about

This track is a warning ✨

lyrics

All I got to say is
We’ve been in pain
And the doctor said
“You oughta be mighty thankful you’re hurting
That’s a warning something’s wrong”
He could have lied about it and let her die
But he told her the truth
The pain was a warning something dead wrong
So I went through clinics
And they picked me, and they did this
And they did everything medical science could do
And I had people lay hands on me
I was anointed with oil
I believe in those things, don’t know ‘bout you
But it didn’t do me any good
They could not correct my troubles
What I’m saying, ladies and gentlemen
Is that the pain signals are everywhere now
And I think that we must recognize them
As acts of god’s mercy
Saying there’s something desperately wrong with our churches
You and I are living in a generation that has torn itself to pieces
Everything of value is being stripped now
Inside and outside
Government, home, and school
We must not ignore the flashing signals of pain
If women are not their own
That is blasphemous and disgraceful
I’m constantly trying to help people hear me
‘Cause I got sense enough to know
I’m going against years of tradition
Years of custom
And I’m just a little peanut preacher
And so I appreciate you listening to me
