Right.

So,

At what point do we, the black church, which does exist, like it is a thing, you know what I'm saying?

We could say that we don't want to discriminate by churches, but there is a black church.

How do we not ignore that?

What does God tell us?

You know what I'm saying?

And I think like the...

all of those parts of the song are still like an examination they're not statements you know they're not meant to be statements from me i'm playing a character there's this you know in the bible at the end of the bible like there's a lot of um if you ever heard of romans or thessalonians or galatians or like any of the ones that end with ans at the end yeah corinthians these are uh letters to

to Corinth to the, to, so these are the Corinthian letters or these are, you know, these, these are letters from this dude, Paul, that were chastising the churches in these different cities that were not practicing the gospel the way that they were supposed to.

And so there's a lot of jokes on some Christian, like we want to get into like Christian jokes.

Like people always talk about like the letters that we would receive if, if Paul was to write a letter to the church of America, like if this was America's in the Bible, that whole thing would be,

a scathing letter.

So it's like, I write those three verses from that perspective.

And then the last one, I just kind of examine what it means to be the body of Christ.

And so to answer your question in short, it was very hard to like, I think publish the song.

Cause I know that there's going to be a visceral reaction from people that feel like you talking about the church and you talking about my God.

And there's also going to be, you know, people that'd be like, Oh, right message, wrong messenger or whatever.

So like,

publishing it is hard.
