Lyrics

[Intro] I wanna talk to you about something God put on my heart The lord put this on my heart Today I want to talk to you about moving past your past My brothers and sisters at Harbor Baptist I'm here to tell you that you have permission to change your life You have permission to become a better you You have permission to travel down a higher road Y'all don't hear me though [Chorus] Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name (On God) My friend OD'd with a needle in his arm, I hope he didn't die in vein (On God) Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on heaven and earth the same But I gotta hustle for my daily bread out here Lord And I don't wanna burn in flames [Hook] Holy water Holy water Holy water Holy water [Verse 1: KXNG Crooked] I told no lies on the Baby remix with Ashanti Nigga, I was strapped in the church Death Row chain on my neck back then they would have shot me If I ain't get to clap at them first My past in reverse I'm looking at the future and I don't wanna be a black man at his worst But I had a nightmare, I was trapped in a hearse I was rappin' a verse 'bout passin' a curse to my family, it hurts If my kids gotta pay for the sins of the father, you know The bricks and the ganja, you know The clips and the choppers and all the shit we did in the Harbor To get to a dollar Life's a movie feel like I'm living in a cinema The city is full of shit like I'm livin' in an enema Had a similar feelin' while I was sittin' with a minister I'm really beginnin' to think sinnin' is the end of us Sendin' us to a whole 'nother place Whole 'nother space, somewhere I don't wanna be If I catch a case I'm looking in the mirror, my enemy's in front of me, yeah It's enough to drive you cuckoo Now I meditate instead of watching Hulu Travel through space like Doctor Who do Align with the universe Chakra Zulu [Chorus] Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name (On God) My friend OD'd with a needle in his arm, I hope he didn't die in vein (On God) Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on heaven and earth the same But I gotta hustle for my daily bread out here Lord And I don't wanna burn in flames [Hook] Holy water Holy water Holy water Holy water [Verse 2: Joell Ortiz] Give me a bath in that I was walking 'round my habitat like where my people with the habits at Gotta hustle for my daily bread, I'm serving people that are nearly dead I held on to a lot of the stories over the years But today I think I'll share instead like one time A customer of mine said he need a dime But he only got nine dollars to his name, I said "That's fine" As we did the transaction he asked, "Yo, you play video games?" I said "No", he said "Never mind" On to the next person in line, that's Teresa Boy did she use to be fine but that reefer Turned to laced blunts with rocks And no need for weed or anything else but rock so she's either Hustling for chips sucking dick for another hit Or in a supermarket sticky fingers aisle number six Going down her leg with body wash and detergent Ironic that she stank and all of her clothes dirty Anyway I was out six in the morning, it's four thirty Had a great day, I'm taking off early Swear to God think the law heard me DT's pull up hop out, one of them walk towards me Pick up my pace, he picks up his pace I turn around and looked the pig in the face, give him that look like I'm the wrong nigga to chase, he gave a look like You better finish this race or I'ma whip your ass when I catch you I'm running down Kingsland Ave then I slash through the community center Come out the back to the back staircase of two eighty Moving fast through the building don't know nobody but have to Get in one of these apartments I take the last few steps to the top floor See the back of a woman walkin' in Push her heard as hell then I lock the door Turn around crack head Teresa on the floor Oh shit, then I hear a voice in the back spazzin', better find that shit Walks out the back then sees me My nine dollar customer from earlier asking, "What the fuck happened?" I say "Shhh" Cops chased me off the block I'ma give you a couple rocks for letting me lay low while they passin' Then a little boy walks out crying, "It's not only 2K dad, I can't find Madden" [Chorus] Our father, who art in heaven, hollowed be thy name (On god) My friend OD'd with a needle in his arm, I hope he didn't die in vein (On god) Thy kingdom come thy will be done, on heaven and earth the same But I gotta hustle for my daily bread out here lord And I don't wanna burn in flames [Hook] Holy water Holy water Holy water Holy water Holy water Holy water [Verse 3: KXNG Crooked] You're dealin' with a two-headed goat It ain't a better crew, let it go It's cool, let 'em know The C-R, the two letter O's The K's and the blue leather coat Giving you and who ever smoke, then I zoom like a new telescope In a shoot out, a dude never choke A rebel on track like the devil on crack You can assume a dude hella dope LA and New York are both on the water Put 'em together and now you fuckin' with the Harbor Negative reviews got me lookin' for the author I never met a bulletproof blogger, nah See you in front of the club chilling, you was hanging out You was out of pocket like a bandanna Shoot two off, the Glock gotta infrared nose like Rudolph Slide down my enemies chimney like I'm bad Santa I could've blew off your head but I didn't Too many are dyin', the city is cryin' And niggas are buying the prettiest iron to kill us all While we livin' inside an insidious hideous lion Am I lying? Hell no, dawg, it's the belly of the beast We switch roles, I'm the Biggie of the West Mr. Ortiz, Makaveli of the East
