A Minute To Pray Lyrics - Xzibit

[Intro] 

Yeah, it's been a long time 

Welcome back, yeah 

Our Father, who art in Heaven 

Got niggaz jumpin out the buildin like 9/11, c'mon 

[Xzibit] 

Only God could save us 

I done burned down the town and killed my neighbor 

Do I, come to you for my early demise? (yeah) 

A minute to pray, it only take a second to die 

Niggaz ain't prepared, too scared to do it 

Dippin cigerettes in embalmin fluid 

Hoods, special effects bring the drama to it 

But sue me if you wanna see the trauma youth 

I'm a walkin time bomb, don't tick me off 

Crucified to die, nailed to the cross 

Natural transition, foot soldier to boss 

The A.K. ricochet put blood in your cough 

And you know the whole fucked up part of it all? 

Take a muh'fucker's life somebody comin for yours 

It's the get-back gangstas don't believe in karma 

Only the strength of the dollar and the body armor 

You the bitch ass nigga or a man of honor 

My hands wrap around your throat like a anaconda 

Then squeeze 'til your eyes pop out of your face 

Then relocate to a brand new space (yo) 

[Chorus: Xzibit] 

Only God could save us (yeah) 

I done burned down the town and killed my neighbor (yeah) 

Do I, come to you with blood on my hands (yeah) 

or run away from the place that I stand? WHO THE FUCK I AM, YEAH! 

Only God could save us 

I done burned down the town and killed my neighbor 

Do I, come to you for my early demise? 

A minute to pray, it only take a second to die 

[Xzibit] 

I used to snatch people out of cars with a shotgun 

Now I give cars to people who ain't got one 

Still got the shotgun, whole different lifestyle 

Kill you with a crowbar, wrapped in a white towel 

Gotta play it smart now, the streets is watchin 

The streets dictate the beats so my beats be knockin 

Fuck a Strong Arm, I'll drop your coffin 

Yeah yeah, muh'fucker I hear you talkin 

Niggaz so often take kindness for weakness 

Heat-seekin G with the elite on some cheap shit 

This my square boy, you can't take me out of it 

You want war nigga you better bring a lot of it 

I ain't a problem with puttin my problems to rest 

You so pussy, boy you need a gynocologist 

The hand, the bullet, the firin pin 

Please God forgive me for I have sinned, Amen 

[Chorus] 

[Xzibit] 

Huh, hit a nigga, kill a nigga will come back 

Murder rap never attached, got too many snaps 

It's more than raps, it's actual facts 

Welcome back to the West, left side of your map 

Been attacked from all sides, it's time for the payback 

Lay back, wait for the right time to spray that 

Spray that motherfucker, down to the last clip 

Last clip you save for the cop on some waive shit 

Blaze haze for days; shocked, stunned, amazed 

Bitch best behave or take the fade 

Blaze Shade-45 in the all-black Bentley 

If I gotta go, y'all niggaz comin with me 

Simply put, Mobb Deep said y'all were (Shook) 

And when I come through, you just look 

We don't change the game, we close the book 

I let you go now, I know you got crack to cook, c'mon 

[Chorus - 2X]
