Tekst piosenki

[Intro: fan (Killah Priest]

Peace Killah Priest (peace, wassup man?)

Chilling baby (I'm with you)

Yo, I wanna know what's going on

Ever since that Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth

I wanna know what you gonna do for us right now

It's been a while baby, we waiting

I've just been chilling, been chilling

(I been in the lab writing and stuff y'know?

I just been on my, y'know, know what I'm saying on some)


[Verse 1: Killah Priest]

Guns, shootouts and crack sales

Black males who pack jails, trapped in Hell

No peace, cold streets, surrounded by police

This whole week, buildings with no heats

No lights and gas pipes with slow leaks

Dog fights and lowlife throw dice

The whole night thieves creeping in the midnight evenings

We saw through the misty regions

Go to your house, take a vial for the demons

Moonlit, the lunar eclipse

Prophets stand in the midst of the seven candlesticks

I can't take it, beauty that was once sacred

Is now getting facelifts, fake tits

And fake lips, cold embraces

Memory erases, from the slave ships

My princess, I used to spot her from a distance

Holding my infant, burning incense

The moment intent for her to step into my white tents

Now we step in precincts for your ebony prince

The smell of frankincense, once treated like a Pharaoh

With royal apparel, anointed with myrrh and aloe

We used to wallow amongst the mallows

We had herd sheep and cattle, now we battle

Used to pass over brooks of Kidron

Towers of Lebanon, the pool of Gershom

We used to sing songs upon Mount Hebron

How is gold turned to bronze and shhh

How is gold turned to bronze

We was the wisest and the richest, now we turned to snitches

Women turn to bitches, in the time of harvest

We was the smartest, worshipped Wisdom like the Goddess

Now we act retarded, forsook the Wisdom of the Fathers

We used to have a thousand flagons of wine

In Palestine, now we drink Ballentine

And raise up in the violent mind

We used to have a hundred measures of oil

Eighty measures of wheat and barley, we live Godly

Listening to Bob Marley, before the devils robbed me

Chasing us through the African safaris

[Chorus: Killah Priest]

From Then Till Now

What goes up must come down

What goes down comes back around again

Where it all began, began, began, began

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now

(repeat 2X)


[Verse 2: Killah Priest]

Singing holy anthems, lamping with all my handsome grandsons

Hair long as Samson, inside my gold mansion

They used to wear purple Pampers

But now we Black Panthers, some are actors and dancers

It's funny how the dollar bill have my seeds holla for meals

Mother swallowing pill

Roads seem hollow but still, grab a bottle to heal

It's like a noose of seventh seal over Brownsville

What's the difference between the ghetto and death row?

I'm trapped up with kleptos, the Tec blows

I'm left to say a flow, where the cries echo

And echo and echo and echo and echoes

From the Crystal City, near Getti

Children used to grow on lilies, now they roll up Phillies

But the Pyramids of Cheops is my weed spot

Sometimes I eavesdrop in the books of Enoch

We went from studying epistles of Paul

Beneath a waterfall, rubbing crystal balls

But now we spray paint initials on the wall

On the wall, spray paint initials on the wall


[Chorus: Killah Priest]

From Then Till Now

What goes up must come down

What goes down comes back around again

Where it all began, began, began, began

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now

(repeat 3X)
