Letra de When I Get to Heaven - Ice Cube

Listen to the preacher man

But are you talkin' to me?

I can't hear ya with a mouth full of pigs feet

Thy shouldn't eat the swine flesh

Ya body is a mess, but ya blessed

With the Father, Son, Spirit, and the Holy Ghost

But my whole neighborhood is comatose

Lookin' for survival

The devil made you a slave

And he gave you a bible

Four hundered years of gettin' our ass kicked

By so-called Christians and Catholics

But I'mma watch 'em burn in the fire

See, I'm a G, that's why I ain't in ya choir

Cause I see, cause I know

The church ain't nothin' but a fashion show

Get the devil do a one-eighty-seven

And they won't call me a nigga

When I Get To Heaven

Your waitin' for the devil to come from the ground

Clown, take a look around

Just look at the cross that the priest is holdin'

A beast, in sheeps clothin'

But I'm rollin'

With that knowledge of self

Cause Heaven ain't just wealth

So mister preacher

If I couldn't pay my tithe

Do I have to wait outside?

White man, please take another look

Cause we couldn't be readin' out the same book

Cause you's a crook, and I'm a brotha

King James had sex with his motha

Is that your edition? Is that your religion?

Black men you gotta make a decision

Cause God is comin' on day number seven

And they won't call me a nigga

When I Get To Heaven

The same white man that threw me in the slamma

He bombed a church in Alabama

So if I cocked the hammer God won't mind

If I have to kill the human swine

Cause God is a killa from the start

Why you think, Noah had to build his arc

And God is a man from his feet to his hair

That's why you say "amen" after each and every prayer

I just stare at the church man

Spendin' more money on the church-van

But Elijah's got a plan

Got the white man screamin', "Damn, that Farrakhan"

Cause one day these babies'll up rise

Much more than bow ties and bean pies

Kickin' knowledge at the Seven-Eleven

And they won't call me a nigga

When I Get To Heaven

...But when it come to standin' up

We find a convenient excuse, to lay down

Back away from struggle
