Temple

Deliver straight from the temple Hip hop you don't stop 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock do the body rock Well as an infant I was born into religion my mamma called me Baptist But what she forgot to mention was just what Baptist meant The story goes god sent his only begotten son Who gave his life to make sure I would have one So I learned in Sunday school As got took care of fools and babies to disrespect my mother and father would be taboo But as I grew I met a Jew, a Catholic And a Protestant and couldn't figure out where Baptist fit Hastily I pray to three that you would make me see Why thou hast confronted me with such ambiguity Are you Jehovah or Buddha or shall I call you Allah all due Respect heavenly Father I'd just like to be a scholar On the subject called theology so that I may figure Why they call themselves Christians yet still call me Nigger An open star, a black hole leaves no control over thoughts I leave my body to receive the metaphysical,however the Physical takes control No communication with the inner self Deprived the otherwise wise of having spiritual health Now to explain to average brother who feels he can get on Larger than selling cheeba on the corner Corners himself and becomes a mourners logic brothers Delivered straight from the temple Hip hop you don't stop 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock rock Delivered straight from the temple I had no time to sample my cousin name was Samuel I wasn't aloud to use the turnable My dad was a preacher So rap music was pure devilism And if they wasn't saying Thank-you Lord I couldn't listen So I used to sneak to listen to DJ Red-Alert To check the competition On DJ Red Alert goes berzerk Cause as a young lad I had a thick rap pad Cause he who waiteth to practice Will same day be the greatest gab So I check them as they're flippin' Tongue so fast they're not slippin' They think they're rippin', rappin' The only rapping they're doin' Its aluminum foil they're packin' You gain the world sucker But you lost your soul The devil brought you out So all you do is sell one foe Life after death could be eternal fire So some get blunted but you back on earth When its all over mama said a blunt Was a stunt to the brain So some say I don't smoke But on the the sneak tip he sniffed coke He won the Lotto now Now he dies of an overdose While the bomb he digs a hole to sleep Deeper than a Deep Throat So ask yourself the question Who's really maxin' Cause some check in But don't check out In either hell or heaven But to some earth is hell and heaven's death So they pretend to be haddes and kill Til there's nothing left But I'm a hit them with a gun That's harder than all guns Mic check from the temple Check the text is the new term to get reck Can I get a witness check the text get reck Check the text Check the text is the new term to get reck Can I get a witness check the text Well I arrived Let me tell you what I see in my third eye Many died They called a battle they got crucified Justice is righteous in the eyes of the beholder While the younger the better the older the wiser Mama used to read indeed from the book of proverbs But the bird said the word was absurd have you heard Knowledge I come to teach While I increase you decrease Some say peace But on a street A 45 my piece Hallelujah! hallelujah! praise be to thee, Jah almighty (come) On the 19th of October I remember startin' my life on as a natural libra Cause I lick 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 shots While learnin' Peter built his church on a solid rock (hit me) So feel the spirit comin' from the heaven above They say hey yo Prakaz how could you be a hood and feel so much love I said and every man chest, there beeps a heart Hip hop where it starts I try to master the art (come one)
