Lucy
If I could close my eyes and picture wealth, fame and religion
My momma'd have a new house with new cars and shiny dishes
My Cuban would shine like the stars in the sky
And I could build a legacy on top of this crime
But I can't shine like I been wantin to
No
Then this man he came right up to me and he said
He said his name was Lucy
He said he had the groupies
He said he had the money, the power, and all the muses
Of makin music
Then he grabbed my hand
He took me to a cold dark room and then he said
This is where I reside
The darkness of your mind
A temple of limitless distress behind a facade
Your ego grows and collides
With morales, ethics, and pride
But I just wanted to get you the wealth you truly desire
But fuck it you know I got you
Take the money, take the cars
Take the strippers, take the broads
I don't want you thinkin that I never did enough for you
I care for you
I want the best
I'll see you through
I want you to look me right in my eyes
I want you to check the clock, it's my time
I wanna tat my number on your body
Just call 666 whenever ya have a problem
If I could close my eyes and picture wealth, fame and religion
My momma'd have a new house with new cars and shiny dishes
My Cuban would shine like the stars in the sky
And I could build a legacy on top of this crime
But I can't shine like I been wantin to
No
Then this man he came right up to me and he said
He said His name was God
He said He was the way
I'm stuck fighting a battle between my wants and my needs
But between you and me
I feel so vulnerable
I feel like all this shit I do's dishonorable
But God you know I pray to you I just feel like you ain't talkin back
I know you're my savior, my whole heart, I know you got that
He told me quiet down, you ain't listening to me
But God, that's the point
I can't see what you see
Quiet my son
Don't look away
Put down the gun
Don't throw grenades
Lucy is devious he's a master deceiver
But if you stay in the light then he cannot stand what you're thinking
And if you think that you've won
You might come out number two
You need to look to the trinity if you playin for you
But I don't think that you thinkin the way that I'm steady thinkin
You want the money, the cars, and all of these earthly possessions
Don't pick from the same tree that Adam picked
This comes from Holy God of Nazareth
Freezin, this world is so, freezin
He said He's got a song that He's gotta revive
He said He's got a wish for all of mankind
He told me
To open
My bible
And turn to
Romans Chapter 12 verse 2
Now it all makes sense too
If I could close my eyes and picture wealth, fame and religion
My momma'd have a new house with new cars and shiny dishes
My Cuban would shine like the stars in the sky
And I could build a legacy on top of this crime
But I can't shine like I been wantin to
No
Then this man he came right up to me and he said
God Hates Rappers
My momma'd have a new house with new cars and shiny dishes
My Cuban would shine like the stars in the sky
And I could build a legacy on top of this crime
But I can't shine like I been wantin to
No
