I'd like to thank the Mack God for
All the player prophets that he sent
I'd like to thank him for Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim
For dottin' their I's, crossin' their T's
Poppin' their P's, and flexin' their G's
I'd like to thank the Mack God for all the player
Prophets that he sent before me and 40 Water
For the Mack God chose 40 Water to come
Into the world and change and rearrange
To lace the suckers and the anti-player
He came in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean
On a Glad sandwich bag and floated ashore
And as soon as he hit the shore, he balanced the game
He said that 9/10 of his law was possession
And that 9/10 of his game was position
And that everything was done on the approach
The Mack God said that he would send an
Extraordinary one on the side of 40 Water
And he won't just be a player, he'll be an extraordinary player
Now we gon' turn the Mack book from page 211 to chapter 187
And it talks about how they had a kangaroo court for the players
And how them suckers is out there with trumped up charges on E-40
Well, if you wanna judge the 40 Water
Bring him before twelve G's and open his files
And you will see that he has been true with a
Capital "T" since he was knee-high to a grasshopper
That the Mack God said that in the year
1555 That there was a great explosion
And some of the players inhaled some fumes pertaining
Additives, preservatives, and artificial flavors
The Mack God refers to them as suckers
And he said that he would send one that would
Come from one that was despised and rejected
And that he would send this extraordinary one in the world
And when he come, he would come with ten commandments
And the commandments would be
Thou shall not snitch
Thou shall not infiltrate
Thou shall not perpetrate
Thou shall not player-hate
Thou shall not hold trust
Thou shall not hold save
Thou shall not pay a trick
Thou shall not disrespect the game
Thou shall not be broke
And thou shall not be without that thing
The Mack God said that just because you meet a ho
And she wears a jersey that say "Champion" and
Eat a bowl of Wheaties don't make her a winner
Will she sell her hips and lips and her fingertips?
Will you tear down doors and knock out C.O.'s?
Can you go the distance?
Will you be the one with the checkered flag in your hand?
Yeah, 'cause I will be the winner
