Peace Killah Priest

Peace wassup man?

Chillin baby

I'm with you

Yo.. I wanna know what's goin on

Ever since that Basic Instruction Before Leavin Earth

I wanna know what you gonna do for us right now

It's been a while baby we waitin!

I've just been chillin been chillin

I been in the lab writin and stuff y'know?

I just been on my y'know knowhatI'msayin on some

Guns shootouts and crack sales

Black males who pack jails, trapped in hell

No peace, cold streets, surrounded by po-lice

this whole week, buildings with no heats

No lights, the gas pipes the snow leaks

Dog fights and lowlife throw dice the whole night

Thieves, creepin

in the midnight evenings, saw through the misty regions

Go to your house, take a vial for the demons

Moon in, the lunar eclipse

Prophets stand in the midst of the seven candlesticks

I can't take it, beauty that was once sacred

is now gettin facelifts, fake tits, and fake lips

Cold embraces

Memory erases, from the slaveships

My princess, I used to spot her from a distance

Holdin my infant, burnin incense

The moment intent, for her to step into my wife tents

Now we step in pre-sents, for your ebony prince

The small of frankencense; once treated like a pharoah

With royal apparel, annointed with myrrh and aloe

We used to wallow, amongst the mallows

We had herd sheep and cattle, now we battle

Used to pass over Brooks of Qe'ron

Towers of Lebanon, the pool of Gechron

We used to sing songs, upon Mount Hebron

How is gold turned to bronze, and shhh....

How is gold turned to bronze

We was the wisest and the richest, now we turn to snitches

Women turn to bitches, in the time of harvest

We was the smarteest, worshipped Wisdom like the Goddess

Now we act retarded, forsook the Wisdom of the Fathers

We use to have a thousand flagons of wine

In Palestine there would drink Ballentine

And raise up in the violent mind

We used to have a hundred measures of oil, eighty measures

of wheat and barley, we live Godly

Listening to Bob Marley, before the devils robbed me

Chasin us through the African safaris

From Then Till Now

What goes up must come down

What goes down comes back around again

Where it all began, began, began, began

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now

(repeat 2X)

Singin holy anthems, lampin with all

my handsome grandsons, hair long as Sampson

Inside my gold mansion, they used to wear purple Pampers

But now we Black Panthers, some are actors and dancers

It's funny how the dollar bill have my seeds holler for meals

Mother swallow a pill, roads seem hollow but still

grab a bottle to heal, it's like a noose

of seventh seal over Brownsville

What's the difference between the ghetto and death row?

I'm trapped up with cleptos, the tec blow

I'm left in seft low, where the cries echo

and echo and echo and echo and echoes

From the Crystal City, near Getti

Children used to grow on lillies, now they roll up Phillies

But the pyramids of Cheops, is my weed spot

Sometimes I eavesdrop in the books of Enoch

We went from studying epistles of Paul

beneath a waterfall, rubbin crystal balls

But now we spray paint initials on the wall

On the wall... spray paint initials on the wall

From Then Till Now

What goes up must come down

What goes down comes back around again

Where it all began, began, began, began

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now

(repeat 3X
