    Verse 1
    Where my riders for life in this rodeo,
    Who know what's it's like to have been Pinocchio
    And living the life of slang and colloquial
    Let me take you to school like parochial
    Tokyo got heat for your Nokia
    Hip-Hop World wide and appropriate
    But when it tries to make God an associate
    Even your phone ringer brings the atrocious
    Back up young buck, I know I stretched that word
    Ain't nobody hear it, you ain't have to stress that word
    Ain't nobody fear it, you ain't have to stress that word
    But when people say that got the Spirit...
    Stress that Word!
    Now Hip-Hop music makes the world go round
    On a turntable axis and a vinyl ground
    Needle over the equator and they dropped it down
    That pop and that click was a static sound
    Now that click and that pop is an automatic round
    Hip-Hop wears an autocratic crown
    Who gonna tell this Art anything now?
    'Cause Hip-Hop can't even hear Hip-Hop now

    Verse 2
    So as Hip-Hop rocks to the break of dawn
    Don't nobody leave 'til six in the morn'
    And they all come home like the "Children of the Corn"...
    Just here to make a killing and they gone
    Hip-hop used to say, "Rock on, baby bubba!"
    Now it's dang diggy dang da dang!, more baby mothers
    And less men at work
    And that's even from the "windows to the walls" of the Church
    And it's becoming a concocted mixture now
    We record contrary tracks and try to mix it down
    And people all confused and don't know what to do
    I heard a brother leave the church talking bout', "Holler-Lu!"
    And another cat talking bout', "Praise the Ford!"
    The same cat won the "Most Pimped Out" church van award
    And though I've never seen guns
    I did see a guy pull out a knot and start speaking in ones
    Another said, "Pot is good, all the dime, and all the dime pot is good!"
    And if it ain't hit your town, then it could
    Hip-Hopcracy don't discriminate by block or hood

    Verse 3
    Well now if Hip-Hop is gonna be true to life
    Then Hip-Hop's gotta be true to Christ
    'Cause as the Hebrew writer cites,
    His creative endeavors made all things and hold all together
    So that kick and snare that jerks your spine is 'cause God made noise work by design
    So it's Divine and not by chance that you can make a hot track and do a little dance
    And write a little rhyme
    Ain't that crazy?
    Words whose sounds match that stimulate the mind
    And what if you can write a verse?
    How you paying homage to music's Maker with punchlines of curse?
    And the stanza's that modern man does are full of vanity, vulgarity and propaganda
    But I guess that's this age -
    We Thugs and Fools
    We even stick God up and saying, "Run the jewels!"
    But God ain't the type to lay down flat and put His hand behind His head and turn His back
    He's the type to look right back down your pipe
    And see the Cross in the crosshairs of your site
    And be like, "Oh you sticking me up? No you' not...
    I'm loaning you my stuff, but you on the clock.
    And when that last tic-tocks, I'm coming to your block
    To see what you did with my Son and with my Hip-Hop!"
    So woe to all men who have abused the craft with unjustified math and filthy cash
    "Will a man rob God?" No indeed
    But that's the sin and attempt of Hip-Hop-cracy
