Letras

[Verse 1]
A lot of these songs too
Some of 'em, you know, they don't even really have titles yet, you know
So if you have any suggestions just uh, you know raise your hand 'cause
I just call, I call 'em like a line in the song, you know
This one, um we referred to as Adam Lives in Theory
And when I refer to Adam, I'm, I'm really speaking about of humanity, you know
Without exception of anybody, you know
[Verse 2]
And I know that, um, a lot of the content in these songs is very heavy, you know
But um, see fantasy is what people want but reality is what they need
And I'm just retired from the fantasy part
Because I realized that, uh
[Verse 3]
Y'all gon' make me cry
[Verse 4]
Adam lives in theory, tryna turn stone into bread
Masquerading like he's got it figured out
Cut off from the sunshine, only smart in his own head
Leaving his descendants to hope and doubt
[Verse 5]
Left to his devices, those worthless sacrifices
Praying to the altar of himself
Making pilgrimages, thinking he's religious
Like he's got all the light and no one else
[Verse 6]
The takes the unsuspected
'Cause he knows they're not connected
And he shows them how to be just as he is
Virtually real and commercially appeal
To the lust of all the people where he lives
[Verse 7]
Eve was so naive, blinded by the pride and greed
Wanting to be intellectual
Drifting from the way, she got turned down one day
And now she thinks that she's bisexual
[Verse 8]
Caught up in emotion, burning up in her devotion
To the king of exploitation in the field
She handed him her virtue 'cause he told her, I won't hurt you
So she lay with him to see how good it feels
[Verse 9]
Now can you tell me what, what we gonna do now?
Where we gonna go now? What we gonna say now?
Now can you tell me what, what we gonna do now?
Where we gonna go now? What we gonna say now?
[Verse 10]
Now after the sensation and the empty fornication
She brought affection home into her bed
Quickly multiplying, now the three of them are dying
By the poison she perceived to be good head
[Verse 11]
Now Eve and her husband are perverted in their judgement
'Cause everything appeared to be the same
They entertain suggestions, next time just use protection
Desiring to cover up their shame
[Verse 12]
But much to their demise, poor decision closed their eyes
To the very antidote to their dilemma
Burning in their lust, both of them adulterous
Destroying the original agenda
[Verse 13]
Praying to the sky in order to maintain a lie
They exhausted every possible conclusion
They can't even entertain the solution in the brain
Filled with vain information and pollution
[Verse 14]
Hiding from the truth
He provided an excuse to explain away his desperate situation
When confronted, blamed his wife
Giving birth to carnal life
Refusing to acknowledge what he done
[Verse 15]
Now if we can agree with who created us to be
Who says we're guilty everyone before his eyes
Making no exceptions since the day of our conception
Predisposed to hating truth and loving lies
[Verse 16]
Then can you tell me what, what we gonna do now?
Where we gonna go now? What we gonna say now?
Now can you tell me what, what we gonna do now?
Where we gonna go now? What we gonna say now?
[Verse 17]
Stop walking in pride, let the thief be crucified
Un-learn everything you know and let Him teach you
Line upon line and precept upon precept
Say goodbye to this decaying social system
[Verse 18]
He wants to know how far we're willing to go
If we love him like we say we do, He'll try us
Just you don't regress or slip into hopelessness
Once He's satisfied His love He won't deny us
[Verse 19]
And then He'll tell us what, what we gonna do now?
Where we gonna go now? What we gonna say now?
And then He'll tell us what, what we gonna do now?
Where we gonna go now? What we gonna say now?
[Verse 20]
I'm telling you, telling you
I'm telling you, I'm telling you
I'm telling you, I'm telling you
He's gonna tell us, tell us, tell us
[Verse 21]
Ooh
Yeah
