notes

1st verse
Separated, I cut myself clean,
from a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams.
Been apprehended by a spiritual force,
and a grace that replaced all of me I’ve divorced.

Rap 1
I saw a man with a tattoo on his big fat belly. It wiggled around like a marmalade jelly.
It took me while to catch what he said, cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head.
Jesus saves is what it raved in typical tattoo green.
He stood on the box in the middle of the city and claimed he had a dream.

Chorus
What will people think, when they hear that I’m a Jesus Freak?
What will people do, when they find out it’s true?
I don’t really care if they label me a Jesus Freak.
Cause there ain’t no disguising the truth.

2nd verse
Kamikaze my death is gain.
I’ve been marked by my maker, a peculiar display.
The high and lofty, they see me as weak,
cause I won’t live and die for the power they seek.

Rap 2:
There was a man from the desert with naps in his hand. The sand that he walked was also his bed.
The words that he spoke made the people assume there wasn’t too much left in the upper room.
With skins on his back and hair on his face, they thought he was a strange by the locusts he ate.
The Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak, until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak.

Chorus

Bridge
People say I’m strange, does it makes me a stranger,
that my best friend was born in a manger?
People say I’m strange does it makes me a stranger,
that my best friend was born in a manger?
