Vintage (Things We Shared)

(Priest talking) One more time, uh, yeah Magnetic, uh, Priesthood Godz Wrath (Behind the Stained Glass) [Verse 1: Killah Priest] Let the Earth bring forth grass The herb yield seeds, the fruit fall from trees Working daily are the honey bees Then all kinds came abundantly And everybody in the jungle free But times change, now it's guns that squeeze Crime family smuggle ki's USA is a large company ran by quiet societies Privately the hood diaries of Brooklyn killers in the '80s Harlem was heaven, project legends Supreme had Queens; the Bronx was repping Then the west Coast let go With gang-banging, the game changed then With "Batman" and Raymond Washington The streets in Watts begun No cops will come, what block you from? [Chorus: Killah Priest] Our ancestors brought from Africa on slave ships Now return in the air in first class trips Passenger six, window seat, relax I'm viewing the fish The trees, the seas are blue like the jewels on my fist From the islands of Costa Rica we share that same light Children play with marbles of gold, return the plight We share the same light; we share that same life [Verse 2: Killah Priest] We weren't enslaved cause our color Look in the Bible page and you'll discover The real reason why we suffered We fit the prophecies in Deuteronomy They took the true Jewish colonies And brought 'em to a new economy Through Willie Lynchings philosophies and brutality And through poverty we lost numerology Once in tuned with the galaxies No we only see using weed astrology We took up a blunt culture Lost memories, last night fights from being hungover Young soldiers become sober Deuteronomy 28, verse 28 will set the record straight It states that he will struck us with "madness and blindness Confusion", no power or refinement, no movement Now take a look around at our environment Drugs supplying, guns firing While the president is hiding And we admire them, white police patrol there But they don't leave near So they don't care who gets killed here Or confined to a wheelchair Our ignorance made them billionaires Verse 29 says we will be exploited on our long voyage Unemployment for their enjoyment No longer called the anointed But coons, niggers, and spooks From Bojangles, Jiggas and Snoop These deuteronomic codes expose Our dishonouring roles Verse 30, I will send you and your king To a nation that neither you or your fathers have known The valley of dry bones [Chorus: Killah Priest] Our ancestors brought from Africa on slave ships Now return in the air in first class trips Passenger six, window seat, relax I'm viewing the fish The trees, the seas are blue like the jewels on my fist From the islands of Costa Rica we share that same light Children play with marbles of gold, return the plight We share the same light; we share that same life
