No Way as the Way

My way might not be your way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 Your way might not be my way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 Yeah I used to go to church
 But the church didn't quench my thirst
 Mama taught me to put gold first
 But she never tried to block my search
 I was curious, young but serious
 Wise religion, so mysterious
 Why is black life so hard?
 They say you're not supposed to question God
 Well, is it okay to question the pastor?
 Was it passed down from the slave-master?
 It was only the truth I was after
 But I never could get a straight answer
 So I couldn't be late to the sermon
 Put down the bible, then I start learning
 About life, didn't know where the path would lead
 But I had to get off my knees
 My way might not be your way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 Your way might not be my way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 I build with the fire that's in us
 Only God within us, it's no limits
 Study the med two netter from chemic also, I remembered
 Smoke herb with the Rastafarians
 Who my locks became a vegetarian
 Following the dial, filling what the bible lacks
 Jewels being handed to a innocent child
 My mind is a Buddhist temple, the truth is simple
 I try to be principle, walking with a warrior spirit
 It ain't nothing like learning from first-hand life experience
 I'm a realist, that's all I deal with
 Respect the truth, that's all I build with
 A child of the universe
 My religion is life and it's just as valid
 I strive for balance
 My way might not be your way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 Your way might not be my way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 I gotta admit, I don't know
 End to end, which way it's gonna go
 Why we sit by the project window
 And started living off the land with my kin folk
 Is there even a master plan?
 An unseen hand? Is God a man?
 Some say that's sacrilegious
 Same folks selling us lies about Christmas
 Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny
 Just so the capitalists can make money
 They say God will take care of it
 But you a terrorist if you say the same thing in Arabic
 It's so hypocritical
 It's a miracle, listen to the Mexican spirituals
 Weighed in the water, I'm following Mr. Minute
 That turn I'm paying for my freedom
 I'm heading for the border
 My way might not be your way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
 Your way might not be my way
 But it's okay
 It's alright
