Church(Explicit) - De La Soul

Church - De La Soul
Peace - this is Spike Lee
A k a Shelton Jackson Lee
A k a loving husband and father
Of Tonya and Satchel and Jackson
I'm here with De La Soul
A k a De La a k a The Plugs
We're about to get in this song "Church"
A k a "It's Reality"
Aiyyo wake up Wipe the sleep from ya eyecracks
It's time to focus y'all fix ya I-MAX
In other words listen to the brother's words
Ingest these anecdotes with HOPE
And ya a** may learn how to COPE
It's not always good just to get by
Who's coverin' ya stakes when ya bet high
You're cha-sin' cars clothes and rocks
Identify with the goods you got
Make sure it's V-S-One not
And perfect leavin' you one clear
I really don't care to see ya tattoos there
I'd rather see you graduate the school year
Black folk go put a book in ya face
But first give the hook a taste
Bring the preacher in
Heal Heal y'all
We comin' healin' It's real
It's real It's real It's real
It's realer than real realer than real
Heal Heal y'all
We comin' healin' It's real
It's real It's real It's real
It's realer than real realer than real
It's a sick world that we live in let some tell it
Some put it in books some yell it
You need to make your own choice be your own voice
Set ya soap-box up let your talk fight
Pull ya socks up get ya walk right
Or the chalk might outline ya one day
You oughta try steppin' outside you one day
You circle round yourself like you the answer
To the question of your inner son
But keep ya falsehoods to a minimum (minimum [echoes])
We all need a little church
A life update keyword update
If they don't serve change don't bite the bait
Instead'a givin' you a share servin' you a dish
I lead you to the water show you how to fish
Ain't nothin' wrong makin' that bread wid'it
But don't let the bread get to ya head geddit
Admit it when you can't stand alone
I wanna stand up give all the pretend up
And get a full blast of my demands of
The rhyme runner said the man's come
There's something in our words that reveal (reveal [echoes])
Sho 'nough real
Heal y'all We come to heal
So let it heal you It's real It's real
(It's real ) It's real
It's realer than real realer than real
Heal y'all We gonna heal it
So let it heal It's real It's real
It's real So real
It's realer than real for real for real
The early bird gets the worm in this rotten apple
But explore deep and you will the find the seed
Plant more ether get your mind free
We roll passsionate put your lights last in it
You're holdin fear too close unfasten it
And like old age invades youth
Invade falseness with truth
Replace rebelling with rebirth
Face new dwelling that's your turf
Lean back and put your feet up on the sofa
Relax (Relax [echoes]) learn how to punch back
And do your work to the max
The payoff's much sweeter than the payback
Even the haysack needle wouldn't play that
So let's pray at church (church [echoes])
Heal Heal y'all
We comin' healin' It's real
It's real It's real It's real
It's realer than real realer than real
Heal y'all We comin' healin'
So let it heal It's real
It's real It's real It's real
It's realer than real realer than real
Realityyyyyyy
Realityyyyyyy-eeeeeeeeeee-reeeeaaall
