My Soul
By ANDRE HENRY

(Verse 1)
Question
Did God really build a prison in the sky
To punish us for havin’ a good time
Cause’ I met a girl the other night online
And she’s no angel, neither am I
She dance for the cameras
I’m so enamored with her
She from Medellin but wan’ go America
Might be scammer but I’ll take the risk
I'll be her my sidekick we’ll fight loneliness
But

(B-Section)
Deep inside a voice warns me
These choices I’m making could cost my soul
It may sound silly to ya’
but if you know you know
If you know


(Chorus)
So preacherman tell me when I die
Will di the sky full up a red and blue light
Trumpet an’ harp dem, turn siren
Angel come down inna’ policecar of a fiyah
No my soul cya’ rest in the livin’ world
If my soul distress like a fugitive
No my soul cya’ rest with the livin’
Caw my soul distress like a fugitive
Ah

(Post-Chorus)
Wooh-ooh
Wooh-ooh
No my soul cya’ rest with the livin’
If my soul distress like a fugitive, mm
Wooh-ooh

(Verse 2)
Question
Did God really build a prison in the sky
To punish us for tryin' to survive
Cause’ I need herb for my depression
And I want sex, not sure about marriage
I don’t hate gays
I don’t hate Muslims
I don’t hate women who get abortions
Is God gon’ get me?
Will I be tortured?
Is that the good news
In your sermons?
Cause

(B-Section)
In my mind a judge tells me
These things I don’t believe could cost my soul
It may sound silly to ya’
but if you know you know
If you know

(Bridge)
If He catches me will He read me my rights?
Are there mandatory sentences (or minimums) for thought crimes?
All these questions tighten my chest
All I know is I’m doin’ my best
All I know is I’m doin’ my best
Just gon’ sit here an’ find my breath
Mmm
