Make Up Your Mind

Make the one choice 
as a proud as a deviant 
invulnerable to captivate 
your beliefs to perpetuate 

Be first to self-preach 
be your favourite Saint 
in a world full of religious hate 
once you're free you are never late 

Kill for God's sake? 
what if he didn't exist... 
many lives would've been spared 
no afterlife to chase in race 

then came prophets 
to exercise their pace 
and since then God been 
so rarely or never praised 

Jesus haven't said: 
"she is not a priestess" 
but only the term had 
a feminine right to place 

Before anyone else does 
make your own mind... 
and take the self lead 
draw the theme of your own space 

Create your own tones 
no worthless rhymes... 
if u're not hearing urself... 
just set off the loud base 

your self loud voice 
solo instrument 
to elate your ears... 
helps you abandon your fears 

As cold as ice 
walk into the light 
no matter the jeers... 
they'll be ur future peers
