rate me[clef]<br>I woke up this morning<br>I was feeling kind of high<br>It was me, jesus christ and haile selassie<br>Selassie said greetings in the name of the most high,<br>Jah rhastafari,<br>Christ, took a sip of the amaretto,<br>Passed it down the table said today I'll be betrayed by one you 12<br>Disciples<br>Give me a clue who could do this to you? <br>The kid on the block who makes less money than you.<br>Crooked cops pulled up, they offered him 30 pieces of silver<br>All he got to do is deliver the savior<br>Right on bergen st. from bad luck to good luck<br>My cup runneth over, pass it down, guzzle up<br>The time has arrived, the prophecy will manifest<br>I saw death, I got scared, butterflies on my chest<br>Father if possible, pass this cup before me,<br>But it's too late I chose my destiny in gethsemane.<br>[lauryn]<br>You see I loved hard once, but the love wasn't returned<br>I found out the man I'd die for, he wasn't even concerned<br>And time it turned,<br>He tried to burn me like a perm<br>Though my eyes saw the deception, my heart wouldn't let me learn<br>From um, some, dumb woman, was i,<br>And everytime he'd lie, he would cry and inside I'd die.<br>My heart must have died a thousand deaths<br>Compared myself to toni braxton thought I'd never catch my breath<br>Nothing left, he stole the heart beating from my chest<br>I tried to call the cops, that type of thief you can't arrest<br>Pain suppressed, will lead to cardiac arrest<br>Diamonds deserve diamonds, but he convinced me I was worth less<br>When my peoples would protest,<br>I told them mind their business, cause my s*** was complex<br>More than just the sex<br>I was blessed, but couldn't feel it like when I was caressed<br>I'd spend nights clutching my breasts overwhelmed by god's test<br>I was god's best contemplating death with a gillette<br>But no man is ever worth the paradise manifest<br>[praz]<br>Gun-clap shell cap,<br>Got them crawling on they back<br>Come through with the fu<br>They be who the f**k is that<br>It's unpredictable, when my tongue performs like jujitsu<br>Cut you with my lyrics, stab you with my pencil<br>Lethal injection, witness protection<br>Refugee camp's under investigation<br>Gunshot bursts in all directions<br>For the wack mc's we read your revelations<br>Discharge through your pores<br>Get raw and kill boors<br>I can capleton when I'm on a tour<br>Some manifest, with slugs in they chest<br>God bless all the cowboys in the wild wild west
