Defetinely only has 2 verses. The song starts out with the chorus. Then the 1st verse. Chorus. 2nd verse. Chorus. In the video version it's the same except after the first verse and chorus the Priest is talking. You don't have to include his words just the 1st and 2nd verse. Good luck.

I think I'm one of the few posters on here who actually listens to hip-hop so . . . why not? Even though I think you're full of it Josh :P

Verse 1

Hey, hey, now these might be the most important lines I ever rhyme

I'm about to put you on the strongest truth you'll ever find

A transformation of substance, so sublime

A solemn sacrifice right before your very eyes

21st century, He's really here physically

Prepare yourself mentally for the magnificent mystery

Saving grace, meant to be

Passed over by the misery

You pass over simply

Unleavened host He enters thee

I freeze when I see

That precious body, blood, soul, and divinity

A taste, of infinity

My sustenance, my energy, to fight the enemy

I can't do this all on my own I stay in Him and He's in me

Receive a piece of the Prince of Peace He is the reason

I'm set free from damnation my treason

He said, "take my body and eat it"

I didn't see but believe it

Many acted like they didn't read it

Only a few of us know we need it

verse 2

Look, all they see is bread

But all I see is Him

The power to fight my sin

A shinin' light when my life is dim

Now I done lost a lot of friends

And I know they laugh and grin

When you talkin' about that flesh and blood it makes they head spin

Some say that it may have been just a symbol of

His everlasting love

But I know it's so much more than that my friend

It's help from up above

Patience when I had enough

Sacrifice to offer up

Motivation, extra nudge when I'm not so sure I could not budge

I'm superman when I'm in the Man but

He must be inside of me

My Lord, why can't they see

That this is Calvary?

Professin' profoundly this perfection of my belief

Confession before reception of holy, divine relief

And I'm hangin' like the thief, but the judge

He suffers with me

Offerin' up His back when His enemies try to whip me

Persecute me and hit me

Grief tries to grip me

But I'm stable on the Sacrament

Not a thing can tempt me

You win! 1 minor mistake (I think but will have to ask John Levi to be sure) in the first verse but not enough to disqualify you. Do you want the $500.00 sent by money order or transferred through Western Union? You will get it by Match 1st at the latest. This was a fairly easy one. The next one will be alot tougher. Congratulations!

You call that two verses? Your concept of verse seems to be longer than mine.

Josh you ever listen to Mars Ill, they haven't come out with anything new in like 10 years but my favorite Catholic emcee is Manchild hands down, and I like the underground style production.
