Boogie Down Productions - The Real Holy Place lyrics

Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? Why are metaphysical teachings forbidden? The only way to talk to god is in church? Hah hah hah, you must be kidding For years they kept god hidden Look for god in self, not in what's written Turn this up and listen If your slavemaster wasn't a christian you wouldn't be a christian *whip cracks* If your slavemaster wasn't a christian you wouldn't be a christian *whip cracks* If your slavemaster wasn't a christian you wouldn't be a christian!!! *whip cracks twice* Your whole culture's missing Hebrews are african, see they originated judaism The belief in one god is monotheism, see the truth is not hard All you gotta know is the facts When religion mixes with politics... it all gets wack You gotta know your history, or they'll tell you that god is a mystery And when you're born, you're born in sin That's bullsh**. that's bullsh**! They're only saying you can't win You can't succeed, you can't acheive Don't ask about god, just sit there and believe Well i ain't tryin to hear that lesson Cause one thing i know Cause one thing i know Cause one thing i know is that the truth can always be questioned Yeah that's how i'm livin Ask and ye shall be given When you're lyin, hah hah hah, you got no answers You got handclappers and a whole lotta dancers In the church or sanctuary They all forgot jesus was a revolutionary They all forgot jesus was a revolutionary They all forgot jesus was a revolutionary!!! That hung out with criminals I would say read the bible but it's not the original So it's really misleading If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you're reading If you don't know the history of the author you don't know what you've read You can't taste the nectar That answers the question on why i do lectures Cause where every mc claims to be the teacher, i be dissin professors Keep that bible on your shelf God helps those that help themselves Stop reading from a dead book Stop reading from a dead book for a live god! You know how stupid you look! God reads the bible with you You both read the language of the devil that's dissing you What can the next man do With a bible in his hand that you yourself can't do? Whether christian, buddhist, m**m, or j** Burning candles don't get you down with the universal crew So why you dress up on easter and worship a false mary That looks like mona lisa? hah hah, damn you lost On christ-mas, what's the purpose of santa claus? *bells jingle* On christ-mas, what's the purpose of santa claus? *bells keep jingling* On christmas what's the purpose of santa claus!!! Or saint nickalaus, i'm sick of this wickedness All revolutionaries check this I'm not synthetic I'm not anti-christian, anti-m**m, anti-buddhist, or anti-semetic But i will set it off in the temple Cause the real holy place is mental The real holy place is mental The real holy place is mental *starts echoing* The real holy place is mental *echoing a lot* The real holy place is mental! The real holy place is mental!!! Mental-physical, metaphysical
