from the songs album unknown
[gotee remix for nine six]
Separated, i cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me i've divorced
I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause i had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
'jesus saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream
(chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that i'm a jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth
Kamikaze my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause i won't live and die for the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this jesus freak
(repeat chorus)
People say i'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say i'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks
Peek into my past and my rhymes seem greek
For i wasn't the man that i am today
See i ran the games like tate manned his fade
Max was a factor in those early days
We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays
Until the word cut through us like a buck knife
And so deep, i'll be a freak for life
(repeat chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that i'm a jesus freak
[what will people think?]
What will people do when they find that it's true
[what will people do?]
I don't really care if they label me a jesus freak
[what else can i say?]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[jesus is the way]
(repeat 2x)
What will people think?
I don't really care
