[This Week in Bible Prophecy]
God has a plan -- and the bible unfolds that wonderful plan
through the message of prophecy

God sent Jesus into this world to be our saviour
And that Christ is returning, someday soon
to unfold the wonderful plan of eternity, for my life and your life

As long as we're cooperating with God
by accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and saviour
And as the Lord does return in the coming seven days

We'll see you next time here on This Week in Bible Prophecy

[Tupac]

Tupac don't start that blasphemy in here!
Makaveli, the new breed -- and I remember what my pops told me
The new word, follow me -- remember what my pops told me


My family tree, consists of drug dealers, thugs and killers
Strugglin, known to hustle screamin $#&@ they feelings

I got advice from my father, all he told me was this
^!$$%z, get off your $$# if you plan to be rich
There's ten rules to the game, but I'll share with you two

Know, ^!$$%z gon' hate you for whatever you do
Now rule one -- get your cash on, M.O.B.
That's Money Over (*##$es, cause they breed envy

Now rule two is a hard one, watch for phonies
Keep yo', enemies close ^!$$%, watch yo' homies
It seemed a little unimportant, when he told me I smiled

Picture jewels being handed, to an innocent child
I never knew in my lifetime I'd live by these rules
Initiated as an outlaw, studying rules

Now papa ain't around, so I gotta recall
or come to grips with bein on my enemy's wall (rest in peace)
Promised if I have a seed, I'ma guide him right

Dear Lord don't let me die tonite
I got words for my comrades, listen and learn
Ain't nuttin free, give back what you earn, no doubt

Gettin higher than a mother$#&@er, blessed and pleased
This Thug Life'll be the death of me, c'mon, yeah


And I remember what my papa told me
Remember what my papa told me, blasphemy


[Chorus: Prince Ital]

Love for dem dat steal in the name of da Lord

Dem a tell nuff lie but holdin my bird in a cloud
Usin de name of de Lord in vein
While de people in de ghetto, feel nuff pain


[Tupac]
We probably in Hell already, our dumb $$#es not knowin

Everybody kissin $$# to go to heaven ain't goin
Put my soul on it, I'm fightin devil ^!$$%z daily
Plus the media be crucifying brothers severly

Tell me I ain't God's son, ^!$$% mom a virgin
We got addicted had to leave the burbs, back in the ghetto
doin wild %#@!, lookin at the sun don't pay

Criminal mind all the time, wait for Judgment Day
They say Moses split the Red Sea
I split the blunt and rolled the fat one, I'm deadly -- Babylon beware

Comin from the Pharoahe's kids, retaliation
Makin legends off the %#@! we did, still bull%#@!tin
^!$$%z in Jerusalem, waitin for signs

God promised, she's just takin her time, haha
Living by the Nile while the water flows
I'm contemplating plots wondering which door to go

Brothas getting shot, comin back resurrected
It's just that raw %#@!, ^!$$% check it (that raw %#@!)


And I remember what my papa told me
Remember what my papa told me, blasphemy


[Chorus]

[Tupac]
The preacher want me buried why? Cause I know he a liar
Have you ever seen a crackhead, that's eternal fire

Why you got these kids minds, thinkin that they evil
while the preacher bein richer you say honor God's people
Should we cry, when the Pope die, my request
We should cry if they cried when we buried Malcolm X
Mama tell me am I wrong, is God just another cop

waitin to beat my $$# if I don't go pop?
Memories of a past time, givin up cash
to the leaders, knowin damn well, it ain't gonna feed us
In my brain how can you explain, time in D.C.
It's hard enough to live now, in these times of greed

They say Jesus is a kind man, well he should understand
times in this crime man, my Thug nation
Do whatchu gotta do but know you gotta change
Try to find a way to make it out the game
I leave this and hope God can see my heart is pure

Is heaven just another door? I leave this here
I leave this and hope God see my heart is pure
Is heaven just another door? And my people say

[Chorus 4X]


Our father, who art in heaven
Hallow be thy name
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
In earth, as it is in heaven
Give us this day, our daily bread
As we give up our debts
As we forgive our debt-ors

Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us, unevil
For God, is the kingdom, and the power
and the glory forever, and ever, and ever
