We are you, and you're us, stop playing games My life's all I got, and heaven is all in my brain And when I feel I am in hell, my ideas are what get me through pain Do as you please, and I'll just do me I'm a human, I'll stay in my lane -Hopsin Personally, I couldn't have said it better myself.
anyway apart from all this stupidity being flung in here have you listened to his new album pound syndrome?
His Ranting about Religion itself and the System. Its much deeper then just Christianity. Here's another good one with a great message.
Hopsin is clearly struggling with the never ending struggle between the morals of Christianity and the sinful ways of the world. It's never an easy answer, but I lost respect for him after he made this song because it looks like he took the road most traveled.
He took the road most travelled because that road makes the most sense. That road has answers to questions and factual truths. The other road is full of unanswered questions and what if's; that's the whole point he's trying to make with the song. He lost his way because his eyes were opened to how ridiculous Christianity is.
the road most traveled would be Christianity...unless you're trying to say there are more non-believers then believers in America...which every poll and stat says otherwise, even in the prison population....
7 states (8 really, because North Carolina also bans them like South Carolina does)ban atheists from holding public office and/or testifying in court the statues are at the bottom for you to fact check, they're legit... i wouldn't call being banned from doing something because of your disbelief being the "road most traveled"... the road most traveled would ban people from doing things, not be banned from doing things
Well sure, it would be considered the easy road because it causes us not to think for ourselves and challenge life's big questions. But I personally don't believe that's how Hopsin feels about Christianity. He may be doubting but who doesn't every once in a blue moon? We all loose our way on the journey through life.
Technically, 50% or more of Christianity are considered "jack-Christians". They don't follow up to the belief system they claim to have. They speak a good game but they are not actually living as a prime example as a follower of Christ. It gives Christians like me a bad name, and I don't deny people like you the right to speak your mind on the subject when you see them fakes tromping around with a righteous ego. I hate it too. Maybe in America alone, there is a higher rate of believers. But in general, nearly 2/3rds of the universe does not believe in a higher power.
2/3s? Source?...that's not true at all, since there are so many religions there's no way 2/3s of HUMANS don't believe in a higher power... A quick google search says 84% of the world has faith in some sort of higher power and 9 out of 10 americans believe in a god...
Technically, 100% of Christians are sinners and do not follow up to the belief system they claim to have 24/7/365; we all follow an imperfect path to Christ and stumble along the way. A true Christian would understand this and would not be so judgmental.
I never said anything about the fact that we're sinning. I'm talking about people who are saying, "oh yeah, I'm a Christian" yet they go out and live the way they want and not the way God told us to. There is a very big difference between making a judgement call, and exposing the truth. And a lot of people honestly can't handle the truth. And as far as my statement earlier, I stand corrected. I got confused with the percentage of believers as in meaning the percentage of 2/3rds of the world and what God says about it. But that's unrelated to the prior subject.
That's pretty harsh, to say that you get to decide who is allowed to call themselves "Christian" and who isn't. I mean, if someone comes from a Christian family, and goes to Christian church, and calls themselves a Christian, I don't think that makes them "fakes tromping around with a righteous ego" (your words not mine) just because they are not the one "true" faith or whatever.
Look dude I am not the one saying who's Christian or not. I'm quoting what God says about lukewarm Christians. I actually read my bible, don't get so offended with what I have to say. If this doesn't sit comfortably with you then maybe you need to analyze your own life! God can be harsh, but it's only because he loves us. And don't take my own words out of context to benefit your case. I didn't say Christians who go to church and claim they are Christians aren't Christians. I said people who exclaim their Christians and then act like they're not are not! Faith without works is dead. People are only human, we're all sinners, I get it. But using that as a crutch to continue to sin is not kosh with God. That's my point.
