Killah Priest - Ghetto Government lyrics
"they got me so uptight" --> unknown singer
[chorus 1: hell razah]
We form the ghetto government
You either hate us or you lovin it
Ghetto government for those who strugglin
*repeat 4x*
[hell razah (killah priest)]
We form a congress wit our conscience
Here to fight against eden for our freedom til it get accomplished
(we make the whole world astonished
See us with our macabee-an garments
They bow down and pay homagewe God sent
Movin through this evil world with a compass
Niggaz die over nonsensewhen the koran spit)
We hit ya soul like a vietnam hit
The whitehouse be the projects
We study all that evil dialect
Dead sea scrolls of a prophet
With the mindstate we movin objects
It be the livin word that's heard in your eardrums
You gotta digest (which king gotta die next?
I'm on the street corner taking side bets
>from set-trippinangels of death slip in
Which that cat wit the tech grippin
We straight crippinblue flags and durags
Other cats got they red outcars sped out)
[chorus 2: killah priest *singing*]
I am king of bethlehem
We sit upon the throne
Thousands die before us
This is a story of a fallen kingdom
*repeat 2x*
[killah priest]
A full moon glowslight reflects off of my gold
Seven men with shields of david on top of they post
Soft wind blowsbreath through my silk blue robe
After I feastfall asleep between my seven pillows
Feel my eyes closethen a motion picture screen show
See the world like looking through a foggy window
See a large cliff of thugssome crips and some bloods
Neantha'slatin kingsbroken homes and shattered dreams
They gather in teams around jacob's ladder
Set up robots and make them scatter
Cops watch them on they tv cameras
They move in one manner
When the speakrhinos stand up
Throw they hands up and make the cops take off they handcuffs
Other thugs thats trapped up in back of vans and the bus
On their way to riker'sam I enlighther?
It's now lifeI'm put in ciphers
Ever since I was put in diapers
Over six million passengers ships from africa
After the jerusalem massacre
After king soloman we wore lavender
See the david from the slaveships
Now they call us africans 'cause or skin match with them
But that's a lot of foolishso they can over rule us
[chorus 2]
[chorus 1: 2x]
[hell razah]
Knights at the square tableshare bread at last supper
Lost seek to fulfill their propheciessuffer
We discuss the proverbs in soloman's words
Livin in visions of danielrevelation dreams
Hebrew kings choppin off the eagle wings
Second excellenceno moresexliesdrugs and pestilence
My evidencemy own testamentwritten on wood
Twelve tribes layin at the head of corners in hoods
Idol worshippersblasphemersthieves and murderers
Adulterersholdin sexuals in land burglerers
New york city dressed pretty with 'lectricity
Blackoutcomputers shut down2000 assed out
Reset the internet chipcommunication wit
Gabrielle in a spaceshipfrom a basement
Apocalypse childwars any sore playground
Jews and gentlesfed generation x-files
Cuz me and wisdom got a loyal marriage
We not africansindians nor we arabs
What?
[chorus 1: 4x]
