Killah Priest - Genesis lyrics

[Intro: Killah Priest]

Oh, no, hahaha... yeah

It's Priest back at ya.

The Genesis... genesis

My Genesis, uh, uh, genesis

Here it go baby... genesis..

[Chorus x2: Killah Priest]

Back in the days, it was much like this

Inspirations make me wanna reminisce

It's my genesis, it's the life, it's the love

It's my genesis, hook this mic to a plug

[Killah Priest]

Afros to box braids, locks and waves

Fades, to flat tops, it came, the boxing game

The bus stop, the pop locks and spades

Knuckles, doin' the hustle, I chuckle

That's me the young dude, playin' kung fu

Run to the store to get more junk food

Hero and a small Sundew, hard headed

That's why I flunked school, back in the days

When the Bishops and the Lords used to rumble

That's a Brooklyn thing, the hoodlum reign

Shots go off at block parties

Muslims and God Bodies and big posses

Different crews from different schools, it was school

Grandma watchin' the news, I'm dodgin' principals

Graffiti writers, guess who's on Riker's

Guess who's pregnant? Guess who's the lifer

To Laudi prom, robbin' the ciphers

Don't mess with Sun God, he's a fighter

It was, '80's, Michael Jackson and leather jackets

Bicycle fashion, my last words of a king when he's rapping

Swing flurries like a champ when he scrapping

Grew up fad, notepad, that's all I had

It's the only thing that bring me back to past

[Chorus x2]

[Killah Priest]

It's the Priest, bless like sheeps in white sheets

Clothes fit me like robes, right to the T

Pearls huggin', back up, me and wifey

It's so elegant, my words add flesh to skeletons

Once it's heard, it covers the flesh from element

It's the medicine, take it for the soul

It's better than gold, Proverbs, makes your pops burst

Starbust, above God's Earth

And the moonlight, I move like a Greek move degrees at night

I write movies that masterpiece, the cornerstones my poem

I lay bricks like a mason, my words can move a nation

Throw pens out the page, the same way you pull a pen out a grenade

And watch it explode, yo, my mind explode, divine and glow

Back to the days, where the rhymes was made

[Chorus x4]

[Outro: Killah Priest]

[singing along to the beat]

Yo, come on, let me hear ya'll sing it, it go

[singing along to the beat]

Heat it up, uh, Black August, take control, understand

Words of the Proverbs, heard... yeah.. uh.

Priesthood, where you at, boy? Yeah..

Joe..
