They go one for the Prophet, two for Three for the Khutbah from the Four for the mother that my frame for the father 'cause he taught me game
Been 'round the world, songs are all the Sometimes I'm asleep I still call your name Back when I was I used to dream of fame Now they all point they sayin' who's to blame
Mothers put their girls into curls Fathers teach their sons how to their guns They say, "Boy don't never cry control emotions Just take it a man, make your stand"
say, "Sex and violence go hand in hand" For every man blessed there got to be ten Expand the depths of space and time Standin' three eyes on the firing line
Word to my man divine, come too far, "La ilaha Allah" Twelve rakats on my full day's prayer Just hoping that the lord got some mercy to 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 need washin' from all the dirty the floor to the ceilin', from the stage to the door From the and the queens and the slaves and the whores For every lost cause where the are found
funky little sound, that make you want to get down Somebody told me once, love makes the go round Now kids they carry out on the playground That profound, gone too far, praying to the 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 for all the mothers who got graves to dig
For all the mothers who got to dig For all the mothers who got to dig
