{"Lucifer, son of the morning! I'm gonna, chase you out of earth"}
{"Lucifer Lucifer, son of the morning..."}
[Jigga] I'm from the murder capital, where we murder for capital
[Jigga] Kanyeeze you did it again, you a genius nigga!
[Jigga] So you need to change your attitude
[Jigga] 'fore they askin what happened to you
[Verse One]
He got them dark forces in him
But he also got a rightous cause for sinnin'
Them a murder me so i gotta murder them first
Emergency doctors performin procedures
Jesus
I ain't tryin to be facetious
But "Vengance is mine" said the Lord
You said it better than all
Leave niggas on deaths door
Breathin off res-pir-rators
for killin my best boy, HATERS
On permanant hiatus as i escape
In the Maybach Benz
Fly this then Sanaa Lathan
Pumpin "Brown Sugar" by D'Angelo
In Los Angeles
Like an evangelist
I can introduce you to your maker
Bring you closer to nature
Ashes after they cremate you bastards
Hope you been readin your psalms and chapters
Payin your tithes being good Catholics
I'm comin
[Verse Two]
Yes, this is holy war
I wet y'all all with the holy water
Spray from the Heckler-Koch auto-
matic all the static, shall cease to exist
like a sabbatical, I throw couple at you, take six!
Spread love, to all of my dead thugs
I pour out a little Louie, to a head above
Yessir, and when I perish,
The meek shall inherit the earth
'Til that time, it's on and poppin, CHURCH
Like Don Bishop, the fifth upon cock either
Lift up your soul or give you the holy ghost
Please I leave you in somebody's cathedral
for stuntin like Evel Knievel
I let you see where that bright light lead you
The more you talk, the more you irkin us
The more you gon' need memorial services
"The Black Album" second verse, is like
Devil's pie, save some dessert for us
[Interlude]
Man, I gotta get my soul right, uhh
I gotta get these devils out my life, uhh
These cowards gonna make a nigga right, uhh
They won't be happy 'til somebody die, uhh
Oh man, I gotta get my soul right, uhh
'Fore I'm locked up for my whole life, uhh
Every time it seems it's alright
Somebody want they soul to rise
I chase you off of this earth
[Interlude]
Man i gotta get my soul right
I gotta get these Devils out my life
These cowards gonna make a nigga ride
They won't be happy til somebody dies
Man i gotta get my soul right
'Fore i'm locked up for my whole life
Everytime it seems it's all right
Somebody want they soul to rise
(I'll chase you off of this Earth)
[Verse Three]
I got dreams of holdin a nine milla to Bobs killer
Askin him "why?" as my eyes fill up
These days i can't wake up with a dry pillow
Gone but not forgotten holmes I still feel ya
So...
Curse the day that birthed the bastard
Who caused your Church mass
Reverse the crash
Reverse the blast
And reverse the car
Reverse the day, and there you are:
Bob Allah
Lord forgive him we all have sinned
But Bob's a good dude please let him in
And if you feel in my heart that I long for revenge
Please blame it on the son of the morning
Thanks again

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
the line is a sample from the song "I chase the Devil" by Max Romeo and Scratch Perry. The line goes "Lucifer, Son of the morning, Im gonna chase you out of earth." Because it was sped up in "Lucifer" it sounds like "don" or "dawn."
Bob Allah is not his nephew that died in the car accident.. His nephews name is Colleek and he mentions this in "Lost Ones". Bob Allah is actually Kareem "Biggs" brother or close friend. He was murdered. Assuming the lyrics from 'Lucifer" are factual, there probably was a car accident involving "Bob Allah" that lead to an altercation and inevitable his demise.
One way to praise, or worship something, or someone is to say their name over and over again. In this case it is Satan. Be careful of what you expose yourself to. There is power in the name of JESUS!! Be Blessed!!
as if no one has commented on this song, where are all the jay-z fans? I love this song
This lyric wasn't up for the longest time, I just submitted it last week. I suppose in the chorus line, it could be dawn (as in time of day) or don (as in boss). Does anyone know who this Bob is?
regarding "Bob": this has bothered me for a while. my first inclination was that he's referring to Notorious (they were friends, and the way Jay sings "I got dreams..." at the beginning of the final verse is similar to the biggie song 'dreams'. but in "my first song", during the shoutout as the song runs down, he says biggie smalls rest in peace, AND bob allah rest in peace.
and, um, biggie's name isn't bob.
it's a great song, particularly that last verse, which leads into "allure" so well. if anybody has any insight into who bob is, or any other thoughts, please share!
i think Bob is HOVA's father. but i'm not totally sure on that one.
dude, you got the lyrics ALL wrong man. you shoulda bought the CD instead of downloading it. i'll post the correct lyrics later.
I'm pretty sure it should be "Lucifer, Lucifer, dawn of the morning, I'm gonna chase you out of here." Since Lucifer is also known as the Morning Star, it makes sense this way. Awesome track.
the first time i heard this song was at the end of an Entourage episode. I love it now.it's great.
