[00:00:00] Tabernacle(Explicit) - Royce da 5'9"
[00:00:04] Yeah
[00:00:12] I wanna share some sh*t with y'all
[00:00:17] All truth all truth
[00:00:23] Like I'm standing inside a tabernacle
[00:00:25] I promised not to lie in not one of these verses
[00:00:28] I started out as a battle rapper
[00:00:30] All I knew was Maxells ADATs DATs and gats
[00:00:34] My name is Ryan Daniel Montgomery
[00:00:35] Recovering alcoholic I grew up on 9 mile
[00:00:39] I'm not a gangster drug dealer or thug ni**a
[00:00:41] Just an MC who made a name with his rhyme style
[00:00:44] Sometime around '95 I found my calling
[00:00:47] And that all coincides with the time that I found my darling
[00:00:50] Now later on in the story I tell you her significance
[00:00:52] But now let's talk about me specifically
[00:00:54] Three brothers and one sister see
[00:00:56] My daddy taught me consistency with his f**king patterns
[00:00:59] Hallelujah I'm the son of a addict
[00:01:01] My addiction was music
[00:01:02] All I would do is go to the studio and the shelter
[00:01:05] And listen to Redman and Heltah Skeltah
[00:01:08] Aye you all remember that one joint from the heltah skeltah album called
[00:01:10] Sean Price be like
[00:01:11] I'm not sure any
[00:01:13] Yeah that was my sh*t
[00:01:15] I used to bump that sh*t all day
[00:01:19] By this time I knew I wanted to be an artist
[00:01:20] I didn't want to be anything else
[00:01:22] You know but my mom had plans for me
[00:01:24] She wanted me to go to school so you know
[00:01:29] To make mom's happy
[00:01:30] I took some general courses in college
[00:01:32] Took the bus until I got hella bored with that
[00:01:34] Because the bus stop I had to walk to
[00:01:36] Was right across from the first studio I ever recorded at
[00:01:40] Now I would have to assume that
[00:01:41] It was either meant for me to be rapping
[00:01:43] Or meant for me to be laughing at God's
[00:01:45] Geographical humor
[00:01:46] As soon as I stepped foot in the open mic it was like a reunion
[00:01:50] I was a shoe in
[00:01:51] I met Kino there too
[00:01:52] And he asked me to manage me
[00:01:54] And that was back in like let me see
[00:01:56] '97 my girl was pregnant
[00:01:58] Hurdles was prevalent
[00:01:59] And it was therapeutic just for me to breathe into my mic
[00:02:02] Started learning why the Lord put certain people in my life
[00:02:04] And the way he started blessing me uh
[00:02:06] I guess before my inner demons got the best of me
[00:02:09] Like sneezing was my vice
[00:02:10] Needless to say that December 29th was the day
[00:02:12] I became a believer in fate
[00:02:14] Okay now it's December 28th
[00:02:16] My day has gone great
[00:02:17] Kino booked me a show under contract to do that night
[00:02:20] I got a call from my girl's people
[00:02:22] Saying she's in labor in the hospital right now 9th floor
[00:02:26] I get on the elevator
[00:02:27] Elevator stops on the 5th floor
[00:02:29] Elevator opens up
[00:02:30] My uncle's standing there crying
[00:02:32] Now I'm caught off guard I'm like what the f**k
[00:02:35] My uncle standing there like Ryan they that way
[00:02:38] I walk out I see my momma and that entire side of my family
[00:02:41] Looking like there's some kind of drama happenin'
[00:02:43] I said what happened
[00:02:44] They like Granny's been in a bad accident and it ain't looking good
[00:02:48] I'm like man what
[00:02:49] I'm having a baby four floors up
[00:02:50] Before I froze up
[00:02:51] I'm trying to figure out why the Lord chose us
[00:02:54] Or maybe chose me
[00:02:55] To ride in this emotionally roller coaster
[00:02:57] My momma said the baby here yet
[00:02:59] I said maybe
[00:03:00] She said maybe baby go see
[00:03:01] I walk away feeling like a good father the same time as a terrible son
[00:03:05] Get to my girl she 5 centimetres dilated so I waited
[00:03:09] She got to get to 'bout nine 'til it's that time
[00:03:11] And meanwhile I'm more popular in this hospital than the doctors
[00:03:14] Nurses watching whispering like that's the one right there
