Losin My Religion
ESham · Other Songs - ESham
Let's take a trip, back into time, as I explain,
Things ain't the same, I'm goin' back down memory lane.
And as I travel, dirt roads of gravel,
Two sets of foot prints for me and my shadow.
The unholy speaks as I walk in my sleep,
And my speach makes you weak, means my words are too deep.
You see soceity's strung on a Bible and a man,
With the will of the devil to destory and he can.
You see, time after time, have I made up my mind,
Should I be a vegeterian, or die, eat swine.
Can I lose my religon, every day, it's a habit,
Is religon just for kids or am I a silly rabbit?
Am I lost in a book that says sins are forbiden,
Who am I to believe when the Bible was really written?
I don't know, will I die?
I can't live in a lie,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
I'm losin my religon.
Am I wrong or insane, using God's name in vain,
When the preacher sells cocaine, how am I to be sane.
See first he's a preacher, now he's slangin' ki's,
College educated from workin' at Mickey D's.
I got no say in the world today,
Livin' in AmeriKKK.
You call me the devil 'cause I refuse to pray,
But your religious games I refuse to play.
Bible study's not my buddy,
Shake the preacher, now my hand's all bloody.
Daily gossip, religious philosophies,
Nigga please, I'm losin my religon.
Things ain't the same, I'm goin' back down memory lane.
And as I travel, dirt roads of gravel,
Two sets of foot prints for me and my shadow.
The unholy speaks as I walk in my sleep,
And my speach makes you weak, means my words are too deep.
You see soceity's strung on a Bible and a man,
With the will of the devil to destory and he can.
You see, time after time, have I made up my mind,
Should I be a vegeterian, or die, eat swine.
Can I lose my religon, every day, it's a habit,
Is religon just for kids or am I a silly rabbit?
Am I lost in a book that says sins are forbiden,
Who am I to believe when the Bible was really written?
I don't know, will I die?
I can't live in a lie,
Cross my heart and hope to die,
I'm losin my religon.
Am I wrong or insane, using God's name in vain,
When the preacher sells cocaine, how am I to be sane.
See first he's a preacher, now he's slangin' ki's,
College educated from workin' at Mickey D's.
I got no say in the world today,
Livin' in AmeriKKK.
You call me the devil 'cause I refuse to pray,
But your religious games I refuse to play.
Bible study's not my buddy,
Shake the preacher, now my hand's all bloody.
Daily gossip, religious philosophies,
Nigga please, I'm losin my religon.
Losin My Religion
Released by English rapper E-Sham, 'Losin My Religion' stands as a defining track from his 2003 album *Repentance*.

As part of his broader discography, the recording captures the raw energy of his live performances and the specific sonic texture of that era's English hip-hop scene. The track remains a significant representation of E-Sham's ability to fuse religious imagery with street-level narratives, solidifying his reputation as a key figure in the genre's evolution during the mid-2000s.
