GOD'S PLAYGROUND

[Chorus: Rakim & 38 Spesh]

Wake and bake at the break of dawn

And my favorite song "The Chase is On"

Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)

Days are long, the basic’s pace, it's gone

If it don't kill, it makes us strong (It’s real)

The pace is calm, embrace the storm

Create and perform until greatness born (Ayo, still)

Count your blessings, indicate the form

Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still (Ayo, huh)

[Verse 1: 38 Spesh]

Y'all snitched to become free

You gotta beat the crack game to become me

See, you got robbed for one ki'

You was a bitch in the game like Chun-Li

I'll get you slumped free by my young G

Came out to womb a young beast, I was unleashed

Huh, inside of the V where my gun be

Stash open with three buttons like a onesie

I'm from streets, a place you won't dare go

Clip long and my barrel got air holes

I’m way too thorough to compare flows

I make birds disappear like scarecrows, huh

You work for the company, I sharehold, huh

I’m stingy with money, but I share hoes, huh

Me and B.I.G. both had rare goals

To put five carats in my baby girl earlobes (Trust)

[Chorus: Rakim & Fred the Godson]

Wake and bake at the break of dawn

And my favorite song "The Chase is On"

Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)

Days are long, the basic’s pace, it's gone

If it don't kill, it makes us strong (It's real)

The pace is calm, embrace the storm

Create and perform until greatness born (Still)

Count your blessings, indicate the form

Can’t stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still (Ayo, huh)

[Verse 2: Fred the Godson]

They say I'm in the popular space (Uh-huh)

I won't stop 'til I'm drivin' a Wraith (Right)

I know the block is in place (I know)

Shoot it via text message, I just copy and paste (Uh)

Clubbing, I come through with an icy watch

To rub it in 'cause ain't that many I see hot (Whoo)

They told me I should fill 'em

Lakers three-peat, Kobe, I should kill 'em

My quotables the dopest

If they spit sick, then I'm walking around with multiple sclerosis

Them bitches be gross shit (Ugh)

Still 'gon lick a orange juice, mimosas

Flows sick like I'm under hypnosis to be Biggie (Uh-huh)

Have to admit, every doctor try to admit me (Uh-huh)

Two clips, two four-fifths under the kidney (Blaow)

Told Trey Yates to come give me, gone dumb

[Chorus: Rakim & Skyzoo]

Wake and bake at the break of dawn

And my favorite song "The Chase is On"

Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)

Days are long, the basic's pace, it's gone

If it don't kill, it makes us strong (It's real)

The pace is calm, embrace the storm

Create and perform until greatness born (Still)

Count your blessings, indicate the form

Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still (Yeah, yo)

[Verse 3: Skyzoo]

Slow dough and it wasn't nothing to grow up with

Swear to god that no one up after us get exposed to it

I just took the moments that mattered and put a flow to it

'Cause it was either that or get pointed to where the soda is

The motive is, be what the fuck they told us we couldn't be

But know that there's polices that's dumping off at the look of me

But look at me, made it like nothing that I assumed, right

My legacy was tucked from the jump, kept it cocoon tight

My Air Lights was tap dancing off on that saran

And, yeah, they plan was to be back, handing off in back of Phantoms

The mechanics had 'em wired, like tucking a wrapped hammer

Up in the back of the radio where all of my latest go

I move like Kadir Nelsons is out of production

And I be seeing in couplets, so bet I'm copping in twos, right?

Still running to the pay, Jesse Owens shit

Medals get to swinging, so it's these you gotta go against, for real

[Chorus: Rakim]

Wake and bake at the break of dawn

And my favorite song "The Chase is On"

Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)

Days are long, the basic's pace, it's gone

If it don't kill, it makes us strong (It's real)

The pace is calm, embrace the storm

Create and perform until greatness born (Still)

Count your blessings, indicate the form

Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still

[Outro: DMX]

God, we thank You for this gathering of souls

We say that with two more gathered in Your name

But You are present, and we thank You for Your presence

We ask that Your grace and blessings are upon the show this evening

We pray that any obstacle the Devil plans to place in our path be removed

We pray that there are no fightings, no stabbings, no shootings

No arrests, no drunk drivings or altercations, or incidents whatsoever

We pray that we are able to touch one person for Your namesake, for Your glory

That if we do so, then we've done something wonderful with our lives

We thank You, Lord, for the things that we realize are blessings

Things that most people take for granted

When's the last time somebody said

"Thank You God for that last breath of air?"

"Thank You for that last sip of water?"

But without these things, we perish

So right now, as a group, we just thank God for the things that

That we realize are actual blessings

But that we still take for granted

We humble ourselves before You

We ask that You guide our steps, that You have Your will

You have Your way in our lives

Father, we didn't make us, so we don't know what to do with us

We thank You for the power that You give us in the spoken word

We-we pray that we're-we-we're reminded of when and how

To use the weapons that You gave us to defeat the enemy

We pray for everyone in this circle, and everyone that's not in this circle

We humble ourselves before You

We praise Your name and give You the glory

We praise Your name and give You the glory

We praise Your name and give You the glory

Amen (Amen)
