Seven - Hope For A Higher Power lyrics

[Intro, spoken by Jim Jones] “The world- The Kingdom suffers violence, and the violent shall take it by force. If we can't live in peace, then let's die in peace. (Applause.) We've been so betrayed. We have been so terribly betrayed So my opinion is that you be kind to children and be kind to seniors and take the potion like they used to take in ancient Greece and step over quietly because we are not committing suicide; it's a revolutionary act.” [Hook (2X)] (If there is a final hour Let's hope for a higher power) 1 by 1 and 2 by 2 I have ammo, what about you? [Verse 1] Grandma told me the good book said In the last days get ready for the ten plagues 1st, the rivers will be ran with red 2, 3, and 4, dead frogs will cause lice and flies Sick livestock is 5 the living they must fight for their lives 6, 7, and 8, a boil storms a fire and locusts 9 is darkness, so dark it's hard for you to focus And 10 is d**h of the firstborn If I said it was questionable the religions would make it a point To get at me and battle me, maybe have this verse torn How will this curse form? Well, Creationism and Darwinism been at it forever 'Bout at it I got nothin' but hurt for 'em Cause really nobody knows when you live Then you die where your body goes If it's Hell or it's Heaven 6 or the 7, well I'll keep the nina for all the foes in a gamble That's what life is and it's hard to handle When the bible says worship this but the scripture's written by man though So when man destroys us the word might not stand so Till that day I'm just gon' protect my fam with ammo [Hook (2X)] And at the height of their power (God) will send an angel to destroy them [Verse 2] I've been looking for something supernatural for a long time now But I never got proof that a spiritural realm existed, wanted to find how Everybody sure of a supreme being, are people just seeing things? Wondering if we get wings, seems sick to believe in an extreme king I know it sounds far fetched, every night I put knees on the carpet Then I pray to who's up with the star set Cause the Earth in its self is a target For destruction, for combustion Cause there ain't too many you can trust in Think of all the women losing their husbands In Iraq a lot of k**ing and suffering What I hope for, seemed folklore When the enemy k**s and gloat more Cause they k**in' us off in this hoax war Then I wake up yellin' and my throats sore Cause the fight's there, it's a nightmare If it come to me, I'm in my snipe wear If a bullet give my lung a slight tear I wanna believe that the light's there So all you Christians don't get mad at me I just hope your mystical magical miracles work in catastrophies And this ain't blasphemy, but artillery is my strategy I hope for a higher power when I look at all these tragedies [Hook (2X)] I will never follow the beliefs of man, why? Because man destroys everything in his path [Verse 3] Oh what a miracle, angels and demons But the only miracle is that people keep believin' Right hand on the bible, left hand on my rifle Keep that for my rivals and evil disciples Expand your mission, man to women When they attack do you plan to give in Or do you do like I do and say praise the lord and pa** the ammunition People like us, piece and knife up Cause we got evil to sweep and wipe up Devils and demons and humans, irrelevant So if they lookin deceiving I bust I hope that the higher power is watching over me Cause we young people don't see faith like most the older see If he or she is listenin' A mere sign can spark me But if the laws in the bible are bogus Then prepare for anarchy Worst case scenario is there never ever was a higher power So in the midst of chaos now The only real savior is fire power [Hook (2X)] [outro, spoken by Jim Jones] “I, with respect, die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Don't lay down with tears and agony. There's nothing to d**h. It's like Mac said, it's just stepping over to another plane. Don't be this way. Stop this hysterics.”
