Believe it or Not

[Intro - Man - talking] (*echo*) Would you have done it? Would you follow God's instructions for your life? Would you take these promises out of the Bible? You see these promises aren't just for me And preachers and pastors and everybody else They're for all of us [Verse 1 - Classified] Our Father who art in heaven Baptize my soul and help me learn my lessons I'm tryin to do right and return the blessing But please don't judge me on a first impression I don't go to Mass, don't mean I ain't religious (nah) Still get the picture, even though I skip the scriptures As a young kid, yeah did a little mischief Most I do now though is get a little lifted Used to go to church every Sunday (yeah, yeah) But since I moved out my parents' house, I ain't gone one day I don't know why, I feel God inside I know I'll see him soon, time's up when I die (come on) I know my Ten Commandments, I take it very serious I still got my rosary and I'll be buried wearin it (yeah) Know death happens but fuck it, I'm still fearin it When all said is done, I don't know if I'm prepared for it This can't be it, the wicked ones always prosper But after we depart, we'll be judged by our Father Life is a trial and we're sentenced when it's passed So forgive us for our sins and the greedy things we've asked [Chorus - Classified] (White Mic) Now this is what it comes down to (Just let me die in peace with my beliefs) Follow what you want, not what they allow you (Thank the Lord but don't know what I'm thankful for) Said this is what it comes down to (For the faithless because their God is faceless) And everybody got an opinion around you (But shh, quiet please, these my beliefs) [Verse 2 - Jay Bizzy] Yeah, Hail Mary, full of grace When I die, pray to God I get to see your face Please forgive me for my sins, all my greed, my hate All the bad shit I done that can't be erased So many lost souls, all they really need is faith Maybe I can be their shepherd, help to see them straight Wait, I ain't preachin to ya, at least I'm not tryin So many sufferin wonderin why we all dyin It ain't for us to understand God's master plan I work hard, do the best I can And I know the Lord's watchin on me, yeah he walks with me Don't go to church but I talk to him often, Je- Sus, got my back, now who's fuckin with that? I pray to God when I'm bumpin a track Please deliver us from evil, cause we all God's children Just like hip-hop on the radio, I can't see Him but I still feel Him [Chorus] [Break - Man - talking] (J-Bru) (*echo*) Give us the strength Father just to step out and praise in positive belief (See this through my eyes) Help us to understand that with you we can do it Without you, it's impossible [Verse 3 - J-Bru] There's people like me out there but we get neglected Cause people think you don't believe in God, you ain't protected What about these kids that believe and they still die? They got AIDS, cancer Tell me this don't matter You think it's God's plan to keep me alive? when I don't believe in him? My lungs don't breathe with him? (My heart don't beat with him) but shit it's still beatin Kids starvin everyday and Bru's still eatin Are we present? Naw, I can't believe it Nobody can be everywhere at once, I can't see it I can't be it, by "it", I mean God with Cults up in the church prayin, yo I ain't carin Y'all can pray along all you want but think about it Innocent people dyin everywhere, I can't be about it Fuck thinkin that He takes you when He wants to If He listen to this, strike me down, do what God do [Chorus] [Outro - Preacher K - talking] My beliefs, whether interlocked or independent Expose the real me, the poet, the legend My pops, he installed lots of thoughts Every Sunday to the church, we walked I'm so sensitive to humanity crisis I want to start a charity to vanish and wipe it Instead of arguing and yelling at my fellow man We need to agree to disagree, understand?
