Stabbed By The Steeple

Lyrics

[Intro] "You give 'em the recognition they're looking for — they win. Ignore them, you win." "When you say ignore them, I get goosebumps. I get a shiver." [Hook] Jazz 'n Ja-ja-jazz 'n, jazz 'n (Just a minute) Jazz 'n, ja-ja-jazz 'n Ja-ja-ja jazz 'n Ja-ja-jazz 'n (Just a minute) Jazz 'n Ja-ja-ja-ja, jazz 'n Ja-ja-jazz 'n Jazz 'n (Just a minute) [Verse 1: Benyad] Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple All choked-out against the confession stand I told you once before, I'm definitely not the motherfuckin' man There is a plan, 'cause ya got no seasoning in your reasoning Got a lot of heart, so you know you can't appease me Spiritual police, ya see So, get the shackles off my back, 'cause I ain't with that! [Chorus: Benyad & Mazik] Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple [Verse 2: Mazik] So much information in my head, I'm gonna explode When I speak upon the truth, I feel like I just dropped a load I gotta do it often; gotta be careful The right hand sun is comin'; gotta be careful I got a bloodline running thicker Than the tar pits called La Brea When I went to visit I packed a lunch I had a hunch, it's gonna be a long while Before we get a chance to see ya We even got juice at the museum So along the bus load of people that I came with That came to visit the hieroglyphic, let's be specific Why I came upon this journey? I don't even know pappy Open-up the atlas and I looked upon the map, see [Verse 3: Benyad] I'm so disgraced They're tryin' to deface My beautiful people of Ethiopia More fruitful than a cornucopia Makin' 'em cross through the main stream Not talkin' about the culture, but a Christian man's dream So it seems when the times ain't so good Missionaries come, I tell ya knock on wood Now should you do it? Or should you shan't? I think I can't Do you really care about your well-being? 'Cause I'm not seeing compassion in ya action of relief Food and shelter for exchange in belief, like a loaded thief Stratergy's kinda swell: converting ones that hurting and aren't living well But time will tell [Chorus: Benyad & Mazik] Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple [Breakdown] "But when you say ignore them, I get goosebumps. I get a shiver." "There's a lot more to it than that, but you get the idea." "I get the idea." (Get the idea) (Get the idea) [Verse 4: Mazik] Yo, I knew I wouldn't stop When I saw the apple drop It fell right on ya head You've been misled It's time to take it off and shed Ya livin' in denial, and no I don't mean Egypt The bad ones come and go But yo, the good ones stay to visit When they stay to visit I take 'em in I treat 'em like a friend And indeed, I know the time I know the date too 5753, the year that be for me and you The preacher tryin' to tell me different, sayin' it's, "1993" I been around much, much too long, to ever believe such fallacy You get the point I'm tryin' to get at You've been hoodwinked, you been had Taken for a ride in the Pope mobile In the back seat, they cop a feel — for real [Verse 5: Benyad] The other mornin' got a knock on my door Suckas' handing pamphlets like the savior was a whore Said, "thanks for sharing, and thanks for caring'" "Ya gonna burn in hell," is what they keep swearing I only pray to one boss Not a homemade cross So pickup ya bag of bibles, and take ya losses 'Cause I'm a lost cause Oh, he's so handsome Look like Charles Manson Best believe I'm June Blossom's grandson You take the high road And I'll take the down-low And I'll be in Jerusalem before ya know And when I get there And sit in prayer in the Wailing Wall 'Cause the church is gonna motherfuckin' fall! [Chorus: Benyad & Mazik] Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple Stabbed by the steeple Scalped by the chapel The choir's got my tongue And the preacher's got my Adam's apple [Outro] "If you got into a fight with these people, and you lose — we all lose." "These are the Christ killers. They tried to destroy the Christian religion." "Sure I'll buy that." (Buy that) (Buy that) (Sure, I'll buy that)
