EX G.I. Joe † Ghetto Church †

The Father & The Son who's WILL is ONE, My Parents, My Best Friends, ALL my Brothers & Sisters in Christ Jesus...

I left in love, in laughter, and in truth and wherever truth, love and laughter abide, I am there in spirit. - Bill Hicks

"I'm so sick of arming the World and then sending troops to destroy the arms." - Bill Hicks

The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..." And we... kill those people. Ha ha "Shut him up." "We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real." Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because: It's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money that we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. - Bill Hicks

Today, a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration — that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death; life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves... Here's Tom with the weather! - Bill Hicks

“I love the Pope, I love seeing him in his Pope-Mobile, his three feet of bullet proof plexi-glass. That's faith in action folks! You know he's got God on his side.” - Bill Hicks

“I'll show you politics in America. Here it is, right here. 'I think the puppet on the right shares my beliefs.' 'I think the puppet on the left is more to my liking.' 'Hey, wait a minute, there's one guy holding out both puppets!'” - Bill Hicks

“I get a kick out of being an outsider constantly. It allows me to be creative. I don't like anything in the mainstream and they don't like me.” - Bill Hicks

There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future. But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit. Remember that. - Tupac Shakur

The three strikes law is drastic and certain death for us ghetto bastards. - 2Pac

Three big Shepherds, I call em my Illuminati eaters.

What the industry did to 'Pac they did to Jesus. Rapin' his vocals and destroying his message. - Immortal Technique

See we loosin this world we love And it looks like the sinnin won't end So I'm reachin high up above Lord, let your blessings begin

Won’t be no Hell for me, just Paradise. So what you gonna do, what you gonna do? When the New World Order come for you. All you can do… is recognize the truth! - BTNH

I'm not saying I'm gunna change the World, but I guarantee that I will spark the brain that will change the World. Keep your head up. Do what you gotta do, and inside of you I will be reborn. - Tupac Shakur

The only time they notice a Gazan is when he's clutchin on a four-five.

Coming to grips with my past, it was hard. I don't feel what I did was evil. I feel like the way I was living and my mentality was a part of my progression to be a man. - Tupac Shakur

They wonder if I'm hellbound... well Hell can't be worse than this, cause I'm in Hell now. - Tupac Shakur

TRULY HUMBLE UNITED GATHERING SOULS, YA UNDERSTOOD?

WE DON'T SHED TEAR'S WE SHED BLOOD, DO YOU STILL WANNA BE A THUG?

"All good niggas, all the niggas who change the world, die in violence. They don't die in regular ways." - Tupac Shakur

"Everybody's at war with different things...I'm at war with my own heart sometimes." - Tupac Shakur

There are times I've suffered shipwreck in my journeys: In perils of robbers; In perils of false brethren; In perils of my own design: Yet, from these perils comes knowledge: Only from within we may truly shine.

Come listen to my truest thoughts, my truest feelings All my peers doing years beyond drug dealing How many caskets can we witness Before we see it's hard to live This life without God, so we must ask forgiveness Ask mama why God deserved to die Witness the tears falling free from my eyes Before she could reply

Give me a paper and pen. So I can write about my life of sin. A couple bottles of gin in case I don't get in.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my guns to keep, If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take. God, when thugs cry, too much is hard.

What y'all want? Unconditional Love no doubt. Talking bout the stuff that don't wear off. It don't fade. It'll last for all these crazy days. these crazy nights. Whether you wrong or you right, I'm a still love you. Still feel you, Still there for you, No matter what hehe, You will always be in my heart, With unconditional love.

I was born an inmate, waitin to escape the prison, Went to church but don't understand it, they underhanded, God gave me these commandments, the World is scandalous.

Searching for truth, where it's hard to find God. I play the Pied Piper, and to this Thug Life, I'm a lifer.

We found a family spot to kick it Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at thug's mansion

Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good. Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods.

I finally understand for a woman it ain't easy tryin to raise a man You always was committed A poor single mother on welfare, tell me how ya did it There's no way I can pay you back But the plan is to show you that I understand You are appreciated

When I was sick as a little kid, To keep me happy there's no limit to the things you did, And all my childhood memories, Are full of all the sweet things you did for me, And even though I act craaazy, I gotta thank the Lord that you made me, There are no words that can express how I feel, You never kept a secret, always stayed real, And I appreciate, how you raised me, And all the extra love that you gave me, I wish I could take the pain away, If you can make it through the night there's a brighter day.

I heard it's popin' at a church, but they say I can't get in, cause i'm dressed like a thug, until I die.

Livin life is but a dream, hard times is all we see on my block, every block is kinda mean, but on our block we still playyyyyy.

Everyone's ashamed of the youth cause the truth looks strange, And for me it's reversed, we left them a world that's cursed, and it hurts.

I'm losin' my Religion, I'm vicious on these stool pigeons. You might be deep in this game, but you got the rules missin.

There's no way you can let go of the anger without liberating your self and totally liberating your self and focusing on the community. The children are our future is an old saying but it just reign's true, they are our future. - Bizzy Bone

I know what I've done wrong, I am acquainted with the night. I know how hard it is. To always walk out in the light.

In the event of my demise when my heart can beat no more I hope I die 4 a princeple Or a belief that I have lived 4 I will die b4 my time Becuz I feel the shadow'z depth So much I wanted 2 accomplish B4 I reached my death I have come 2 grips wit the possibility And wiped the last tear from my eyez I loved all who were positive In the event of my demise - Tupac Shakur

In the event of my demise, don't shed no tear. I'LL SHARE MY WISDOM WITH THE WORLD, THEY'LL KNOW I WAS HERE. Know I was clear, EVERYTHING I SAID I MEANT An outlaw, WHEN I WAS BORN THEY PREPARED MY DITCH, I LOVE GOD, SO DEATH I DON'T FEAR NO MORE.

I got shot five times but I'm still breathin. Livin proof there's a God if you need a reason. - Tupac Shakur

From the start I felt the racism cause all my friend's were dark.

"You're waiting for the revolution to start but you aint on the front lines takin two in the heart."

"I have come out of the system of the Corporate U.S. government. I use no Social Security number, do no banking, pay no income tax, do not carry license or insurance." John Joe Gray, November 11, 1998

"If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary."

"Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today."

"Don't be scared just be prepared for the worst."

Watchin time fly; I love my people do or die But I wonder why, we scared to let each other fly

The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it, together. The Terminator knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. Maybe the future has been written. I don't know; all I know is what the Terminator taught me; never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun.

If I get sniped tonight you know why, cause I told you to fight.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong. That is your oath.

"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." - MLK JR

"It's hard to beat a person who never gives up." - Babe Ruth

Lord, I never lived where Churches grow. I loved creation better as it stood. The day you finished it so long ago, and looked upon your work and called it good. Others seem to find you in the light that's sifted down through tinted window pains, and yet I feel your pressence here tonight in this dim quite star light on the plains. - Johnny Cash
