Religion
Religion, what is RELIGION. This one word is so touchy and powerful that many people have been hurt or killed over RELIGION. There are wars over it. Now lots of people all around the world believe in a religion and others don't.

Where's the holy ghost? How long does it take a man to find it?
My mind's a nonstop tape playing and i can't rewind it
You gave me the bible and expect me not to analyze it?
I’m frustrated and you provoked it
I’m not reading that book because a human wrote it
I have a brain, you should know it
You gave it to me to think to avoid every useless moment
Cause humans be lying with such an inaccurate
