Ricky Bascom
8th Grade Athiest
[Verse 1]
I was on Youtube
And this is what they reccomend
I saw the Sam Harrises
I saw the Richard Dawkins
And it just made no sense
This was when I became a hater
Rolling blunts out of Bible paper
But then I seen there was a plan
And I was too fat to understand
I was tired of causing division
And all my chins they were blocking my vision
Without you, all i did was cope
And without education, there's no importance
Without God, there's no hope
And without hope, all that's left is indulgence

[Chorus]
I was that
Eighth-grade atheist
Yeah, I was so bad
Making everyone else pay for it
Yeah I was so sad
I was that 8th grade atheist
Yeah I was so mad
Making everyone else pay for it
Yeah I was so sad
And I'm sorry
That I was so rude
And I can't believe
You forgave me dude
[Bridge]
La la la da da la
Now I lay me down to sleep, pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, pray the lord my soul will take
Now I lay me down to sleep, pray the lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, pray the lord my soul will take

[Chorus]
I was that 8th grade atheist, yeah I was so bad
Making everyone else pay for it, yeah I was so sad
I was that 8th grade atheist, yeah I was so mad
Making everyone else pay for it, yeah I was so sad (I'm so sorry, sorry)
8th grade atheist, yeah I was so bad (I was like no no no no)
Everyone else pay for it (I was like no no no no)

[Post-Chorus]
8th grade atheist ('Cause I'm so sorry, sorry)
Everyone else pay for it (I'm so sorry, sorry)
I'm sorry that I was so rude
And I can't believe (Can't believe it)
You forgave me dude

[Interlude]
Alright Ricky, let's take 'em to church, let's take 'em to church, Ricky
Let's go
[Verse 2]
I was in tenth grade, and I sat at my desk
The teacher said we had a new project
I said "Okay, what the project about?"
She said "Anything you want it be about"
So I remember, I was reading this new book
And the information, man it had me shook
But the information, it'd be hard to share
But in Arkansas they don't wanna hear
The town's population was a thousand
They never heard no shit like this before
She called on my name but I was real nervous
I knew I would leave the town hurtin'
But bitch I say what I want, I'm a Mack
I walked up I said "Jesus was Black"
She said "What made you say that?"
I said "Bitch somebody had to make crack!"

[Chorus 2]
I sell that dope in the projects
I treat my bitch like a object
Me and Jesus man, we just caught a body
Me and Jesus man, we just popped a molly
Me and Jesus man, we pop a G6
Me and Jesus man, we don't give a shit
Hes always there when I'm at my lowest
And you hoes weren't there at all
I swear to God I don't give a fuck about ya'll
Me and Jesus man we gon' ball
[Verse 3]
Hit the block bitch
Hit the shot call (Awh)
Jesus told me no man above another man, bitch
So me and Jesus every time we see 12, we shoot at police
Me and Jesus, yeah we shoot at police
Me and Jesus, yeah we shoot at police
All the police, they might as well turn gay
'Cause bitch, they're going to hell anyway
I was 'bout to get sucked up by this fat bitch, she a eater
But Jesus he pulled up, and he hit a buzzer-beater
Her mom called so she had to leave
Thank God the bitch had to leave
I would've been scarred by the hoe
But sometimes its just hard to say no
I swear, He give me my strength
I swear to God, He hit my wrench
I swear to God, this gun got 400 rounds
I swear to God, he bench 400 pounds
He followed me to every single town
He's always there when you not around
The atheists aren't by my side
They can only afford the Greyhound
He give me joy, even when I don't have a bitch
The atheists, they say He don't exist
But I tell them bitches rest in piss
