They go one for the Prophet, two for Three for the Khutbah the Imam Four for the mother that my frame for the father 'cause he taught me game
Been 'round the world, songs are all the Sometimes when I'm asleep I still call your Back when I was I used to dream of fame Now they all point fingers sayin' who's to blame
Mothers put their into pigtail curls Fathers teach their sons how to their guns They say, "Boy don't never cry 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 the depths of space and time 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 that the lord got mercy to spare go one for the Ummah, two for the deen
Three for the angels, for the alamin' Somewhere between obscene And perfectly clean, got a Babylon Wounds that need healin', need revealin'
Hands washin' from all the dirty dealin' From the floor to the ceilin', from the to the door From the kings and the and the slaves and the whores For every lost cause where the martyrs are
That funky little sound, that make you to get down Somebody told me once, love makes the go round Now kids they carry out on the playground That profound, too far, praying to the light from a burned out star
Put your lights on, put your crosses time to tally up your wins and your losses They go one for La Rock, two for Pac and B.I.G. And three for all the who got graves to dig
For all the mothers who got to dig For all the who got graves to dig
