Young P Ft Formula-Eyes Open To Believe

[Formula]
Pearly Gates, To Escape the Worldly Hate, I Pretend to Hate
What Fate Will Bring Upon Me, Used to look up to the sky
And Say Oh Great, I gotta wait and that's where I go when I die?
Didn't have the understanding of the man's plans, no Manuscript
Walked around with Mami, Boys sayin 'Man-You-Whipped'
Then She Died, Dad said He never seen thug cry like I did that night
So in Spite, I cursed him for the hurt, Why He Have to take her life?
I only see reality through tragedy now, realize to my surprise the normailty
No longer does Death Adle-Me, I Praise Daily now actually
Cause I finally know what the deal is, my conscience understands
That there's a higher man, Not-Shit I can do but anticipate
My Six Foot Depature into the Dark, I'm Comin To See You Kate...

If Heavens All Dat Its Cracked Up To Be, Den Why Were We Given Dis Life...
Night Life, Lies, Bad Choices Leave You Livin Wit Strife...
And Though I Fear God, At The Same Time, I Feel Like We Homies...
Cuz Ever Since 9-11 I Been Prayin, I'll Be Goin To Heaven, But Only...
If I, Follow Da Right Path, So Which One Do I Take...
Is It My Decision Or Fates To Make...
Will I Travel To Da Next Life Or Am I Hellbound For Heavens Sake...
And As I Grow Olda, Da Will To Go On Gets Less And Less Bolda... Holdin Dat Nine Ta My Head, Ask For One Thing... Tell Me When Its Ova...

Never bible thumped, dumped the man's words into my mental bin
But when I lost that sentimental friend, I was back to the instrumental gift
Then I thought to myself, how could I have all this talent?
God countered and said I blessed you, So It Ain't No Challenge
Now I manage to write up a song with no stress in 20 ticks or less
Them 20 pricks with tummy tits, Talkin about the way a dress
Rednecks, said I'm white and should rebel against the Culture
God showed me the right, no fight, I let the words drift over my shoulder
Rip harder when nights are colder, I grow older and still feel upliftment
Words have shifted, from no meaning to meaning something, I'm Gifted
Name a beat I ripped it, all because of him, they feel the shit I speak
So I continue to reach, breach barriers and dwindle the beefs...

Had Da Mind Of A Killa And Da Thoughts Of A Psycho...
Whether It Was RC Or Tyco, I'd Blast Like On Nitro...
Put Up Mad Fights Yo, But Now I Look In Da Past...
I Wasn't Myself, More Like A Man With A Mask...
But Gods Shown Me Da Way, Made Me Believe...
Got All Eyes Open And I Like What I See...
Gods Shed His Grace On Me, A Blessing In A Curse...
Now My Soul Can Finally Be In Heaven Though My Body In Da Hearse...
I Follow Da Scriptures Every Day, A Godly Follower In Every Way…
I'm God's Thirteenth Disciple, No Need For Fighting Or Pay...
Douse My Body Wit Holy Water Every Day, When Last Month, I Couldn't Stay Sober...
But It's Aight Now, Got My Eyes Open... Da Struggle Is Finally Over...
