2Pac, Prince Ital Joe - Blasphemy lyrics
[2Pac, Prince Ital Joe - Blasphemy lyrics]
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
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
My family tree consists of drug dealers
Thugs and killers
Strugglin', known to hustle, screamin'
"fuck they 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, MOB
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
Promised if I have a seed
I'ma guide him right
Dear Lord, don't let me die tonight
I got words for my comrades, listen and learn
Ain't nothin' free, get back what you earned
No doubt, gettin' higher than
A motherfucka, bless me, please
This Thug Life'll be the death of me
C'mon, yeah
And I remember what my poppa told me
Remember what my pops told me blasphemy!
Nuf for 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
We pro'ly 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 Pharoah'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
Brothas gettin' shot, comin' back resurrected
It's just that raw shit, nigga, check it
(That raw shit)
And I remember what my poppa told me
Remember what my poppa told me blasphemy!
Nuff a dem a steal in the name of the lord
Dem a tell nuff lie
But holding a 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)
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 BC?
It's hard enough to live, now
In these times of greed
They say Jesus is a kind man
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
Nuff a dem a steal in the name of the lord
Dem a tell nuff lie
But holding a 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
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 this day, our daily bread
As we give up our debts
As we forgive our debt-ors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For God's is the kingdom and the power
And the glory forever and ever and ever
