Our Father, give us this day, our daily bread |

Before the feds give us these days and take our daily bread |

See I done did all this ol' bullshit |

And to atone, I throw a lil' somethin somethin on the pulpit |

We took that shit, measured it and then cooked that shit |

And what we gave back was crack music |
