[Intro : Killah Priest]
|
Yeah, Black August, Priesthood
|
Wanna know how I got here?
|
How it all came to be?
|
My beginning?, yo
|
|
[Killah Priest]
|
A dark December eve my mother conceive a species
|
Some sorta rare breed believed to be of gods seed
|
With royal blood flowing thru her jeans
|
Answer would come to her in her dreams
|
The child you bare is a king
|
He's the heir
|
Magnificent chair
|
Also shall wear the rings
|
Till I give em a pair of wings
|
In January she fought off bats
|
The fbi firing gats even lying (lion) attaks
|
Running from wolf packs thru the woods black
|
Never look back
|
A serpent bit her on the leg
|
But she took that
|
From February till june four months of gloom
|
2 more months before their doom
|
They try to consume a child inside my mothers womb
|
She withstand the hurricanes and twisters reading scriptures
|
Earthquakes till my birth date I was given
|
Even slay the first born children
|
It was bone chillen
|
July 30th came
|
But that wasn't me it was my nephew
|
God bless you
|
He took the first cause you was special
|
Then it was august
|
She felt something enormous in her organs
|
|
[Chorus 2x : Killah Priest]
|
My beginning and the ending while the world is spinning
|
Menage's with strange women the devil grinning
|
But I gottta keep my head above water
|
Molded without the martyr black august and I'm the author
|
|
[Killah Priest]
|
They knew the time and the date of my arrival
|
Doctors and preachers opening bibles
|
Philosophers stood wondering
|
The sky thundering
|
Inhaling old widows wailing
|
Windows open
|
Wind blowing curtains across my head forming a turban
|
Do not disturb him a stranger said
|
Standing at the side of my bed placed a crown upon my head
|
My eyes were black pearls staring at the map of the world
|
Born to conquer the angel then handed me my armor
|
Killed in my honor revealed to me where I should wander
|
Until time for take over
|
Y'all reigns been great but now its over
|
Now I lounge in castles surrounded by great statues
|
A pool of jewels old kings swimming thru women and rings
|
A joyous time so sing
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
|
[Killah Priest]
|
I was born 40 nights its stormed hell spawned
|
I latched onto my mothers arms
|
Writing my name my pen became somewhat of a chain
|
A beard grew intuition given me a clear view
|
My hair turning white
|
Perm like snoop dogs
|
I seen black boots in the fog
|
Skeletons and army fatigues
|
Dead friends warn me thru dreams like Ebonezier Scrooge
|
I shall lead the schools show them secrets of the ancient masters
|
Studies language chapters pages after
|
Black August
|
|
[Chorus 2x]
|
