Tech N9ne - Hope For A Higher Power lyrics

"The world- The Kingdom suffers violence
And the violent shall take
It by force if we can’t live in peace
Then let’s die in peace (Applause)
We’ve been so betrayed we have
Been so terribly betrayed
So my opinion is be kind
To children and be kind
To seniors and take the potion like they used
To take in ancient Greece and
Step over quietly because
We are not committing suicide
It’s a revolutionary act"

If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?
If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?

Grandma told me the good book said
In the last days get ready
For the ten plagues
1st, the rivers will be ran with red
2, 3, and 4
Dead frogs will 'cause lice and flies
Sick livestock is 5 the living they
Must fight for their lives
6, 7, and 8, a boil storms a fire and locusts
9 is darkness
So dark it's hard for you to focus
And 10 is death of the firstborn
If I said it was questionable the
Religions would make it a point
To get at me and battle me
Maybe have this verse torn
How will this curse form?
Well, Creationism and Darwinism been
At it forever
'Bout it I got nothin' but hurt for 'em
'Cause really nobody knows when you live
Then you die where your body goes
If it's Hell or it's Heaven 6 or the 7
Well I'll keep the nina for all
The foes with a gamble
That's what life is, and it's hard to handle
When the bible says worship this but
The scripture's written by man though
So when man destroys us
The word might not stand so
'Til that day I'm just gon'
Protect my fam with ammo

If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?
If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?
And at the height of their power
(God) will send an angel to destroy them

I've been looking for something supernatural
For a long time now
But, I never got proof that
A spiritual realm existed
Wanted to find how
Everybody sure of a supreme being
Are people just seeing things?
Wondering if we get wings
Seems sick to believe in an extreme king
I know it sounds far-fetched
Every night I put knees on the carpet
Then I pray to who's up with the star set
'Cause the Earth in it's self is a target
For destruction, for combustion
'Cause there ain't too many you can trust in
Think of all the women losing their husbands
In Iraq a lot of killing and suffering
What I hope for, seemed folklore
When the enemy kills and gloat more
'Cause they killin' us off in this hoax war
Then I wake up yellin' and my throats sore
'Cause the fight's there, it's a nightmare
If it come to me, I'm in my snipe wear
If a bullet give my lung a slight tear
I wanna believe that the light's there
So all you Christians don't get mad at me
I just hope your mystical magical
Miracles work in catastrophes
And this ain't blasphemy
But artillery is my strategy
I hope for a higher power when
I look at all these tragedies

If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?
If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?
I will never follow the beliefs of man, why?
Because man destroys everything in his path

Oh, what a miracle, angels and demons
But the only miracle is
That people keep believin'
Right hand on the bible
Left hand on my rifle
Keep that for my rivals and evil disciples
Expand your mission, man to women
When they attack do you plan to give in
Or do you do like I do and say
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
People like us, piece and knife up
'Cause we got evil to sweep and wipe up
Devils and demons and humans, irrelevant
So if they lookin' deceiving I bust
I hope that the higher power
Is watching over me
'Cause we young people don't see faith
Like most the older see
If he or she is listenin'
A mere sign can spark me
But, if the laws in the bible are bogus
Then prepare for anarchy
Worst case scenario is it never
Ever was a higher power
So in the midst of chaos now
The only real savior is fire power

If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?
If there is a final hour
Let's hope for a higher power
1 by 1 and 2 by 2
I have ammo, what about you?

"I, with respect
Die with a degree of dignity lay
Down your life with dignity don’t
Lay down with tears and agony there’s nothing
To death it’s like Mac said
It’s just stepping over to
Another plane don’t
Be this way stop this hysterics"
