Who Do You Believe In
Let us prayHeavenly FatherHear a n**** down hereBefore I go to sleepTell me, who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?I see mothers in black cryin', brothers in packs dyin'Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why?Watchin' our own downfall, witness the endIt's like we don't believe in God 'cause we livin' in sinI asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughedPointed his pistol as the cop car pa**ed and blastIt's just another murder, nobody mourns no moreMy tear drops gettin' bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin' forIs it the miniature caskets, little babiesVictims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazyMaybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block wasCrack came and it was strange how it rocked usLetras de cancionesPerhaps the underlyin' fact stay high explain genocideIt's when we ride on our own kindWhat is it we all fear? Reflections in the mirrorWe can't escape fate, the end is gettin' nearerWho do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Can't close my eyes 'cause all I see is terrorI hate the man in the mirror'Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realerTimes of Armageddeon, murder in ma** amountsIn this society where only gettin' the cash countsI started out as a beginnerEntered the criminal lifestyle became a sinnerI make my money and vacate, evade prisonWent from the chosen one to outcast, unforgivenAnd all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel insideYou know, it's like I'm livin' just to dieI fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin' if I'm worthyLivin' life thinkin' no man can hurt meSo I'm askin', before I lay me down to sleepBefore you judge me, look at all the s*** you did to me, my miseryI rose up from the slums, made it out the flamesIn my search for fame will I change? I'm askin'Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin' the grievin', who do you believe in?Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic'Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead n****z in casketsWith they chest plates stretched like elasticAnd what's worse I'm on front line, holdin' down camp, still mashin'Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the blockJust came home October of '95 back in Yardsville stuckWith a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realizeIf you don't stay wise, then in this game you f***edTalk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heardOne of the grimmies is snitchin', diamond a stool pigeon I talked to himHe said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure'Cause he just came home off of bailNow tell meWho do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah, or Allah?Is it Jesus, is it God or is just yourself?Definitely not to be imposed, being a demonBecause this is the joy of believingMen, to believe in yourselvesBut for sure, the higher powerResides only to ride in the heart of the trueFrom the soul, of the man, for truth never has an alibiIn the poetry, or in it's realmThat's what pulls all words togetherJust to understand, that every man, is his own manAnd only man can satisfy the manOnly the soul of the man, the feelings of the manThe for realness of the manYou can't shake the man, when you feel the man, you know the manAnd you gotta call yourself because you are that manWho do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'I put my faith in GodBlessed and still breathin'Even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin' the grievin'Who do you believe in?Who do youOh blessed, oh blessedOh who do youDo you believe in?Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?Who do you believe in?I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin'And even though it's hardThat's who I believe inBefore I'm leavin'I'm askin'' the grievin', who do you believe in?
