[Verse 1: Benyad]
Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir's got my tongue
And the preacher's got my Adam’s apple
All choked-out against the confession stand
I told you once before, I'm definitely not the motherfuckin’ man
There is a plan, ‘cause ya got no seasoning in your reasoning
Got a lot of heart, so you know you can't appease me
Spiritual police, ya see
So, get the shackles off my back, ‘cause I ain't with that!
[Chorus: Benyad & Mazik]
Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir's got my tongue
And the preacher's got my Adam's apple

Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir's got my tongue
And the preacher's got my Adam's apple

[Verse 2: Mazik]
So much information in my head, I'm gonna explode
When I speak upon the truth, I feel like I just dropped a load
I gotta do it often; gotta be careful
The right hand sun is comin’; gotta be careful
I got a bloodline running thicker
Than the tar pits called La Brea
When I went to visit I packed a lunch
I had a hunch, it's gonna be a long while
Before we get a chance to see ya
We even got Jews at the museum
So along the bus load of people that I came with
That came to visit the hieroglyphic, let's be specific
Why I came upon this journey?
I don't even know pappy
Open-up the atlas and I looked upon the map, see
[Verse 3: Benyad]
I'm so disgraced
They’re tryin’ to deface
My beautiful people of Ethiopia
More fruitful than a cornucopia
Makin’ 'em cross through the main stream
Not talkin’ about the culture, but a Christian man's dream
So it seems when the times ain't so good
Missionaries come, I tell ya knock on wood
Now should you do it?
Or should you shan’t?
I think I can't
Do you really care about your well-being?
‘Cause I’m not seeing compassion in ya action of relief
Food and shelter for exchange in belief, like a loaded thief
Stratergy's kinda swell: converting ones that hurting and aren't living well
But time will tell

[Chorus: Benyad & Mazik]
Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir's got my tongue
And the preacher's got my Adam's apple

Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple
Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple

Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple

[Breakdown]
“But when you say ignore them, I get goosebumps. I get a shiver.”
“There’s a lot more to it than that, but you get the idea.”
“I get the idea.”
(Get the idea)
(Get the idea)

[Verse 4: Mazik]
Yo, I knew I wouldn't stop
When I saw the apple drop
It fell right on ya head
You’ve been misled
It’s time to take it off and shed
Ya livin’ in denial, and no I don't mean Egypt
The bad ones come and go
But yo, the good ones stay to visit
When they stay to visit I take 'em in
I treat 'em like a friend
And indeed, I know the time
I know the date too
5753, the year that be for me and you
The preacher tryin’ to tell me different, sayin’ it's, “1993”
I been around much, much too long, to ever believe such fallacy
You get the point I’m tryin’ to get at
You’ve been hoodwinked, you been had
Taken for a ride in the Pope mobile
In the back seat, they cop a feel — for real

[Verse 5: Benyad]
The other mornin’ got a knock on my door
Suckas’ handing pamphlets like the savior was a whore
Said, “thanks for sharing, and thanks for caring’”
“Ya gonna burn in hell,” is what they keep swearing
I only pray to one boss
Not a homemade cross
So pickup ya bag of bibles, and take ya losses
‘Cause I’m a lost cause
Oh, he’s so handsome
Look like Charles Manson
Best believe I’m June Blossom's grandson
You take the high road
And I'll take the down-low
And I'll be in Jerusalem before ya know
And when I get there
And sit in prayer in the Wailing Wall
‘Cause the church is gonna motherfuckin’ fall!

[Chorus: Benyad & Mazik]
Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple

Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple

Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple

Stabbed by the steeple
Scalped by the chapel
The choir’s got my tongue
And the preacher’s got my Adam’s apple

[Outro]
“If you got into a fight with these people, and you lose — we all lose.”
“These are the Christ killers. They tried to destroy the Christian religion.”
“Sure I'll buy that.”
(Buy that)
(Buy that)
(Sure, I’ll buy that)
