[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
