Blasphemy

God has a plan
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 (and I remember what my pops told me), the new breed
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 their 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, M.O.B.
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 (rest in peace)

Promise 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 motherfucker, bless me, please
This Thug Life'll be the death of me
Come on, yeah

And I remember what my poppa told me
Remember what my pops told me (c'mon)
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)
While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain (remember what my pops told me)

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 Pharaoh'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
Livin' by the Nile, while the water flow
I'm contemplatin' plots, wonderin' where the thought'll go

Brothers 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 (blasphemy
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 (come here, boy) 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 pastime, givin' up cash to the leaders
Knowin' damn well they ain't gonna feed us
In my brain, how can you explain time in B.C.?
It's hard enough to live, now, in these times of greed
They say Jesus is a kind man (Jesus is a kind man)
Well, he should understand times in this crime land (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

Nuff a dem a steal in the name of the Lord (our Father, who art in Heaven)
Dem a tell nuff lie, but holding a bird in a cloud (hallowed be Thy name)
Using the name of the Lord in vain (Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done)
While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain (in Earth as it is in Heaven)

Nuff a dem a steal in the name of the Lord (give us this day, our daily bread)
Dem a tell nuff lie, but holding a bird in a cloud (as we give up our debts)
Using the name of the Lord in vain (as we forgive our debtors)
While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain (lead us not into temptation)

(But deliver us from evil), nuff a dem a steal in the name of the Lord
Dem a tell nuff lie, but holding a bird in a cloud (for God's is the kingdom and the power)
Using the name of the Lord in vain (and the glory)
While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain (forever and ever and ever) (yeah)
