[Verse]

What a crazy world we live In

We’re always so preoccupied with our worldly condition

It’s easy to forget we’re a speck in the grand scheme of things

But even one speck can make a whole world of difference

And then they tell us we’re sick just because we’re different

It’s coming out of pocket when we’re fillin' the prescription

Don’t let 'em tell you off when they speak I just never listen

Executives in their office can’t comprehend that you’re gifted

(Yeah)

What a crazy world we live in

I wash away the stress by observing what’s in the heavens

I wish that I could touch it or jump, way up above it

My imagination races and chases like I am seven

I channel vivid pictures and paintings I see on sidewalks

Into boom box midi chords while I’m chillin' in Nike tube socks

I pray that maybe someday somebody with any influence

Appreciates the paintings and says to me that my tunes rock

What a crazy world we live in

[Bridge]

Kill the prophets let it be (huh)

Let salvation rest in peace

Kill the prophets let it be, (yup)

Lets salvation rest in peace

[Chorus]

You decided to kill the prophets

Instead of heeding the message

The message was very clear

Now things will start to get messy

You couldn’t just be a David

More like a Nebuchadnezzar

Reciting it like the Torah

Decree it like the Sanhedrin

You decided to kill the prophets

Instead of heeding the message

The message was very clear

Now things will start to get messy

You couldn’t just be a David

More like a Nebuchadnezzar

Reciting it like the Torah

Decree it like the Sanhedrin

Kill the prophet let it be (huh)

[Verse]

Midnight drives, and bloodshot eyes, I mean

We don’t lie, the flips on side, I need

Pain not pride

I tell my sins and all my troubles they can wait outside

Speak in tounges or speaking gibberish

Who really knows the difference

Write a riddle, take a Ritalin

To stimulate the senses

Pray the kids can keep their innocence

In worlds of sins and stimulants

I kneel down to the father and anticipate deliverance

I feel like Harry Mason surrounded by rust and bloodstains

Sometimes I can relate cause protagonist shares my first name

The fog is always thicker on CRT than in my brain

The lines are blurred between this reality and this old game

Sodom and Gomorrah calamity’s on the schedule

You don’t even consider the standard that you been held to

You’ll never hear the message God sent his angel to tell you

Hold a candle to the fuse, kill the prophets, and kiss the devil

[Chorus]

You decided to kill the prophets

Instead of heeding the message

The message was very clear

Now things will start to get messy

You couldn’t just be a David

More like a Nebuchadnezzar

Reciting it like the Torah

Decree it like the Sanhedrin

You decided to kill the prophets (and the children first)

Instead of heeding the message (and the children first)

The message was very clear (and the children first)

Now things will start to get messy (and the children first)

You couldn’t just be a David (and the children first)

More like a Nebuchadnezzar (and the children first)

Reciting it like the Torah

Decree it like the Sanhedrin

Kill the prophet let it be
