[Intro]

That's what the problem is

I-it's churches full of people, who say

"I deserve to be with the Father, but you don't"

And I made up a term for it, this week

I think w-we should call it, "Gracism"

And the word, and the definition I'm making up, to define this exact problem

The same thing as racism, gracism

Except, that gracism is not about the color of your skin

It's about the color of your sins


[Verse 1]

Unh, I grew up with a daddy, as a pastor

I grew up with no daddy, I's a bastard

I fall asleep, with the Bible on my nightstand

I never read a page of the Bible, in my life, man


[Verse 2]

I can quote verses, 'til I'm blue in the face, me

I could quote The Blueprint so good, you would think I'm Jay-Z

I like Hillsong, I like Cypress Hill

I praise the most high, I get high as hell


[Verse 3]

I hold signs, on a street corner

Yeah, I sold dimes, on a street corner

I know where I'm goin', when I die

You keep it up, you might just end up goin' there tonight, right?


[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you wouldn't bit that apple, would you?

I guess you perfect, and you prob'ly can't relate, could you?

Too focused on the good Jew

To tell the rest us bad people

'Bout the good news


[Chorus]

Why you actin' like a gracist?

A gracist? A gracist?

I see the hate

It's written all over your faces

Your faces, your faces

Hey, let's face it

You're nothin' but a gracist


[Verse 4]

I'm not a racist, I'm not lookin' at ya' skin

I said gracist, 'cause all you do is throw the book at my sin

I'm just here to tell the truth, take it or leave it, sinner

Okay, let's talk about the truth, when they were eatin' dinner


[Verse 5]

When He broke the bread, remember what He said?

He said he'd cover all our sins, on the day he bled

He ain't say He'd cover only yours

So why you actin' like you washed away your sins?

For some holy chore, out here startin' holy wars?


[Verse 6]

Do you like when people shout at you with a megahorn?

'Til they strain their vocal cords?

Do you think that somehow, the sins you commit, are any different?

Than mine, and therefore, God's grace is insufficient? Woo!


[Verse 7]

Unh, boy, I really hope not

'Cause without God's grace, really, hope is all you got

He said, "Love your neighbor", He never said to judge 'em

We only called to be a witness, end of discussion


[Pre-Chorus]

I guess you wouldn't bit that apple, would you?

I guess you perfect, and you prob'ly can't relate, could you?

Too focused on the good you

To tell the rest us bad people, 'bout the good news


[Chorus]

Why you actin' like a gracist?

A gracist? A gracist?

I see the hate, it's written all over your faces

Your faces, your faces


[Bridge]

Hey, let's face it, you ain't nothin' but a gracist!

A gracist, a gracist!

I see the hate, it's written all over your faces!

Your faces, your faces!


[Chorus]

Hey, let's face it, you ain't nothin' but a gracist!

A gracist, a gracist

I see the hate, it's written all over your faces!

Your faces, your faces


[Outro]

Dear God, don't let me ever be a gracist
