Aloe Be Thy Name

[Chorus] When the beat is on The heat gets thrown I step up to the microphone And speak this poem: Our father, who art in heaven Aloe be they name When I reach this zone To each his own We gon bang the beat Till the speaker's blown [Verse 1] Only two niggas love me for real That's my pops and the mic that I wield If I was holding heat the third would be still But I ain't never had to kill nobody If enough drama find me then I will probably Do something I'mma regret, not cuz of the guilt But because I'd lose the castle I built And the life I created to support me Familiar fake friends who kill your dreams And steal your things, so watch the snakes I tell my new soldiers to drill Drill sergeant marching y'all up the hill We passing the weak They' slowly they can't hold their own weight But what it take to be great, they ain't got it Lord I pray for their sake I have no psalms for y'all No extended palms for y'all All I got is reasons why now ain't the time to fall Get your head stronger quickly I only got room for a few to take with me This ain't the end all be all We all in the same ship I want you see to all that life has to offer you Places to take your daughter to and show your some Private islands for loved ones So when life's done, you can honestly say You wouldn't have wanted it any other way At the end of your day From deep down inside, you could say: It was all so much better this way Let us pray [Chorus] (Our father, who art in heaven Aloe be they name) When the beat is on The heat gets thrown I step up to the microphone And speak this poem: (Thy kingdom come, they will be done On earth, As it is in heaven) When I reach this zone To each his own We gon bang the beat Till the speaker's gone [Verse 2] Get a pencil and a paper, draw a four-line square like a box And to the left of that box, put a dot That's the spot where I be thinkin' a lot Unconventional thoughts The kind of reason that philosopher's got Speaking of scientist talk You don't ever wanna test with Intelligent Always with a more way to make chips It's the animal in me So many of others envy Recognize sometimes it is all about the benjis Put the game in all a frenzy 'cause they thought I was gone For good, I'm too good to abandon my own hood Understand, I let it be understood Take a class on it This is my lap, Lady Luck, put your ass on it You handing out deals like that? I'mma pass on it Independent mind a criminal, put some cash on it Aloe Blacc-ism they can't see my vision Picking colorful words with a rainbow prism I can't go to prison, them bars ain't friendly Only bars that I stand behind is where my pen be So send me, some photos from the outside and letters too Tell me how you're doing, what's new Why? I'm incarcerated by these words I spew When I speak, dudes get envious and girls get chills In perfect fields [?] You can take a spoonful of sugar with it And when you better, tell the world that a brother did it [Chorus] (Our father, who art in heaven Aloe be they name) When the beat is on The heat gets thrown I step up to the microphone And speak this poem: (Thy kingdom come, they will be done On earth As it is in heaven) When I reach this zone To each his own We gon bang the beat Till the speaker's gone (Thy kingdom come, they will be done On earth As it is in heaven) [Outro] Man: They're going to make obedient little citizens out of us Woman: Who are? What do you mean? Man: Society
