I Love To Give You Light (intro) Lyrics - Snoop Dogg

Say man ay ushers, deacons, lock the do' 

(I love, to give you light) 

Geah, first of all 

Givin honor to God, and all the ministers on the pulpits 

Ushers, deacons, and my lovely choir 

They sound so beautiful, don't you agree? 

Sing it sister. 

Yeah, we'd like to welcome y'all inside this R&G 

Rhythm & Gangsta: The Masterpiece 

Such a, heavenly experience 

Alchemist, break it down for me nephew 

Let me preach to 'em one time, chuuch

NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

In the beginning as a child I was chosen 

Though not knowin the reason while still my eyes opened 

Whatever the purpose, I surfaced above the fog 

Love was given to all, outside livin the ball 

As an adolescent, one black child, I had a message 

to reach teachin the masses, I wrote my first passage 

It was jotted down, created in the form of a rap 

I'm young, livin in the city of jackers and gangbangin 

and dope dealin, cold feelin to be a product of niggaz around you 

Once you get on top they down you 

But the temptation got me, streets caught me watchin 

I found myself grindin on the streets quite often 

With a blue rag, bangin the dub, fo'-fifth coffin 

At the spot, 61st, 40 blocks from the Eastside 

Where most of the big homies had a glock and flossed the G-ride 

Niggaz throwin up hands but it wasn't no peace signs 

Never fo' a second did I think to let my light shine 

Hardheaded, thought I was grown, messin up 

Disrespectin my home, not carin 'bout what moms what sayin 

And then I found out that mom wasn't playin 

Today, I love you for it, back then, I couldn't understand 

Get my life right, step it up, nigga be a man 

Never be a victim, of what the system might hit you with 

Through the stripes still gotta shine my light 

I've grown, to comprehend the game; my name is Big Snoop Boss Dogg 

Just a block and a phone call away 

I've reached the status, of a modern day John Baptist 

I'm preachin just what I practice 

To each and all, I got a word from the Beach to acros the globe 

Man woman young and old 

Don't gain the world, lose your soul to spite 

Many circumstances Doggy gon' shine my light cause I love you 

Photos 

(I love, to give you light) 

And the people that is locked up, locked down 

And the people that's locked down 

Also God, should purchase the new, Escalade 

On 24's, with the spinnin thangs, ha ha 

I need you to, right now, look at your neighbors 

Cause a lot of y'all think y'all goin to heaven huh 

And you ain't gon' go! 

So I need you right now to, look at your neighbor 

and say neighbor, say neigh-bor, You ain't going! 

You ain't going!
