Killah Priest - If I Die lyrics
*rain and thunder*
[chorus x2: sauldin]
Now I lay me down to sleep
II pray the lord that my soul he keeps
If I should diebefore I awake
II pray the lord that my soul he takes
[killah priest]
If I diemay the sky turn forever grey
Neglect the moon of a lightturn the sun beige
May the lord open up every grave
Every prophet that was slayed
May they roam the earth for thousands days
Give 'em a body of a slave
May the lord strike this earth with pestilence and plagues
If I ever laymay they cover me with weedashhip and sage
Merry thug raidmay they bust in gauge
Merry judge praywhen they lower my cage
And my flesh return to wet clay
From which I was mademy bones rot and decay
If I rest eternalmay the lords send great inferno
Till this day I write my journal
Journalurban journal
(lord)
[chorus]
[killah priest]
Dear heavenly father
The reason why I stand at your gates holdin two revolvers
Cuz down on earth I had mad drama
Protect my body from the tabernacle of robbers
I pray that an angel take my body
Before the doctors have a chance to do an autopsy
Buryin me near bob marleyor even haley salassie
Surround me by his israeli posse
What I know shocks methe seven heads of juliani
Six-six-sixilluminatiand lord makes shorty mummify me
I put every word in my diary
So in timeevery eye can see
Send death to the worldthat's haunted
Kill 'em with tormentlet the beast risethat lies dorment
No more life insurance or police warrantsfor me
[chorus x1.5]
[killah priest]
When I was borngynacologists surrounded my womb
Now I'm bornarcheologists surroundin my tomb
They suit me up in perfumein that small church room
Don't cryI be back to earth soon
Felt the fever of thieves in my blood
Born to live after the sunset of the world
If we die of another man's ignorance
Remember lordthey ain't innocent
Before they acted nigger-ishtasted hell bitterness
Swallow my tonguelike a liquorice
Thoughrunnin through his naked wilderness
Mad as a jackalwith the dry mouth
That prowls the grave at the time of drought
Bury me near king david
Somewhere in the oasis
Fill my body with godly fragrance
May I sleep with the ancient
Feed my flesh to the ravens
Wish death on every peagan
If I finish my night in some gutter with my throat cut
By some fake friends who had me doped up
Fill this whole planet with smoke and such
If I'm murdered like abrah'
May I fall in the arms of an angel
Fuck a close friendthey can change too
Return to the earth as gairulehostin my own funeral
Lookin unusualmay the earth choke and spit up my coffin
Use my body as an offeringGod bless my offsprings
(show him the way)
If I die tonight
(show him the way)
[chorus x3]
