"I ain't no killer but don't push me." 

Same Hail Mary, wrong word choice. Attendees at a December 11 Christmas carol service in Sri Lanka received booklets containing lyrics to Tupac featuring The Outlawz 1997 single, Hail Mary and not the traditional Christian prayer.

Andrew Choksy, who attended the Joy to the World service, told CNN, "A lot of people were in shock as whether it was a joke or someone would actually rap the song." 

The "festival of music for peace and harmony" turned into quite the distraction.

"A few of the older ladies in front of us could not stop looking at the printed booklet," Choksy said.

Father Da Silva, from the Archdiocese of Colombo, said that guests were asked to return their booklets once organizers realized the error. 

Now to the million dollar question. How did the mix-up happen?

Father Da Silva apologized and told CNN a "young boy" downloaded the incorrect song by accident.
