Swoope - Mahalia lyrics

[Verse 1: Sho Baraka] I go hammer, I know He was nailed I know Jesus walks, I'm never going to hell I know people talk, delete that junk mail I got my pa**port stamped overseas, diggin' wells Tryin' not to lust for them clothes I can't spell If you don't live behind your bars, you and I don't gel (tell 'em) Free man now but a slave to my savior College graduate but I'm still going for majors Yeah, black belt in a bad way Judo know? I did what my sensei (preach) Notorious was my mindset, I got faith - wasn't ready to die yet (take that take that) Now take that from a Bad Boy None of it's mines I'm just playin' with my dad's toys (preach) I got the church with me, I'm tryin' to be like the Bible not a bad verse in me [Hook] And if you know He's been good then praise the Lord (preach) And if you know He's been good then praise the Lord (preach) And if you know He's been good then praise the Lord (preach) Come on praise the Lord, let's praise the Lord [Verse 2: Sho Baraka] This dude said "why you rap off beat?" I don't rap off beat, the beat is off me Ha, that's a little joke for 'em I ain't rappin' for the bread but you could give a toast for 'em (west coast) How long these clowns gon' wear a mask try to distract us Halloween is a scary day for the rappers Get it? Rewind it and start it over I'm livin' whale I may change my name to Jonah I got a Hebrew walk, keepin' it kosher It's hard to be fly when you duckin' the vultures huh (yeah) How does a prophet and a priest forgive a liar, a fool, a phony and a thief (preach) Yeah, can a brother get a witness? Freestyles non profit but he still give 'em the business (hey) Dinner with d**h just to show 'em where the mortal is Watch the sunrise just in time for a mornin' hymn [Hook] And if you know he's been good then praise the Lord (preach) And if you know he's been good then praise the Lord (preach) And if you know he's been good then praise the Lord (preach) Come on praise the Lord, let's praise the Lord... talk to 'em Duce [Verse 3: Duce Banner] Last year round this time my grandfather died I thank God every day he got to live a full life Friends hustle said I had a future not to waste it Then I got sappy they right, I never woulda made it Too emotional for thuggin' see that's a handicap That road would only lead to bein' dead, in jail or handicapped Last I heard at church he catchin bodyies in the street I'm sure reppin' with perspective by me bodyin' this beat (well) Grew up a Christian he found me and I repented But still was Dennis the menace my earnest prayer to be with it Till one day I said forget it, this ain't real it's a scrimmage Like Michael Jordan told Pippen I'll leave the game you can win it Workin' at Target but Target ain't my target I've been aimin' at my target since this rap thing started I Treated him like a dog, I had God backwards Now they mention me on Twitter, I'm back at it... [Outro] Ah yeah can we get a praise break? Ha, can we get a praise break? We gettin' happy doin' the praise break We gettin' happy doin' the praise break And if you love Him like I love Him praise the Lord And if you know you been good praise the Lord And with your life and your words just praise the Lord Come on praise the Lord Let's praise the Lord
