(Verse 1) Preacher So-and-So He ain’ got no good news for me Even though I’m seein’ bodies hit the street like fallin’ leaves He said “All I know is Jesus Yeah that’s all I know to preach” I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police I guess Jesus doesn’t care if I get killed by the police (Pre-Chorus 1) Now come on That ain’ no gospel too much I thought that Christians were supposed to love they neighbor and such But every Sunday I’m subjected to some mediocre lesson having no specific reference to the world that I touch (Chorus) Come on This could not be the truth This shit is not good news If it’s gon’ be that way I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I’m...I’m just keepin’ it real It’s just the way I feel The shh is not okay I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday (Verse 2) Deacon So-and-so She think that I should cut my hair She don’t like my dirty mouth She don’t like anything I wear She don’t like the way I swing my hips when I be in the pew But she got nothin’ to say about the lies that pass for news (Pre-Chorus 2) Now come on Is that the God that you know? Guess what I’m wearin’ has some bearin’ on the state of my soul But does He care about the neighborhood Just tell me if He’s looking Are you saying that the Savior wouldn’t save me cause my hoodie (Chorus) Come on This could not be the truth This shit is not good news If it’s gon’ be that way I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I’m...I’m just keepin’ it real It’s just the way I feel The shh is not okay I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday (Bridge) I still believe in the One God Who hovered over the chaos Who heard the cry of slaves in the brickyard and waged war on the old gods I still believe in the One God The One that Dr. King an’ ‘em worshipped But if they not gonna’ teach ‘im Then I’m not gonna listen (Final Chorus) I’m just speaking my truth This shit is not good news If it’s gon’ be that way I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I’m...I’m just keepin’ it real It’s just the way I feel The shit is not okay I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday I don’t think I’ll go to church this Sunday No I'm not wakin' up for church this Sunday.
