Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Th-th-th-this some motherfucking scripture right here, ya heard?
The good book says and all that shit
You want to talk about mind control?
Just flip a motherfuckin' song for that ass
Open your hymnal to page sixteen, it begins with the letter P
And the God said, "Let there be light!"
Talking about showing a bitch the end of the tunnel, you understand?
You gon' meet your maker
You still owe her that rib, a ho gotta pay that back with interest

Cross heart, die slow, light rain, thin coat
False lash, high heel, real skin, come feel
Blonde hair, red lips, blue face, tie clips
Look love, you want this ass, don't front

S-s-s-see, the way to a bitch purse is get in a bitch head
And on the sixteenth letter a ho gon' say what you said
Like in a real way, like a bitch think what you thought and ain't even know
And if you real about this pimpin', you ain't never puff
'Cause pussy and dick stack a dollar so quick
You got a motherfuckin' cathedral and the palisades off a ho money
Keep up with this game now, you gettin' it from the source
Bottle and sell it, prohibition or not, pussy make paper plate, boy

Got hats, bring that big talk, lay back
Fuck boy, don't play, just noise, no names
Stay wet, come see, work hard, get free
This day, good good, cum more, you should

D-d-d-don't let the ho get lost now
That ho is out of body and that mind is yours to shepherd
So make 'em listen up like a dome on a motherfuckin' mosque
So a bitch can find it in the dark
Be a beacon of hope for the weary and tired
'Cause them feet been on the street all night
But as long as they got tithes in hand
The tabernacle gon' shelter you from the storm
Say it loud now, "Pimps up, hoes down" (hoes down)
"Fuck bitches, get money" (get money)
"Hallelujah" (-lujah)
"Amen" (Amen)

Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen
Bow your head, repeat what is said
Lead us away from every temptation, Lord
Deliver us from Heaven
Queen and kingdom caught all inside
Glory, glory, Hallelujah
Mysterious ways the spirit moves
While pleasured bodies moan in pace
Amazing grace, the sweet exchange
From lost to found, the wretched stays
Holy font, measured and running over
Warm to the touch, it's eternal

while studying music, the biggest criticism from my professor was that looped music (usually HipHop and most dance/electronica) tends not to go โ€˜anywhereโ€™ ...I think they would find themselves remiss upon digging deeper to find quality music/artists such as this...thank you for taking me somewhere with you

sageinthetallhills

if we're talking opinions, then okay it could go anywhere. But anyone teaching music at a university level who doesn't understand looping, who then doesn't understand how classical minimalism can be directly compared to that, and then most folk music for god's sake, I just don't know. And the dude who taught me theory said the same kind of stuff and I don't hate him but it's like come on now.

Dl. Zimbru Celeritate

dude sounds a lot like ben "my dad went to music school" shapiro tbh

Jo Sharpe

They worded that intelligently at least, by saying that it tends to, they've allowed for exceptions like this.

Andrew Finnerty

@sageinthetallhills iโ€™m pretty sure my professor who has a doctorate in Musicology and taught me 4 part counterpoint and college lvl music theory III understands looping as they also had a DAW production lab and course shortly after I graduated in 05... looped music also has the opportunity to โ€œgo somewhereโ€ but itโ€™s up to the artist to tastefully โ€œgo thereโ€ without totally losing the groove.

Andrew Finnerty

iโ€™m glad to have revisited this piece, it really is a stark criticism of the exact matters at hand using the motif of a โ€˜derelictโ€™ loop and the banality of lower societal values...and appropriately, just as it gets good itโ€™s cut shortโ€”hopefully in the bigger idea of the album the next track is some type of bigger statement using more melody and harmony to transcend the more basic human desires for something that delivers the soul on a spiritual quest which we all desire ...something past โ€œfcuk b!tvhes, make m0ney...โ€ type themes so commonly found in most popular music today.

Holy christ my entire body broke out into cold chills at that crescendo at the end.

crazylegs115

The drop is beyond anything else I've heard. Like it won't fall on it's own, and you need to psychologically dig it out before it falls and relieves the tension.

William Alarie

Yeah that was my exact reaction, actually.

Lincoln Paull

Singing at the end is absolutely angelicโ€ฆ gives me chills
