Testo Sinny Sin Sins - Roots Manuva
Testo della canzone Sinny Sin Sins (Roots Manuva), tratta dall'album Run Come Save Me
Men sinners
I'd like to talk to you about your sins
Sins on street corners
Sins in your shops
Sins in, sins in those sheets of yours
Sins in your eyes
Sins gonna make you cry
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins?
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins and sinner?
Yeah, no sins like sins
Super sins
I was raised in the Pentecostal Church of God
My father was the deacon who used to stand preaching
I used to steal collection, I used to catch a beating
Forgive me Lord, I knew not what I did
I was just a kid trying to hustle up a quid
Feeling kind of shame riding in the church van
Bible in my hand, dressed in my Sunday best
Reach the churchyard and I'm feeling depressed
I'm in the midst of the well-dressed
Talking 'bout sin, singing thanks and praise to the King of the Jews
And I'm all confused 'cause I can't see the sense
Why should I turn the other cheek and get beat?
Ain't no peace without war, so who am I?
My pastor drives a Benz and got me looking to the sky
Singing soon and very soon we're gonna see the King
Soon and very soon we're all gonna be bling
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins and sinner?
Yeah, no sins like sins
Woke up one Sunday feeling kind of raw
I said, "Dad, I don't really wanna go church no more"
Soon as I said shit I felt a slap to my jaw
He said, "Son, as long as you're living under my roof
You're gonna heed my interpretation of the truth
And the truth is right here, it's written in this book
The Holy Bible is the key to survival
So you best heed the word"
He said, "Do as I say, not what I do and you'll see
Goodness will follow you begrudgingly"
I ironed my shirt, polished my shoes
Went to church and I took in their far out views
With their strange perceptions of Heaven and Hell
To this very day I still fight down their spell
'Cause all that we prayed, we still stay poor
With that leaking roof dripping on the front room floor
Sins gonna make you cry
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins?
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins and sinner?
Yeah, no sins like sins
Super sins
Please don't get me twisted, I'm far from a heathen
This is just a simple song of basic rhyme and reason
It's not my meaning to demean or blaspheme
But most things in the Bible ain't as plain as they seem
Can I trust King James to translate these papers?
Do I need a middle man to link with the Creator?
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
The church band plays, now I'm spending my pound
Looking for a shortcut to the road to Zion
We can't fool God but we waste our time trying
Two-thirds of the truth is yet to be told
Ten thousand years of corruption soon unfold
Sins in your eyes
Sins gonna make you cry
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins?
Oh Lord, can you help me for my sins and sinner?
Yeah, no sins like sins
Super sins
