The World vs. The Way
Written By: DeMaster A. Thomas
11/14/2002

Verse
(Sample-Snoop-dear god I wonder can you save me)
(Sample-A+-so confused-cant choose between the bible or the rifle)

(Man)
This southern comfort ill with the smoothest possibilities
23-titanium with the clear is you feeling me

(God)
I know you grew up on dead dreams with no soul
See yourself as a player balling out of control
You want that Escalade flavored up with DVD players

(Man)
But instead I died homeless lonely living off prayers
Nothing’s changed from Cain to Abel to crack hall of fame
Pudding tang ask me again and I’ll tell you my name

(God)
I know you think they’re laughing at you son we’re one in the same
I lived to fill the prophecy and died with your pain
And the world upon my shoulders so that you could one day
Walk the streets paved in gold and say I’m home to stay

(Man)
You say you got a room in heaven set up just for me
Forgive me if I don’t believe you see I live to bleed
People passing by see me living off the streets
Got to fill my cart with blankets just to hide the dreams

(God)
But you’re a better man than you ever could see
A brother and a husband and a father of three
So take my hand and talk a walk with me and spend the day
And I will show you how the world lives is not my way

Hook (God)
Die for the death; down to give my life if it’s the last one left.
So confused-can’t choose between the bible or the rifle

Verse(Man)
You see the strength is in the numbers and the paper they stack
Getting rich off the sweat of someone else’s back

(God)
But true love and happiness in their life they lack
When I return to this Earth believe I’m taking it back
There’s no room for hopeless sinners in the place where I’m at
Only those who believe will pass and never look back
On another day of tears frustration and pain

(Man)
It sounds all good but what are you trying to say
I got to live my life for you and wait for judgment day
I hope my name is in that book on the altar it lay

(God)
Now you get the picture, see? It’s coming in clear.
My plan is to save you-take you far from here.

(Man)
I’m sorry but the world I know is hard to forgive
I don’t mean to be the way I am but that’s how it is
I can’t forget the many reasons why my life is wrecked

(God)
That came from worrying too much and you lived with regret.

Hook (repeat) (God)
Die for the death; down to give my life if it’s the last one left.
So confused-can’t choose between the bible or the rifle

Verse(Man)
Last but not least, there’s the spot I used to hang at
Smoke and drink and party ‘til the bangers got the gauge out

We used to trip and flip chips like acrobats
We lived by the sword

(God)
And you died by the gat
Watching you destroy yourself it broke my heart
I never cared about you being the man or being the star
I knew that one day you would go too far
I always loved you for who you were and who you are

(Man)
So what happened 30 later and I’m alone on the streets
No more kissing cheeks and making love in the sheets

(God)
You put the world before your love for me and we were separated
I gave my life save you best believe you know I hate it
I almost lost you to empty promises that faded
Should be glad I pulled you through you almost didn’t make it

(Man)
So to trial is to triumph and to lose is to win
To clear the path to better days I got to live with the sins
And to accept the grace and mercy of your power it is written
I leave the world behind and up to heaven I’ll be lifted

(God)
You’re back where you belong and no longer will you stray
Open your eyes welcome home your body passed away
The journey we took together was your life in quick reflection
I hope the living hear this song and realize the message.
