Amen (*Is it rolling?)

Oh na, na na na (Amen)
Na na na (A-Amen)
All Right!
Amen
A-Amen
A-Amen
Amen

[Verse 1]
Preacher So-and-So
He don't got no good news for me
Even though I’m seein’ bodies hit the street like autumn leaves
He said “All I know is Jesus, man
That’s all I know to preach”
I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police
I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police (Woo-oo)
I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police
I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police

(Pre-Chorus 1)
Now come on
That ain’ no gospel too much
I thought that Christians were supposed to love their neighbor and such
But every Sunday I’m subjected to some mediocre lesson
Having no specific reference to the world that I touch

(Chorus)
Now come on
This could not be the truth
This shit is not good news
If it’s gon’ be that way
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
(I) I’m just keepin’ it real
It’s just the way I feel
The shit is not okay
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday

(Verse 2)
Deacon So-and-so
She think that I should cut my hair
She don’t like my dirty mouth
She don’t like anything I wear
She don’t like the way I swing my hips when I be in the pew
But she got nothin’ to say about the lies that pass for news
She got nothin’ to say about the lies that pass for news
She got nothin’ to say about the lies that pass for news
She got nothin’ to say about the lies that pass for news
She got nothin’ to say about the lies that pass for news

(Pre-Chorus 2)
Now come on
Is that the God that you know?
Guess what I’m wearin’ has some bearin’ on the state of my soul?
But does he care about the neighborhood?
Just tell me, is he looking?
Are you saying that the Savior wouldn’t save me cause my hoodie?

(Chorus)
Come on
This could not be the truth
This shit is not good news
If it’s gon’ be that way
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
(I’m) I’m just keepin’ it real
It’s just the way I feel
The shit is not okay
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
Oh, I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday

(Bridge)
I still believe in the One God
Who hovered over the chaos
Who heard the cry of slaves in the brickyard and waged war on the old gods
I still believe in the One God
The One that Dr. King an’ ‘em worshipped
But if you're not gonna’ preach on
Then I’m not gonna listen

(Final Chorus)
I’m just speaking my truth
This shit is not good news
If it’s gon’ be that way
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday
I...I’m tryin' to keep it real
It’s just the way I feel
The shit is not okay
I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday

I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday
I don’t think I’m goin' go to church this Sunday

I'm not wakin' up for church this Sunday
