Lyrics

we are waiting,
waiting for the promised land.
said we?re waiting,
waiting for the promised land.

preacher man he said to me:
when you be dead then you be free.
jesus died to turn the key.
open shit up for you and me.

now we?re waiting
waiting for the promised land
said we?re waiting
waiting for the promised land.

i said god, why must it be true
bad muthafukkas so cold to you?
smile in your eyes and pat your back
leave you with a heart attack.

are they waiting
waiting for the promised land?
can they be waiting
waiting for the promised land?

god said, jim you know damn well,
bad muthafukka?s go straight to hell.
but there ain?t no fire, and there ain?t no flame.
they just disappear in their own shame.

they shouldn?t a waited,
waited for the promised land.
they wasted it waiting,
waiting for the promised land.

now i believe in god,
and i believe you.
and i believe that what
you believe comes true.

so i try to keep my
disappointments light;
gots to keep
my spirit bright.

cause i ain?t waiting,
waiting for the promised land.
no more waiting,
waiting for the promised land.
