[Intro] In this world so full of evil we must pray for all the people Children dying people hurting, I just wonder if it's worth it [Verse] And I, Lord have mercy, I'm screaming Lord have mercy Somebody come and save me think the devil's tryna hurt me Or maybe its vice a verse like that pastor once said And since we're talking 'bout pastors not to mention- One's dead right along with a father, a mother, and someone's sister He murdered 'em while they worshipped And we're supposed to forgive him? How? Sway my perspective and I ain't talking that 'Ye West Tryna find some answers this the hardest I done prayed yet Now they're tryna save him by claiming that he was crazy Or temporary insanity acting like he ain't plan to be The devil in disguise while his eyes saw demise And left some blood on them aisles Man I swear this world is wild Trying not to hold a grudge but I swear I got a vice grip Far from Gabby Douglas but I promise you I might flip Throw salt in that wound, guaranteed to make it sting That bastard is still alive and they took him to Burger King But let the roles reverse and the shooter one of my people And not a baptist church but a Roman Catholic cathedral He would've been six hundred and sixty six types of evil And the bullets mutilating his body like they did Jesus [Hook] Set the Roof on Fire, maybe we should let it burn You may not feel it now, but I bet you'll get your turn 'Cause respect wasn't given its something you gotta earn And you'll never get an ounce of that as far as I'm concerned [Verse] Lawd, forgive me Lawd please forgive me I know it's prolly sinning as softly as she's been killing me Telling me not to let the world stress me Now come on over here and let me take all your aggression Just use your special tool and come fill up all my spaces Now give me that Bic til you feel alleviated I know its not too often but I swear that you're the greatest When you throw me on my back and then get deep with my pages (in my pages) Man, its outrageous a place we should feel safest Can literally take us from praising to meet our maker What if Martin was your neighbor with Malcolm touting as pastor Would your story carry-on for would that be the final chapter There's killers roaming free, while activists are in prison Should that roof cave in or should we hold up the building There's many more just like him It's frightening that we don't know about Maybe if we set this roof on fire we can smoke him out Hmm.. Well I don't know 'bout that Every we time we get a grip, they keep holding us back And by they... Well you define whatever that means But it don't matter to you 'less its on your flatscreen (hey) [Hook] Set the Roof on Fire, maybe we should let it burn You may not feel it now, but I bet you'll get your turn 'Cause respect wasn't given its something you gotta earn And you'll never get an ounce of that as far as I'm concerned [Nope] [Outro] In this world so full of evil we must pray for all the people Children dying people hurting, I just wonder if it's worth it
