The Burden of Belief
 

If I were a compulsive liar,
I would expect you not,
To believe a word I say,
If I were honest as a saint,
I would expect you not,
To ever doubt my words,
I'm neither so,
I guess I'm lukewarm,
How to get hot and on fire,
Leave behind the lies,
Repent of sins,
Turn your back on evil,
So I don't know if you still,
Have a flicker of light shining,
In your heart and I'm not very smart,
So this burden of belief is on me,
If I believe my dreams,
Then something unusual,
Is indeed happening,
And I don't know who to trust,
If I trust my dreams,
I could be falling into a trap,
A trap that the devil setting,
In retrospect 'nothing',
Amounts to nothing,
Looking forward,
I have nothing to loose,
And everything to gain,
As you can see this poem,
Dose not rhyme,
And if I had a dime,
For every mistake I made,
I'd be drinking cool aid,
On a mountain with Jesus,
Personally I believe Jesus loves me,
ANd I love Jesus,
So I have no need,
To be anything more,
Than a peasant in his kingdom,
Rock n roll is out of control,
Today's music is soul less,
So I make my own,
I will die knowing Gods love,
Is more power-full than,
Some skinny little white guy,
Who makes beats,
From the pit of hell,
So I now the question is,
What do you believe??
DO you believe in America??
Do you believe in Free Speech?
Do you believe in Kings??
Wake UP...

If I was just another dusty
record on the shelf
Would you blow me off
and play me like everybody else?
If I asked you to scratch my back,
could you manage that?
Like yea fucked up,
check it Travie, I can handle that
Furthermore, I apologize
for any skipping tracks
It's just the last girl that
played me left a couple cracks
I used to, used to, used to,
now I'm over that
'Cause holding grudges over love
is ancient artifacts

I'll never be your belief of burden
My Son is back; but, he's a hurtin'
All I want is for you to worship me

I'll never be your belief of burden
I've guided for eons, the Spirit is hurtin'
All I want is for you to worship me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I merciful enough
I'm not too blind to see

I'll never be your belief of burden
So come confess and draw the curtain
Hand on the bible
Come my children worship me

Am I hard enough
Am I rough enough
Am I merciful enough
I'm not too blind to see

Oh my children
Petty, petty, petty, petty, sinners
Petty, petty
Such a petty, petty, petty sinner
Come my child please, please, please

I'll tell you, you can put me out on the street
Put me out with no faith in my deeds
But, don't put before me, don't put before me
Don't put before me other deities

Yeah, all your sickness I can suck it up
Throw it all at me I can shrug it off
There's one thing child that you need understand
You keep on telling me
That I'm your kind of God

'cause I'm rough enough, my child
'cause I'm tough enough
'cause I'm merciful enough, loving enough
Oh please

I'll never be your belief of burden
I'll never be your belief of burden
Never, never, never, never, never, never, never be

I'll never be your belief of burden
I've guided for eons, the Spirit is hurtin' ...

:notworthy:

:applause:

boo

too bad you don't have an appreciation for good satire or good rock and roll.

Your loss.

ftfy

Belief is not a burden.

Belief relieves your burden.

If it don't, ur not doin it rite.

I don't understand at all what he's trying to say.. I think he thinks he's God or something and that's what makes me say. and the "burden of belief" to me means that I have to make a "conscious effort" to believe... you can't just sit back and think well I believe and am not going to do anything about it.. faith without deeds is dead...

boooooo

I thought JB's rap and monster's rap were far better than that 'satire' as you call it.

My 9 year old niece does better satire. That was the worst 'word replacement' fun I've ever read.

And JB can say 'boo' in his own thread. You don't have to be such a shit to him. Yeah 'boo' what a horrible thing let's PILE ON.

And what the fuck does it have to do with JB's sense of 'good rock and roll?'

you're defending jb's ability to say what he likes in a given thread? Ok. I have the same privilege. As do you. you disagree with my assessment of sexobon's "word replacement" as you call it. whatever.

I cheered sexobon's riff on jb's post. gravdigr applauded. jb booed. I riffed on that. You might think that's being a shit to him. You might consider that piling on. It is neither.

I liked you better when you were on vacation.

She looks like an angel, walks like an angel
Talks like an angel, but I got wise
She's the devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise

She fooled me with her humor
She fumed and then she steamed
Heaven knows she's jealous of me
She's not the way she seemed

She looks like an angel, walks like an angel
Talks like an angel, but I got wise
She's the devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise

I thought that I was in Heaven
But I was sure surprised
Heaven help me, I didn't see
The devil in her eyes

She looks like an angel, walks like an angel
Talks like an angel, but I got wise
She's the devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise

She's the devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise
Oh yes she is, devil in disguise
Oh yes her

I wasn't on vacation for over a month...I was staying away from people who piss me off.

Go pick on someone your own size. You're so cool picking on the defenseless. I've never heard anything more harsh than 'boo' come out of his mouth.

You might consider that it wasn't being a shit to him. You might consider it wasn't piling on. It was both.

And this, this is true. :devilsmilie:
