[Hook: Krayzie Bone]
Stand not in our way, stand not in our way
Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh x4

[Krayzie Bone]
I'm tryin'to resist all this temptation that I've been facing lately
Constantly praying that I can make it and keep on shakin' Satan
It's drivin' me crazy cause he makin' the plate look oh so tasty
Then again, I'm knowin' that it's only Yahweh that can save me
Livin'in this world today It's really gettin harder to stay awakened
But I'm not tryin' to get caught too drowsy cause I know we're waitin
Just contemplatin' on my situation
Hopin' that my desperation eventually breaks my concentration
But I'm waitin' cause I'm aware that it's a snake in the grass
Can't wait for God to free us, we can scream it at last
Now oh my God, God, God! God of my God, God, God
(Now, oh my God, God, God...) Steady all day

[Hook x4]

[Layzie Bone]
As long as the Lord got my back
I won't be afraid of the evils around me when they surround me
I drop to my knees and I pray to the Lord proudly
Probably, these trials and tribulations in front of my face
Is a test so I be standin' firm in my faith
Stand not in my way, stand not in my way '
Cause I'm a soldier ready for Armageddon, prepared for my day
Make no mistake-stake-stake stake;
These bells above, they never break-break-break
You hear the alarm; We're headed for ruin
This world is so wicked;
Controlled by the superpowers, the Federal Government
They' wagin' these wars for this oil, actin' like they love it
We rise above it cause they can't deny the truth
And the truth is to the youth; Better strap on your boots

[Hook x4]

[Wish Bone]
Everyday's a replay; We always facin' evil people
Some have them wicked ways, some donate they lives
Just to make us not equal
And oh, my Lord I want to make it welcome in your home
But I must demand forgiveness cause I done did so wrong
I gotta make a stand in my way, whatever I gotta do
I'll do it; Lord, just show me the way
So I pray, yes for me, and all my peeps in here that don't believe
It's hard to seein' what we see, but you got to
Just let it begin and you will feel that faith inside you
Never alone, always right beside you
Every time something goes wrong
Who's the person you call to? Huh, huh? Huh, huh?

[Hook x4]

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is a hip-hop group from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in 1991 under the brief name, “Band Aid Boys.” Then they were B.O.N.E. Enterpri$e, consisting of Bizzy Bone, Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, and Wish Bone. Under this name, they released the 1993 album, Faces of Death. Then Flesh-N-Bone, Layzie’s brother, joined the group, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony was solidified.

Rapper Eazy-E of the group N.W.A signed Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to Ruthless Records in 1994. The group’s debut EP Creepin On Ah Come Up included two hits, “Thuggish Ruggish Bone” (#22) and “Foe Tha Love of $” (#41). In 1995, their full-length album E. 1999 Eternal followed featuring another top 40 hit “1st of Tha Month”. An updated version of “Crossroad” from the album, renamed as “Tha Crossroads”, became a Grammy-winning international smash hit, holding the #1 spot in the US for eight weeks and reaching the top 20 in eight countries overseas including the UK.

Over the next fifteen years, the group scored six more top 40 hits including the platinum-selling “I Tried” (featuring Akon), but it was a tumultuous time. Flesh-N-Bone served eight years in prison for assault. The group kicked Bizzy Bone out after a couple of years of issues, but took him back five years later. Krayzie Bone also quit for a few months. In 2010, Wish Bone told
