"Hellalujah" lyrics

"Give God the first portion of your income. Say that with me:
Give God the first portion of your income. Give it first! Not after deducts, not after the social security, and the hospitalization, and the malnutrition. Not after all these things on your checklist, 'Oh, I'm gonna give God a little what's left.' You do, and that's what you gonna get from God."

[Violent J:]
Who am I? I'm not the Devil
I can take you to my level
Above the rocks, above the earth
Tell me what your soul is worth
How much money do you make?
How much will you let me take?
I will give you tranquility
Just send your welfare checks to me
Life is going to expire
And your soul will burn in fire
You will perish in the thunder
Unless you call my hotline number
God has asked you to make me rich
Me and my fat-whack gaudy bitch
On your TV's late at night
Send those checks and I'll guide you to the light

[Legz Diamond (Shaggy 2 Dope):]
"Don't put away your wallets just yet, brothers and sisters
There's
Somebody here I'd like all of you to meet
This is little Jonathan. Jonathan, say 'hello' to the lovely people."
("Hello.")
"Jonathan has problems: twisted neck, tangled legs, crooked spine, but we can heal this boy!
For just, uh, six thousand dollars, we can heal this boy!"

[Violent J:]
Buddha called me and then stopped by
And he told me you're gonna die
Unless you buy my holy water
Check, cash, or a money order
This is true, don't question me
I'll even send you shit for free
It's only ten bucks for the call
And I'll send a prayer, no charge at all
Put your lips up to the screen
Close your eyelids and intervene
Your lips to mine, now send the cash
And while you're there, you can kiss my ass
Take your paycheck and send me half
And I'll send you God's autograph
I'll get you Allah's and Buddha's too
Even Zeus, I don't give a fuck who
Just send me that money

[Legz Diamond (Shaggy 2 Dope):]
"Would you like to be healed, little Jonathan?"
("Yeah, Reverend")
"You see, brothers and sisters, this-"
"Uh, excuse me. I told you never to page me on a sermon day
Yes? Uh-huh. Hallelujah. Outty
People, that was the Lord, today only
He will heal this boy, for just five thousand dollars!"

Pass the collection plate (Show-show-show me how you give)
Pass the collection plate (G-give-give right to live right)
Pass the collection plate (Show-show-show me how you give)
Pass the collection plate (Show me how you give, I'll tell you how you live)

[Violent J:]
Your total's twenty-two eleven
For your set of keys to Heaven
Make the checks out in my name
Me or God, it's all the same
Bring your crippled ass to me
Pay my usher the holy fee
I'll bless your legs and bless your chair
Then wheel your bitch-ass outta here
Now, a special ceremony
This part don't cost any money
Drip a drop of blessed water
Now I fertilize your daughter
Even though I fucked a hooker
Took your baby girl and shook her
You still buy everything I sell
And I'm living well, see you in Hell

[Legz Diamond (Shaggy 2 Dope):]
"Four-thousand eight-hundred, nine-hundred, five thousand!
Hallelujah! You did it, brothers and sisters!
Are you ready, Jonathan?"
("Yes, Reverend")
"Lord Almighty, we've met your price, give me the healing power, I can feel it, Lord!"
("I'm so happy")
"Roomy loomy Lamanamanumi! This boy is healed."
("Eh?")
"Now to the naked eye, it would appear that this boy has not been healed, but I can assure you, this boy's spirit has been healed
Inside this tangled, mangled frame is a healed little boy
His spirit is healed, Hallelujah!"

"Country cookin', can I take your order?"
[?]
"You want the red-eye gravy with that?"
[?]
"With chitlins or black-eyed peas?"
[?]
"Let me cypher up your bill here."
[?]
"That comes to fourteen ninety-five."
[?]
"Okay, be ready quicker than two jiggles of a jackrabbit's ass."
