Snoop Dogg - I Love To Give You Light (Intro) lyrics

Say man ay ushers, deacons, lock the do' (​I love, to give you light) Yeah, first of all Givin honor to God, and all the ministers on the pulpits Ushers, deacons, and my lovely choir They sound so beautiful, don't you agree? Sing it sister Yeah, we'd like to welcome y'all inside this R&G Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece Such a, heavenly experience Alchemist, break it down for me nephew Let me preach to 'em one time, chuuch In the beginning as a child I was chosen Though not knowin' the reason while still my eyes opened Whatever the purpose, I surfaced above the fog Love was given to all, outside livin' the ball As an adolescent, one black child, I had a message To reach teachin' the ma**es, I wrote my first pa**age It was jotted down, created in the form of a rap I'm young, livin' in the city of jackers and g**nin' And dope dealin', cold feelin' to be a product of n***as around you Once you get on top they down you But the temptation got me, streets caught me watchin' I found myself grindin' on the streets quite often With a blue rag, bangin' the dub, fo'-fifth coffin At the spot, 61st, 40 blocks from the Eastside Where most of the big homies had a Glock and flossed the G-ride n***as throwin' up hands but it wasn't no peace signs Never fo' a second did I think to let my light shine Hardheaded, thought I was grown, messin up Disrespectin' my home, not carin' 'bout what moms what sayin And then I found out that mom wasn't playin' Today, I love you for it, back then, I couldn't understand Get my life right, step it up, n***a be a man Never be a victim, of what the system might hit you with Through the stripes still gotta shine my light I've grown, to comprehend the game; my name is Big Snoop Boss Dogg Just a block and a phone call away I've reached the status, of a modern day John Baptist I'm preachin' just what I practice To each and all, I got a word from the Beach to acros the globe Man woman young and old Don't gain the world, lose your soul to spite Many circumstances Doggy gon' shine my light 'cause I love you
