Church - OutKast

Man, have you ever really wondered

Like why are we here?

What the meanin to all of this?

Sometimes life can keep you down, with your face all in the dirt

(HALL-LE-LU-JAH)

Now if you feel that left behind, need to get up and go to church

(HALL-LE-LU-JAH)

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh

(HALL-LE-LU-JAH)

Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, ooooh.

(HALL-LE, LU-JAH)

Big, slide into the mode, time to drop a load

My life is goin downhill like some cardboard in the snow

My bank account is frozen, I don’t think that I can get out this hole

Feel like the figure four leglock

Like the jury went away and then they came back deadlocked

I can’t move, I can’t eat, I can’t even breathe

Can’t even buy a decent sack without the stems and the seeds

No trees, no P’s to ease the stress of everyday livin

But homeless people gotta suck it up wherever they livin

The unforgiven or the unwillin, live a life of sinnin

And expect to be as pure as an infant in the beginnin

But what about repentance?

What about the tension?

What about you eating dinner in the devil’s kitchen?

But what about repentance?

What about committing the same sin

over and over again and again and ah.

Why are we here?

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Please tell me — what are we here foooooooorrrrrrrrrr?

OW!

Life, is nothin but a dream, so peaceful and serene

Unless you’re bein evil then you on the devil’s team

Well I receive what you want to believe

But soon you’ll have to sew those bad seeds

Please, any man can ask, to get a pass

or a cleansing of sin to grant another chance

Perhaps another glance of the light at the end of the tunnel

Talk to the coach or break out the huddle

Whatever should you fumble your rebuttal should be subtle

Cause he who lives in the upper room is never gullible

As you survey the syllables and sentences

The question that I’m merely tryin to pose is as simple as me sayin

(minus HALL-LE-LU-JAH singers)

(ad libs to the end)
