I wasn’t worried
I walked into the room
I saw the serpant’s shadow
Against the silver moon

They said as long as you believe
You’ll be alright

And I wasn’t worried
‘Til I saw one bite

You could touch, you could feel
You could smell them all through the night

But as long as you believe, you’re gonna be alright

Or you’ll be running, running for your life

But I didn’t worry, when I caught the spell
I saw the eyes, saw the teeth, beads of sweat
Think I’d gone to hell

They said as long as you believ
A snake won’t bite

Or you’ll be running, running for your life

But I’ve gotta tell you
Power over snakes
Sure makes me feel so different
From a cane break

And just as long as you believe
A snake won’t bite, yeah

Taking up serpents can take your life
They stuck my hand down in there without a bite

Just as long as you believe, boy
You’ll be alright

I should be running, running for my life

(solo)

Yeeeeh Uh

Oh I didn’t tell you
About the one that got bit
On the face, on the arms
Between the legs, on the back of the neck

Uh

You see, he didn’t believe
The boy didn’t believe
I said he didn’t believe
He didn’t believe

And just as long as you believe, a snake won’t bite

Uh

So I didn’t worry ’cause the snake won’t bite
The snake won’t bite
The snake won’t bite

salvation belongs to our God
who sits upon the throne
and unto the lamb
be praise and glory, wisdom and thanks
honor, and power, and strength

be to our God forever and ever
be to our God forever and ever
be to our God forever and ever
AMEN

we the redeemed shall be strong
in purpose and unity
declaring aloud
be praise and glory, wisdom and thanks
honor, and power, and strength!

be to our God forever and ever
be to our God forever and ever
be to our God forever and ever
AMEN

And then he stood in the check-out line
Approximately 3 hours
“This is cold war!” shouted a clerk
“This is Russian hell!” shouted a jerk
“Venusian baby food for sale
Builds strong bodies 12 different ways”
The butcher sliced into a large side of beef
As if he were trying to win female respect
At a county fair
The man staggered to the automatic exit
And threw up his guts
That’s food!
FDA inspected
Off the counter and into the stomach
And back onto the floor
Where it belongs…

I have to say my friends
This road goes a long, long way
And if we’re going to find the end
We’re gonna need a helping hand

I have to say my friends
We’re looking for a light ahead
In the distance a candle burns
Salvation keeps the hungry children fed

It’s gotta take a lot of salvation
What we need are willing hands
You must feel the sweat in your eyes
You must understand salvation

A chance to put the devil down
Without the fear of hell
Salvation spreads the gospel round
And free you from yourself

To all those people doin’ lines,
Don’t do it, don’t do it.
Inject your soul with liberty,
It’s free, it’s free.

To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don’t do it, don’t do it.
Because it’s not not what it seems,
No no it’s not not what it seems.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Ah, ah, ah, ah

To all the parents with sleepless nights,
Sleepless nights.
Tie your kids home to their beds,
Clean their heads.

To all the kids with heroin eyes,
Don’t do it, don’t do it.
Because it’s not not what it seems,
No no it’s not not what it seems.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Dido :
How can I change the world if I can’t even change myself ?
I cannot change the way I am ?
I don’t know, I don’t know.

Maxi Jazz :
I take a look at the world behind these eyes,
Every nook, every cranny reorganise,
Realise my face don’t fit the way I feel.
What’s real ?
I need a mirror to check my face is in place,
Incase of upheval, fundamental movement below,
What’s really going on I wanna know,
But yo, we don’t show on the outside, so slide.
Just below my skin I’m screaming…

I need a mirror for my spirit,
Yeah, acn you feel it ?
When I get deep, wanna hear myself sleep,
Not drowning, just tumbling around and around in the voices
Like a crowd in my head so loud,
I wonder what it’s like to be dead,
I hope it’s quiet, noise in my head like a riot,
Any remedy you have for me I’ll try it.
Just below my skin I’m screaming…

I’m going deep, so deep that I can’t sleep,
The pills ain’t cheep but the bills are steep,
So I ___ with a booze and a slpiff,
Try to snooze,
But who’s dreaming ___ this is win or loose,
Put down the drink, try not to think,
Let it go, fundamental movement below,
And yo, reality is dreaming,
Just below my skin I’m screaming…

“Yeah, they talkin about rap.”
“We don’t rap, its not about rap we livin it what they talkin about.
It’s not about college or what you read in a newspaper or magazine. Its hear its reality, this is our nature. Its how we live.”

[Guru]

Now everybody on Earth wanna rap, we burnt all of that
Knocked off the game, and cold broke is spat
Gang Starr, will Billy Danze and Big Slap
Word to Laze, big schools and big gats
You didn’t whip it right so pick up the pace
Word to grimy niggas, they want to stick up the place
Word to hiphop, plus a crib that’s laced
Primo’s breaks, activate the mental, that’s all
We got credentials galore, fuck a small vending tour
Yet, still, I be at the around-the-way spots
Near where niggas be slinging innocent get hit by straight shots
And brave cops, protect the community
While corrupt cops, be harrasing you and me
Pullin me over, in front of the crib, in front of my neighbors
Askin for favors, here’s a cassette and why you
question my behavior?
Pursuing me, trying to catch me off quard
I shrug scars, you see a lot of hoes at thug bars
I don’t care what these beats my do
We’ll sun you, plus I see right through
Its way it means to me and M.O.P.
Just To Get a Rep, nigga, you best to step, nigga, Salute!

Chorus:

Holdin it down
Phony ass rappers
Dead serious
Finish em
(Is this hiphop) Hell no this is war
Heavy artillery, in my vicinty
*repeat – change 5th line to: M.O.P.*

[Billy Danze]

Aiyyo, the game’s called surivival *echoes* I admit
As a soldier, I’ve done a lot of shit
To the so-called tough dude, I ain’t mad at you
But I wish I wouldn’t of had to do the shit I had to do
It’s true, I would jump up in a Bamma
And travle miles of road to unload this hammer
(And I) Notice ?colors? when they glance
At the baby boy of Haddy and Frank Danze
I won’t stress the blazin
But I will think about what size slug best for the occasion
(It’s so amazin) ???? pop shit
Like Windy Williams till you fuckers bury me
(Who we be!) What, what’s wrong, nigga?
(First Family) Come, come on, nigga!
(Ain’t nothin cute) My niggas is ready to shoot
For the love of the First Family thugs, Salute!

Chorus

[Lil’ Fame]

Before you slit your wrist, bitch, imagine this
M.O.P., Gang Starr (Damn!) hazardous
Thugs that got love for this hiphop and shit
Makin words rhyme at the same time poppin shit
I used to go to jams, and drop grammar
Before I left niggas told me (Boy take your hammer!)
Sure nuff, shit got rowdy
Dumped off my first clip at a house party
I love this rap shit, though, the love is clear
But fuck the parties, my nigga, I lost a brother there
Only if I’m gettin paid (That’s right)
And the shit gon’ benefit the trade
I snatch a mic, turn it out, bad
Even have you smooth niggas fuckin up yours shoes and your outfit
I be, the Brownsville slugger (Signing out)
Act like you know what I’m about, Salute!

Chorus

[Busta Rhymes]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The Anarchy, Busta Rhymes shit c’mon!

[Busta Rhymes]
All praise due, we comin through real hard
Niggaz raisin they right hand, salutin da God
Yo, like a burnin sensation of Henny on the first sip
Hot shit my nigga; let me spit a verse quick
Work shit inward, until my niggaz hurt shit
and plot elaborate schemes for monies niggaz worship
Beautiful like the pleasure of when I burst my first clip
at a nigga who sold me a brick that wasn’t WORTH shit
Yo, we BOMB shit, fire alarm shit
with my bitches who take packages under they armpit
Now, we remain the +Imperial+ live niggaz
who consistantly blackout and rep for them wild niggaz
Yo, you incompatible, snatch yo’ collateral
Gun blunt you, and rep for every thug capital
Diagonal vision, niggaz seein shit on slant
Plant beatings on niggaz and celebrate a war chant
Diabolic how we manifest raw logic
Chronological time, we bring niggaz the raw project
Hold fort and represent as the grand wizard
Street chronicle illustrate the bakin of a bad blizzard
I got a spot for ya,
with live niggaz who murder sloppier
than ALL of the Trenchcoat Mafia yo
Cause when you hear the sweet music playin
It’s like theme music for murder scenes
like the Colorado slayin – cause I don’t give a fuck
Speedin like we racin on the Aqueduct
Black tinted-out, government truck
Curbside on niggaz, leanin just a little bit
Trunk trapped with smoke, my bitch’ll take a little hit
Fake niggaz could be the BEST actors
My bullets whiz so fast you feel the WINDSHIELD factors
In the wrong place you get your WIG peeled backwards
Get an ounce of the ‘dro and STEAM a pack of Blackwoods

Chorus: Busta Rhymes

Ready for Busta Rhymes
He’s the one we’ve all, been waiting for, forever
(Yeah, yeah, just feel what I feel niggaz!!)
Ready for Flipmode Squad

They’re the ones we’ve all, been waiting for, forever
(Now, hah, yeah, I try so hard,
to just share that shit that I’m feelin!!)
Ready for Busta Rhymes
(All my niggaz just talk to me!!)
He’s the one we’ve all, been waiting for, forever
(So powerful!! Flipmode Squad now!!)
Ready for Flipmode Squad
(Yeah, new “Rulership,”
all my niggaz just walk in line!!)
They’re the ones we’ve all, been waiting for, forever
(Walk in line with me!! Talk to me now!!)

[Busta Rhymes]
Welcome..
We are now in the current state of the Anarchy
We fight, to survive niggaz
We fight, to rule our own government
We livin in a current state, of no fuckin government
Niggaz don’t even know how to follow they own spirit
Lost niggaz..
Unsure niggaz, insecure niggaz
Fuck that! Salute, all our motherfuckers!!
All my niggaz ready to hold it down on the front line!!
We survived it niggaz, two-thousand
Time for the new bloodline to run shit
Enjoy the album

Yo, the time has come
For everyone to clean up their own backyard
Before they go knocking on their neighbor’s door
The House of Pain is cleaning up, sweeping up, clocking up
Check it, check yourself before you check another
It’s the House of Pain, Pain, Pain..

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
So when I hear about the hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes

We climb the highest mountains
We’ll make the desert bloom
We’re so ingenious we can walk on the moon
But when I hear ’bout how the forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love, but now that’s not enough
For the world I love is dying, and now I’m crying
Time is not a friend, ’cause friends we’re out of time
And it’s slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest oceans
Send photographs of stars
We’re so enchanted by how clever we are
Why should one baby be so hungry she cries?
Saltwater wells in my eyes.

I have lived for love, but now that’s not enough
For the world I love is dying, and now I’m crying
Time is not a friend, ’cause friends we’re out of time
And it’s slowly passing by
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children rolled into one
What will god think of me the day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes.
