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 -ssume, 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 b-ms
but here’s one son that won’t be a sucker 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 superst-tions 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

[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 p-ssed 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 -ssumption
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, muslims 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

[verse 3]
no one wants to be ostracized, so many of us compromise
pretending we’re h-m-genized 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 h-ll 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 h-ll 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 h-ll 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
