Ice Cube - When I Get To Heaven lyrics

Album: Lethal Injection (1993)

Listen to the preacherman
But are you talkin´ to me
I cannot hear you with a mouth full of pig´s feet
If I should need the swine flesh
Your body is a mess, but you are blessed
With a father, son, spirit & the holy ghost
But my whole neigborhood is comatose
Lookin´ for survival
The devil made you a slave & he gave you a bible
400 yeahrs gettin´ our ass kicked
By so-called christians & catholics
But I watch em burn in a fire
See I am a g, that is why I aint in your choir
Cause I see, cause I know
The church aint nothin´ but a fashion show
Get the devil to a 187
And they won´t call me a nigga when I get to heaven

Verse Two:

You are waitin´ for the devil to come from the ground
Clown, take a look around
Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin´
A beast in sheep´s clothing
But I am rollin´ with that knowledge of self
Cause heaven aint just wealth
So mister preacher, if I could not pay my tithe
Do I´ve to wait outside?
White man, please take another look
Cause we could not be readin´ out of the same book
Cause youse a crook & I am a brother
King James had sex with his mother
Is that your edition? Is that your religion?
Black man, you´ve got to make a desicion
Cause God is comin´ on day number seven
And he won´t call me a nigga when I get to heaven

Verse Three:

The same white man that threw me in the slammer
He bombed the church in Alabama
So if I cock the hammer, God won´t mind
If I´ve to kill the human swine
Cause God is a killer from the start
Why you think Noah had to build his ark
And God is a man from his feet to his hair
That is why you say ´amen´ after each & every prayer
I just stare at the church man
Spendin´ more money on the church band
But Elijah´s got a plan
Got the white man screamin´: ´Damn that Farrakhan!´
Cause one day these babies are uprise
Much more than bowties & bean pies
Kickin´ knowledge at 7-11
And they won´t call me a nigga when I get to heaven
