《Essential(Explicit)》歌词

[00:00:00] Essential - Killah Priest

[00:00:33] The night's a dark lord,

[00:00:34] Well dressed, inducing our Sun

[00:00:35] Upon the dawning of a full day

[00:00:37] He usually will come

[00:00:38] Galloping upon his winged horse

[00:00:40] Leaving trails of Stars across the planet,

[00:00:42] Night scene of New York

[00:00:43] Comes to life with lights, pubs,

[00:00:45] Clubs with thugs

[00:00:46] Mobsters, gangsters, criminals,

[00:00:48] Dealers with drugs

[00:00:49] Loud music, crowds are moving,

[00:00:51] Up and down blocks

[00:00:52] In and out of spots,

[00:00:53] Cops watch for a foul shooting

[00:00:55] So how're we moving?

[00:00:56] My soul scour through the clouds

[00:00:58] Where the moon'll sit

[00:00:59] Like the wise Owl searching

[00:01:00] Through a gloomy mist

[00:01:01] Six, or bring a casket down to his tomb

[00:01:04] Another child gets pushed

[00:01:06] Through the uterus

[00:01:07] From the womb we're intuitive,

[00:01:09] Eternal peace or damnation?

[00:01:11] Depending what we do with it,

[00:01:12] A genius or a lunatic?

[00:01:14] A general or a fugitive? It's 'Essential'

[00:01:17] Word!, it's 'Essential' to be a man

[00:01:21] Of your words

[00:01:23] Take care of your seeds,

[00:01:25] To the young kids,

[00:01:26] Honour your mother

[00:01:28] The greedy night is full

[00:01:29] Of demon's smiles

[00:01:30] And every hustler wear horns

[00:01:31] And every fiend comes from the ground

[00:01:33] The FBI got satellite radar

[00:01:35] Screening our child

[00:01:36] Jacking off to our chaos,

[00:01:38] The Beast get aroused

[00:01:39] There's another world with under bosses,

[00:01:41] Rich not into flossing

[00:01:42] Put hits on certain lawman,

[00:01:44] Who pick or run for office

[00:01:45] If they switch then

[00:01:46] The guns are brought in

[00:01:47] Who parted with professional ballplayers

[00:01:49] With big endorsements

[00:01:50] Who love to trick a hoe

[00:01:51] That sniff blowing bathroom toilets

[00:01:53] They're alcoholics,

[00:01:54] Going through mad divorces

[00:01:56] See their wives in the papers

[00:01:57] With half their fortune

[00:01:59] Then there's the Mob - leaving tips,

[00:02:01] A hundred bucks at the bar

[00:02:02] Big spenders, around the dealer,

[00:02:04] Shuffling cards

[00:02:05] Evil laughter, puffing cigars,

[00:02:07] In a room full of goons

[00:02:09] Tats cover their bullet wounds,

[00:02:10] Rats are pulled from the Lagoons

[00:02:12] Mexican mob doing shots of tequila,

[00:02:14] Live niggaz

[00:02:15] Throwing up knots in their pictures

[00:02:17] With gang signs

[00:02:18] At the same time, if crack was a wars

[00:02:21] And you can frame nines

[00:02:22] You would have plaques of coke scales

[00:02:24] Of money stacks

[00:02:25] But there is another party with Presidents,

[00:02:27] CIA Intelligence

[00:02:29] The Federal Defense,

[00:02:30] Executives with the Aliens

[00:02:32] Iraqi's and Israelians

[00:02:34] And by the time of my demise

[00:02:36] The one who talked to Cane should rise

[00:02:37] The second time while

[00:02:38] Abel blood rain from the skies

[00:02:40] And who knows where my soul will fly?

[00:02:42] I'm in the cemetery

[00:02:43] On top of a dark hillside

[00:02:45] It's 'Essential'...

[00:02:46] Everything's 'Essential',

[00:02:48] To the single black mothers

[00:02:49] Who's handling business,

[00:02:51] Always about their paper

[00:02:52] And doing their numbers

[00:02:54] It's 'Essential', nah'mean?

[00:02:56] (It's Essential)

[00:02:57] To the youth out there - be a soldier

[00:03:00] Take care of yours, keep it health;

[00:03:03] Always keep a clear mind

[00:03:05] Look at the world in front of you,

[00:03:07] You know?

[00:03:07] Snow fills the night air as the wind

[00:03:09] Throws her thick white hair

[00:03:10] Across her face, icicles appear,

[00:03:12] Fall from space

[00:03:13] Like tears, white frosts like flakes

[00:03:16] I'm with my peers, remorse at the wake

[00:03:18] So many cats I know I lost this way

[00:03:20] Sprayed up by bullets,

[00:03:21] I'm in my woolrich

[00:03:22] We crossed them graves

[00:03:24] My man spoke mad hoarse from pain

[00:03:26] He said "Yo Priest, just think of

[00:03:28] What we've lost today"

[00:03:29] The city lights are like the ice

[00:03:30] Around the rich mans wrist

[00:03:32] Where every hustler, big dreamer,

[00:03:33] Praiser, grants or wish

[00:03:35] By myself, right off the Belt 'til

[00:03:36] I hit the Van Wyk

[00:03:37] Cruising, jigsaw my thoughts,

[00:03:38] I need a plan to exist

[00:03:40] Should I get on like them

[00:03:41] Cuban guerrillas?

[00:03:42] Fly to their country make a truce

[00:03:43] With their killers?

[00:03:44] Move in a Villa, come

[00:03:46] With few of my niggaz

[00:03:46] They come with theirs; we politic

[00:03:48] On struggle and social affairs

[00:03:50] While toasting beers,

[00:03:51] My man had cunning ideas to get

[00:03:53] Rich with mobsters

[00:03:54] But what if it didn't prosper?

[00:03:55] Look what they did to Hoffa

[00:03:56] My feet buried in the sands

[00:03:58] Out in Nicaragua

[00:03:59] Or on a cruise out to Venezuela

[00:04:01] On a ship with a pool,

[00:04:03] Designer clothes and expensive tailors

[00:04:05] Sipping cappuccino

[00:04:06] Favourite flavour French vanilla

[00:04:08] Exotic foods, catching shrimp,

[00:04:09] No more minutes failure

[00:04:10] The Offering's the movie;

[00:04:12] My other albums are just trailers

[00:04:13] I can't hardly sit through the news,

[00:04:15] Watching this fictional tune

[00:04:17] Political view,

[00:04:18] The sky's dark as the Original Jews

[00:04:20] Subliminal clues left in the hieroglyphs

[00:04:22] Where the ancient empires exist

[00:04:24] Walk inside the cliffs of Cairo,

[00:04:26] Read the papyruses

[00:04:27] On the wall feel the Gaul

[00:04:29] Off Judas the Disciple's kiss

[00:04:30] At the Last Supper nowadays

[00:04:32] Is a microchip

[00:04:33] End of skull, my survival
