作曲 : Corey Brewer & Abnes "Abnormal" Dubose & Carlton Ridenhour 作词 :   Crosstown traffic black to black you shoulda seen her Long and winding road to the arena Crystal ball I prophesized what was on the horizon And forewarned y'all is it any wonder What kind of ground you goin' under? A September ender to March madness, remember? You never heard a murder take it for example Unsolved mystery life lost in a funk sample Enter the bandwagons braggin' hangin' banners Clearin' the way for younger MCs and new Hammers What was criticized six years back is now back With New York on the Jersey Front and back Feel like Tiger Woods got mad goods Way up from the cheap seats comin' outta the hood Race to the black seats amongst the wack seats Be the hardcore alongside the deadbeats The world lookin' on like spectators at crucified gladiators And playing hate like alligators Feels like a jungle inside where fish swim and birds fly Man got a tendency to die, man falls to the hands of man But damn if I'll ever try to survive at courtside Four tickets to fly rap or play ball do the game Or duck the drive by Idols in the sky, look at how they die Right before your eyes, realise Is your Lord a God ? Or is your God a dog? Idols in the sky,look at how they die Right before your eyes, realise Is your Lord a God ? Or is your God a dog? Same league that defends be the same ones that do us in Spys, C.I.A , F.B.I and them suites up in that corporate sky Eye for an eye the target is the bad guy Heard the war is on from the announcin' Bound to get the crowd bouncin' Yes and it counts and in this corner representin' the Best in the west, died from four bullets two in the chest Worshipped on the other side off TV sets Had mad fans comin' outta both sex Sold, multi platinum eight times gold But died of homicide twenty five years old Heard he died in debt too I ain't seen a winner yet, you? The confused crowd booed the whole crew In that corner number one in the east The peace cursed for life by the mark of the beast Raised by peeps rode jeeps deep in Brooklyn beats Praised as a hero who came up off the streets The crowd looks on claimin' sides they don't own A house built up on their skulls and them bones Knew it be a matter of time the play by play Two main rappers slain so let us pray Idols in the sky,look at how they die Right before your eyes, realise Is your Lord a God ? Or is your God a dog? Idols in the sky,look at how they die Right before your eyes, realise Is your Lord a God ? Or is your God a dog? With all the gunnin' crowd goin' crazy Gettin' bigger proud to be called a bunch of bitches and niggas The ghetto, stage fulla field nigga goals Hip hop shootouts verses those house negros Five bodies got on the shot clock runnin' down in the count Made the scoreboard rock the referees the L.A.P.D The L.V.P.D said they couldn't catch what they could not see Question, was it bigger than the names? Not only in the game? But the game behind the game Down to the remaining seconds of this record Anatomy of a murder, intensity of a mystery Dead and gone as the heads looked on helpless As the atmosphere was preyed on investigating And the winners be Interscope, UNI , Arista, BMG Lost in overtime the tombstone trophies for the people that cried And the rhymes that died, the beats that deceased May the best rest in peace Idols in the sky,look at how they die Right before your eyes, realise Is your Lord a God ? Or is your God a dog?
