Before my grandfather died
He wrote this letter to teach me better
The letter said don't forget
The letter said don't forget
He wrote this letter so I won't forget
He wrote this letter so I won't forget
When he was 9 years old
He was just walking down the road
All of a sudden a man came and grabbed him, snatched him, and kidnapped him
Then he yelled and cried, because he thought he was about to die
So he screamed and he cried loud
He cried so much until he passed out
When he woke up
He found himself in shackles and handcuffs
on a boat full of slaves taken captive
and the name of the boat was called Jesus
Jesus is the name of a slave ship
Go and check it's on the internet
My grandad's life was full of tears
Because he was kidnapped for so many years
Trapped in some kind of orphanage
A place where folks pay to have sex with kids
They stripped his clothes
and they beat him
Gave him a bible
and told him pray to Jesus
Christianity is what they gave us
I know the name Jesus is made up
I don't believe the hype
That's why I live my life like I'm antichrist
I'm Antichrist I hate Jesus Christ
The folks that raped him
told him it was love
They say they ain't perfect
so don't jedge
See that's the doctrine of Christians
but I ain't with it, I ain't listening
I don't believe the hype
That's why I live my life like
I'm Antichrist
