Time (Explicit) Lyrics
Time (Explicit) - Killah Priest
My life flashes I'm eight years old
My face stares cold
At the pastor as he picks up the robe
He reads a chapter his voice is like grabbin' my soul
The seeds turn blacker and finally it fades out slow
The hearing after a whole brand new screen show
I hear laughter it's my birthday
I'm eighteen years old
I'm on gates between Monroe
Eight fiends and young hoes
The flake dreams with gun blows
Wake screams and blunt rose
Up they lit it some hit it I'm drunk
So much that I can't see straight
Another flash I'm in a fancy place
A waiter walks over hands me a plate
I trance it to escape but it's too late
I shoot my casket my moms screamin' bastard
Ya'll know who killed them filled them with them lugers
Ruger you God d**n hoodlums
But it's too late I see the king in the New Jerusalem
I can touch the gates
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I dream it feels like a nation listen
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I dream it feels like a nation listen
Was this my fate
To be judged in this place
Angels watchin' me I step up to plead my case
I see his face in black space okay let me back space
Somethin' went front between that gat and my waste
Somethin' went wrong between the slow reaction
When they were clappin' my way
Is this the judgment
The place where every thug has been
After hearin' gun fire and slugs go in
Are you the chosen or the one known as the omen
The gates are open
I wanna know where I'm going
Is this the place I was destined to come
I slept in the slums
Next to a bum saw death pestilence and guns
I was born cold naked and young
Mouth open rings slashin' off of cardboard
Wettin' my tongue
We prayed for the shepherd to come
I was called a monster I was a youngster
Crawlin' out the dumpster toes were bloody
Clothes we muddy
Eyes were crummy peeped to the skies above me
Cried I'm ugly found out this life don't love me
Despised by the country paralyzed in my one knee
Talked to the most high Priest hug me real real
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I dream it feels like a nation listen
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I dream it feels like a nation listen
No no no no no no no
Priesthood Savoy Murda
G-13 what's poppin' oh no no no
No it's real it's real
It's real just sing it when it's real
It's real it's real it's real it's real
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I dream it feels like a nation listen
Time keep on ticking
Stay focused ain't no time for politicking
Got to keep our young brothers out of prison
Every day I dream it feels like a nation listen
