Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lucifer, dawn of the morning! I′m gonna, chase you out of Earth
Lucifer Lucifer, dawn of de morning...
(I'm from the murder capital, where we murder for capital)
Lucifer Lucifer, dawn of the morning! I′m gonna, chase you out of Earth
(Kanyeeze you did it again, you a genius nigga!)
Lucifer Lucifer, dawn of the morning...
So you niggas change your attitude
[Verse One]
Lord forgive him
He got them dark forces in him
But he also got a righteous cause for sinnin'
Them a murder me so i gotta murder them first
Emergency doctors performin procedures
Jesus
I ain't tryin to be facetious
But "Vengance is mine" said the Lord
You said it better than all
Leave niggas on deaths door
Breathin off res-por-rators
For killin my best boy, HATERS
On permanent hiatus as I skate
In the Mabach Benz
Flier than Sanaa Lathan
Pumpin "Brown Sugar" by D′Angelo
In Los Angeles
Like an evangelist
I can introduce you to your maker
Bring you closer to nature
Ashes after they cremate you bastards
Hope you been readin your Psalms and chapters
Payin your tithes being good Catholics
I′m commin
[Chorus]
Lucifer, dawn of the morning! I'm gonna, chase you out of Earth
Lucifer Lucifer, dawn of the morning...
(I′m from the murder capital, where we murder for capital)
Lucifer Lucifer, dawn of the morning! I'm gonna, chase you out of Earth
Lucifer Lucifer, dawn of the morning...
So you niggas change your attitude
For they askin what happened to you
[Verse Two]
Yes
This is Holy war
I wet cha all with the Holy water
Spray from the Heckler, Koch auto
Matic all the static shall cease to exist
Like a sematical I throw a couple at you
Take six
Spread love to all of my dead thugs
I′ll pour out a little Louis til I head above
Yes Sir
And when I perish
The meek shall inherit the earth
Until that time it's on a poppin - Church
Like Don Bishop
The fifth upon cock either
Lift up your soul or give the Holy ghost please
I leave ya in somebody′s Cathedral
And stuntin like Evil Kenevil
I'll let you see where that bright light lead you
The more you talk the more you irkin us
The more you gonna need memorial services
The Black Albums second verse is like
Devil's Pie save some dessert for us
[Breakdown]
Man I gotta get my soul right
I gotta get these Devils out my life
These cowards gonna make a nigga ride
They won′t be happy til somebody dies
Man I gotta get my soul right
′For I'm locked up for my whole life
Every time it seems it′s all right
Somebody want they soul to rise
(I'll chase you off of this Earth)
[Verse Three]
I got dreams of holdin a Nine milla
To Bobs killa
Askin him "why?" as my eyes fill up
These days i can′t wake up with a dry pillow
Gone but not forgotten holmes i still feel ya
SO... curse the day that birthed the bastard
Who caused your Church mass
Reverse the crash
Reverse the blast
And reverse the car
Reverse the day, and there you are
Bob Allah
Lord forgive him. we all have sinned
But Bob's a good dude please let him in
And if you feel in my heart that i long for revenge
Please blame it on the sun of the morning
Thanks Again
The song "Lucifer" by Team Teamwork featuring lyrics from Jay-Z's "Lucifer" entails a conversation between Jay-Z and Lucifer. The chorus of the song, “Lucifer, dawn of the morning! I′m gonna, chase you out of Earth” sets the tone for the song. In the first verse, Jay-Z points out the fact that he is from the murder capital and is willing to fight against the dark forces, which he feels are working against him. He wants to get even with those who killed his "best boy," hence their attitude change is necessary. Jay-Z indicates that he possesses the strength of the Lord within himself, which will help him conquer Lucifer.
In the second verse, Jay-Z continues to talk about his desire for revenge and his aim to use holy water to drive away the devil. However, he does not resort to violent means to solve problems. He also discusses the evil nature of humans and how they are constantly trying to bring others down. In the breakdown section of the song, he speaks about his internal conflict and how he wants to right all his wrongs before it's too late. Finally, in the outro, Jay-Z asks for forgiveness from the Lord for his past sins and wrongdoings.
