curt kennedy - what they want lyrics
[intro: curt kennedy]
“church… come out, come out, wherever you are. church! come out, come out, wherever you are! where are you? i ++ i can’t find you! church! come out, come out, wherever you are!”
[verse 1: curt kennedy]
all’s my life i has to fight for my rights
now’s my life i has to say that ain’t christ
the church, we lost a lot of blood and no transfusion (no transfusion)
the church we talk a lot of love but then can’t use it (can’t use it)
some will probably be more upset that i brought this up
and some will say that y’all problem is that y’all mens are locked up
i would say that y’all got a point but here’s my sequel
for the same crimes, we get 6 times more prison time than the white people and
i don’t know what that accomplishes
why is that your response to this?
and why do we just ignore the data?
why not hashtag black wombs matter?
why not hashtag you don’t matter
’cause you’re just matter that’s getting madder
why ain’t you just obey the master
why can’t jesus come any faster?
[hook: curt kennedy]
gotta give ’em what they want and
gotta give ’em what they needing
if you give the people what they want
they will ignore the fact that he’s bleeding
gotta give ’em what they want, don’t
want to give ’em what they need
when i give the people what they need i’ll be the
one they want to see bleeding
gotta give ’em what they want and
gotta give ’em what they needing
if you give the people what they want
they will ignore the fact that he’s bleeding
gotta give ’em what they want, don’t
want to give ’em what they need
when i give the people what they need i’ll be the
one they want to see bleeding
[verse 2: curt kennedy]
all the world’s a stage with no lights
and all the world’s a cage with no fights
nothing is as it seems to be, blame genny 3
’cause genevieve from gen of eve
made her no saint so that’s make believe
it’s me, got me back on all of my frustrations
i’m mugging everyone like them dudes when you drive past them at bus stations
the walls are closing in, facebook walls i need to redecorate
with the blood of mike brown and freddie gray
now that’s beef you serve on that breakfast plate
but there’s another meal, and it’s got stuff i need to peel
but cannot get out of my head, i’m not 3/5 of skin and steel
is the church at all for real, or too conservative to feel
and too self+righteous not to see
that wakanda’s really who we be
what they don’t know they cannot see
and what they see they can’t believe
so we just fight amongst ourselves
so they don’t fight their sin in peace
know god, know peace, no god, no peace
oh god, oh please, oh god, oh please
would you forgive me for the ways i put my skin above your deeds, uh

remind us there’s a holy war
and things to care about for sure
but we’re just too consumed for grace
and for agendas that ain’t yours
bring us back to on all fours
and help us know the reason why
that they don’t hear the silent tears
of i who have the longest cry
and help us lord to not ignore
that we don’t like what you’ve allowed
and we destroy ourselves without
a white person around for miles
that pathology that we
received that says that we are worse
than every other tone of skin
and we just flaunt like it works
help us
[interlude: sample]
“padre nuestro, que estas en el cielo
santificado sea tu nombre
venga tu reino
hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo
danos hoy nuestro pan de cada dia
perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden
no nos dejes caer en tentación
y líbranos del mal
amén”
part 2
[verse 1: curt kennedy]
tell me what more can i say to you
except that i will pray for you?
does the hurt i shared make sense to you
or did i confuse what i meant to do
i love the church of jesus
and i bet you love the church too
but all i’ve tried to be is honest
and say there’s stuff we need to work through
how do we get a resolution
i don’t have the greatest answer
on #see4 i said let’s conference
and when it did, i just saw pampers
grown men crying like they’re babies
’cause they said they’re overreaching
talking ’bout racism content
that these men had in their teaching
mocking those who disagree with you
like the truth can only be with you
saying there is stuff they don’t see
like there ain’t stuff you need to see too
what happened to humility
and not the one that you think they need
but the one where your hostility
also got you down on both knees?
’cause you got a log and he got a log
and i got a log and she got a log
and we are supposed to take those out
before we say to you that your eye is clogged
’cause you got a log and he got a log
and i got a log and she got a log
and we are supposed to take those out
before we say to you that your eye is clogged

dónde está la iglesia

amas a tus hermanos
o odias a tus hermanos
dónde está la iglesia

[verse 2: curt kennedy]
if i speak in another language
would that help you feel my anguish
my wife is full latina
so i know a little spanglish
there’s a lot of drama out here
in the body and that’s crazy
and sometimes it seems like it can’t change
i don’t know, yes or maybe
sometimes i come off negative
angry is what i make you
but i just fundamentally believe
persecution is that breakthrough
the laws are slowly passing
and they will stop the freedoms we have
and then the problems won’t be race and other things
it’ll be where believers be at
and that revival will be survival
and clm will be our motto
it may sound grim, but if what follows
is we’re next of kin more than we are now though
and close to him, estamos circa de él
will help the family get well
the goal is to persevere to the end
and not all end up in h+ll
i just gave you my treatment
for you to ignore, trust, or sequence
if there’s no problems you can see, then
grace and peace, and that’s not facetious
i did my best to present the issues
and show why thabiti is where he is
and i will help to pick up pieces
so will you help me as i seek this?

[outro: curt kennedy]
both of us got a few sin issues that we know need addressing
both of us like to give opinions before we even ask any questions
both of us can be both right and the other’s wrong ’cause they stubborn
both of us thinks the way the other views us is mostly unloving
both of us will admit that we are frustrated with where some things are
but both of our frustrations probably couldn’t be further apart
both of us with confidence think we know what the other is thinking
but both of us be dead [slowdown]
