Peace - this is 
Spike Lee 
A.k.a. Shelton 
Jackson Lee 
A.k.a. loving husband and father of 
Tonya and 
Satchel and 
Jackson I'm here with 
De La Soul 
A.k.a. De 
La, a.k.a. 
The Plugs 
We're about to get in this song, "Church" 
A.k.a. "It's Reality"!  
Aiyyo, wake up! 
Wipe the sleep from ya eyecracks 
It's time to focus y'all, fix ya 
I-MAX In other words, listen to the brother's words 
Ingest these anecdotes with 
HOPE and ya ass, may learn how to 
COPE It's not always good just to get by 
Who's coverin' ya stakes when ya bet high? 
You're cha-sin', cars, clothes and rocks 
Identify with the goods you got 
Make sure it's 
V-S-One, not and perfect, leavin' you one clear 
I really don't care to see ya tattoos there 
I'd rather see you graduate the school year 
Black folk, go put a book in ya face 
But first give the hook a taste 
Bring the preacher in!  
Heal! Heal, y'all! 
We comin' healin'! {
It's real!} 
It's real! {
It's real!} 
It's real! 
It's realer than real, realer than real 
Heal! Heal, y'all! 
We comin' healin'! {
It's real!} 
It's real! {
It's real!} 
It's real! 
It's realer than real, realer than real  
It's a sick world that we live in, let some tell it 
Some put it in books, some yell it 
You need to make your own choice, be your own voice 
Set ya soap-box up, let your talk fight 
Pull ya socks up, get ya walk right 
Or the chalk might outline ya one day 
You oughta try steppin' outside you one day 
You circle round yourself like you the answer 
To the question of your inner son 
But keep ya falsehoods to a minimum (minimum ) 
We all need a little church 
A life update, keyword - update 
If they don't serve change, don't bite the bait 
Instead'a givin' you a share, servin' you a dish 
I lead you to the water, show you how to fish 
Ain't nothin' wrong makin' that bread wid'it 
But don't let the bread get to ya head, geddit? 
Admit it, when you can't stand alone 
I wanna stand up, give all the pretend up 
And get a full blast of my demands of the rhyme runner said the man's come 
There's something in our words that reveal (reveal ) 
Sho 'nough real!  
Heal y'all! 
We come to heal! 
So let it heal you!{
It's real!} 
It's real! (It's real!) 
It's real! 
It's realer than real, realer than real 
Heal y'all! 
We gonna heal it! 
So let it heal! {
It's real!} 
It's real! {
It's real!} 
So real! It's realer than real, for real, for real  
The early bird gets the worm in this rotten apple 
But explore deep and you will the find the seed 
Plant more ether, get your mind free 
We roll passsionate, put your lights last in it 
You're holdin fear too close, unfasten it! 
And like old age invades youth 
Invade falseness with truth 
Replace rebelling with rebirth 
Face new dwelling, that's your turf 
Lean back and put your feet up on the sofa 
Relax! (Relax! ) learn how to punch back 
And do your work to the max 
The payoff's much sweeter than the payback 
Even the haysack needle wouldn't play that 
So let's pray at, church (church )  
Heal! Heal, y'all! 
We comin' healin'! {
It's real!} 
It's real! {
It's real!} 
It's real! 
It's realer than real, realer than real 
Heal y'all! 
We comin' healin'! 
So let it heal! {
It's real!} 
It's real! {
It's real!} 
It's real! 
It's realer than real, realer than real   
Realityyyyyyy! 
Realityyyyyyy-eeeeeeeeeee-reeeeaaall!   
You know what 
I mean? Rap outsold crack 
You know, so rap....or hip-hop culture however you wanna dice it, you know what 
I'm sayin' it's the most powerful drug there is, man it changed corporate 
America, it changed the way you feel about me it change the way 
I, I do my thing now 
Busta was the one who came out, on the award show and said that hip-hop provides jobs for people who don't even love the shit
I mean, come one man, 
I mean what else is there to say?!
