Pilgrims by the Millions

These are the children of the pligrims

Pilgrims by the millions

The afflicted, hopeless, the oppressed

And he went out onto his tent

Buttress got pilgrims by the millions

Recruitin' em while ya losin' em

On my way to Jerusalem

No shade or oasis (I can't take this)

So take this (breathe)

Can't face this rap game Moses

So He spoke to us through pillars of fire

Showed us what He wrote us

Called us the hosts of wicked desire

And in rage I called the Most High a liar

Fuck that noise, I'm the Messiah

Defended our race, our human nature

And through the vapor I became the Creator

Cause Buttress sit with judges, the rudest

Droppin heads like Judith

I'm surrounded by crudeness

Ya'll some savages, traitors

Throwin' kisses like Judas

I hate ya'll Philistines

I'm mean, you're thick

Hit stones with a stick for water, til I come

The Buttress, the daughter of no one

And if you think I got a conscience, you're wrong

I don't own one

Miracle committin' lyrical homicide

The prophesied sacrificial lamb

I'm the Savior, Son of Man

And your behavior ain't gonna earn you no hand at my right side

So continue to hide as I abide

Said, "Bethany, go down to Gethsemane"

What he said made the breath in me froze

Instantly old, Methusaleh

"Father, let this cup pass me

I can't do what you ask me

I refuse and you're abusin' the truths that we told"

And with those musings turned to gold

Transfigured in the vineyard

Thoughts inward, descended, chose to roam

Retreated to Eden, where I've been

Eatin' locust, smokin' dope and quietly focusin

Cause I know I was sent to deliver ya'll from Nineveh

But ya'll chose to dissent, and now ya' sins is unforgivable

Crossed Goshen, took boats on the ocean with pilgrims

Transposin' they poems of devotion

Gettin' praise for days as I'm showin' 'em my ways

Then faster than the rapture

Reign plaque and disaster for days
