Time Lyrics by Killah Priest

The Eternal Thought of Killah Priest (Bootleg)

0

[Intro: sample]
I know how tough it is *gunshot*

[Verse 1: Killah Priest]
My life flashes, I'm eight years old, my face stares cold
At the pastor, as he picks up the roll
He reads a chapter, his voice is like, grabbin' my soul
The scenes turn blacker and finally it fades out slow
The hear and after, a whole brand new screen show
I hear laughter, it's my birthday, I'm 18 years old
I'm on gates between Monroe, eight fiends and young hoes
Inflate dreams with gun blows, wake screams and blunt rose
Up, they lit it, some hit it, I'm drunk
So much, that I can't see straight
Another flash, I'm in a fancy place
A waiter walks over, hands me a plate, I trance into escape
But it's too late, I see my casket, my moms screamin' bastard
Y'all know who killed them, filled them with them lugers
The ruger, you goddamm hoodlums
But it's too late, I see the king in the New Jerusalem
I can touch the gates

[Chorus: Savoy]
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I breathe it feels like a mission, listen
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I breathe it feels like a mission, listen

[Verse 2: Killah Priest]
Was this my fate, to be judged in this place?
Angels watchin' me, I step up to plead my case
I see his face in black space, okay let me back trace
Somethin' went wrong between that gat in my waist
Somethin' went wrong between the slow reaction when they were clappin' my way
Is this the judgment, the place where every thug has been
After hearin' gun fire, and slugs go in
Are you the chosen, or the one known as the Omen
The gates are open, I wanna know where I'm going?
Is this the place I was destined to come, I slept in the slums
Next to a bum, saw death pestilence and guns
I was born cold, naked and young
Mouth open, rain's splashin' off of cardboard, wettin' my tongue
We prayed for the shepherd to come
I was called a monster, I was a youngster, crawled out the dumpster
Toes were bloody, clothes we muddy
Eyes were cruddy, peeped to the skies above me
Cried I'm ugly, found out this life don't love me
Despised by the country, paralyzed in my one knee
Talked to the Most High, Priest, hug me, real, real

[Chorus: Savoy]
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I breathe it feels like a mission, listen
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I breathe it feels like a mission, listen

[Interlude: Savoy]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Priesthood, Savoy Murda
G-13, what's poppin', oh, no, no, no
No, it's real, it's real
It's real, just sing it when it's real
It's real, it's real, it's real, it's real

[Chorus]
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I breathe it feels like a mission, listen
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused, ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I breathe it feels like a mission, listen
