They go one for the Prophet, two for for the Khutbah from the Imam Four for the that birthed my frame Five for the father 'cause he me game
'round the world, songs are all the same Sometimes when I'm asleep I still call name when I was young I used to dream of fame Now they all point fingers sayin' who's to blame
put their girls into pigtail curls Fathers teach their sons how to shoot guns They say, "Boy never cry control your emotions take it like a man, make your stand"
They say, "Sex and violence go in hand" For man blessed there got to be ten damned Expand through the depths of space and Standin' eyes blind on the firing line
to my man divine, come too far, singin' "La illa Allah" Twelve rakats short on my day's prayer Just hoping the lord got some mercy to spare go one for the Ummah, two for the deen
Three for the angels, for the alamin' Somewhere totally obscene And perfectly clean, got a Babylon that need healin', truth need revealin'
Hands need washin' from all the dealin' From the floor to the ceilin', the stage to the door the kings and the queens and the slaves and the whores For every lost cause where the are found
That funky little sound, make you want to get down Somebody told me once, love makes the go round Now kids they pistols out on the playground That profound, gone too far, praying to the from a burned out star
Put your lights on, put your crosses It's time to up your wins and your losses They go one for La Rock, two for Pac and B.I.G. And for all the mothers who got graves to dig
For all the who got graves to dig For all the who got graves to dig
