On my mother's mother's side
And my father's father's side too
There's some Pentecostal mixed
with a bit of hoodoo
I'm a spiritual person
Who does nothing religiously
Except say my grace before stuffing my face
And my prayers in bed
before my down feathered pillow
cradles the back of my head
But I've got some God in me
I know Right from wrong
It's a matter of Free Will
And just how strong
a person can be
to live Righteously
I struggle like all of you
To live my life right
and make it through
I don't have to show it
Maybe I don't want to Congregate
and let everyone else know it
So what you haven't seen me in Church
Is that the only determining factor of my worth?
Don't be so quick to Judge
The Most High and I go way back
Yaweh knows me Biblically, as a matter of fact
Don't proclaim it's Blasphemy
My connection with my Creator knows no boundary
I've got some God in me
He bestows my talent
He provides my possibility
When you're doubting me
you're questioning Him my friend
Because you see
I am His kin
A child of Him
I remember talking with Him
Before I was told to descend
to become who I am
And walk amongst all of you
How many of you can say that too?
You don't have to Believe
But it doesn't make it less True
I've got some God in me
