Killah Priest
September Summer
[Intro]
If you love something, keep it, you really cherish it
You know what it is
Keep it in your heart
And your heart talks to you
Your mouth begins beating
Moments of joy, sorrow
[Verse 1]
In a September summer I went to ends I never thought I’ll see again
My loss, I never put my belief in a cross
I rather turn to the sun in the east with my feet in the north
December summers, enjoying the beach while I walk
Since I was younger, righteous music, I’m keeping the torch
Man, I planted a rainbow, clawed at the sky ’til it was wrinkled
After the pain, I’m rolling my trees like mangos
The summer’s gone, all it left me was shrubs of basil
I figure I’ll bottle it for seasons to come
They say when the loved ones die, it freezes the Sun
Patty cake, patty cake, the son of man
Black hair dye hundreds of cans
The mummy that they burned from the sand was a king from Sudan
I’m under a trance from ancestors who danced around fires and chant
Rulers of the oldest empires gave me the chance
[Sample]
For ages undecipherable had slowly begun to unravel the mystery
[Refrain]
Praise
Praise
Praise
[Verse 2]
As cunning as the fox set my watch on the box
Ancient astronauts, yesterday it’s aliens, today it was robots
CBS was the cyclops, PBS was the peacock
The dollar bill was the Cheops
I build on Elijah, Melchizedek and Enoch
Summer equinox, something over people, crops
Will of Ezekiel came as seagulls
Pray it shoots off cathedral tops
Soda pops came from candy shops
Melanin is my sunblock
We live on the third rock, where we love Biggie and 2pac
When winter comes, the bird flocks
Crowds run when they heard shots
Cookouts and block parties, used to pop lock
That’s when girls played jumprope and hopscotch
Steve Austin versus Sasquatch
It had me hooked when Run-D.M.C. did “Rock Box”
[Refrain]
Praise
Praise
Praise
[Verse 3]
Now they take Tylenol, Adderall, Oxy’s, molly
Cali, sunshine, gun climbs
Frontline, one time
Fuck a nine, one rhyme
Some lines make you think
Play with ink on paper plates
Barber chair, razor shape my charming face
Chartered space bars create a darker race
Gods relate, conversate on Mars estate
Concentrate on higher planes
I am change
Science reigns
Rhymes are flames
Crying game, blinded rage
Blinded by ten percent and the sins of the hypocrite
The ignorant, two sides when the nickel flip
The Most High in the crystal glyphs
I read it with prophet lips and speak on apocalypse
The keys to the bottomless
Emcees on the bottom list
I squeeze with the Tommy grip
They flee from the consciousness like when the comet hits
Priest, a.k.a. Anonymous
Stand through the ages like monuments of the [?]
[Sample]
Inscriptions on rocks and walls of ancient cities
[Refrain]
Praise
