Mega Churches and All That Spooky Shit Don’t Make Sense – Tupac (Video)

Mega Churches and All That Spooky Shit Don't Make Sense - Tupac (Video) | Third Monk

“Serving god” can be a very profitable business if you can find the right people to fool.

Tupac talks about the lopsided division of resources between the poor and the rich who brainwash them into blind worship.

Have you seen any of these god damn churches lately? There’s one that takes up the whole block in New York.

There’s homeless people out here, why ain’t god letting them stay there?

Why these niggas got gold ceilings and shit?

Why god need gold ceilings to talk to me?

All that spooky shit don’t make sense

– Tupac: The Lost VIBE Interview, May 1996

Because I feel like, you know, it’s too much money here. I mean, nobody should be hitting Lotto for 36 million and we got people starving in the streets. That is not idealistic, that’s just real. That is just stupid. There’s no way that Michael Jackson or whoever Jackson should have a million thousand droople billion dollars and then there’s people starving. There’s no way! There’s no way that these people should own planes and there people don’t have houses. Apartments. Shacks. Drawers. Pants! I know you’re rich. I know you got 40 billion dollars, but can you just keep it to one house? You only need one house. And if you only got two kids, can you just keep it to two rooms? I mean why have 52 rooms and you know there’s somebody with no room? It just don’t make sense to me. It don’t. And then these people celebrate Christmas. They got big trees, huge trees, all the little trimmings, everybody got gifts and there’s somebody starving. And they’re having a White Christmas. They’re having a great Christmas. Eggnog and the whole 9. That’s not fair to me.” – Tupac Shakur
