|
Well can you tell me where to find that Mystery God
|
I don't see him, so you know the shit is kinda hard
|
I searched and searched, but still there's no sign
|
It's gotta be a trick for the deaf dumb and blind
|
Now would you set up home, and wait for a Mystery God
|
to bring Food, Clothing, and Shelter?
|
Emphatically no!
|
Mathematically that just don't go
|
See me and my people been lost for over 400 years
|
and done tried this Mystery God
|
And all we got was hard times
|
Hunger and nakedness, from the snake that hissed
|
Beaten and killed by the ones
|
who say, "Look to the sky for your piece of the pie"
|
And didn't want to tell you that God's within self
|
Bloodsuckers of the poor wanna keep your wealth
|
Keep you a slave, so you don't misbehave
|
You never know the truth til you're dead in your grave
|
That's when you wanna come back, but there ain't no haps
|
Traps, caught you like a good strong buck, now you're fucked!
|
But my Third Eye helps me see
|
that the Black Man's God and yo it ain't no mystery
|
|
[both] It ain't no mystery .. (2X)

[Sadat X]
|
Who is the Mystery God, have you seen him?
|
You can keep searchin for a trillion years
|
Keep spreadin dates but he never appears
|
Crazy delusions of a big white man
|
Sittin on the throne, magic wand in his hand..
|
"You go to heaven! Dude, you go to hell!"
|
Churches think this mystery seems to sell
|
Join the 10%, duty to sell the eighty-five
|
You got part of your salary when this old God arrives
|
I'll be gone, jetti, I nix comedy spook
|
John ? is foul, but he still know the truth
|
Organized crime, drop you off in America
|
Land of the brave, watch the man from the cave
|
Used to kneel to the cross for the war with the rappers
|
Used to think it great, to rest ? in plates
|
Used to pray on my knees to the Mystery for G's
|
But instead of gettin G's all I got was free cheese
|
and bad advice, a tie around my neck
|
Shoot on my collar, to cut off my breath
|
But now all that's over, reality rules
|
Deal strictly with the gospel of the ? schools
|
Preacher preacher you could never be my teacher
|
Dealin lies and deceit for some brothers from the street
|
Know that the Black Man is God (the Black Man's God)
|
There is no mystery
|

[Lord Jamar]
|
First soul, black like coal
|
The Original One, with the power of the sun
|
Allah's God, always has been always will be
|
Never could be, a fuckin mystery
|
But you pray for Jehovah to come
|
That'll be the day when you leave the slum
|
Until that time, you just keep eatin swine
|
Drinkin cheap wine on the welfare line
|
|
[Sadat X]
|
Who's the clown, that didn't paint Jesus brown?
|
Everybody knows the man was original
|
When the jam is over I'ma go and take my vegetable
|
check buy a tech let loose in the Vatican
|
Courts writin lies, record company is mad again
|
These Asiatics is racist
|
Because I love the black faces
|
So put your bible in the attic cause I didn't come for static
|
The True and Living G-O-D
|
It ain't no mystery
