This is not a call to worship
Yall understand
I don't claim to be a prophet

No I'm just a simple man
But I keep seein' things
That I can't comprehend

Like how a pastor profits
While his flock can't meet their end


And he drives up in a Mercedes ......
In his brand new three piece suit
Wearin' pride just like a trophy

He aint got no time for you
A man who's hungry he can't feed,
he passed along the way

To his empire in the city
Where they congregate to pray


This aint how it's supposed to be
There's a tassle piety


Jesus said to (Capestry) and the (Gov'nors Shiek)
with the peddlers in the temple
all the folks in their (cd's)

they fiegn at the prophets
but the ones from Pharesies
came in from the golden alters

it's okay to be like me
and if anyone remembers that his vioce is feelin' small
he didn't write 'bout gettin' rich

he said sell or give it all
it how you treat the league
it's what you do to me

so enjoy the money while you can
but I aint been deceived


This aint how it's supposed to be
It's a tassle piety


This aint how it's supposed to be
It's a tassle piety
This aint how it's supposed to be

I will not be deceived
