Tekst piosenki
Let us pray, Heavenly Father
Hear a nigga down here
Before I go to sleep
Tell me, who do you believe in?..
Who do you believe in?..
I see mothers in black, cryin', brothers in packs dyin'
Plus everybody’s high, too doped up to ask why
Watchin' our own downfall, witness the end
It’s like we don’t believe in God ‘cause we livin' in sin
I asked my homie on the block why he strapped
He laughed, pointed his pistol as the cop car passed, and blast
It’s just another murder, nobody mourns no more
My tear drops gettin' bigger
But can’t figure what I’m cryin' for
Is it the miniature caskets, little babies?
Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy?
Maybe it’s just the drugs, visions of how the block was
Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us
Perhaps the underlyin' fact, stay high, explain genocide
It’s when we ride on our own kind
What is it we all fear?, reflections in the mirror
We can’t escape fate, the end is gettin' nearer
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Can’t close my eyes, ‘cause all I see is terror
I hate the man in the mirror
‘Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
Times of Armageddon, murder in mass amounts
In this society where only gettin' the cash counts
I started out as a beginner
Entered the criminal lifestyle, became a sinner
I make my money, and vacate, evade prison
Went from the chosen one to an outcast, unforgivin'
And all the Hennessy and weed can’t hide the pain I feel inside
You know, it’s like I’m livin' just to die
I fall on my knees and beg for mercy
Not knowin' if I’m worthy
Livin' life thinkin' no man can hurt me
So I’m askin', before I lay me down to sleep
Before you judge me
Look at all the shit you did to me; my misery
I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames
In my search for fame, will I change?
I’m askin'…
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic
‘Cause so far I done witnessed too many dead niggas in caskets
With they chest plates stretched, like elastic
And what’s worse I’m on front line
Holdin' down camp, still mashin'
Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block
Just came home October of '95, back in Yardsville stuck
With a three to five, if he don’t act up
Now he realize, if you don’t stay wise
Then in this game you fucked
Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard
One of the grimies is snitchin', dimin', a stool pigeon
I talked to him; he said he didn’t, my man said he did
In fact he’s sure, ‘cause he just came home off of bid
Now tell me, who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it’s hard
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah?
Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is it just yourself?
Definitely not to be imposed, being a demon
Because this is the joy of believin'
Man, to believe in yourselves
But for sure, the higher power
Resides only to ride in the heart of the true
From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi
In the poetry, or in it’s realm
That’s what pulls all words together
Just to understand that every man is his own man
And only man can satisfy the man
Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man
The for realness of the man
You can’t shake the man when you give the man
You know the man
And you gotta call yourself, because you are that man
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
(blessed and still breathin)
(even though it’s hard)
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
(before I’m leavin')
Even though it’s hard
(I'm askin' the grievin')
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Blessed and still breathin'
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
Even though it’s hard, that’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Put my faith in God
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Blessed and still breathin'
That’s who I believe in
Before I’m leavin', I’m askin' the grievin'
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in?
Tłumaczenie tekstu piosenki
Módlmy się, Ojcze Niebieski.
Hear a nigga down here
Zanim pójdę spać
Powiedz mi, w kogo wierzysz?..
W kogo wierzysz?..
I see mothers in black, cryin', brothers in packs diein'
Poza tym wszyscy są naćpani, zbyt naćpani, by zapytać dlaczego.
Watchin ' our own downfall, witness the end
To tak, jakbyśmy nie wierzyli w Boga, bo żyjemy w grzechu.
Zapytałem mojego ziomka, dlaczego ma broń.
Śmiał się, wycelował w pistolet, gdy przejeżdżał radiowóz i wybuchł.
To tylko kolejne morderstwo, nikt już nie płacze.
My tear drops gettin ' bigger
But can 't figure what I' m cryin ' for
Czy to miniaturowe trumny, małe dzieci?
Ofiary przybłędy, od szalonych dilerów?
Może to przez narkotyki, wizje tego, jak blok był
Crack przyszedł i to było dziwne jak to wstrząsnęło nami
/ Align = "left" /
To wtedy, gdy jedziemy na własną rękę.
Czego się wszyscy obawiamy?, reflections in the mirror
Nie uciekniemy przed przeznaczeniem, koniec jest coraz bliżej
W kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it ' s hard
"That' s who I believe in"
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
W kogo wierzysz?
W kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it ' s hard
"That' s who I believe in"
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
W kogo wierzysz?
Can 't close my eyes,' cause all I see is terror
I hate the man in the mirror
'Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
Czasy Armagedonu, masowe morderstwa
W tym społeczeństwie, gdzie liczy się tylko gotówka
Zaczynałem jako początkujący
Wszedł w przestępczy tryb życia, stał się grzesznikiem
Zarabiam pieniądze, uciekam, unikam więzienia.
Z wybrańca stałem się wyrzutkiem, niewybaczalnym.
And all the Hennessy and weed can ' t hide the pain I feel inside
Wiesz, to tak jakbym żył tylko po to, by umrzeć
Padam na kolana i błagam o litość.
Not knowin 'if I' m worthy
Livin 'life thinkin' no man can hurt me
So I 'm askin', before I lay me down to sleep
Zanim mnie osądzisz
Spójrz na to, co mi zrobiłeś, moje nieszczęście.
I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames
Czy w poszukiwaniu sławy się zmienię?
I'm askin'…
W kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it ' s hard
"That' s who I believe in"
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
W kogo wierzysz?
W kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it ' s hard
"That' s who I believe in"
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
W kogo wierzysz?
Wiara w Allaha, uwierz we mnie i ten plastik
'Cause so far I done without too many dead niggas in truckets
Z nimi płyty klatki piersiowej rozciągnięte, jak elastyczne
A co gorsza, jestem na pierwszej linii.
Holdin 'down camp, still mashin'
Słyszałem mojego kuzyna, jednego ze starych głów z bloku.
Wrócił do domu w październiku ' 95, z powrotem w yardsville utknął
Trzy do pięciu, jeśli się nie zagra.
Teraz zdaje sobie sprawę, że jeśli nie pozostaniesz mądry
Wtedy w tej grze pieprzyłeś
Porozmawiaj z moją córeczką, powiedz mi, co usłyszała.
Jeden z grimów to kapuś, kapuś, kapuś.
Rozmawiałem z nim, powiedział, że nie, mój człowiek powiedział, że tak.
W zasadzie jest pewien, bo właśnie wrócił do domu z licytacji.
A teraz powiedz mi, w kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it ' s hard
"That' s who I believe in"
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
W kogo wierzysz?
W kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
And even though it ' s hard
"That' s who I believe in"
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.

Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
W kogo wierzysz?
W kogo wierzysz?
Budda, Jehowa, czy Jah? Albo Allaha?
Czy to Jezus? Czy to Bóg? Czy tylko Ty?
Na pewno nie do narzucania się, bycie demonem
Bo to jest radość z wiary
Człowieku, wierzyć w siebie
Ale na pewno, wyższa siła

Z duszy, człowieka; bo prawda nigdy nie ma alibi
In the poetry, or in it ' s realm
To właśnie łączy wszystkie słowa.
Po prostu zrozumieć, że każdy człowiek jest swoim własnym człowiekiem.
I tylko człowiek może zaspokoić człowieka
Tylko dusza człowieka, uczucia człowieka
The for realness of the man
You can ' t shake the man when you give the man
Znasz go.
I musisz zadzwonić do siebie, bo jesteś tym człowiekiem.
W kogo wierzysz?
I put my faith in God
Blessed and still breathin'
(blessed and still breathin)
(even though it ' s hard)
W kogo wierzysz?

(before I'm leavin')
Nawet jeśli to trudne
(I 'm askin'the grievin')
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.

Blessed and still breathin'
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.

Nawet jeśli jest ciężko, to w niego wierzę.
Zanim odejdę, zapytam o żal.
