HipHop Lyrics (Yes they aren't all negative)

I love HipHop, my mom doesn't, but i think if she could understand some of the lyrics she would learn to love it..here is a religious song by "DMX - Ready to meet him"

We each walk the path, that you've chosen
Yes..

Chorus: DMX

I'm ready to meet him cause where I'm livin ain't right
Black hate white, white hate black, it's right back to the same fight
They got us suspectin a war
But the real war is to follow the law of the lord

[DMX]
Lord, you left me stranded, and I don't know why
Told me to live my life, now I'm ready to die
Ready to fly, I cry, but I shed no tears
You told me you would dead those fears, it's been years
Snakes still comin at me - just missin
Sometimes I think all you do with me is just listen
I thought that I was special - that's what you told me
Homey - stop actin like you don't know me
What'd I do so bad that it sent you away from me?
Not only sent you away, but made you stay away from me?
(My child I'm here, as I've always been
It is you who went away and now are back again
What did I say?) Follow your word, and be true
(What did you do?) Well, what I wanted to do
(What have you seen?) Darkness and hell at a glance
(What do you want?) All I want is another chance

Chorus 2X

[DMX]
(Just because you went away, my doors are not locked
Wanna come back home? All you gotta do is knock)
You see I left home a boy, but returned as a man
Full grown, and I'm still not able to stand
(I gave you a hand) Well, but I was lookin the wrong way
Figured out the plan, then I started to pray
And that prayer, took me from here - over there
- back to over here, now it got me like where
- do I belong, do I fit in?
Things on my mind, where do I begin?
It's easier to sin, but it hurts my heart
I'm really tryin to win, so where do we start?
(Thou shalt not steal) But what if he stole from me?
(Thou shalt not kill) But what if he's tryin to kill me?
(Thou shalt not, take my, name in vain
No matter how hard it rains, withstand the pain)

Chorus 2X

[DMX]
I'm ready to meet him -- our father, who art in heaven
I'm not ashamed to ask for guidance at twenty-seven
No longer afraid to knock on your door
Not scared anymore to lose my life in the war
After what I just saw, I'm ridin with the Lord
Cause I really can't afford to lose my head by the sword
And now that I've seen, what I need to see
Please take me, where I - need to be
(What have you learned?) It's better to tell the truth than to lie
(What have you learned?) To love my life until I die
(What have you learned?) Violence isn't always the key
(What have you learned?) You can't always believe what you see
(What have you learned?) It's better to forgive and forget
(What have you learned?) Give as you expect to get
(What have you learned?) That I can't go on without you
(What have you learned?) I musta been a fool to ever doubt you!

[KRS-One]
Y'all don't know? Y'all don't know your body is a temple?
A temple to the living God? Don't get gassed y'all
All my sisters out there, here's the truth
You, a you've got to.. {TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME}
Look, look!

You don't want no unsteady relationships, you want it tight
You don't want no man beggin and always gonna get, am I right?
You don't want no man sleepin cheatin freakin behind his wife
There's no such thing as make love, it's really make life
I don't care what nobody say; you sleep with a man, that's your husband
So make sure, before you lay down, you love him
And learn him, yes it's still sacred to be a virgin
Relax, it's curiosity that always burns 'em in fact
Sex is like candy, be disciplined, no splurgin
You don't want your stomach hurtin
Girl, you gotta.. {TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME}
Listen!

Cash is an issue with that he can never diss you
Even if he makes you cry, you bought your own tissue
witcha own case, witcha own hand, wipe ya own face
And throw him out, no doubt, out of your own place
If your heart is broken you can mend it
If you're independent, your womanhood, that's when you defend it
Just.. uhh, just {TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME} woo!
Look!

{TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME}

Don't come witcha hand always out
If he buys you somethin thank him, but that's not what a man is about
Real men are real friends, showin their real commitment
He tells you he really loves you, a boy can't really admit it
If a man really wants you, that man really flaunts you
In public or private a real man really supports you
'Member what Guru taught you? Of course you "Royalty"
You dress how you like when a QUEEN is what you ought to be
and ought to act like, and also ought to manifest
How you dress makes you constantly blessed, or constantly stressed
{TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME} Yo!

{TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME}

Yo, yo
So while you burnin off those calories, think about reality
Get a skill for the salary, a man for the family
Not a boy, that's a catastrophe, don't get mad at me
Instead of always clubbin visit museums and art galleries
Pick the single man, admirin the ancient sculpture
He's cultured, chances are he won't insult ya
Give him your number only after you know what he does
Ask him what it is, not what it was
You want the good life (GOOD LIFE)
You want the good life (GOOD LIFE)
You want the, you want the, you want the
C'mon, you gotta {TAKE.. YOUR.. TIME}

I don't like the good lyrics get foreshadowed by the negative. It's like the one bad apple spoils the bunch
