If You Only Knew

Verse 1:
If you only knew how much you was heavenly
You would think God and not worship celebrities
Tryna get a piece of the pie when you are it
It’s hard ‘cause the stars market what you aren’t
On the red carpet in tuxes and gowns
While you’re in your apartment would love to be down
But you’re not so you’re down
And these damn nine to fives slow you down
So you drown in depression
Lookin’ at your present as if it was a curse
When really it is a blessing
You let them confuse you
The author of confusion, author of the novel
Hollywood The Illusion, the truth is
Hollywood is madness with manic depressed
Drug addict actors and rappers
Some of whom feel lonely too
That’s why they roll with crews, man if you only knew
If

Chorus:
If you only knew
If you only knew

Verse 2:
If you only knew you were all God’s children
You would stop lookin’ for the Lord in these buildings
These guys got as much spiritual power as you do
Putting on a robe don’t make you a guru
So many pimps in the pulpit, follow me
If you don’t believe me I’ll give you this quick analogy
Go to the church and you’ll see the following
One guy with a bunch of women as his following
He’s not the man on the avenue hollering
But pay attention now, he gon’ show you all how to bling
What about the car? What about the ring?
You can have it all girl, don’t worry ‘bout a thing
That’s what he tells you ‘cause that’s what you wanna hear
Now go back on that strip, I mean job, get that bread
Then bring it back he said, in exchange you get his prayers
For your husband to appear but there’s only women here

Chorus:
If you only knew
If you only knew

Verse 3:
If you only knew society is set up to trick you
To get you to give your small fortune to rich dudes
It’s called capitalism
That’s why the people in the cap
It’ll listen to your cell when they tap and they rig ‘em
But they ain’t got it from most, we just happen to give ‘em
What we was thinking on Facebook as it is written
But it is written Christ will return from the sky
With his feet like bronze in a vision
Without your permission it’s a cyber gospel
Baptism in rhythm and inside the blocks too
Twitter disciples go get in your Bibles
My holy haikus are posted on iTunes
Won’t be long before they change this reality
‘cause truth is the enemy of any principality
Thus the argument on net neutrality
Either that or we all get nuked follow me

Chorus:
If you only knew
If you only knew
