From Then Till Now - Killah Priest

Peace Killah Priest 
Peace  wassup man? 
Chillin baby 
I'm with you 
Yo.. I wanna know what's goin on 
Ever since that Basic Instruction  Before Leavin Earth 
I wanna know what you gonna do for us right now 
It's been a while baby  we waitin! 
I've just been chillin  been chillin 
I been in the lab writin and stuff y'know? 
I just been on my  y'know  knowhatI'msayin on some 
Guns  shootouts and crack sales 
Black males who pack jails, trapped in hell 
No peace, cold streets, surrounded by po-lice 
this whole week, buildings with no heats 
No lights, the gas pipes the snow leaks 
Dog fights and lowlife throw dice the whole night 
Thieves, creepin 
in the midnight evenings, saw through the misty regions 
Go to your house, take a vial for the demons 
Moon in, the lunar eclipse 
Prophets stand in the midst of the seven candlesticks 
I can't take it, beauty that was once sacred 
is now gettin facelifts, fake tits, and fake lips 
Cold embraces 
Memory erases, from the slaveships 
My princess, I used to spot her from a distance 
Holdin my infant, burnin incense 
The moment intent, for her to step into my wife tents 
Now we step in pre-sents, for your ebony prince 
The small of frankencense; once treated like a pharoah 
With royal apparel, annointed 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 Qe'ron 
Towers of Lebanon, the pool of Gechron 
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 turn to snitches 
Women turn to bitches, in the time of harvest
