Essential

The night's a dark lord well dressed seducing our sun Upon the dawning of her full day he usually would come Galloping upon his winged horse Leaving trails of stars across the planet the night scene of New York Comes to life with lights pubs clubs with thugs Mobsters gangsters criminals dealers with drugs Loud music crowds are moving up and down blocks In and out of spots cops watch for a foul shooting So how we moving my soul scour through the clouds Where the moon ah sit Like the wise owl searching through a gloomy mist 6 will bring a casket down to its tomb Another child gets pushed through the uterus From the womb we're intuitive Eternal peace or damnation depending what we do with it A genius or a lunatic A general or a fugitive it's essential... (Hook) IT'S ESSENTIAL (Talking) Word IT'S ESSENTIAL to be a man of your word Take care of your seeds To the young kids honor your mother The greedy night is full of demon smiles And every hustler wear horns And every fiend comes from the ground The FBI got satellite radars screening our child Jacking off to our chaos the beast get aroused There's another world with under bosses rich not into flossing Put hits on certain lawmen Who pick who runs for office If they switch then the guns are brought in Who parted with professional ball players with big endorsements Who love to trick on hoes that sniff blow in bathroom toilets They alcoholics go through mad divorces See their wives in the papers with half their fortune Then there's the mob leaving tips a hundred bucks at the bar Big spenders around the dealers shuffling cards Evil laughter puffing cigars In a room full of goons tats cover their bullet wounds Rats are pulled from lagoons Mexican mob doing shots of tequila live niggas Throwing up knots in their pictures With gang signs at the same time If crack was awards and could frame 9s You would have plaques and coke scale and money stacks But there's another party with Presidents CIA intelligence The federal defense Executives with the Aliens Iraqis and Israelians And by the time of my demise the one who talk to Cain shall rise The second time while Abel blood rains from the skies And who knows where my soul will fly I'm near a cemetery On top of a dark hillside it's essential... (Hook) IT'S ESSENTIAL (Talking) Everything's ESSENTIAL To the single black mothers who handling business Always about their paper and doing their numbers IT'S ESSENTIAL Knowwhatimean? To the youth out there... Be a soldier Take care of yours Keep it health Always keep a clear mind Look at the world in front of you Know Snow fills the night air, as the wind throws her thick white hair Across her face icicles appear fall from space Like tears white frost light flakes I'm with my peers remorse at the wakes So many cats I know I lost his way Sprayed up by bullets I'm in my Woolrich We cross them graves my man spoke mad hoarse from pain he said "Yo Priest, just think of what lost today" The city lights look like the ice around a rich man's wrist Where every hustler big dreamer prays it grants them a wish By myself right off the belt till hit the Van Wyck Cruising jigsaw my thoughts I need a plan to exist Should I get on it like them Cuban Guerillas? Fly to their country make a truce with their killers Move in a villa I come with few of my niggas they come with theirs We politic on struggle and social affairs while toasting beers My man had cunning ideas to get rich with mobsters But what if it didn't prosper? Look what they did to Hoffa My feet buried in the sand out in Nicaragua Or on a cruise out to Venezuela On a ship with a pool designer clothes and expensive tailors Sipping cappuccino favorite flavor is French vanilla Exotic foods catching shrimps no more menace failure The Offering is the movie my others albums were just trailers I can't hardly sit through the news watching fictional tool Political views the sky is dark as the original Jews Subliminal clues left in the hieroglyphs Where the ancient empires exist Walk inside the cliffs in Cairo read papyruses On a wall full of gaul of Judas the disciple's kiss At the last supper nowadays it's the microchip in the skull My survival kit is a rifle clip (Hook) IT'S ESSENTIAL
