Greatest Lesson

[movie sample] Our reason for fighting is this.. We were only meant to fight in one war only That battle between the sons of light.. And the sons of darkness, ordained by God That is our service Now we see that this is that battle and we will fight.. Under your command [Killah Priest *humming the beat during sample*] Priesthood.. [Verse 1] I stepped in a church ashamed, naked and hurt Wet from the rain, my face shows pain I'm desperate in search for answers Grabbed the pamphlet that the ushers handed Blood stain shown through my shirt Cause beneath, my arm was bandaged I walked up the aisle but didn't stop 'til I got the altar I was being blocked by the preacher's supporters But he'd seen my torture So-called friends filled me with false love I spoke "Sorry I have nothing to offer But lost hope and an empty soul" See the Devil tempts me like Jobe, everything I had I now owe He took my girl, shook my world, lost my crib It was all his except for my kids That's what I thought 'til I'm at court with my wiz She doubled-crossed me then slid She forced me to live in solitude now the bottle's my food I follow no rules but if the gospel is true Then I'm his apostle like you But he stopped me cold and called me a fool He said I was rude the way I'd intrude Then I tossed him this jewel.. [Chorus] The greatest thing I've ever known.. Greatest thing I've ever known.. The greatest lesson ever learned.. The greatest lesson ever learned.. Most precious thing I've ever owned.. Most precious thing I've ever owned.. Though it left it shall return.. Though it left it shall return.. All I know is what I've known.. All I know is what I've known.. The greatest lesson ever learned.. The greatest lesson ever learned.. Most precious thing I've ever owned.. Most precious thing I've ever owned.. Though it left it shall return.. Though it left it shall return.. [Verse 2] You judge me but what would you do if you was me? If you saw through my eyes If you've felt the pain that I've felt inside What would you do? Would you cry? Ah, thought so, I do sometimes.. See you have a home and a swimming pool, the big backyard (yeah?) Large living room, fed with a silver spoon You probably sinning too but don't know Pardon me if I'm offending you but I won't go I question my faith, been in a depressional state (yeah man) Self-hate, one day blessings will wait Stared death in his face, planning my 'scape I've seen D's stretching out tape I've 'visioned prison dates, injected with the venom of snakes Women with grapes, slept with in rooms pyramid-shaped Walls covered with hieroglyphics, I'm far from religious It was said in my first introduction Which was Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth For me it went deeper than just reading a verse Seeing it first, I needed work [Hook] [Outro: Killah Priest] You know it's real, K.P The picking cot had been lockened Daily..
