(Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)

(Ft. Killah Priest)



Basic instructions before leavin' Earth

Basic instructions before leavin' Earth

Basic instructions before leavin' Earth



Chorus:(X2)

Life is a test, many quest the universe

N' through my research, I felt the joy N' the hurt

The first shall be last N' the last shall be first

The basic instructions before leavin' Earth





(Killah Priest)

Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve

I love doin' right but I was trapped in Hell

Had mad ideas, sad eyes N' tears

Years of fear, but yo my foes couldn't bear

I searched for the truth since my youth

N' went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot

That I was payin', plus the prayin'

I didn't like stayin' cuz of bizzie-bodies

N' dizzy-hotties

That the preach-ass souped up with lies

Had couped up, lookin' at loot, butt N' thighs

During the service, he swallowed up the poor

N' after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor

But I ignored, N' explored my history that was untold

N' watched mysteries unfold

N' dropped the jewel like Solomon, but never followed men

Cuz if you do your brain is more hollow then

Space oblivia, or the abyss

With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss

Does it pay to be deaf, dumb, or blind

From a slave he was kept from the mind

N' from a caves he crept from behind

N' what he gave was the sect of the swine

When the bible, that condemned the pig

I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs

But we used to wear a turban, but now were in the urban

No more wearin' beanies or dress like the genie

No hocus pocus cuz I focus on the facts

N' put it on the track or brought it through the wax

I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time

N' too much knowledge, it might break up the ryhme

I did it anyway, just to wake up the mind

Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet

Those who sit at home, or sell books by the market

Need to chill N' get their mind revived

For years, religion did nothing but divide



chorus(X2)



I strolled through the books of Job to unfold

N' opened bibles, instead of hopin' on revivals

Callin' on his name N' screaming Halleluja

When he hardly knew ya, that's how the devils fooled ya

See, look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverend

Why should you die to go to heaven

The Earth is already in space

The bible I embrace

A difficult task I had to take

I studied till my eyes was swollen

N' only arose when I found out that we were the chosen

I deal with the truth N' build with the youth

N' teach my son as he kneels on the stoop

Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men

N' women with wicked minds who build picket signs

To legalize abortion, the evil eye extortion

I quiz some with my wisdom

Before I converted I was perverted

N' knowledge was asserted

The study of wisdom, I perferred it

The understandin', it gave me mental freedom

I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam

The white image of Christ is really Cesare Borgia

N' uh, the second son of Pope Alexander

The sixth of Rome N' once the picture was shown

That's how the devils tricked my dome

I prophesized to save a man but no one gave a damn

For my nation, the seed of Abraham

Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew

Now we're strung on needles, N' some are plungin' evils

So study N' be wise in these days of darkness

Peace to my nephew Marcus
