Kawann Shockley - Be's Like That lyrics

Verse 1: Follow me to the mountaintop A little journey in a place where the fountain's fly Everybody gotta go up and eventually see The place that we supposed to be close to me It's the nonbelievers who do not believe us Telling me they really doubt that it's God who leads us It is not prophecy it is merely rap In rap there's no profit we can't go back It's a scandal that's the reason Jesus died Put him on the cross saying he had lied Jesus, why the priests and scribe gotta prevail? Is it because of the way the world loves self? Is it because of the way the world loves wealth? Putting materialism over everything else? I didn't mean to preach in this rhyme But it be's like that sometimes Everybody go Refrain: Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Be's like that sometimes Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Be's like that sometimes Verse 2: Sometimes I don't feel like kickin' a verse I feel like kickin' the minister that be pimpin' the church Not in general ‘cause not every minister is a crook Similarly not everybody who got a book Is a theologian or a Bible scholar Thus trade knowledge for dollars holler In college everybody talk education Ain't nobody talkin' ‘bout meditation Impatient educators'll grade your thesis That's where you think you gon' raise a genius? When they teach memorization is the way And they basically hate on any form of thinking Rich kids get a quick degree Even with a history of frickin' Ds Even the dean got a bottom line And it be's like that sometimes Everybody go Refrain: Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Be's like that sometimes Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Be's like that sometimes Verse 3: Sometimes I really wanna run Sometimes I really wanna go and get a gun And find those who took the phoenix [?] sun Then I realize only more brothers done I don't wanna add hate to hate We should hate to hate And hate hate in the first place Didn't you learn a thing from the brother King? Never send for who the bell tolls It tolls for thee so right now, right now Right now right now Show a little love inside I said right now, right now Right now right now Let it be like that sometimes Everybody go Refrain: Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Be's like that sometimes Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Said it be's like Don't it be like that Be's like that sometimes Yeah, this is a celebration y'all dedicated to the memory of Dr. Nina Simone, O'hene-1
