A Prayer for Hip-Hop

[Tanee78]

I didn't know if I should've posted this in the lyrics section, but if ya wanna move it, ya can!

A yo, Mase, I love you, praying for you
Hoping you last
Here's a word of caution
Don't let preachers promote you too fast
Be led of the spirit
Do everything within God's timing
As sure as the choirs singing, these lyrics is God rhyming.

If you a baller, I ain't jealous of you
when the earth's destroyed through Christ
I live for ever so think about it
I'm jealous of who?

Bloods and crips got beef that's major
Sportin' the same color hankerchiefs Aunt Jemima was rockin' when Master raped her!

So all you MC's hear my cry
Stop playin' with Jehovah's name
for lesser things other brother's have died
Jesus loves you, just like he loves me
But if you don't repent, he'll crush you,
just like he'll crush me.
Huh? Ya heard?

In the beginning was the word and the word was with God
and the word was God,
and since the word was made flesh and Christ is the word
That makes Jesus Christ God manifest in the flesh.
Word!

I pray Kim and Foxy have no more beef and Jesus loves you
But Satan would love to
get ya'll both in hell to have a threesome
As sure as Biggie and Pac was beefin'
The devil won't stop until the last MC in Hip-Hop stop breathin'.

So why rappers battle to see who's great,
Satan's planning your wake or preparing you for trip upstate
Then when you upstate, that same devil'll hop in your man
that ran with your click
Now satan is living inside your man, banging your chick

In Jesus name
Hip-Hop hear what I'm saying to you
DMX, Wherever you are I'm praying for you
And my prayer is, that you would stop resisting the Light
Cause you'll never have peace until you start livin' for Christ
I don't know your pain
But like you, It's real in my dome
And like you, I'm surrounded by people and feel alone
But we're never alone
Jesus Christ forever the throne
at the cross he crushed the devils head and forever it's gone

Lord I pray for every label, producer and sound man
And every Christian selling they soul for soundscan

I pray for Nas, ODB, Ludacris, Lauryn Hill and every rapper that flow and MC
Whoa is me!
They ain't controllin' me!
I pray that pride don't get a hold of me!
Now everywhere I go
Everybody know it's me
So Father protect me, cause my enemies are holding heat

I spit for Christ
That's lyrics divine
and with his Spirit I shine and when I'm spittin this lyric
If you don't want to feel it, it's fine
And while the critics are asking," Is it a rhyme?"
I'm flowing for Jesus
Even Sade is like, "Is it a crime?"

I pray for R.Kelly
I pray for me
I pray for akanelly(?)
and everyone who's locked in the beast belly

I pray that Suge Knight would see that Light
So when he leaves this life
He can forever be with Jesus Christ
And that's real!

I thought this would be a good thing to post, especially cause of the Mase and DMX issues that's going on. (It was written a few years ago.)
If you wanna hear this, you can go to:

www.redprecise.com
and click on audio and go to the second column and click on "A Prayer for Hip-Hop"
You can also check out all their songs (I recommend "Bump in Da Night", Da Matrix Joint", and Resistance Iz Futile"!

Peace!

This is great and really hit home!

Those are some incredible lyrics. And I think it does go with what's going on with those guys. It's like I can see that there is something powerful in DMX, but for whatever reason it's not able to completely surface.
