Killah Priest — Welcome

[Intro] Ahhh hahaha - come with me to the hood Killers, thieves and murderers [Verse 1] Beneath the pale Moon the night watches the goons Hop in the costume dressed as killer clowns as death feel the town Niggas surround, they see grave near the Merry-go-round Beneath the slave burial ground (What else you see?) There's blood on the pavement, there's thug in the station There's cops on patrol just watching with soul I turned hot to turn cold, something's burning my sole It's the brimstone, fill it when the wind blown Push my skin against the bones, I cringe as I smell a stitch from the chrome It's home, the projects, bitches gossip, the Glock clips Cops sit and just watch shit, when TV brainwashes The pain of the Projects, a slow process No progress, I'm held hostage with thieves Receive princely fees after they empty your sleeve The enemy squeeze TEC-9s, it's death and crime It's all stress, something left is blind It's the prognosis of Moses, the Jones', the hopeless The homeless, the oppress and slow death, souls are left No rest, shootouts everyday like the old West [Chorus] Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light [Verse 2] Each day I hunger, feeling my days are numbered If I go under, who will be there to raise my son up? Feeling discomfort, it's sounds like I'm hearing the trumpets Blowing across the skies feels like the spirits are coming By drilling and pumping, stealing is corruption Faced with womens' seductions, sinning and fucking, the beginning was nothing Genesis had forbidden from plucking from the trees Adam and Eve gathering leaves, the madness it sees The magnum will squeeze, handguns and weed From the days of Egyptian clay powders Since the days of grave robbers to the days of slave drivers On the Mayflowers, they gave us powder Nowadays are devoured, we're afraid of the power Like cowards we lay in the shower, pray for what's ours [Chorus] Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light [Verse 3] The Sun darkens, the Moon's covered with blood I'm in the projects, in a room with a couple of thugs We all share hugs, light candles Sitting in circles and read from the ghetto's manual As I open the book filled with crooks, thieves with dirty looks Pictures of killers and niggas and drug dealers We all get the chills but we still keep turning the page I'm burning some siege, beneath the red light bulbs Reading the life of thugs, saw the image of a Knight, some blood some gloves, some slugs, some ice, some fights in clubs Our revivals are like African, they mad tribal We close our eyes to the ghetto bible Have recitals, think all about our rivals Draw tattoos on our back too My man just got one of a fat pterodactyl, we eat fast food [Chorus] Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? Welcome into Earth's graveyard with shovels Or do you rather be amongst the living, enjoying your life? Observing the stars from a distance, the voyage of light Who'd you rather serve? God or Devil? [Outro: Killah Priest] Close the Book, that's enough Until next time, I'll tell you more tales More dark imagery and show you more pictures I'm out
