[Intro]
Is it true what the good book say
Concerning the Judgement Day?
If I don't kneel down and pray
Will I be a sinner for—

[Hook: 50 Cent]
Yeah, homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate, and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow, I'm good
Shit, I done talked my way up out the hood

[Verse 1: 50 Cent]
Now if you followed my footsteps and walked through my shoes
You wouldn't go against me cause you know you would lose
It's been a long time coming, I done paid my dues
Now everytime I turn around, it's like I'm back in the news
I know a lotta niggas want me wearing cement shoes
And Uncle Tom niggas wanna see me locked up too
Around the same time KRS was writing "Black Cop"
I was busy tryna pump cracks in the back blocks
Popping shit to my homies 'bout how my gat pop
Got rid of that chrome thing and got a black Glock
P-90 hold ten but I had six shots
I used to walk around wit' it and risk gettin' knocked
I bought a fresh box of bullets from Old Man Sam
Wanted to shoot a nigga so bad, it was itching my hand
Some shot it out with me, and some of 'em ran
And some of the gats worked good and some of 'em jammed

[Hook: 50 Cent]
Homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow, I'm good
Shit, I done talk my way up out the hood
Homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow I'm good
Shit, I done talk my way up out the hood

[Verse 2: Havoc]
Now if you take a good look and look into my face
A nigga wouldn't even dare to violate my space
Son I did so much dirt, I'm tryna clean my slate
And ate so many niggas food and now they want mines ate
The dogs bark when I walk and sense the souls I took
Moms pray for me with her right hand on the good book
Saw shots fly by me, know I should've been dripping
The pulp fiction musta been God's divine intervention
Wouldn't thought then from that, I've learned my lesson
And clean my act up and go straight to confession
Uncle La got knocked, the Feds hit him with seven
And left me with the 50 cal. and a MAC-11
Stuck everything from everything, from heads to the workers
And had half the hood damn near wanting to murk us
Found myself asking God, "What the fuck is my purpose?"
You go to heaven, know I'm foul but put a good word in

[Hook: 50 Cent]
Homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow, I'm good
Shit, I done talk my way up out the hood
Homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow I'm good
Shit, I done talk my way up out the hood

[Verse 3: Prodigy]
Now homie if I go to hell and you make it to the pearly gates
Tell (the boss man) we got beef
And tell (his only son) I'ma see him when I see him
And when I see him, I'ma (beat him like the movie)
For leaving us out to dry in straight poverty
For not showing me no signs they watching over me
Look, we a new breed in 2006
We don't give a fuck about that (religious bullshit)
Nigga show me where the cash at
The nice whips with the three car garage to fit them shits
Man my life is painful, you pray to angels
I'm praying to myself hoping I ain't got to spank you
My bullets'll shank you
And when my guns start cutting, ain't nobody gon' save you
In the Bible times, they ain't had to deal
With the shit we dealing with, these survival times

[Hook: 50 Cent]
Homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow, I'm good
Shit, I done talk my way up out the hood
Homie if I go to hell and you make it to heaven
Just get me to the gate and I'll talk my way in
Got a gift, I'm special with the flow I'm good
Shit, I done talk my way up out the hood

Mobb Deep

Mobb Deep members Havoc and Prodigy represent the Queensbridge projects in the borough of Queens, New York. Their style is very dark, but Havoc’s sinister productions along with sharp lyricism from Prodigy on their sophomore album The Infamous and its first single “Shook Ones Pt. II” put the Mobb on the map and helped bring hardcore New York hip-hop back into the forefront while also influencing the hip-hop scene in France. Their two follow-up albums, Hell on Earth (1996) and Murda Muzik (1999) helped further solidify their status in the rap game as they received gold and platinum plaques.

The two released a number of projects as a duo as well as solo projects, and both of them released their own collaborative projects with their frequent collaborator The Alchemist.

Sadly, Prodigy passed away on June 20, 2017, in Las Vegas after being hospitalized during the Art of Rap Tour. May he rest in peace. See here for the Mass Appeal obituary.
