The piece is a repetitive, rhythmic spoken‑word performance that denounces self‑appointed religious figures who preach the gospel, baptize followers, and claim moral authority while secretly engaging in immoral behavior. The speaker repeatedly labels these preachers as “lions in sheepskins,” highlighting the contrast between their outward piety and inner corruption.
