God is still with me (He's still with me)

It's hot like Haiti down in Hades
The false prophet say the Lord
Has forsaken us black babies
To make it off a island in Mercedes
We going sell it white
As Michelangelo's Christ
Babies need rice, the baby need beans
To feed our babies beans we might
Have to flip a bean
I have sold my people dope
Yet provided them with hope
Sinner and saint, yeah, I did 'em both
Yea I sold a brick on a basketball court
And bought the uniforms for
The basketball coach
Can't wash a way the blood so
I put rings on my fingers
25 carats symbolize my redeemer
And my redeemer's blood is capable
Of taking Chris Dudus
Making him a savior of others
My God will take a Sual, fashion him a Pual
So only God can judge me and
To hell with all y'all

I lift my eyes upon the hills
From whence cometh my health
Only God can judge me and nobody else
I beat these streets to make the Devil a lie
Marching at hell to the gangster's eye
I can feel the fire still everywhere
If heaven got a ghetto I'm a make it there

The critics ask why Michael never blowed
Well, truthfully I met the
Devil at the crossroad
He offered me success in exchange for my soul
He stripped me of my riches
Broke me down like Job first he took my car
And then he took my house
But he couldn't take the Lord's
Name out a nigga mouth
So then he took my friends
And then he took my fame
And then he had my former
Friends dirty up my name
And while he was lying
Lion I was Daniel in the den
Walking with an angel, a testament to men
I can walk on water, I defy the odds
The Devil give you fame
But he can't defy my God
My God is amazing, I don't need the Masons
I just need the junkies and
The liars and the theives i need the pimps
Prostitues and pushers out the streets
That's where I'm seeking God cuz
That's where he found me
That's where I'm seeking God cuz
That's where he found me amen

They tried to tell me "Don't
Make these kind of records
You're never going to be who
You're suppossed to be"
The record that people are
Most connected to is (God in the Building 1)
So I give you (God in the Building 2)
I'm a keep doing what I am doing
I'm a keep building my testament
My empire, my legacy, my way
Because I know God moves through me
God is in me at all given times
So some of you all can shortcut
Take whatever road you like to
I prefer the high road (high road)
