The Offering Intro

歌詞

Uhhhhh This is it, huh? (Greetings) The Offering which you was telling about? What are they bringing? [Killah Priest] Their candles are lit, they walk in burning incense sticks Holding their camels' head low while presenting their gift (Your offering sir) Exotic animals, perfumed oils, gold for the prince For the King dynasties your face carved out a cliff "Well done!" I do the honors and call you all friends In this ceremony of peace here's the Priest Offering Shoot outs, drugs, liquor stores, broken projects Where niggas jet, D's predict a war, I jog up my steps I hear "Freeze, nigga hit the floor", a yard from my rest I drop my keys, someone click the door, I jumped in the apartment I swear my heart left, that time I dodged death, I said "God Bless" Salute the gamblers one shuffled up a card deck Ran in the room, dice game going on, ice chains, folded arms Niggas in a cipha, one dude low Throw them bones across the floor, 'cause my thoughts of war Is going fast, I ran in frantic, panic, damage I paint Sanskrit across my canvas, outlandish Watch the constellations take shape My concious elevate like binoculars Eye on the great space probing along the face of the deep To below on Earth, where the cops chases the creeps and the thieves "Priest, lead us out of hell like Moses" Pass the snakes, all the vultures, the Greek sculptures On the court buildings, chalk ceilings with cross revealings The lost children, they keep oppressing us, this the Exodus Cops arresting us, so press your luck Peace and togetherness, forever kids Imperative, we free our heritage flee from the devilish habitat Black on black, crimes and crack, 9's we clap They cuff your wrist behind your back The ghetto's infested with drugs and police A wino with no teeth, rose and said "Priest, go preach!" He had flames in his eyes, told me it wasn't from wine Opened his arms and showed me his signs, then read my mind And said yea I look familiar, you saw me when you stared in the mirror Drop off his dusty blanket And what was standing there, was a king's ancient royal robes With diamonds and rubies, God's beauty, life's truly a blessing In my essence, Priest, I slid the lid back off my coffin This happens often, before I started speaking, I start coughing Then I said I'm back with another classic called The Offering It started storming and hailing The church started reeling, the preacher falling over the pew Peep another view, I'm writing lyrics, while fighting spirits, they poking pitchforks A hooker lip gloss, smears on my cheek, she threw her kiss off While trying to stick a dagger through the Priest [Interlude: Killah Priest] Beyond The Offering, (I can never do that man) {This is The Offering} See the elephants coming (Yeah) {This is The Offering} (Behold stand up) Uh [Killah Priest] It starts off I used to fingerpaint while in class The teacher sorted me to see a shrink, 'cause my craft Was sorta different from the other students for instance when I would color I would cut my finger smear the blood to describe a slain hustler The painted brothers was seen in my drawing then that got boring Then I moved to pictures with glitter on glue A book of rhymes of street niggas I knew, roasting My brain's turning on a spit slow motion Flames are lit within my skull there's a thousand bulbs Rotisserie shit lyrics I can't get warm I'm too piping hot
