Artist: Shabazz the Disciple Album: The Passion of the Hood Christ Song: Marion Typed by: Cno Evil [Intro: Shabazz the Disciple] Lord, you told me that if I walk with you from the beginning You'll be with me the whole time But I noticed that all my words crossed in my way There was only one pair of footprints in the sand I don't understand, when I most needed you Why you left me alone, may the Lord answer me My precious son, I always loved you And I will never leave you alone, in your times of suffering And you saw in the sand only one pair of footprints There was then, that I held you in my arms Lord, why Marion? I wish I had the power, walk through the gate of a cemetary And say "Rise", everybody rise, cuz Shabazz said rise For right now, all I can do is pray and ask why My little sister was only fourteen years old Her life was stole, God bless her soul Marion... [Shabazz the Disciple] Yo, inside myself, I'm suffering, I'm feeling all alone It's like I'm stranded in the dark, ready to journey home Spirit exhausted from the holy wars of man and God In danger, dissolve the physical form to fight a holy ghost Too many thoughts crowded my mind striving for total bliss Angel of death, riding my trail, blowing that deadly kiss I reminisce words, echo in my brain like I'm insane Nah, nah, she ain't dead, eternal migrane Every time I look at your picture, now I get swollen eyes Trying to survive in this cold world, so many stolen lies I see her smiling in the clouds, when I gaze at the skies I see us both laughing in heaven everytime I close my eyes Three in the morning, on my bed, one in the fucking pipe Shit pressed against my head, ready to take my fucking life Sweating and breathing fast, I gotta even fast Thinking about the jewel Bumpy told me, to let sick seasons past Life last before our eyes, while the tears were pouring Soon as that bullet pierced your flesh, my mother heard you calling She jumped up, out of our sleep, felt your energy Thinking to herself, what was the message, God was sending me [Chorus 2X: Shabazz the Disciple] Lord, please tell me why, did she have to pass away Why did she have to pass away, at such an early age [Shabazz the Disciple] Praying at night for forgiveness, prophetic sin Help me lord, my sister's soul has to be avenged I contemplate revenge, congregate with my men I wanna let the barrel spin, but please don't let me die in sin My salvation is watching children, keeping seeing visions Flashing, my little sister collapsing in that fucking building Why is the story of my life so full of cloudy days Why did I have to see so much at such an early age Why did they have to send my sister to an early grave We never know when it's our day, all we can do is pray She always said she want to be with her mommy and daddy Maybe she ain't suffering no more, and she's eternally happy My little sister was only fourteen years old Her innocent life was stole, God bless her soul We pray to understand and see the footprints in the sand As the lord carry his child to the promised land [Chorus 2X] [Shabazz the Disciple] When I return, sprinkle my ashes on the ocean Let my spirit be free, my seeds'll relive my emotions Celebrate the good days we had in life, all the joking I don't wanna see nobody crying, just Thug Passion glasses toasting Remember walking down the corridor in King's County I was young, going to identify Bumpy's body They found him slain in the alley, body discomposed So at the funeral, his casket was closed I tried to pull Rah out his coffin while they were closing it With tears in my eyes, I held his right hand and put a rose in it My world was spinning fast, it's like the walls were closing in Standing right before him, catching the children, hail and frozen wind I couldn't eat for a week, I got skinny and weak Digging inside the salvation, cuz I ain't wanna speak My temperature read 106 but I was frostbitten Laying on my deathbed like Christ lay on the cross, smitten Almost collapsed in the studio when I first heard I'm in Brazil, and Bless told me Marion was murdered Her angel of death shot a man in his dead From in the hallway, she tried to run from shots in the doorway A bullet pierced her back, caused her spirit to leave Her flesh, and now her breath is combined as one with my breath I'm breathing for you, praying your soul into the pearly gate Why did she have to leave this earth at such an early date Wished I posessed the power to blow the breath of life back into her nostrils Give her another chance in the hospital It's like I see you crying, while I'm staring at your picture We all love you and we gon' miss you, heed the little twitcher [Chorus 2X] [Outro: Shabazz the Disciple] Word, and now she speaking through me I know she wanna thank you mommy and Larry For all ya'll done for, all the guidance Putting up with her shit, cuz she it's not what she do Word up, must hold on, Star, Cry, word up Sha-Sha, we love you Marion
