歌詞

[Hook 3X: Killah Priest] The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth [Chorus 2X: Killah Priest] Life is a test many quest the universe And through my research, I felt the joy and the hurt 'The first shall be last and the last shall be first' The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth [Killah Priest] Knowledge is wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve I loved doing right but I was trapped in Hell Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear I searched for the truth since my youth And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot That I was paying, plus the praying I didn't like staying 'cause of busybodies and dizzy hotties That the preacher had souped-up with lies Had me cooped up looking at loot, butt and thighs During the service, he swallowed up the poor And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor But I ignored and explored my history that was untold And watched mysteries unfold And dropped the jewel like Solomon, but never followed men 'Cause if you do your brain is more hollow than Space oblivion or the abyss With no trace of trivia left with the hiss Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind? From a slave you was kept from the mind And from the caves he crept from behind And what he gave was the sect of the swine When in the Bible, it condemns the pig I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs But we used to wear a turban but now we're in the urban No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie No hocus-pocus cause I focus on the facts And put it on the track and brought it through the wax I'd speak on Jacob, it might take up some time And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme I did it anyway just to wake up the mind Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet Those who sit home or sell books by the market Need to chill and get their mind revived For years religion did nothing but divide The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth [Chorus] [Killah Priest] I strolled through the Books of Job to unfold And open Bibles, instead of hoping on revivals Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah When he hardly knew you, that's how the devils fooled you 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 'til my eyes was swollen and only arose when I found out that we were the chosen I deal with the truth and build with the youth And teach my son as he kneels on the stool Son, 'Life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men And women with wicked minds, who build picket signs To legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion' I quiz Son with my wisdom Before I converted, I was perverted and knowledge was asserted The study of wisdom, I preferred it The understanding, it gave me mental freedom I even learnt Caucasian were really the Tribe of Eden The white image of Christ is really Cesare Borgia And uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander The sixth of Rome and 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 and some are plunging evil So study and be wise in these days of darkness Peace to my nephew Marcus The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth [Chorus] [Movie sample] Thebes, city of lust and evil Men deserve injustice They deserve their cruel priests and evil gods For we are vile No more than a crawling disease on the face of the Earth The grave is the only cure for our violence
