Ice Cube - "It Was A Good Day"

(DID NOT EDIT/CHECK FOR MISTAKES IN VERSES):

Hallelujah when I do ya

Verse One:

Shit, I ain't never seen an angel, virgin bitches with halos
But my secular metaphysical theology is fatal
Because me with a mic cable is a religious experience in itself
I got a message from God
He said, "Don't even try to fuck with me," suckered reluctantly
Carried the cross and uppercuts at Nazareth, I'm hazardous
I speak to the heads and raise the dead like Lazarus
Led the fucking lambs to the slaughter, and walked on water
When it's frozen, in a crown of thorns, I'm on point
like the unicorn in cuneiform, to bring rains
to Desert Storm for 40 days and 39 nights
So my cerebral flows flood the Earth with a, megahertz
And the first shall be last and the last shall be first
Reciting a biblical verse before I make your melon burst
Like that nigga Jules from Pulp Fiction
My salvation is salivation, and diction crucifixion
"It's a blessing just to live another day," they say
Because the Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away
So my niggaz pray five times a day and still
carry a trey-five-seven (On Earth, As It Is In Heaven)

Chorus:

(On the planet) Earth, it was my place of birth
Born to be the sole controller, of the universe
Drinking with the Lord and shoot dice with Christ
Hitting seven, On Earth, As It Is In Heaven

Verse Two:

Feeling like a prophet, cause I be talking to a burning bush
But I'm not knowing till I fornicated with the hoe and
caught the claps so, my first communion consists of
bread and wine and Doxycycline in one-hundred milligram capsules (Amen!)
Let the commandments begin again
Cause just like Moses on Mount Sinai, I broke all Ten
For the believing, in the evening, when I covet my neighbor's wife
I do dirt and get works to reap life, victimize
and give us this day to make our daily bread
Cause if I'm broke, I'm serving cavvy in Bethlehem
Or selling my soul to Satan, six-figure record deal
contagions, my religious denomination is B.C.-notes
I be the coming like when Mary's water broke
So let there be light, so niggaz can see I rock mics religiously
Those who believe ye shall receive
But non-believers, you niggaz doubt my existence like agnostics
The hostile gospel, I apostle, with epistles from speaking in tongues,
but God so loved the world and gave his only begotten Son
to set it on niggaz, blowing backwards bastards to Kingdom Come
And knowing the Judas in my crew
So do unto others before they do unto you
Like Rastas heads be dreadin
Phoenetic armageddeon (On Earth, As It Is In Heaven)

Chorus
Scratched: MC Lyte rapping "Killing everybody in sight"

Verse Three:

I hit the planet like a plague
The Book of Revelations, red dragon with ten horns and seven heads
and seven crowns skills concealed until the Seventh Seal revealed
to fulfill prophecy
From B.C. to AC/DC radio receivers
The messiah comes back igniting the fever in the rap world ends
(The here-after) The three headed raptor, is after
You hear the HemisFear trinity raps rap to your Babylonian environment
Cause thou shalt not worship false idols
Just like David guillotined Philistines, even God is homicidal
Fucking these kids like Catholic priests after mass
Pubic hair of lamb's wool, and feet of burned brass
That I can put up in your platinum ass son
Instead I arrive the Golden Child, every knee shall bow
when the divine styler is speaking in parables
Like old baptist churches I'm getting old bitches hysterical
HALLELUJAH! Praise be to my medullah oblongotta
not another nigga hotter, believe that Meshach
The hip-hop martyr who sacrificed and gave my life
But got 4Pac, so now I'm livin' a Thug Life in the afterlife
Then I be walking through the pearly gates
with an infrared scope ten millimeter heater (Why?)
Cuz if my name ain't in the Book of Life I'm snuffing St. Peter
Drinking the blood of Jesus Christ and pissing holy water
no QUESTION who can come cleaner
M-P-C plus M-I-C equals holy B-I-B-L-E to me
Matrimony is getting head but I refuse to break bread
with Jezebels, my management already gets 20 percent
so fuck tieing, go to Hell?
I'd rather continue backsliding
You're not from the tribe of Judah, so why you lying?
Come watch the Zion, I'm signifying
the next shit to wreck shit and seek the Exodus, Amen

bingo!!!

now i'ma go listen to it. if Ras made an album of songs like Miami Life, it woulda been 'Illmatic' like.

how to start a classic verse:

"I'm launchin rockets and scuds at Crockett and Tubbs"

and "On Earth As It Is In Heaven" is fucking :nut:

also Del: Catch A Bad One

Roy Johnson · Post by **Roy Johnson** » Thu May 07, 2009 3:04 pm

God damn it, "Clan In Da Front" & "Time's Up" only got two verses.

:nut:

"Halftime" is a good cut-off point. There are too many pre-92 tracks to mention from Chuck D, Rakim, Krs-One, etc.

Kool Keith had a couple Ultramagnetic tracks that would qualify:

Kool Keith Housing Things
Poppa Large

He'd usually only get two verses, unfortunately.

I'm trying to come up with shit off the top of my head based on my top 15 MCs list: Rakim, Krs-One, Chuck D, Run, Kool Keith, Slick Rick, The Genius, Posdnuos, Pharoah Monche, Kool G Rap, Big Daddy Kane, Ras Kass, O.C., Jeru The Damaja, Sadat X, and Aceyalone. Shit is unusually hard if we're talking about post-92 tracks, though.

'Lyrics Of Fury' comes to mind....Rakim destroys all three verses...

blueprint · Post by **blueprint** » Thu May 07, 2009 5:55 pm

Eric B & Rakim "Check out my melody" gets my vote, but i think it's actually got 4 verses if i remember correctly.

If "men & work" by Kool G. Rap and Polo has 3 verses then its up there.

word. plus i don't think anyone in the history of rap has so metaphorically expressed the tribulations of catching an STD:

Good call. He destroys all verses. His flow was rediculous.

Also, I've been bumping "On Earth as it is" all the time past few days, it's a great great track, don't know if all three verses could be considered classic though.

Also, early Chuck D comes to mind.
