Remember that scene out of The update ArchivesSimpsonswhere Bart Simpson changes one of the hymns to Iron Butterfly's hard rock classic "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and the whole church sung along to it?

Well, it's happened for real apparently, but during a Christmas carols event called "Joy To The World" in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

It appears the lyrics to 2Pac's song "Hail Mary," which shares the name with a Catholic prayer, was mistakenly printed in a booklet handed out to carolers on Dec. 11.

Pictures of the pages with the lyrics have since spread on social media. Andrew Choksy said he took the original photos at the event and shared them with his friends on WhatsApp.

"A lot of people around us were in shock as to whether it was a joke or someone would actually rap the song! A few of the older ladies in front of us could not stop looking at the printed booklet," he confirmed to Mashablevia Messenger.

If you were hoping the congregation would've made some attempt to bust out some of the rapper's lyrics, but unfortunately it didn't happen. The original lyrics from the 2Pac song would've probably given someone a conniption.

"I ain't a killer but don't push meRevenge is like the sweetest joy next to getting pussyPicture paragraphs unloaded, wise words being quotedPeeped the weakness in the rap game and sewed itBow down, pray to God hoping that he's listeningSeeing niggas coming for me, to my diamonds, when they glisteningNow pay attention, rest in peace fatherI'm a ghost in these killing fields"

Merry Christmas from Tupac Shakur. He lives!
