Funky Jesus

"Funky Jesus" is the eighth track from Inception of Perfection.

Story
"Funky Jesus" follows a married couple struggling with their relationship. The track begins with a man named Stephen praying to God with the hope of finding answers. Instead, his prayers are answered by the eponymous character who claims to know how to rekindle Stephen's marriage. Funky Jesus' help merely consists of advice on how to "get funky", which angers Stephen to the point where he interrupts the song and demands proper assistance. Funky Jesus responds by finally co-operating with Stephen until he returns to his original ways and even offers Stephen's wife, Fiona, the chance to go with him instead and enjoy a life "filled with funk". Stephen attempts to convince Fiona to stay, but Fiona rejects him and leaves with Funky Jesus. Shocked and confused, Stephen begs Fiona to return and breaks down in tears as the track ends.

Lyrics
This is the story of a man who's trying his best to fight for the woman he loves And has no choice, but to turn to the last resort Stephen: Please, God, hear my prayer I fear I'm losing her She's my one and only I don't want her to leave me Oh, what do I do? Funky Jesus: I hear you need guidance, young one Stephen: Oh thank God you came Funky Jesus: Oh don't thank God, thank Jesus. Funky Jesus Stephen: What? Funky Jesus: I hear you're down in the dumps, my friend I hear you're trying your best to make amends That you give each other oral, but you can't get it up Your marriage is breaking down 'cause you just can't fu-- Stephen: Whoa! Whoa! I never said that I... I can't connect with her anymore mentally, emotionally Funky Jesus: My mistake!
