Welcome 2 America

Lyrics to Same Page, Different Book
Uh, uh
Check it, one, two, uh

I hitched a train (mmhmm) between here and St. Paul
Had no idea (no) had to sleep in a pig stall (Dirty, dirty)
Once I got home, the dirt that covered me
Nothing like the disappointment that you would never see

Same page but a different book
So much more in common if you'd only look
There's only one God (one God), whatever name we took
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?

Breathe
Let it breathe

New kids on the block tryin' to make their bed
(Mmm) Here come another rock (here come y'all) upside their head
There go the missiles headed for the 'hood (Oh Lord)
Trigger another car bomb did nobody no good

But we're on the same page but a different book
So much more in common if you'd only look
There's only one God (one God), whatever name we took (Whatever...)
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?

Alright, listen y'all
We're about to let this thing just groove
Mm, move
C'mon

Chapter, verse, which came first?
Thinkin' too slow while they snatch your purse
Faith, love, good deeds, practicing what you preach
Between you and me, TV ain't reality
That's right, I said it, it's said
Buy this, cop that, all up in yo' head
Twenty-four hour news, that ain't right, huh
These suckers got you daydreamin' at midnight (Hey)
Huh

Galatians Chapter 3 says
The law was as good as dead
Have faith in the life, death, and resurrection of the second Adam instead
Would bring our souls' salvation
Iif there's works in the faith we choose
But if you're all alone throwin' stones
Who do you think's gonna lose, who do you think's gonna lose?

Same page (oh) but a different book (Hehe)
So much more in common (hey) if you'd only look (Only look y'all)
One God (yes it is), whatever name we took (Tell 'em)
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for? (Oh)

Same page, different book
Same page, different book
Same page, different book
Only matters when it comes to war
What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?

Same page, different book
Watch out for the sinister minister
They out there y'all
Uh
Same page (looka here), different book
You better off chillin' 'til the world ends, mm
What are we, what are we, what are we fighting for?
