I used to go to church El Boogie dropped the hearse
I woke up this morning I was feeling kinda high
It was me Jesus Christ and Haile Selassie Selassie I said greets in the name of the
most high Jairus the far right Christ
Took a sip of the Amaretto Passed it down the table
Said today I'll be betrayed by one of you twelve disciples
Give me a clue who can do this to you The kid on the block who make less money than
you But keep calm for a while
They offered him thirty pieces of silver All he gotta do is deliver this savior
Right on Bergen street from bad luck to good luck
My cup runneth over pass it down gusl up The time have arrived the prophecy will manifest
I saw death I got scared butterflies on my chest
Father if possible pass this cup before me Yo it's too late I chose my destiny in Gethsemane
You see I loved hard once but the love wasn't returned
I found out the man I died for he wasn't even concerned
In time it turned he tried to burn me like a perm
Though my eye saw the deception my heart wouldn't let me learn from
Some dumb woman was I and every time he'd lie he would cry and inside I'd die
My heart must've died a thousand deaths Compared myself to Tony Ratch and thought
I'd never catch my breath Nothing left he stole a heart beating from my chest
I tried to call the cops that type of thief they can't arrest
Pain suppressed will lead to cardiac arrest Diamonds deserve diamonds but he convinced
me I was worth less When my peoples would protest
I told them I ain't business cause my bitch was complex
More than just a *** I was blessed but couldn't feel it like
when I was caressed I spent nights clutching my breast
Overwhelmed by God's test I was God's best Contemplating death with a Gillette
No man is ever worth the Paradise Manifest
Gun clap, shell cap, got them crawling on they backs
I'm through with the fool they be who the *** is that
It's unpredictable when my tongue perform Jiu Jitsu
Cut you with my lyrics, stab you with my pencil
I'm lethal, injection, witness protection Refugee camps under investigation
Gunshot bursts in all directions For the wack emcees we reach a revelation
Discharge through your pores, get raw and kill boars
I can't keep a time when I'm on a tour Some manifest with slugs in they chest
God bless all the cowboys in the wild wild west
So what man, cause it's easy for cats to kill other cats
It's just the dogs they got trouble with
You know what I'm saying, it's time for us to stand up
Like men and women y'all, word up
We gotta stand up and do something about this
You know why?
You let a buffalo kick you 5 times, they gon' kick you 5 times
You let him kick you 3 times, they gon' kick you 3 times
You let him kick you twice, they gon' kick you twice
You let him kick you once, they gon' kick you once
But if you break off the buffalo feet
Ain't gon' be no more kickin' goin' on, kid
Ain't no more, I learned that growing up in Newark, man
The brick city
