Lyrics & Translation

[English]
Check it, one, two
I hitched a train
Between here and St. Paul (Paul)
Had no idea (no)
Had to sleep in a pig stall (dirty, dirty)
Once I got home
The dirt that covered me
Nothing like the disappointment
That you would never see
Same page
But a different book
So much more in common
If you'd only look
There's only one God (one God)
Whatever name He took
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?
...
Breathe
Let it
Breathe
New kids on the block
Tryna to make they bed
Here come another rock (here come y'all)
Upside their head (ops!)
There go the missiles
Headed for the 'hood (oh Lord)
Trigger another car bomb
Did nobody no good
(But we're on the) same page
But a different book
So much more in common (so much more)
If you'd only look (If you'd only look)
There's only one God (one God)
Whatever name He took (what, whatever)
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we
What are we fighting for?
...
Alright, listen y'all
We're about to let this thing just groove
Move
C'mon, now
Chapter, verse, which came first?
Thinkin' too slow while they snatch your purse
Faith, love, good deeds
Practicing what you preach
Between you and me
TV ain't reality
That's right, I said it, it's said
Buy this, cop that, all up in yo' head
Twenty-four hour news, that ain't right
Them suckers got you (hey) daydreamin' at midnight
...
Galatians chapter three says
The law was as good as dead
Have faith in the life
Death and resurrection
Of the second Adam instead
Would bring our souls' salvation
If there's works in the faith we choose
But if you're all alone throwin' stones
Who do you think's gonna lose?
Who do you think's gonna lose?
