Juz-
Washed my hands but I'm still dirty
Brush my teeth yet I still cuss
Soak my feet in the lake by the cabin
Yet am I still a savage;
Nappy hair and I don't wash it
Still I smell no one wants to come near me
Change my clothes when I'm made too
wore dirty and torn are my sandals
I am homeless, because I don't want to be with them their people
Who swear they need me
Been accused abused and mistreated
by those clean Christians who so accuse
spit, speak, preach hell fire
Do the same things I do yet you hide it
Juz like the Pharaohs and the Sadducees
You know the scriptures, but ya don't know Jesus
I've done wrong, but it was paid at the cross
I've done sinned, I deserved to be loss
But Jesus, paid for it whole at the cross
did die and rose again so I could enter in
I am homeless, because I don't want
Want to be with them their people
Who swear they need me
Been accused abused and mistreated
by those clean Christians who so accuse
Nappy hair and I don't wash it
Still I smell no one wants to come near me
Change my clothes when I'm made too
wore dirty and torn are my sandals
