[Intro: 1K Phew]
Little boy on the Eastside been lonely
Why you goin' upward huh?
Lived there up East
Let's go

[Hook: 1K Phew]
Get tired here let's go to church, yeah
Tribe around across the street from church, yeah
Chunky's in the parking lot at church (Chunky's)

[Chorus: 1K Phew, 1k Pson, and Chris Elijah]
They said if you scared go to church
Well I came up in the church
In the middle of the east side (east side)
Sunday mornings heard drive-bys
I'll never forget when lil' Dre died (lil' Dre)
It's a little different whеn you came up in the church in the middlе of the East side (lil' different)
[?] ain't gon play with me, had the whole church to come pray for me (whole church)
I was baptized in that water
So I had to baptize my water (baptize in that)
Had to tap in with my Father (tapped in)
I give everything to my Father (everything to my)
Had to pray to God our Father (God my)
Told the crew it's time to go farther (time to go)
I was baptized in that water
So I had to baptize my water (baptize my water, yeah yeah)
[Verse 1: 1K Phew]
Rest in peace to bishop Jimmie Lee, he kept it too silent
Told me not to complain what you gon' do bout' it
And I ain't go lie to this church the way that it used to be
But that's the old church
We the new church, 'til the doorkeepers get used to me
'Cause we done went from kicking doors down to kicking doors down

[Verse 2: 1k Pson]
And I was moving too fast, God had to slow me down a lil' bit (slow down a lil' bit)
'Cause I remember praying all night on the steps of that pulpit (steps of that pulpit)
'Til the Holy Ghost fell down then watched the whole church get lit (whole church get lit)
I ain't [?] [?] [?] [?] so the usher don't say [?]
Forgive me, I was a young one
And that gun cost fifty cents, I repent (I repent)
Testimony service, we done heard some of the worst (we heard it all)

[Chorus: 1K Phew]
They said if you scared go to church
Well I came up in the church
In the middle of the east side (east side)
Sunday mornings heard drive-bys
I'll never forget when lil' Dre died (lil' Dre)
It's a little different when you came up in the church in the middle of the East side (lil' different)
[?] ain't gon play with me, had the whole church to come pray for me (whole church)
I was baptized in that water
So I had to baptize my water (baptize in that)
Had to tap in with my Father (tapped in)
I give everything to my Father (everything to my)
Had to pray to God our Father (God my)
Told the crew it's time to go farther (time to go)
I was baptized in that water
So I had to baptize my water (baptize my water, yeah yeah)
[Verse 3: Chris Elijah]
Yeah the church smelling like purp
Came up a lil' different
Breaking laws, they breaking curfew
You know my mama gon' be tripping
We were fighting for our lives 'fore we even starting living
All these crooked politicians they just wanna send they system
I've had dead friends like Uzi Vert
I saw my best friend on a shirt, I watched them put him in the dirt
We [?] now just because we heard
No wonder why they popping on them [?]
No I don't go to church, I am the church (I am the church, church)

[Bridge: 1K Phew]
Trapping right across the street from church, yeah
Junkies in the parking lot of church, yeah

[Chorus: 1K Phew]
They said if you scared go to church
Well I came up in the church
In the middle of the east side (east side)
Sunday mornings heard drive-bys
I'll never forget when lil' Dre died (lil' Dre)
It's a little different when you came up in the church in the middle of the East side (different)
[?] ain't gon play with me, had the whole church to come pray for me (whole church)
I was baptized in that water
So I had to baptize my water (baptize in that)
Had to tap in with my Father (tapped in)
I give everything to my Father (everything to my)
Had to pray to God our Father (God my)
Told the crew it's time to go farther (time to go)
I was baptized in that water
So I had to baptize my water (baptize my water, yeah yeah)
[Outro]
Rest in peace to bishop Jimmie Lee, he kept it too silent
See, there's a difference in goin' to church
And there's a difference being real, man
No more room for faking
