Grab it like soil This mic is royal My pens a needle, my arms a notepad My thoughts a dope bag, my rooms a coke lab I cooked up tunes My homie smoked tash, and used to throw cash Out of born fishes, they want the raw lyrics Shoot or sniff it, you call it Alcoholics listen Smiling, while nodding off, mumblin 'This kid has talent' Then pass out, while spillin they quarts Then open up another gallon I smoke from a chalice, who wanna challenge? I spoke inbalanced Priest the magic man Presto, there goes your ghetto Colored, increase your level You gotta love it baby [Chorus] [Killah Priest] Yeah, uh huh, yeah I get em with the rhythm Twist em, spittin like exorcism A poets wisdom, give em vision, dialect Just listen, to productions Let it flush your system keep discussions To a minimum, watch me I'm winnin em Those imprisoned from the bling-bling Locked up like sing, sing Until I ginseng root Right into it like a fruit again Sight to the blind, speech to the mute, yeah [Talking: Killah Priest] It's all day man I can't believe what I'm hearin You know what I'm sayin? What I'm seein, it's beautiful I could go all day long, it's the life Yo, I could just keep going (Priest) Yeah, check it out, yo (Killah Priest, baby) [Killah Priest] My heart is jaded, star gazin, R rated Nickel-plated, manipulated It gets better when it ages So amazing, I say 'Amen' So majestic, emotions like a slow record It's like a epic, or a shiny necklace Catch me at the guestlist At Black August, check my performance I'm brainstormin, rain pourin, no need for umbrellas I'm tryna tell ya, best seller Thoughts angelic, soft like velvet Take off my helmet, the warriors home Like Centurions in Rome You know what I mean? I just zone I could go all day with this Just gimmie- where the hook at? [Chorus] [Fade out]
