Lyrics
i'm just a relayer of a message
started back in ancient times with riddles and rhymes
can't you tell that i learned it well?
to meet with destiny is divine
-papa please write me a sermon every Sunday
oh yes i will son
lord knows i can't preach to everyone
-papa please write me a sermon every Sunday
i won't let the seed fall on the rocks dad
you words won't fall on deaf ears
and i want to get to heaven
but i was born in hell right from the start
you and i have seen the darkest of places
some together, but mostly apart
-papa please write me a sermon every Sunday
oh yes i will son
church says i can't preach to everyone
-papa please write me a sermon every Sunday
i won't let the seed fall on the rocks dad
you words won't fall on deaf ears
i think i hurt you more than mom did
cuz know one loves you like i do
but i don't know if you are broken
please God tell me it's not true
and i'm trying to be humble
but i fear I wasn?t made that way
i need you to profess
i do confess... i want the test
-papa please write me a sermon every Sunday
oh yes i will son
Lord knows i can't preach to everyone
-papa please write me a sermon every Sunday
i won't let the seed fall on the rocks dad
you words won't fall on deaf ears
