Do You Believe? (tour)
Do You Believe?, also known as the Believe Tour, was the fourth concert tour by American recording artist Cher. The tour, which took place in 1999 and 2000, promoted her album, Believe.
History
The tour began on June 16, 1999 and was initially planned to end on December 15, 1999, but due to it being very commercially successful, the tour was extended from December 30, 1999 to March 5, 2000 in North America. Cyndi Lauper, Wild Orchid, Michael McDonald and Julio Iglesias Jr. were the opening acts at different times during the tour.
The August 28, 1999 performance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena was made into the Emmy Awards-nominated HBO television special Live in Concert, which aired the following day, and by year's end was released on VHS and DVD. As stated by the Billboard magazine, the HBO television special was the highest rated original program in over 2 years.
At the time it was her highest-grossing tour ever with the total gross of $160 million, although it would later be eclipsed by her 2002-2005 Living Proof: The Farewell Tour.

Do You Believe
by: BeatnutsJuju:
Ayo , its ill when i'm heated how my heart stay cold
write a rhyme that make the gats around the world explode
now behold the burning malice of a treacherous soul
first time I shot a gun duke , I was 12 years old
But since then , I've never put it down my friend
she go to war when I tell her
fuck a who , why , when , til the end
indeed its good to have and not need
even better when you can shoot back and not bleed
take heed , poppin like an El full of seed
my team is gettin bigger , got more mouths to feed
Shorty let me tell you bout my only vice
it got to do with lots of money and it aint nothin nice
it aint nothin nice
Chorus: (2x)
Ay , you believe in God?
you do , tell him to save you
cause me and these niggaz here
we aint tryin to save you
regardless of the fact that its close to home
I gotta finish your life , so I can start my own
my own nigga
Psycho Les:
Ayo , my audios guaranteed to lift the audience
it was that time again
so we gathered up 40 men
40 ounces , trees burning , heads bouncin
dollars is the mission
sittin in the yoga position
isolate my mind from your bitchin
pulp fiction
lose you in the mix in
lets get this poppin , lock down the top 10
knockin pretty boy cats on they ass each time we drop kid
yeah , you know how we comin
raw grooves with the funky drum drummin
and when my song goes off
you'll still be hummin
noddin your head , or singin my chorus
the after midnight feen
the 4 in the morning blunt feen
peelin dutches
fill em in like taco shells
willing judges
wheeling jake with half a cake in my coat
pointin gats like remotes
at cats with federal notes
tossin bodies off boats
chorus (2x)
our own nigga , our own
