Lil' Kim Heavenly Father (Feat. "Big Hill") Lyrics

[INTRO]
Heavenly father... Creator of all things
I humble myself... As I bow to the throne
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness

[REPEAT 2x]
I pray for love... I pray for love...
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness

[VERSE 1]
They say the closest ones to ya
Be the ones that sneak up behind ya and stick the knife through ya
That's why now I keep my friends to a minimum
Check for the ones wit the venom on they tongue
'Cuz n____s is snakes, they hugs be fake
Steal from they best friend at his own wake
I did all I can do and I took all I can take
This is it, crossin' me was ya biggest mistake
And was it enough that I split 20% of what I make?
Was it enough that I cut n____s half of what I bake?
Ain't enough that I almost lost all my bread
Bailin n____s out, keepin' a roof over our head
Enough is enough I wash my hands I'm done wit it
I ain't playin wit u m_________ers come wit it
Keep the fam together God knows I tried
But s___ ain't been the same since B.I. died

[CHORUS 1]
(I pray for love... I pray for love...
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness)
Every day... every night
Keep the fam together God knows I tried
(I pray for love... I pray for love...
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness)
Every day... and every night
s___ ain't been the same since B.I died

[VERSE 2]
Lil' Kim the first rap b____ to shake up the charts
Act like I ain't the leader of this Million b____ March
Who got y'all rockin' the Prada
The Gucci, Dior, Chanel, Versace and Louis
Please, I'm the reason this rap game is unisex
I'm the reason b____es want bigger b______
Show some respect where respect is due
(Without who?) Without me there'd be no you
These next few lines it to you women abusers
Last n____ I was wit... straight f___in' loser
n____s think 'cuz you give 'em ya heart
They can... dissect it and rip it apart
Mm-mm, not I, one n____'s in my eye
Payback's a m_________er, put that on the Stuy
You lost a good b____ n____ you can't front
Lil' Kim is EVERYthing a man could EVER want
And that's real

[CHORUS 2]
(I pray for love... I pray for love...
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness)
Every day... and every night
Mm-mm, not I, one n____'s in my eye
(I pray for love... I pray for love...
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness)
Every day, yo... every night
Payback's a m_________er, put that on the Stuy

[VERSE 3]
When the... money is gone (So is ya friends)
When the... gas runs out (there goes ya Benz)
They just don't make my breed no more
Nobody lives by the code of the street no more
I don't deal wit the nonsense, I'm keepin' it real
Wanna do business wit me? Get in touch wit Hill

["Big Hill"]
That's right any questions? No you can't ask me
Put ya name and ya number on a letterhead and fax me
U want Kim? Name the location
75 grand and that's just for conversation

[Lil' Kim]
I'ma remain loyal while y'all crumble like the foil
It's tradition to rock diamonds in my crown, I'm royal
n____s ain't believe in me, they thought it was over
Baby girl risin' up like the early mornin' sun
Y'all think y'all know but y'all have no idea
What the f___ I been goin' through these last 7 years

[CHORUS 3]
(I pray for love... I pray for love...
I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness)
Every day, yo... and every night
They just don't make my breed no more
Word, that's it... (I pray for love... )(Every day, yo)
(I pray for love) I'm the last of the Mohicans...
(and every night) after me
there will be none... (I pray for love...)
(I pray for love, joy, peace and happiness)... and every night
Nobody lives by the code of the street no more

[Lil' Kim talking]
I'm sayin... I just wanna be happy, that's all I don't ask for much
It makes me happy to see my people smile you know what I'm sayin
I ain't a hater, I don't even like sayin' the word
(Nobody lives by the code of the street no more)
I'd sacrifice everything I got right now to have my man Biggie here wit me
You see that's just how I am
'Cuz I'm a rider (Keep the fam together god knows I tried)
What good is it to have everything
if you can't share it with the one you love?
If you can't be wit the ones you love... then love the ones you wit
Don't take nobody for granted
You ain't promised tomorrow
Karma's a m_________er
I'm appreciative (Payback's a m_________er, put that on the Stuy)
La Bella Mafia 2003... Suga Shaft, the Beehive... We comin'...
