Hail Mary Lyrics

Makaveli in this
Killuminati, all through your body
The blow's like a twelve gauge shotty
Uh, feel me (come with me)
And God said he should send his one begotten son (Hail Mary nigga, run quick, see)
To lead the wild into the ways of the man
(What do we have here, now? Do you want to ride or die?)
Follow me (la, da-da-da, la-la, la-la)
Eat my flesh, flesh and my flesh

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la

I ain't a killer, but don't push me
Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to gettin' pussy
Picture paragraphs unloaded, wise words bein' quoted
Peeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed it
Bow down, pray to God, hopin' that he's listenin'
Seein' niggas comin' for me, through my diamonds when they glistenin'
Now pay attention, bless me please Father, I'm a ghost
In these killin' fields, Hail Mary, catch me if I go
Let's go deep inside the solitary mind of a madman
Screams, in the dark, evil lurks, enemies, see me flee
Activate my hate, let it break to the flame
Set trip, empty out my clip, never stop to aim
Some say the game is all corrupt and fucked in this shit
Stuck, niggas is lucky if we bust out this shit
And plus mama told me never stop until I bust a nut
Fuck the world if they can't adjust
It's just as well, Hail Mary

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la

Penitentiaries is packed with promise-makers
Never realize the precious time that bitch niggas is wastin'
Instutionalized, I live my life a product made to crumble
But too hardened for a smile, we're too crazy to be humble
We ballin' catch me father please, cause I'm fallin'
In the liquor store pass the Hennessy, I hear ya callin'
Can I get some more?
Hell, 'til I reach Hell, I ain't scared
Mama checkin' in my bedroom, I ain't there
I got a head with no screws in it, what can I do?
One life to live but I got nothin' to lose
Just me and you on a one way trip to prison
Sellin' drugs, we all wrapped up in this livin' life as thugs
To my homeboys in Clinton Max doin' their bid
Raise hell to this real shit and feel this
When they turn out the lights, I'll be there in the dark
Thuggin' eternal through my heart
Now Hail Mary, nigga

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la

They got a A-P-B out on my thug family
Since the Outlawz run these streets like these scandalous freaks
Our enemies die now, walkin' 'round half dead
Head down, K-blasted off of Hennessy and Thai
Chronic, mixed in, now I'm twisted, blistered and high
Visions of me, thug-livin', gettin' me by
Forever live, and I multiply, survived by thugs
When I die they won't cry unless they comin' with slugs

Peep the whole scene and whatever's goin' on around me
Brain kind of cloudy, smoked out, feelin' rowdy
Ready to wet the party up, and whoever in that motherfucker
Nasty new street slugger, my heat seeks suckers
On the regular, mashin' in a stolen Black Ac' Integra
Cocked back, sixty seconds 'til the draw, that's when I'm deadin' ya feet first
You've got a nice gat but my heat's worse
From a thug to preachin' church, I gave you love, now you eatin' dirt
Needin' work and I ain't the nigga to put you on
'Cause word is bond, when I was broke I had to hustle 'til dawn
That's when sun came up, it's only one way up
Hold your head, stay up
To all my niggas, get your pay and weight up

If it's on then it's on, we rape beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate?
To this shit I don't got be the shit I gotta take
Dealin' with fate, hopin' God don't close the gate

If it's on then it's on, we rape beat-breaks
Outlawz on a paper chase, can you relate?
To this shit I don't got be the shit I gotta take
Dealin' with fate, hopin' God don't close the gate

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now? (We've been travelin' on this weary road)
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la (sometimes life can take a heavy load)

Come with me (but we ride, ride it like a bullet)
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see (Hail Mary, Hail Mary, Hail Mary)
What do we have here now? (We won't worry, everythin' well curry)
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la (free like the bird in the tree)

Come with me (we won't worry, everythin' well curry)
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see (Yes we free like the bird in the tree)
What do we have here now? (We runnin' from the penitentiary)
Do you want to ride or die? (This is the time for we liberty, Hail Mary)
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la (Hail Mary)

Come with me
Hail Mary, nigga, run quick, see
What do we have here now?
Do you want to ride or die?
La, da-da-da, la-la, la-la

Westside, Outlawz
Makaveli the Don, Solo
Killuminati, The 7 Days

What is the Meaning of Hail Mary?

In this deeply introspective track, the artist grapples with themes of mortality, retribution, and the struggle for survival in a hostile environment. The title "Hail Mary" alludes to both a desperate football pass in dire circumstances and the Catholic prayer, reflecting an atmosphere of urgency and spiritual crisis. The artist articulates his experiences with systemic oppression, violence, and the constant threat of death. He presents himself as a product of these harsh realities - not inherently violent but forced into this lifestyle by circumstance. His repeated invocation of 'Hail Mary' underscores a longing for salvation from this cycle of violence and retribution. Ultimately, the song serves as an unflinching exploration of life on the margins of society and a poignant critique of systemic socio-economic issues that perpetuate such conditions.
