God Love Us Lyrics

    [Nas]
    Uhh..
    Uh.. speak without thinkin..

    That's what it's about
    It's about that, inner, inner love, yaknawmean?

    [Chorus: Nas]

    God love us hood niggaz (I know)
    Cause next to Jesus on the cross was the crook niggaz (I know)
    and the killers, God love us good niggaz (I know)
    Cause on the streets is the hood niggaz, uhh
    And I know he feel us, uhh
    God love us hood niggaz (I know)
    Cause he be wit us in the prisons
    and he takes time to listen, uhh
    God love us hood niggaz (I know)
    Cause next to Jesus on the cross was the crook niggaz, uhh
    but he forgive us

    [Nas]
    He who has ears, let him hear
    And he who has sight, let him see
    He who has life, let him be
    See everything goes through change
    Those who know don't talk
    and those who talk don't know a thing
    Men are born soft and turn tough
    Dead lay a stiffened heart, I've been kissed by God
    I've been hurt, I've been marked for death, almost ripped apart
    by the beast but he missed his mark
    Alone in the dark my thoughts had sparked up
    when I saw my body on the floor, from above I watch it all
    Yo it came to me, the pain in me
    Many slain empty skulls where a brain should be
    It strangely seemed, like it was a dream
    but the si-rens had never woke me
    Only reason I'm here now is cause God chose me
    And to me, I'm only just a crook nigga
    But God love us hood niggaz

    [Chorus]

    [Nas]
    Day by day by day I sit back and pray
    My thugs get packed away, in a maxi-cage
    They pass away, they went off the casket way
    My gats will spray, but that won't bring em back today
    So long my crimies now gone for eternity
    The team we got left on the set, now turn to me
    Can't speak, tears in my eyes, revenge in my mind
    I ride past the church where they got his body and find
    they takin him to the hearse to put his body in dirt
    That's it, pay my respects, wipe my tears with my shirt
    Now it's time to do work, out of love and retribution
    As loyalty, he would die for me, no excuses
    Loadin clips up, countin bullets carefully
    For self, though it feels like, he was there for me
    Saw the enemy, I ate him, saw Jakes behind me
    They ain't knock me, it's obvious that God's watchin me

    [Chorus]

    [Nas]
    Jealousy in the hood, felonies in the hood
    Thugs wit guns become celebrities in the hood
    Yo it's beef in the hood, smoke trees in the hood
    Little girls have seeds by O.G.'s in the hood
    It's food in the hood, it's drugs in the hood
    You can choose if you would, coke to sniff
    Dope to ooze in your blood, parolees
    ex-cons live in the hood, it's jobs in the hood
    You can starve in the hood
    Your best friends'll fuck your baby moms in the hood
    But it's good in the hood
    I was raised in the hood
    Was taught how to walk and duck strays in the hood
    I stays in the hood, got my ways from the hood
    Learned to play ball go to the NBA, in the hood
    There's AIDS (uh) in the hood (WHAT?)
    Our lives are the worst, on top of that, we broke
    That's the main reason why God, love us the most

    [Chorus 2X]
