Powers That Be Lyrics

"The Lord as my witness, Lord as my witness, there's not! There's not a better MC than Rick motherf*ckin' Ross, Lord as my witness. And when a nigga says Lord as my witness a nigga tellin' the truth. You don't lie after you say Lord as my witness. Did you ever hear OJ say 'Lord as my witness?' No, he ain't go that far. Said 'I didn't do it' but he ain't never say 'Lord as my witness.'"

Uh, yeah
Uh, yeah
Uh, yeah

Went to war, beaker scores, they continue to fall
Corner stores, wait up, hold all these wonderful laws
So much violence in the streets, ask the powers that be
Kiss my daughter on the cheek and I'm strapped as we speak Dirty money get bloody, you still see the gun wounds
But what's funny are the ones that we put the guns to
f*ck 'em all, kill or be killed, it's still a thug rule
Back of class, high on grass, 'til I said "f*ck school!"
What's meant to be is meant to be, I rather you than me
Die with pride, forty shells on the murder scene
Rolls Royce leather stitching in the steering wheel
Ninth album, Ice Cube, nigga kill at will
Had to balance, Double M is the imperial
Niggas pay respect, they mail it in an envelope
f*cking centerfolds like I still be dealing dope
Probably would if you're talking like fifty or more
