James Crow - A Quiet Day in '85 Lyrics

Never had love for Jake
Never Longed for the Dollars
If I'm wrong, I'm only wrong by Him
Pass the plate on
Food for my soul don't include Cheery O's
No need to add Meyer in my bowl
Megalomaniacs got the masses in they traps
While the predators pray (prey)
I got my eyes on they tracks
Camouflaged in the cloth
As they crouch for the attack
They the string that keep these Black folks attached
I'm waiting for the thread to snap
Cause Jesus saves they tellin y'all to spend
Caught up in the web they spin
This western economics ain't the works of Him
They deceive yet they rep you defend
You sinkin in debt, they in jets with a grin
Kinking glass gettin smashed off His blood
While the bills at home flood
Make ya pleas at the altar
They tell to walk on water
Survey the scene from the choppers
All they offer
Is a prayer cloth for the next 20 callers
See I call it the way the digits laid
And for so long I prayed
Lord, take this burden from me
Be in bliss to know nothing
My spirit won't sit if I don't say something
Let them pimp Christ for the love of money
They the wooden dummies
On the laps of the structure
Got the public sucked in
Satan won't appear as a monster
But he sit amongst the treasures of ya heart
Follow the Word of God from the lips of the serpent
You can't tell the two apart
I war not with the flesh but they powers
They embark
Freedom is my cause and
Faith is in my God
The path that I trod
See the footprints are few
Long as Jesus walking with me
I know I'll make it through

A quiet day in '85 when I was first shown the light
Let it shine through these words I write
Let it ignite the fire to give the fuel we gon need in this fight
To improve the qualities of life

A quiet day in '85 when I was first shown the light
Let it shine through these words I write
Let it ignite the fire to give the fuel we gon need in this fight
To improve the qualities of life

A quiet day in '85 when I was first shown the light
Let it shine through these words I write
Let it ignite the fire to give the fuel we gon need in this fight
To improve the qualities of life

A quiet day in '85 when I was first shown the light
Let it shine through these words I write
Let it ignite the fire to give the fuel we gon need in this fight
To improve the qualities of life
