Top 10 deepest Hip Hop songs about God

[Gundress]

When I say deep I mean as in well thought out and thought provoking. The following songs fit said category.

*Acknowledegments*

Killah Priest - B.I.B.L.E.

[Bigsmoke]

great list


B.I.B.L.E = top 5

[joe]

I haven't heard almost any of those songs, but one of my favorite hip hop songs of alllll time is about God...

Joe Buddens - Pray for me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o61emtyGBq8

Suchhh an incredible song.. it's about a guy having a near death experience, going to heaven, and getting into an argument with God about how he treats humans and the mysterious ways he acts and what not.. it's really good

[L.Kizzle]

Deep Hip-Hop songs, not one from PUBLIC ENEMY??

or from your hometown homie Scarface

i favorite'd this thread, i'll get to these songs eventually. I listened to the Talib Kweli one and liked it a lot.

some of the DMX one's you've listed i've heard before.

and @ joe's post-i've heard the song before and recall that it's really good. I think Joe Budden is very underrated.

Obviously u haven't been paying attention to anything I stated concerning rappers breaking down how God is within self.

Why don't you just post Public Enemy song about God?


Devil = Your Low-Self

God = Your High-Self.

[Jailblazers7]

That's weird, I was just listening to Talib Kweli - Hell a couple of hours ago when Longshot made that Def Poetry Jam thread.

[Gundress]

or from your hometown homie Scarface


I love Scarface and I like some of his song like "Someday"

Scarface - Someday

[StroShow4]

B.I.B.L.E. should be at the top of that list as far as I'm concerned... song is INCREDIBLE.

[Gundress]

Roots - Dear God 2.0 is a very solid nice song.

[mcrd101]

I can't believe you missed so many tears by tupac...that dude is praying

[JEFFERSON MONEY]

Wayne - Pray to the Lord
Fiasco - Muhammad Walks

[LilBTheBasedGod]

B.I.B.L.E. is better than all those songs. #1

:cheers: my fav track on that album also.

[Riddler]

2) DMX - 6 way tie for #2 for all Prayers and corresponding songs from every DMX album. The greatest act of submission to the unknown I've ever seen in Hip Hop. The Prayer pieces from every X album have been the greatest thing to come out of X's career. Say what u want about X on the surface but there is no denying the truth in X's heart listening to these beautiful pieces of poetry

1 ) Prayer

Convo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCH8G1wLmro

2) Ready to meet him

3 ) Prayer 3 / Angel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yvTPJdVYao

4) prayer 4 / A minute for yor son
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RtbyTJodZU

5 ) DMX Thank You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRfPf_oVVBk

The Prayer V

6 )The Prayer 6

Lord Give Me A Sign

Verse three: scarface

Day by day it's more impossible to cope
I feel like I'm the one that's doing dope
Can't keep a steady hand because I'm nervous
Every sunday morning I'm in service
Playing for forgiveness
And trying to find an exit out of the business
I know the lord is looking at me
But yet and still it's hard for me to feel happy
I often drift while I drive
Havin fatal thoughts of suicide
Bang and get it over with
And then I'm worry-free, but that's bullshit
I got a little boy to look after
And if I died then my child would be a bastard
I had a woman down with me
But to me it seemed like she was down to get me
She helped me out in this shit
But to me she was just another *****
Now she's back with her mother
Now I'm realizing that I love her
Now I'm feeling lonely
My mind is playing tricks on me
