Habemus Papam
I wrote this on April 19, 2005, the day Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger became Pope Benedict XVI. I finally recorded it and made this video today. "Habemus Papam!" Here are the words:
Uh, check it, yeah
Pope Benedict
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.
To the old ladies in the place who are praying for grace
Allow me to lace these scriptural verses in your purses
Who rock pews, spread good news to all the mommies
In the back of the church, slip in late, that's where you'll find me
The back of the church, packing hosts, my crew's behind me
Mad collection baskets, money p%%%in', music blastin'
But I just can't sit
Because one of these mommies can't control her kids
"Five loaves and two fishes, sounds delicious, why not?
Don't think I can multiply it? I'm the Son of God!
Now check it," to the one called Simon, Jesus said,
"Believe me, Petey, we'll have enough to feed the needy"
No need to be greedy we got a mad friend in Ben
He wears clothes by the layers, says true humble prayers
His Pope mobile's got holy wheels
'Cause he holy rolls with the Trinity, he's the sweet 16th
(I love it when you say "Habemus Papam")
Throw your hands in the air if you's a true prayer
(I love it when you say "Habemus Papam")
Crucifix in the mix with Benedict One Six
(I love it when you say "Habemus Papam")
You gotta bring your grace and your faith to this place
(Why?)
'Cause I see some people tonight that should be praisin' Our Lady's Baby
Straight up, Holy Father, I'm askin'
Why we lose souls are actin' like we ain't lackin'?
We're so attracted to the world "Don't look to God, look at girls"
When you drink too much wine, Sata
Uh, check it, yeah
Pope Benedict
In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit,
Amen.

The key is not to allow a person’s actions to rob us of our worth for then we forget to look up for God’s grace.
