[00:01.80]Yeah, Black August, Priesthood
[00:04.51]Wanna know how I got here?
[00:06.34]How it all came to be?
[00:08.10]My beginning?, yo
[00:09.94][Killah Priest]
[00:10.82]A dark December eve my mother conceive a species
[00:12.67]Some sorta rare breed believed to be of gods seed
[00:15.31]With royal blood flowing thru her jeans
[00:17.13]Answer would come to her in her dreams
[00:18.92]The child you bare is a king
[00:20.83]He's the heir
[00:21.71]Magnificent chair
[00:23.54]Also shall wear the rings
[00:25.38]Till I give em a pair of wings
[00:26.20]In January she fought off bats
[00:28.08]The fbi firing gats even lying (lion) attaks
[00:31.68]Running from wolf packs thru the woods black
[00:33.45]Never look back
[00:34.35]A serpent bit her on the leg
[00:36.19]But she took that
[00:37.04]From February till june four months of gloom
[00:39.72]2 more months before their doom
[00:41.69]They try to consume a child inside my mothers womb
[00:43.45]She withstand the hurricanes and twisters reading scriptures
[00:47.92]Earthquakes till my birth date I was given
[00:50.62]Even slay the first born children
[00:53.34]It was bone chillen
[00:55.18]July 30th came
[00:56.04]But that wasn't me it was my nephew
[00:58.78]God bless you
[00:59.74]He took the first cause you was special
[01:01.54]Then it was august
[01:03.39]She felt something enormous in her organs
[01:04.29][Chorus 2x: Killah Priest]
[01:05.15]My beginning and the ending while the world is spinning
[01:06.94]Menage's with strange women the devil grinning
[01:08.72]But I gottta keep my head above water
[01:11.43]Molded without the martyr black august and I'm the author
[01:15.96][Killah Priest]
[01:25.05]They knew the time and the date of my arrival
[01:28.65]Doctors and preachers opening bibles
[01:30.40]Philosophers stood wondering
[01:32.26]The sky thundering
[01:34.00]Inhaling old widows wailing
[01:36.79]Windows open
[01:37.76]Wind blowing curtains across my head forming a turban
[01:40.48]Do not disturb him a stranger said
[01:42.27]Standing at the side of my bed placed a crown upon my head
[01:46.72]My eyes were black pearls staring at the map of the world
[01:48.52]Born to conquer the angel then handed me my armor
[01:52.17]Killed in my honor revealed to me where I should wander
[01:55.86]Until time for take over
[01:57.64]Y'all reigns been great but now its over
[02:00.36]Now I lounge in castles surrounded by great statues
[02:03.91]A pool of jewels old kings swimming thru women and rings
[02:06.66]A joyous time so sing
[02:08.48][Chorus 2x]
[02:09.36][Killah Priest]
[02:31.96]I was born 40 nights its stormed hell spawned
[02:32.83]I latched onto my mothers arms
[02:35.54]Writing my name my pen became somewhat of a chain
[02:39.11]A beard grew intuition given me a clear view
[02:41.98]My hair turning white
[02:43.65]Perm like snoop dogs
[02:45.59]I seen black boots in the fog
[02:47.33]Skeletons and army fatigues
[02:49.18]Dead friends warn me thru dreams like Ebonezier Scrooge
[02:52.71]I shall lead the schools show them secrets of the ancient masters
[02:56.36]Studies language chapters pages after
[02:59.05]Black August
[02:59.96][Chorus 2x]
