Lyrics and translation
Original
These walls keep gettin' closer
I can't take it much longer
They clipped my wings
Kept me from gettin' much stronger
Pumped full of these pills
They wanna curb my anger
They say the wicked gon' burn
For the next life in the hellfire
But I don't have a master
I ain't waitin' for my rapture
Don't you see that we all captured?
Ain't no heaven waitin' for me after
So I'm gonna let it burn, burn
God is an animal
Give me damnation
To hit the top of the food chain
Murder my salvation (uh)
God is an animal (whoa-oh-oh)
Give me damnation (whoa-oh)
To hit the top of the food chain (whoa-oh-oh)
Murder my salvation
Cut our lips so we'd never talk back
Took the young from our hands
They came, saw, conquered
But still this is our land
They wanna chop me down at the knee
Use me as an example
But the black hawk flies
While the chicken gets trampled
I don't have a master
I ain't waitin' for my rapture
Don't you see that we all captured?
Ain't no heaven waitin' for me after
So I'm gonna let it burn, motherfucker, burn
God is an animal
Give me damnation
To hit the top of the food chain
Murder my salvation (uh)
God is an animal (whoa-oh-oh)
Give me damnation (whoa-oh)
To hit the top of the food chain (whoa-oh-oh)
Murder my salvation
Nothin' can stop our rise
Nothin' can stop us
I wanna see the look that's in their eyes
When they watch us black out, the sky
Nothin' can stop our rise
Nothin' can stop us
Even when my heart stops beatin'
I know the revolution won't die
God is an animal
Give me damnation
To hit the top of the food chain (the revolution won't die)
Murder my salvation (the revolution won't, the revolution won't)
God is an animal (whoa-oh-oh)
God is an animal (whoa-oh)
God is an animal (whoa-oh-oh)
Give me my salvation (whoa)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha)
Uh, uh
Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo
