So i'm sitting having this argument with my man the lord of lords,
and i'm like, 'i copped your book, and got some questions i can't ignore,
' first of all, why you gotta treat me the cruelest? why you gotta do this?
' acting surprised when i stumble going through this . . . when you already knew this!'
he said, 'first of all, why you think weightlifters continue to add more weight?
' how you expect to get stronger for great things. when you running from your fate?'
' alright fine. but how about this? where's the proof that you exist?
' now don't get ticked - i'm just saying the devil is all up the mix;
' babylon is sick - and i'm starting to believe what's scientific!'
he said, 'science?! who you think is the original scientist?
' who you think taught the atom to split? who's the surgeon that pulled the cancer
' out of your moms when she was sick? who keeps you strong when you're gonna quit?
' that truck that almost hit you? who you think whispered to you to move from in front of that?
' who you think is blessing you with these hot raps over tracks by tunnel rats?
' boy, i outta . . . look at you - got me worked up arguing with a man . . .'
i said, 'alright, hold up god - i'm just trying to understand,
' for example, something else i don't get - omnipotence?
' how you talking to me, and still helping somebody overseas out their predicament?'
he said, 'it's not for you to get, but to trust! like right now, your moms?
' is praying for something she might not get if you keep carrying on.'
' oh so you do get mad?' 'oh, for sho'! but never without love.'
' you'll still cleanse my sins?' 'most def! but never without my blood.'
' well, i'm a good man - i go to church! 'church!?
' what you think? you just gonna listen to a preacher? die and wake up on the nebincaneezer?
' please kou! you're life is the matrix - i'm neo - the one,
' the trinity, the holy spirit, the father, the son,
' realistically, there's no mystery. you're salvation has been mapped out so simplistically,
' i'm amazed you mess up so ritually,
' but you don't listen to me. i gave you the word, what you do? interpret it wrong,
' ate the fruit, killed your brother, now you complaining the serpent is strong?'
' dag, you right god! i'm acting blind to my blessings!
' i'm a go do my assigned reading . . . i'll get with you next session.'
devil's advocate.
