[Intro]
Darkness, the darkness comes upon the planet Earth
It's time to take out The Offering
[Verse One]
As the Sun fades within the horizon
The sky Orion is seen clear in the sphere planets aligning
The contrast changes fast in the vast
From a pink to a dark orange
It's turning darker to a bluish violet
Then finally the sky lit up with stars
The red one is Mars
The same star seen by the Three Wise Men
To find the child, lead us out of this blindness
And teach man peace, finally his kindness
Darkness brings the cold, so that change the climate
Stare at my wall, look at the thermometer
The red line slowly declining
Finally the sky's black is a raven's wings
That slowly flap down upon the Earth
The place where fiends doing base
Sirens are heard from police cars
Niggas on wall, their face cut-up with old beef scars
From street wars to prison yards
Or niggas meeting their ward
The result of niggas living hard
Gang rivals is all the same as tribal
If you're from Africa or you're in Attica
If you're a Bushmen or from Brooklyn
A nigga stab ya, or shank ya
The life of a gangsta
That's why often I think seldom I drink
Or felon with ink
Could make a whole difference to a melon that's blank
[Chorus]
Give a thug a heart, a gangsta a mind
Show a coward courage, we ahead of our time
Running toward the future, leaving the past
Blasting through millenniums till we evolve to gas
Through bright light, light Christ, white spirits visit
Through the night sight, bright light Christ, white spirits
Visit street lights, roll dice, soul on ice
Travel the globe like spirits, Priest controls the mic
[Verse Two]
I take off my jacket, my shirt, my skin, my flesh, my bones
My mind, my spirit, my essence, my soul
You asked for it - I gave it
From project buildings to the hard pavement
From the trees back to the grass
To the dirt to the black soil
Back to the Earth, right back to the universe
To nothingness, to nothing exists, just the abyss
No light, no sound, nothing around
No up, no down, no sky, no ground
But just thought inside a blackness small as a grain of salt
Mineral that evolved
Full circle till it revolve around planets
To finally man landed - upon the Earth canvas
Access to the atlas to the Moon shot-up
From one of his Grand Canyons, water spill
The order revealed that the author was real
Then Abraham, Ishmael to Israel
Then we learned to kill
Then the brothas - the firmament turned steel
To block our prayers, forgotten knowledge
And through millenniums is slowly close our chakras
Now in shootouts over dice games, the devil pitchfork
And the angels with the white wings, placing bets over our souls
Is it that infinite robe, until that infamous hole
All thrones where we hear the instruments of gold
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
They say when life forms; it forms in path that spiral
Flickering downward, a cosmic light shows
Up there in Mars amongst the stars
In that distance place beyond
Where living souls integrates called heaven
Or ether, where I'm headed is deeper
It's off the meters of spirits fled from reapers
If I lost believers, I bring 'em back thru thoughts I teach 'em
I sit wit Romans and their Greek leaders
Learned from Egyptians, here is a brief description
They're the one with the sun
Their energy can outlive infinity
No timeline, no calendar
Made from the days of Excalibur
No trick knowledge or bad math or division or algebra
From Kemet to chemistry
The mysteries pyramids where I live, no graves
No King higher beams, firing forth from the heavens
Around the knight in all his glory
The day he fights in battle
He stomps upon the bones of the dead pharaohs
Led by shadows, spirits from the black horse running toward the castle
Holding The Byzantine cross
The Dukes of York; all kneel low to draw bridge
They see me on top riding dragon in string of corpses
They say - "Peace Be Still"
"Priest my Lord we shall all die by the sword"
[Chorus]
