My way might not be your way
But its okay
Its alright, your way might not be my way
But its okay
Its alrightYea, I used to go to church
But the church didnt quench my thirst
Mama taught me to put god first
But she never tried to block my search
I was curious, young but serious
Wise religion, so mysterious
Why is black life so hard?
They say youre not supposed to question God
Well is it okay to question the pastor?
Was it passed down from the slave-master?
It was only the truth I was after
But I never could get a straight answer
So I couldnt be late to the sermon
Put down the bible, then I start learning
About life, didnt know where the path would lead
But I had to get off my kneesMy way might not be your way
But its okay
Its alright, your way might not be my way
But its okay
Its alrightI build with the fire thats in us
Only God within us, its no limits
Study the med 2 netter from chemic
Also I remembered
Smoke herb with the Rastafarians
Who my locks became a vegetarian
Following the dial, filling what the bible lacks
Jewels being handed to a innocent child
My mind is a Buddhist temple, the truth is simple
I try to be principle
Walking with a warrior spirit
It aint nothing like learning from first hand life experience
Im a realist, thats all I deal with
Respect the truth, thats all I build with
A child of the universe
My religion is life and its just as valid
I strive for balanceMy way might not be your way
But its okay
Its alright, your way might not be my way
But its okay
Its alrightI gotta admit, I dont know
End to end which way its gonna go
Why we sit by the project window?
And started living off the land with my kin folk
Is there even a master plan?
An unseen hand? Is God a man?
Some say thats sacrilegious
Same folks selling us lies about Christmas
Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
Just so the capitalists can make money
They say God will take care of it
But you a terrorist if you say the same thing in Arabic
Its so hypocritical
Its a miracle, listen to the Mexican spirituals
Weighed in the water, Im following Mr. Minute
That turn Im paying for my freedom
Im heading for the borderMy way might not be your way
But its okay
Its alright, your way might not be my way
But its okay
Its alrightMy way might not be your way
But its okay
Its alright, your way might not be my way
But its okay
Its alrightMy way might not be your way
But its okay
Its alright, your way might not be my way
But its okay
Its alright
