Losing My Religion

Verse 1:
I believe in God too much for religion
Truthfully I don't think God is religious
He might hear this right now and say he feel it
Go ahead son speak truth to my children
Got you don’t pray for miracles I pray to give thanks
I tried to keep faith but lately I can't
You can't pick and choose when you talkin bout faith
If I’m shaky on some points I can't stand and be fake
Honestly I know there's many more who can relate but can't face it
They know that it's true but can't take it
I know that God's real and I know he ain't mad
And these stories are from man can’t know it’s straight facts
So, maybe I'm just sinning like us all from the beginning
When they say Christ rose and I’m thinking that he didn't
Maybe I'm just sinning like us all from the beginning
Praise God cuz I'm losing my religion

Verse 2:
This is not how I, wanted it to be
All at each other necks, all claim me
Books that I ain’t author with my name on it
Put they opinions on me cuz they ain't own em
I been used and abused by the ones I gave life you
Wanna break rank well you got every right to
And know, when the chaos hits the fullest
And people kill for religion don't blame me or the bullet
This is not my doing, not my plan
Not me taking money out of your hands
On the flip side if religion helps you get close to me
Helps you learn how to live righteous well hopefully
We can have our own conversation in the meanwhile
You know right from wrong don't get caught in the details
Of rules I ain't even lay out in the beginning
Imagine man tryna tell God bout religion

Verse 3:
I believe in God too much to be religious
Looking in the mirror what they see is what he isn't
If they could hear me now I would say I ain't ask for this
And if they could they would say it's just blasphemous
And it's not even pressure, this is more pain
How's mine mixed up, with the Lord's name
Sinner in my honor, claiming it's of the father
Living all by a book, making me out a matryr
They barely even get my depiction right
How could you depend on them to know how I lived this life
I refuse to be a figment of your manipulation
Or decoration some use to mask their ignorance, you getting this?
I can't save you, now tat I won't betray you
You bow down to me that's not the correct angle
We ain't pawns you as much king as I
I'm a sinner lie you I can't even lie, stay blessed
