Deep Song About Agnosticism
Vagabond
Explorer
Here is a song that I had found online, "Tell Me" by Rough Draft. It is about agnosticism and reflects the author's beliefs. Yes, it is a rap song, but believe it or not, there is a tremendous amount of respectable talent here. I just thought I'd post it here and see what you guys think of it. He has the lyrics in the description but I posted them here as well (below the video)
Lyrics:
[Chorus] X2
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what lead you on, I'd love to know
[Verse 1]
Now do you think Thugz Mansion is full of magic where souls come after thy're old?
Some ask but I'm sure none answered it full, but laugh when they're told if God exists,
he's somethin' unfathomable, dumb animals
Like us can't fuckin' hold or grasp what's factual
So go and trash the manual they tell you is perfected and
know the back-up plan you always tend to just forget:
When you don't get handed actual info that's just as rational as open facts, just glance through old age texts to get the message
If noone knew about our solar map through models and inventions,
and you were now told earth is flat, you all would just accept it
Cuz humans hate admittin that we're new to space predictions
and disprovin' fake religions will improve our state of wisdom and just
do away with ignoramuses accumulatin' on the puny face of this earth, makin kids get fuled with hatred
Cuz they're too afraid to make a lunar base
but ancient ruins may be too adjacent to your truest sanctum to just save
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Explainin quantum physics to a penguin while you're givin him
equations, models, images, a page from college visits is the
same as God indulgin' ya with the meaning of life
It's straight impossible just to give the reading a try
We really think that we're high force and powerful
cuz no other life form on our globe is as easy to find
but is that really applied to anything but this pebble here?
We're stuck in second gear on the metal sphere with one exit we're
aware of, and I'm no college guy
but it seems like this earth can be modeled down to somethin' that of microscopic size
So if I'm right here, a light year might look like those solid lines
around an atom in a random Bio project slide
And I know all the guys who like closed common minds are prolly laughin, crackin' jokes, and just can't find no compromise
Yeah I know, but that further just proves my whole song to me
We find no problem definin' personal views in quantity
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
And I'm not sayin' your belief is immoral or wrong
Trust me, I think before I speak when recordin' a song
and everything I sorta indulged upon religiously
is contradictory, but it's more of a bond
The big bang's fully as feesible
as faith can be with teachings told
in pages we can read and hold but thankfully,
it's safe for me to speak from both the A-and-theist point of view
Cuz favoring a single road disables me to join the two
And I avoid the use of hateful speech with voice-abusin'
poison spewed distastefully, I'm grateful we enjoy a few
different rejoicin' groups, like an infinite choice of Buddhist principles,
the voice of Jews, and the Christians who hoist the crucifix
and then Sequoias, Muslims, the Vedas, the Tora, you
think I'm gettin annoyin too? I'll just get to the point for you
We gotta hold onto somethin; religion summons faith
And whether it's right or it's wrong, what difference does it make?
[Chorus]
