Lyrics

They cover their eyes they don't see it
They still don't believe even after they read it
But God's pretty clear in the law and the prophets
That if we see injustice than we have gotta stop it
But where is the church in all this
'Cause when it's black or brown we call 'em a terrorist
But if there's no hue, we just let 'em pass through
Matter fact we'll invite 'em on a podcast or two
I'm talking to these Evangelicals
Moral Majority, Christian Coalition
The men some say have clarity and vision
Yet they're all running blind and without any wisdom
I know I'm about to ruffle many feathers
These birds of a feather, they will all flock together
They sit in board rooms with cigars in their mouths
All of them no doubt probably cheating on their spouse
Remove the scales from your eyes
It's time for you to see, it's time to realize
We came on different boats but we in the same ship
If we wanna stay afloat then we've gotta get a grip, Aye
Remove the scales from your eyes
It's time for you to see, it's time to realize
We came on different boats but we in the same ship
If we wanna stay afloat then we've gotta get a grip
I open the text to Micah six
The case against America, man just look at this
The Lord's gotta know will you ever repent
For the blood that was spilled will you ever lament
All the ill-gotten wealth you continue to steal
You selected oligarchy the Art of the Deal
And church you should know what's required of you
That is Justice and mercy humility too
But instead of speaking truth you are joining the cult
Did you get a call back after all the results
Nah, you were used by the enemy, yes
In a spiritual battle we have surely regressed
Listen, the Lord is asking you to open your eyes
Take a look at everything, how they're ruining lives
If you don't the rebuke will be coming for you
Vengeance is mine says God and you know that is true, Ugh
Remove the scales from your eyes
It's time for you to see, it's time to realize
We came on different boats but we in the same ship
If we wanna stay afloat then we've gotta get a grip, Aye
Remove the scales from your eyes
It's time for you to see, it's time to realize
We came on different boats but we in the same ship
If we wanna stay afloat then we've gotta get a grip
The worst lie told is the one to self
And the church needs to look in the mirror as well
We used to do revivals to bring 'em to Christ
Now we go to Mar-A-Lago and Epstein flights
We were bought with a price by the blood of the lamb
But we traded it for likes up on Instagram
We no longer give the word to convict the soul
We just offer affirmations and business goals
We would rather keep the statutes of Ahab now
All the evil he will do, you will never disavow
Got a C on your chest but that isn't for faith
Instead of Christian, conservative is what you display
It's no longer biblical it's political
Look at you, you abuse power just like Diddy do
Yes you do, you will bear the scorn of the people for real
You will eat and still hunger even after the meal
Remove the scales from your eyes
It's time for you to see, it's time to realize
We came on different boats but we in the same ship
If we wanna stay afloat then we've gotta get a grip, Aye
Remove the scales from your eyes
It's time for you to see, it's time to realize
We came on different boats but we in the same ship
If we wanna stay afloat then we've gotta get a grip
I think it's about time that the church
Removes the scales from our eyes
The church that I'm seeing today, that ain't the church I grew up in
All of this politics, all of this division, All of this lack of unity
And understanding on what it means to actually live out
The true meaning of Christ's creed
We don't know how much longer we have before he splits the sky
We better get right
He ain't playing with us, Minister, Wes-E
