Rakim - GOD'S PLAYGROUND Lyrics

Wake and bake at the break of dawn
And my favorite song "The Chase is On"
Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)
Days are long and basic, patience gone
If it don't kill, it makes us strong (that's real)
The pace is calm, embrace the storm
Create, perform until greatness born (leggo)
Still count your blessings in the cake of thorn (huh, yeah)
Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still (ayo, huh)

Y'all snitched to become free
You gotta beat the crack game to become me
See, you got robbed for one ki
You was a bitch in the game like Chun-Li
I'll get you slumped free by my young G
Came out to womb, a young beast that was unleashed, huh
Inside of the V with my gun beast
Stash open with three buttons like a onesie
I'm from streets a place you won't dare go
Clip long then my barrel got air holes
I'm way too thorough to compare flows
I make birds disappear like scarecrows, huh
You work for the company, I share a hold, huh
I'm stingy with money, but I share hoes, huh
Me B.I.g. Both had rare goals
To put five carats in my baby girl earlobes, trust

Wake and bake at the break of dawn
And my favorite song "The Chase is On"
Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)
Days are long and basic, patience gone
If it don't kill, it makes us strong (that's real)
The pace is calm, embrace the storm
Create, perform until greatness born
Still count your blessings in the cake of thorn
Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still (he's gone)

Say I'm in the popular space (uh-huh)
I won't stop 'til I'm dropping the rave (right)
I know the block is in place (I know)
Shoot it via text message, I just copy and paste (uh)
Clubbing, I come through with an icy watch
To rub it in 'cause ain't that many I see hot (woo)
They told me I should fill 'em
Lakers three-peat, Kobe, I should kill 'em
My quuotables the dopest
If they spit sick then I'm walking around with multiple sclerosis
Them bitches be gross shit (ugh)
Still 'gon lick a orange juice
Mimosas, flows sick like I'm under hypnosis to be Biggie (uh-huh)
Have to admit, every doctor try to admit me (uh-huh)
Two clips, two four-fifths under the kidney (blaow)
Told Trey Yates to come give me, gone dumb

Wake and bake at the break of dawn
And my favorite song "The Chase is On"
Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)
Days are long and basic, patience gone
If it don't kill, it makes us strong (that's real)
The pace is calm, embrace the storm
Create, perform until greatness born
Still count your blessings in the cake of thorn
Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still (yeah)

Yo, slow dough and it wasn't nothing to grow up with
Swear to God that no one up after us get exposed to it
I just took the moments that mattered and put a flow to it
'Cause it was either that or get pointed to where the soda is
The motive is, be what the f*ck they told us we couldn't be
But know that there's polices that's dumping off at the look of me
But look at me, made it like nothing that high assumed, right?
My legacy was chucked from the junk, kept the cocoon tight
My A of likes was tap dancing off on that saran
And yet they plan was to be back, handing off and back the phantoms
The Mechanix had 'em wired, like tucking the rat
Hammer up in the back of the radio
Where all of my latest go
I move like Cadet Nelsons is out of production
And I be seeing in couplets, so bet I'm copping in twos, right?
Still running to the pay Jesse Owens shit
Medals get the swinging, so it's these you gotta go against, for real

Wake and bake at the break of dawn
And my favorite song "The Chase is On"
Same shit 'til my paper long (I build)
Days are long and basic, patience gone
If it don't kill, it makes us strong (that's real)
The pace is calm, embrace the storm
Create, perform until greatness born
Still count your blessings in the cake of thorn
Can't stop me, even if my brakes was on, I'm still

God, we thank You for this gathering of souls
We say that with two more gathered in Your name
That You are our presence and we thank You for Your presence
We ask that Your grace and blessings are upon the show this evening
We pray that any obstacle the Devil plans to place in our path be removed
We pray that there are no fighting, no stabbing no shootings
No arrests, no drunk drivings or altercation of incidents whatsoever
We pray that we are able to touch one person for Your name's sake, for Your glory
And if we do so then we've done something wonderful with our lives
We thank You, Lord, for the things that we realize are blessings
Things that most people take for granted
When's the last time somebody said
"Thank You God for that last breath of air"
"Thank You for that last sip of water"
But without these things, we perish
So right now as a group, we just thank God for the things that
That we realize are actual blessings
But that we still take for granted
We humble ourselves before You
We ask that You guide our steps, that You have Your will
You have Your way in our lives
Father, we didn't make this so we don't know what to do with us
We thank You for the power that You give us in the spoken word
We-we pray that we're-we-we're reminded of when and how
To use the weapons that You gave us to defeat the enemy
We pray for everyone in this circle and everyone that's not in this circle
We humble ourselves before You
Praise Your name and give You the glory
We praise Your name and give You the glory
We praise Your name and give You the glory
Amen (amen)
