[Verse 1: Daveed Diggs]
Gods
Flesh is hanging in sun
Purple sky and this war
Women shooting their guns
Men protecting their shores
Running red as these ships
Made for cargo and death
Is a taste on the lips
Kissing any ground left
To the sky with them all
Not a one left on land
Traded in for steel hauls
And they singing like:
[Chorus: Paul Outlaw]
True believer, I know when I'm goin' home
True believer, I know when I'm goin' home
True believer, I know when I'm goin' home
I've been afraid—
[Verse 2: Daveed Diggs]
Three siblings happen to be gods
And they fight, as siblings do
The world was only water then
The universe was fresh and new
Enefa poisoned Bumba’s food
Wants just to see what he would do
He vomited the sun, which dried
The water, leaving land and soon
After came Moon and stars and animal
And man of many hues
The white one in the image of
A sickly god would get his dues
