Verse 1
New West is the new Rome
Doing right is the new wrong
I pray what they write on my tombstone
Is that we never chasing after fool's gold
And we lived as kings
See, religious people on they worst behavior
So, non-believers are the nicest people
Is it all a matter of interpretation?
I seen em' do charity
Maybe, they not as evil as the church has made em'
Ain't nobody perfect, ain't we all being human-beings?
We gon' make mistakes, nobody said that we wouldn't
See, now, religious people that have failed less(Confusing)
I mean, they ain't never put they faith in God, but they beat it in 12 steps
Successful business men and well-dressed
Why would they think that they need God?
I can kinda see why that they can care less

Bridge
Folks just ask me how I'm doing
I tell them that I'm good
But never good enough that I won't be in need of his blood
We doing good now
Pull ourselves up out of the mud
But, no matter how we good do
Know it still won't be good enough
We need the messiah

Verse 2
I had a dream, I stood on the world stage
It was the pope, the pastor of the Dalai lama, and the Imam
They all represented the world face
I looked at God with a weird face, because he wouldn't let him in the pearl gates
I'm tying to wrap my mind around it
Why would God not allow it?
Ain't like they drinking, smoking marijuana
Ain't like they gang-banging
What's the problem?
All they ever wanted to do was see his face
They devoted with sincere faith
Only to be disappointed when they got to the top of the staircase
I'm like what does he want?
Is that not enough?
I've seen devout Jews at the well of wall with a lot of trust
Prayer rugs and Quarnic books
Pastored until our Madonnas up
I'm just trying to get to the bottom of it

Verse 3
He's the judge by a different standard
We keep trying to get a simple answer
Asking me the same question over
Hoping I giving you a different answer
If you break the law, that's the 10 commandments
That'll put you at a disadvantage
See that woman and she fully clothed
What you seeing is a stripper dancing
Boy, you know you can't pretend
In God eyes, x-ray
Said I'm never doing it again, turned around and it did it the next day
I can't keep from doing wrong
Even when I'm doing right
I think the deeper problem's in my heart
No matter how hard I try
Think about it before you had the chance to think about it
You was only 2 years old when you screamed and pouted
Your adolescence sneaking out
And going freaking cheating
Why you seeking knowledge from the education
Never weed it out my man
Problem deeper than your economics
We got peaks and valleys
We got ups and downs
Don't try to hide it, the secret side of man
The only thing you gotta do is believe
You know what it is
Jesus didn't come to make bad people good
You know that your sins is forgiven
And know that it is the greatest need
Jesus came to make dead people live
