Spiritual Warfare Songtext
von Visionaries

To the ones walkin′ the righteous path


[ VERSE 1: LMNO ]
Church and state separate
Plenty of God's children, devil is the king of deception
Looking at the paintings of a white and black Jesus
Spirit says it′s simply to deceive us
If I was after sacrifice, need a scapegoat
I would stop fightin' and cut my own throat
Lord hold me in your bosom, Satan's on my track
Help me lose him, I know you′re on your way
Whether it′s 2 years, 20 years and so forth
The point is he's comin′, you're summoned to God′s court
There's no failure to repair once we leave here
′Order, hear he,' no - you hear me
You're not God, egotistical wig-wearin
Mallet-slammin′... Oh, the verdict is in
Free from sin, Baptism
I see myself in the line-up, yes, that′s him
A man who (?) is a man who's wise
It′s all how you work it, not a matter of size
You don't love me anymore cause of what was said?
You never loved me in the first place, see me tread
In stormy waters, look, there′s a rock ahead
Make sure you say your prayers before you go to bed

[ CHORUS ]
Hey you over there
Are you familiar with spiritual warfare?
Or do you care?
(I got a question) --> Rakim
Or do you care?
(I got a question)
Or do you care?


[ VERSE 2: Key-Kool ]
I'm not asleep but I′m not fully awake
Livin' my life in a dreamlike state
I see where I need to be and I'm tryin′ to get there
But it feels like I′m runnin' in place
Runnin′ a race against time is a waste
A true mind doesn't have a face or physical shape
But wait, it′s hard to belay a manifest
When my bones ache and I'm made of flesh
I feel a pain in my chest from stress and self-inflicted wounds
From the time we leave the womb we′re consumed
By the brainwashin' of a society
Where conciousness is like sobriety a rarity
I have a moment of clarity
Now I refuse to live life as a parody of the truth
The proof at the root is hidden beneath
Layers of false satisfaction and deceit
I fight to defeat the distractions
Material attachments and worldy passions
I'm askin′ myself: am I egotistical and selfish
Or truly nothing, selfless?

(I got a question)
(I got a question)

[ CHORUS ]
