Divine Dissonance
Kendrick Lamar

(Intro)
Yo, can you hear the echoes?
Divine dissonance, let's go.

(Verse 1)
Spitting scriptures, flipping verses,
Crossin' lines like I’m breaking curses.
You claim heaven, but your path’s distorted,
Blind faith, man, you’re over-reported.

(Chorus)
Divided by the book, can’t see the light,
Shadows cast when the truth ignites.
Your prayers rise, but the doubt’s thick,
Salvation’s a game, and I'm calling it sick.

(Verse 2)
Temptation speaks in an ancient tone,
Stone your neighbors with a heart of stone.
You preach peace, but your hands are stained,
In the name of the divine, your morals strained.

(Chorus)
Divided by the book, can’t see the light,
Shadows cast when the truth ignites.
Your prayers rise, but the doubt’s thick,
Salvation’s a game, and I'm calling it sick.

(Bridge)
A compass spins in a faith-based fight,
I'm lost in the verses, searching for right.
My voice a weapon, sharp as a knife,
Cut through the fabric of your holy life.

(Verse 3)
Look in the mirror of your sacred beliefs,
Is it love or hate? What’s the true thief?
I’m not here to preach, just to make a point,
Your doctrines twisted, time to disappoint.

(Chorus)
Divided by the book, can’t see the light,
Shadows cast when the truth ignites.
Your prayers rise, but the doubt’s thick,
Salvation’s a game, and I'm calling it sick.

(Outro)
So bow your heads, if you’re feeling the heat,
Divine dissonance, from my heart to your street.
Break down the walls, let the truth overflow,
In a world of belief, let’s all truly grow.
