Verse 2
(G major) I was born into re (C major) ligion
My mother called me Baptist (G major) but
what (D major) she forgot to mention
Was (C major) just what (D major) baptist (G major) meant!
The (C major) story goes, God sent
His only begotten son (G major) who (D major) gave his life
To make sure that I would have one
(G major) As I learned in Sunday School,
(C major) is God took care
Of who's (D major) ready to disrespect,
my mother and father would be Taboo
(G major) But as I grew, I (C major) met a Jew, a Catholic
And a (G major) Protestant just (D major) couldn't
figure out where Baptist fit
(G major) Hastily I pray thee (C major) that ya make me see
Why thou has confronted
(G major) me (D major) with such ambiguity
Are you Je (G major) hovah? Or Buddha?
Or (D major) shall I (C major) call ya Allah?
All due (G major) respect, Heavenly (D major) Father
I just like to be a scholar on
the subject (G major) called theology
So (C major) that time I figure
While they (G major) call themselves Christians,
ya still call me nigga
And off to store a black hole leaves
no con (C major) trol over thought
I leave my body to (D major) see the pits
Go high when the physical takes control
(G major) No communication (C major) s with the inner self
The prize is the up the (G major) wise,
wise (D major) who has a spiritual health
Now to ex (G major) plain they had the (C major)
problems visions of
gettin' along with herself
She bought a corner, (G major)
(D major) cornered herself and becomes a mourner
Lo (G major) gic brothers
(Ah, y (C major) o sister can Prazwell and (D major) Wyclef get some,
check it out)

Verse 4
from the (temple), I
(D major) had no (C major) time to (sample)
My (G major) cousin's name was (D major) (Samuel), I
wasn't allowed to use the turntables
(G major) My dad was a preacher,
so rap (C major) music was pure devilism
(G major) And (D major) if it wasn't sayin',
"Thank You Lord!", I couldn't listen
(G major) So I used to sneak to listen (C major) to DJ Red Alert
(G major) To check the (D major) competition,
or DJ Red Aler (G major) t goes berserk!
'Cause as a young lad,
I (C major) had a big rap pad
'Cause (G major) he who (D major) wanted to practice
would someday be the greatest guy
(G major) So I checked (D major) them as they flip
(G major) pin' some (C major) times
They're not flippin',
they (G major) think they (D major) rippin'- rappin'
The only rappin' they doin' is
in they room before (G major) they packin'
Verse 5
You (G major) gained the world sucker, (C major)
but you lost your soul (G major)
(The devil ap (D major) proach you us,
all you do is tell a (G major) foe)

Life after death could be eternal (C major) fire
So some get blunted (G major) but you're (D major) back
all on this when it's all over
Mama said a (G major) blunt was a stunt (C major) to the brain
So son say, "I don't smoke!" (D major) but
on the sneak- tip he sniff coke!
(G major) He won the lotto,
(C major) now he dies of an overdose
(G major) While the bum he (D major) picked a hole to
sleep he wanted a deep throat
(G major) So ask yourself the (C major) question:
Who's really maxin'?
'Cause some check (D major) in but don't check
out and (G major) either (D major) Hell or (G major) Heaven (D major) high
(G major) But to some Earth (C major) is Hell
and Heaven's death
So they pre (D major) dict to be Haiti's and
kill till there's noth (G major) in' left, (D major) hah
(G major) But I'mma hit'em with a (C major) gun,
that's harder than all (G major) guns
(D major) Mic check from

(And start the nuzzle (C major) to get wreck)
Can I get a witness? (D major) (Check the tech)

(And start the nuzzle to (C major) get
wreck), can I get a witness?
(D major) (Check the tech), here we go yo
Verse 8
Well I arrive (G major) let me tell you (C major) what
I see in my third eye

While the, young (G major) er the better (D major) but the,
older the wiser
(G major) Mama used to read (C major) in deep

I increase ya decrease
Some say (G major) peace, (D major)
but on a street a (G major) .45's my piece

Hallelujah, (G major) (C major) hallelujah, praise be (D major) to thee
Jah Almighty, come
(G major) On the nineteenth of Oc (C major) tober I remember
(G major) Startin' my (D major) life as a natural leaver
'Cause I lick (G major) one- two- three-
four- five- six- seven (C major) shots
While any priest here (D major) builds his
church on a solid (G major) (D major) rock, (G major) hit (D major) me
(G major) So feel the spirit comin' (C major) from the
Heaven above (G major)
(Ay, Pras, how could you be a hood
in full of (C major) so much (D major) love?)
I said, on (G major) every man chest
there (C major) breathes a heart
Hip- hop where it starts, (D major) I tried to master the art, (G major)
