They go one for the Prophet, two for Three for the from the Imam Four for the mother birthed my frame for the father 'cause he taught me game
Been 'round the world, songs are all the when I'm asleep I still call your name Back when I was young I used to dream of Now they all point they fingers sayin' to blame
Mothers put their girls pigtail curls Fathers teach sons how to shoot their guns They say, "Boy don't cry control your emotions Just it like a man, make your stand"
say, "Sex and violence go hand in hand" For every man blessed got to be ten damned Expand through the depths of and time Standin' three blind on the firing line
Word to my man divine, too far, singin' "La ilaha Allah" Twelve short on my full 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 Wounds that healin', truth need revealin'
Hands washin' from all the dirty dealin' From the floor to the ceilin', from the stage to the From the kings and the queens and the slaves and the For every lost where the martyrs are found
That little sound, that make you want to get down told me once, love makes the world go round Now kids carry pistols out on the playground profound, gone too far, praying to the light from a burned out star
Put your lights on, put down crosses It's time to tally up wins and your losses They go one for La Rock, two for Pac and B.I.G. And three for all the mothers who got to dig
For all the mothers who got to dig For all the mothers who got to dig
