[Intro: This Week In Bible Prophecy]

"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"

[Intro: Makaveli]

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

[Verse 1: Makaveli]

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 1: Get your cash on, M.O.B.

That's 'Money Over Bitches', 'cause they breed envy

Now, rule 2 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

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, give back what you earn

No doubt, gettin' higher than a motherfucker, bless me, please

This Thug Life'll be the death of me

Come on, yeah

[Bridge: 2Pac]

And I remember what my poppa told me

Remember what my pops told me

Blasphemy!

[Chorus: Prince Ital Joe & Makaveli]

Nuffa 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

[Verse 2: Makaveli]

We probably 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 (Haha!)

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)

[Bridge: Makaveli]

And I remember what my poppa told me

Remember what my poppa told me

Blasphemy!

[Chorus: Prince Ital Joe & Makaveli]

Nuffa 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

(Remember what my pops told me)

While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain

(What!)

[Verse 3: Makaveli]

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 B.C.?

It's hard enough to live now in these times of greed

They say Jesus is a conman

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

[Chorus: Prince Ital Joe & Makaveli]

Nuffa 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

(Can't I remember what my poppa told me, blasphemy)

While de people in de ghetto feel nuff pain

[Collision: Jamala Lasane]

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 today our daily bread

And forgive us our debts

As we forgive our debtors

Lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil

For God is the kingdom and the power

And the glory forever and ever and ever
