[Verse 1]
The submissive, obedient faith to n***as on Gates, adoring power and money that rich folks make
Stack your paper lowkey, enjoy the wonders and grace
Words spoken of a hustler now buried a saint
‘cause at the end there’s salvation for all of my men
Crucified in the streets and resurrect in the pen
We cringe at tone of the beef, sacrifice for our sins
’til we rise from the corner after life then begins
Bullets take the shape of hood silver wolves
It ain’t living no more
Come outside then it’s pistols at jaws
Lord is my shepherd
Crack fiends running [?] for more
The drug lords measured and supplied through the lobbies and halls

[Chorus]
In this world that we know, only one time to go
Diamonds glow
The sun help us dig out [?]
We make big holes
We fail at the end of our soul
Scuff and scrap only to shine brighter as gold

[Verse 2]
So was god’s plans raised in these streets, a harsh land
Survived the ‘80s sweep system and Jeeps and park jams
Garage bands, Duran Duran, save a player, gangsters’ll stare at funerals with tattered ink as his tears
The youth believe in godfathers
Suspicion grab the wrist of the barber
Any snake you with, the fish at the harbor
Grip revolvers, official armor, spit the llamas
The devil ganja blunt lit up the drama
At his wake he lay stiff, kiss his cheek in his honor
Drug merchants, perfect serpent spirit
Jesus Christ the only son and God is one
Two thousand worlds I spit from my tongue
The word was made flesh and manifest me
Holding a tech, show some respect
Poison bitch killed the connect
HIV had him erect, had him for sex
Black suit, hats and veils, it’s Kill Bill style
She buried him and smiled
[Chorus]
In this world that we know, only one time to go
Diamonds glow
The sun help us dig out [?]
We make big holes
We fail at the end of our soul
Scuff and scrap only to shine brighter as gold

[Verse 3]
The Holy Grail was really Christ and Mary Magdalene’s baby girl
They all sprang, moved to the other side of the world
Quickly advanced to France, became the Merovingians, desert people like the Palestinians
Sumerian texts spoke like the Abyssinians
Yeah, try and cross me like Chris Columbus did the Indians
That’s white devilishment, black president, crime elements
Crack atoms, rhymes come together like matter
Solid to gases, I spit a whole new universe will scatter
Astro shower, astro powers
Every verse is a starburst
My light shines brighter than the sun
When I go outside, I grow flowers
Hubble Space Telescope thug in a spiral galaxy
In cyber hell we blow slug virtual reality
Like the Jetsons, cyborg cops seal off our sections
Grab our weapons for protections
[Chorus]
In this world that we know, only one time to go
Diamonds glow
The sun help us dig out [?]
We make big holes
We fail at the end of our soul
Scuff and scrap only to shine brighter as gold
