Lyrics

[Intro: This Week In Bible Prophecy] God has a plan, and the Bible unfolds that wonderful plan through the message of prophecy God sent Jesus into this world to be our savior And that Christ is returning someday soon To unfold the wonderful plan of eternity For my life and your life As long as we're cooperating with God By accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and savior Unless the Lord does return in the coming seven days We'll see you next time here on This Week in Bible Prophecy [Intro: Makaveli] 2Pac, don't start that blasphemy in here! Makaveli, the new breed And I remember what my pops told me The new word, follow me Remember what my pops told me [Verse 1: Makaveli] My family tree consists of drug dealers, thugs and killers Strugglin', known to hustle, screamin', "Fuck their feelings!" I got advice from my father, all he told me was this: "Nigga, get off your ass if you plan to be rich! There's ten rules to the game, but I'll share with you two Know niggas gon' hate you for whatever you do Now, rule one: get your cash on, M.O.B. That's Money Over Bitches, 'cause they breed envy Now, rule two is a hard one: watch for phonies Keep your enemies close, nigga, watch your homies" It seemed a little unimportant, when he told me, I smiled Picture jewels bein' handed to an innocent child I never knew, in my lifetime, I'd live by these rules Initiated as an Outlaw, studyin' rules Now, papa ain't around, so I gotta recall Or come to grips with bein' written on my enemy's walls Promise if I have a seed, I'mma guide him right Dear Lord, don't let me die tonight I got words for my comrades, listen and learn Ain't nothin' free, give back what you earn No doubt, gettin' higher than a motherfucker, bless me, please This Thug Life'll be the death of me Come on, yeah [Bridge: 2Pac] And I remember what my poppa told me Remember what my pops told me Blasphemy! [Chorus: Prince Ital Joe & Makaveli] Nuffa dem dat steal in the name of da Lord Dem a tell nuff lie, but holdin' my bird in a cloud (Remember what my pops told me) Using the name of the Lord in vain (blas-blas-blasphemy, blasphemy) (Remember what my pops told me) While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain [Verse 2: Makaveli] We probably in Hell already, our dumb asses not knowin' Everybody kissin' ass to go to Heaven ain't goin' Put my soul on it, I'm fightin' devil niggas daily Plus the media be crucifyin' brothers severely Tell me I ain't God's son; nigga Momma a virgin We got evicted, had to leave the 'burbs Back in the ghetto, doin' wild shit Lookin' at the Sun don't pay Criminal mind all the time, wait for Judgment Day They say Moses split the Red Sea I split the blunt and rolled a fat one up, deadly Babylon beware, comin' for the Pharaoh's kids Retaliation, makin' legends off the shit we did Still bullshittin' niggas in Jerusalem waitin' for signs God comin', she's just takin' her time (Haha!) Livin' by the Nile, while the water flow I'm contemplatin' plots, wonderin' where the thought'll go Brothers gettin' shot, comin' back resurrected It's just that raw shit, nigga, check it (That raw shit) [Bridge: Makaveli] And I remember what my poppa told me Remember what my poppa told me Blasphemy! [Chorus: Prince Ital Joe & Makaveli] Nuffa dem dat steal in the name of da Lord Dem a tell nuff lie, but holdin' my bird in a cloud (Remember what my pops told me) Using the name of the Lord in vain (Remember what my pops told me) While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain (What!) [Verse 3: Makaveli] The preacher want me buried, why? 'Cause I know he a liar Have you ever seen a crackhead? That's eternal fire Why you got these kids' minds thinkin' that they evil? While the preacher bein' freaky, you say, "Honor God's people" Should we cry when the Pope die? My request: We should cry if they cried when we buried Malcolm X Mama, tell me: am I wrong? Is God just another cop Waitin' to beat my ass if I don't go pop? Memories of a past time, givin' up cash to the leaders Knowin' damn well they ain't gonna feed us In my brain, how can you explain time in B.C.? It's hard enough to live now in these times of greed They say Jesus is a conman Well, he should understand times in this crime land My thug nation, do what you gotta do but know you gotta change Try to find a way to make it out the game I leave this and hope God can see my heart is pure Is Heaven just another door? I leave this here I leave this and hope God see my heart is pure Is Heaven just another door? And my people say [Chorus: Prince Ital Joe & Makaveli] Nuffa dem dat steal in the name of da Lord Dem a tell nuff lie, but holdin' my bird in a cloud (Remember what my pops told me) Using the name of the Lord in vain (Can't I remember what my poppa told me, blasphemy) While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain [Collision] Our Father, who art in Heaven Hallowed be Thy name Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done In Earth as it is in Heaven Give us today our daily bread And forgive us our debts As we forgive our debtors Lead us not into temptation But deliver us from evil For God is the kingdom and the power And the glory forever and ever and ever
