lyrics
I can't find the love I need,
And your book is way too long,
I'm struggling like a dog in heat,
Got too weak to hide the bone,
If I look inside of me,
That is where I'll find the throne,
2000 years ago,
But what about Horus,
What about Ma'at, 42 laws for us,
I asked her what is an Ankh,
She said it was a pagan cross,
And a sinner like me could live forever,
Cause he paid the cost,
Oh, really?
Mama, mama, don't you cry,
I just gotta live my life,
I just go by what I see,
Maybe I'll see you in heaven one day,
Maybe,
Jesus taught you to have faith,
Yeezus taught me to be great,
1500 years ago,
But what about Buddha,
What about the Tao,
Wish I would've known sooner,
When we don't know our history,
Everything becomes his story,
And when you really know,
That we don't really know,
Is when you really know,
I had to look all the way inside of me,
To find all the love I really needed,
Cause your book was way too long,
I'm so tired of all the laws,
3 years ago, I took my freedom.
