As God Is Our Witness
as God is our witness…
you told me you loved her
adored her
could see no beauty like her
worshiped her
would never hurt her
she was your queen
the greatest creation seen
then you changed
became deranged
cursed her
debased her
embarrassed her
raped her
said you made love to her
deranged
like a mad dog
with the mange
you went and hit her
forgot to remember
what I said
‘bout gon’n up side yo head
that’s why you’re nearly dead
and I’ll gladly stand accused
of defending the abused
touch my baby a’gin
and ’om gonna commit a cardinal sin
take my case to the bench
plead the 5th and old testament
so you better look out boy
wallowing in your feigning joy
you better open your eyes and see
there’re a lot out here just like me
abuse our baby one more time
and it’ll surely be your last crime:
as God is our witness
you need to start praying for forgiveness.
