Lord Above

EMINEM

9

[Intro: Dre]

Yeah

[Verse 1: Dre]

We cop new timepieces when these fools deny Jesus

Hate is a sin, dog, be real

I got my hand on the pump, you on Twitter in your feels

Throwin' subs, arguin’ with chicks

I pray for these niggas, same hands that I hustle with

Passin' the offering plates, I'm the preacher in foreign whips

Sermons and politics, miracles come with each and every flip

That dinero from zero, so heaven-sent

Immaculate, blessings from Mary, I reminisce

On days we was broke, all we had was some common sense

Last night, I had a nightmare I was at the stove

I woke up in Paris cookin’ up for Hov

That's why I thank the Lord for givin' me this life

And even when I'm gone the music keepin' us alive

Yeah, it's called forever-ever

Ever-ever, ever-ever, family ties

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, oh

I'm so grateful, all I need is love

To the Lord above

[Verse 2: Fat Joe]

G6 globals, who'da thunk it, from the projects

Eight balls, some poppy, went and dunked it in the Pyrex

Mischievous thoughts, foreseein’ the sauce

Told Montana in the G, chicky poo in the Porsche, uh

The Frank Sinatra of the Spanish mobsters

We the Jimmy’s Cafe, ain't no need for operas

Had the fiends scream, "Hallelujah," fuck the prosecutor

Gave my nigga fifty years and he was not the shooter

When they see us, solitar’ confinement

Dig deep in your mind, no pressure, no diamonds

So we live a life, drop a hundred at the furrier

My chick's from San Fran', but stay out my bae area

You salute the cross, or you rebuke the cross

Either way you meet the Lord when you get moved across

Death knockin' at your door got you squeezin’ handle

And you ain't seen God 'til you starin' down a barrel

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

And I've been good, oh

All I need is love

To the Lord above

[Verse 3: Eminem]

I'm sittin' here reminiscin', think I just got a light bulb (Yeah)

Somethin' I'd like to mention, this is just on a side note

Word to the Terror Squad, Joe, this is all puns aside though

I know me and Mariah didn't end on a high note (Yeah)

But that other dude's whipped, that pussy got him neutered

Tried to tell him this chick's a nutjob 'fore he got his jewels clipped

Almost got my caboose kicked?

Fool, quit, you not gon' do shit

I'd let her chop my balls off too 'fore I lost to you, Nick (Haha)

I should quit watchin' news clips, yeah

My balls are too big, I should be talkin' pool 'cause I got scratch

So my pockets full when I'm takin' shots at you, fuck it, let me chalk the cue stick (Haha)

I'm over the top like Cool Whip

And I promise you the day I fall off or lose it, I will stop and cut off the music

Opportunist, wanna kill shit every chance that I got to do this

Stackin' my guap (Yeah), savage, I'm not to fool with

Like a handgun, you could say I'm like a gat when it's cocked

I keep it a (Buck, buck), your ass'll get shot

If rap was an actual Glock, you'd act like you strapped when you're not

Only cap that you pop is the top on the can of your pop

You the man 'til I pop your top, you ain't jack in a box

And I ain't talkin' a hamburger spot

Cracker with the barrel, armed to the teeth, Anderson .Paak (Yeah)

Rest in peace to Afeni and her son Pac

You sent me that plaque with his rhyme sheet, I haven't forgot (Nah)

Blow thirty million in a month, call it Brewster's Millions (Yeah)

Just hope I don't lose the feelin' (Yeah), from soldier to civilian

Got everything I need, but I don't even see myself in the future chillin'

Only thing I don't have in the booth's a ceiling, just call me The Roofless Villain (Haha)

They're tellin' me sky's the limit, so I got my head in the clouds (Yeah)

Unicorn in human form, saw a gift horse, looked him dead in the mouth

And Lord, good lookin' out for sendin' me Edna and Charles

Whenever Mom kicked me out of the house, they were the bomb, then you sent me LL

All the times that I hated myself (I guess), since eleven or twelve

Only way that I knew how to better myself is when I'm bet against by everyone else

So Joe hit the head on the nail, you ain't seen God 'til you starin' down a barrel

I was gunshy, but now like a snail, the slug's comin' out of its shell

Hahaha

[Outro: Mary J. Blige]

Oh, there's no hate in this world

That can make me give up

That can keep me stuck

Lord, I thank you (Lord, I thank you)

I thank you, I'm so grateful, so thankful, so thankful (So thankful)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, mm

I thank the Lord above

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, woo
