| We ‘bout to go to church, I know you hear the organ chords
|
| You preaching to the choir in the chapel corridor
|
| Lord forgive me for all the shit I done before
|
| My coordinates have turned me to a carnivore
|
| That little hottie you got ain’t no Coretta Scott
|
| A little fed time pass, I bet them letters stop
|
| But niggas never gon' change, just like the leopard’s spots
|
| I got a flow that stay flooded as when the levees dropped
|
| So all my lyrics is possessed with the spirits
|
| Of children that couldn’t make it, God damn I know you hear it
|
| When the shot clear out and the echoes go
|
| Kids playing with techs, no Tecmo Bowl
|
| Big cousin got murdered, big brother got a life bid
|
| Cancer took my father from me, this is how my life is
|
| Playing Smokey Robinson and waiting for the miracles
|
| Looking in the mirror with a mind full of spirituals
|
| My God!
|
| No gossip, this is that gospel rap
|
| Resurrect on the track, now the gods are back
|
| Somebody pray for me, because the devil’s trying to get me
|
| Just pray for me, because the devil’s trying to get me
|
| This is tarantula rap, on the hammer crack
|
| But no pictures posted, I’m a poet perhaps
|
| I’m walking through the streets where all the toasters is at
|
| Find me anywhere like throwin' the door to the mat
|
| No matter the locale
|
| From New York City to SoCal
|
| New school niggas should slow down
|
| If not, then prepare for the showdown
|
| At any given time it can go down
|
| I walk with the ghost of a panther, the antlers of a devil
|
| Rebel without a cause, pulling strings like Geppeto
|
| Part of my team, too practical to settle
|
| The beat I’ve got a have it like Edo, hello
|
| I am not a soloist, I don’t play the cello
|
| Metal rippin', strayin' through the walls faster than a tempo
|
| I don’t bang unless it’s on instrumentals
|
| You can hear the pain, I wish life was so simple
|
| Ready for any altercation, the pen and the pad is my main squeeze
|
| Lyrics is cold, sometimes I get a brain freeze
|
| I can’t leave, my mind thinking the same schemes
|
| Pedal to the floor, flowin' at the same speed
|
| Can it be I’m a deity of the city streets?
|
| Searching for inner peace, demons seemingly envy me
|
| This is a life that I can’t change
|
| Got to maintain, still staring out the window with the AK
|
| Reading Ezekiel, still I’m keeping my heater close
|
| Puffin' this reefer and prayin' that we don’t overdose
|
| The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost trinity
|
| Baptize my words with a cup that’s full of Hennessy
|
| Crusade the streets in a nice rimmed car
|
| During midnight we ride like the Knights Templar
|
| Think smart I do, a disciple I am
|
| This is a leap of faith I take, I man
|
| My brothers and sisters, this evening my service concern. |
| I want you to,
|
| want you to dig down. |
| I said I want you to dig … I’m talkin' ‘bout way down.
|
| And then I want you to come up. |
| Come up, with the paper. |
| ‘Cause I got to have
|
| it. |
| You know, some of you out there, you say to yourself, you say,
|
| «You got all that money, and you seem to be always beggin'.» |
| I ain’t beggin'.
|
| I’m just tryin' to relieve you of some of that paper, ‘cause I got to have it |
