Ensomniak - Believe in You lyrics

[Intro: People speaking] Male #1: Black without a monolith... we're not all religious Female: Not all people of color identify with religion Male #2: My parents are, uh, religious, and I'm not. [?]. They think it's a phase, but honestly, I just don't believe in it Male #3: And I can tell you there's a long history of African-American atheists and agnostics... [Verse 1] Religion's like a siren's song, but I'm immune to the tune And it'll be that way from the womb to the tomb But many a**ume, because of my color, my priority Is a deity, better double check your authority I'm a minority in a minority where I come from Where too many minds are humdrum and undone And lump sums of funds are given to some bums But here's one son that won't be a s**er like a Dum-Dum Pressure's like a stun gun so many freeze in their tracks So much church in our culture, it's hard to leave when you're black Inter-weaved in our past, so now we're identified As inherent believers they think it's a sin if I Ever refuse to dignify their superstitions and fantasies African-American atheist, what did he say? Can it be? What about his family, was he accepted or rejected? I was one of the lucky ones, some disagree but I'm still respected [Hook] Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you [Verse 2] I used to laugh at religious cats who couldn't do the math They don't see the truth is wrapped up like a caduceus staff Proof is pa**ed over like blood-marked Zionist doors They lying in scores while sending men to die in their wars I could try to ignore Jesus, Allah, and Yahweh And all the other so-called gods, but I'd be at it all day Cause too many fall prey to thoughts they were infected with And it's like for being black that faith is a prerequisite I hope that I corrected it if that was your a**umption Only the weak need something supernatural to function My deduction at this junction, ignorance is a dungeon And I'm part of the production of the tool of its destruction You're a fool if your presumption was it's not essential To make non-believers out of Christians, m**ms and Hindus It's all in their mental, they're confused in their delusions Their reality's a fallacy and useless 'less it's proven [Hook] Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you [Verse 3] No one wants to be ostracized, so many of us compromise Pretending we're h*mogenized to views long fossilized Don't have to hypothesize, it's already common knowledge And it might take some time, but one day we'll get laws abolished That allow for the walls demolished between church and state And worthless faith isn't used to besmirch and hate Unfortunately I'm forced to wait, but doesn't mean I won't expedite it There's ways out of religion, I use my music and text to guide it Don't hide it or be quiet, stand up for yourself, say it loud I don't believe in any god; let them pray it out To those that need to delay your route take this to your heart Anyone who really loves you accepts you for who you are For the rest of us, we need to do our part, I'll say it explicitly Let people know they're not alone no matter their ethnicity Insist that we show everyone that there's an alternative You're born to think, you're born to learn You're born to love, you're born to live [Hook] Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you Don't care what they're telling me There's no fear of hell in me Ignore what they say to you You shouldn't be praying too Country, culture or my skin Can't tell you what lies within Regardless what else you do Make sure you believe in you
