[Hook]
Buttress got pilgrims by the millions
Recruitin' em while ya losin' em

On my way to Jerusalem

[Verse 1]

No shade or oasis (I can't take this)
So take this (BREATHE)
Can't face this rap game Moses

So He spoke to us through pillars of fire
Showed us what He wrote us
Called us the hosts of wicked desire

And in rage I called the Most High a liar
$#&@ that noise, I'm the Messiah
Defended our race, our human nature

And through the vapor I became the Creator
Cause Buttress sit with judges, - the rudest
Droppin heads like Judith

I'm surrounded by crudeness
Ya'll some savages, traitors
Throwin' kisses like Judas

I hate ya'll Philistines
I'm mean, you're thick
Hit stones with a stick for water, til I come

The Buttress, the daughter of no one
And if you think I got a conscience, you're wrong
I don't own one

Miracle committin' lyrical homicide
The prophesied sacrificial lamb
I'm the Savior, Son of Man

And your behavior ain't gonna earn you no hand at my right side
So continue to hide as I abide


[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]

He spoke to me -
Said, "Bethany, go down to Gethsemane"
What he said made the breath in me froze

Instantly old - Methusaleh
"Father, let this cup pass me -
I can't do what you ask me

I refuse and you're abusin' the truths that we told"
And with those musings turned to gold
Transfigured in the vineyard

Thoughts inward, descended, chose to roam
Retreated to Eden, where I've been
Eatin' locust, smokin' dope and quietly focusin

Cause I know I was sent to deliver ya'll from Nineveh
But ya'll chose to dissent, and now ya' sins is unforgivable
Crossed Goshen, took boats on the ocean with pilgrims

Transposin' they poems of devotion
Gettin' praise for days as I'm showin' 'em my ways
Then faster than the rapture

Reign plaque and disaster for days
(but blessed be the meek)
Nah, don't need 'em

Dogs lickin' up they blood from the streets
We destroyin' the weak
Slayin' beats for the people, not evil

What I speak
Turn the wackness into sackcloth and ashes
They wanna call me hateful but I'm callin 'em ungrateful
