Killah Priest
Other Side Of The Moon
[Intro/Refrain]
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
[Verse 1]
The [?] flies away with [?] like brown wings
Winter creeps in like a polar bear
Swinging at it, just missing it seems
The ground is white, the air is cold
The now is night, they proceed to roll
Guns tucked, here comes the trucks, they pull up
Proceed with caution, he begins to walking
Coming over, closer and closer
The tinted windows goes down, slower and slower
He notice a pair of eyеs are blue
He stoppеd dead in his shoes, both eyes were glued
He started slowly backing up
The undercover steady asking, “Hey kid, what’s up?”
He throws his packs and runs
Now pan out to the moon, you hear the sound of a gun
A mother having nightmares of her son
On the other side of the moon
[Refrain]
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
[Verse 2]
Winter slowly leaves, irritated from the small bites of spring
Turning winter rules into green
It leaves a slush blood, kids roll over in mud
Couples in love, you work out your muscles, hit the club
Cats still hustle they drugs
Weed, E, dudes vibe out to CDs
Who’s the best rapper? Who dress dapper?
Who got sex? Who ass is fatter?
You read the paper? Damn, OJ went gangsta
I just heard they sent that kid from Texas to the chamber
Shots rang but it’s not much danger
It’s Fourth of July, an officer go by
Ant coming out the bodega with some chips
I think to myself, damn, what a crazy day
Crazy day
[Refrain]
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
[Verse 3]
The summer comes in with great golden wings
Lands folded them right over spring
The trees [?] or the grass start to sing
Children on swings
Under his feather is room for millions of dreams
Look again, the brother rapping
His mind’s a magnet
Laws of attraction, breaking atoms in fragments
Dragnet tries to harass him
He laughs, no other rapper can match him
[?] spaceship, Kangol helmet
He talks to the galaxy, shines when they see him
They go, “there’s a black Elvis”
His tongue spits mercury
Two globes under his arms, they said, “there’s a black Hercules”
The [?] [?], secret word spells out Priest
Compelled to teach
And that’s word to Lucifer Graves and two thirds of y’all slaves
My words etched in a cave near the Pyramids of Giza
Then you find the palms of the tarot reader
The pharaoh sends arrows to Caesar
Load the gun barrel with the tips soaked with blood of Jesus
Sanctified rap, this is gangster ties, give me dap, n***a
[Refrain]
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
On the other side of the moon
Just another day
Just another night
Other side of the moon
