[Verse 1]
They go [Em]one for the Prophet,
two for Islam
Three for the Khutba from the Imam
Four for the [D]mother [Em]that
[D]birthed my frame
Five for the father 'cause
[Em]he taught me game
Been 'round the world,
songs are all the same
Sometimes when I'm asleep
I still call your name
Back when I [D]was young
I used to dream of fame
Now they all point they fingers
saying who's to blame
[Em]Mothers put their girls into pigtail curls
Fathers teach their sons how
to shoot their guns
They say, [D]"Boy don't never cry
control your emotions
Just take it like a man,
make your stand"
They say,
[Em]"Sex and violence go hand in hand"
For every man blessed
there got to be ten damned
[D]Ex pand through the [Em]depths
of [G]space and [D]time
Standing three eyes blind
on the [Em]firing line
Word to my man divine, come too far
Singing la ilaha il allah
Twelve [G]rakahs short on my [D]full
day's prayer
Just hoping that the lord got
[Em]some mercy to spare
They go one for the ummah, two
for the deen
Three for the angels,
four for the alamin
Somewhere between totally
obscene
And perfectly clean,
[D]got a Babylon [B]fee[Em]ling'
Wounds that need healing', truth
need revealing'
Hands need washing' from all
the dirty dealing'
From the [D]floor to the ceiling', from
[Em]the stage to the [D]door
From the kings and the [Em]queens
and the slaves and the [D]whores
For [Em]every lost cause where
the martyrs are found
That funky little sound,
that make you want to get down
Some[D]body told me once,
love [G]makes the world go [D]round
Now kids they carry pistols
[Em]out on the playground
That profound, gone too far.
Praying to the light from a burned out star
Put your [D]lights on,
put down your crosses
It's time to tally up your wins
and your losses
They go [Em]one for Scott La Rock
Two for Pac and B.I.G.
And three for all the mothers
who got graves to dig
[D]For all the mothers who got graves to dig
For all the [Em]mothers who got graves [D]to dig
