Killah Priest - Greatest Lesson Lyrics
[movie sample]Our reason for fighting is this..We were only meant to fight in one war onlyThat battle between the sons of light..and the sons of darkness, ordained by GodThat is our serviceNow we see that this is that battle and we will fight..Under your command[Killah Priest *humming the beat during sample*]Priesthood..I stepped in a church ashamed, ***** and hurtWet from the rain, my face shows painI'm desperate in search for answersGrabbed the panther that the ushers handedBlood stain shown through my shirt cuz beneath, my arm was bandagedI walked up the aisle but didn't stop 'til I got the altarI was being blocked by the preacher's supportersBut he'd seen my tortureSo-called friends filled me with false loveI spoke "Sorry I have nothing to offer but lost hope and an empty soul"See the Devil tempts me like Jobe, everything I had I now oweHe took my girl, shook my world, lost my cribIt was all his except for my kidsThat's what I thought 'til I'm at court with my wizShe doubled-crossed me then slidShe forced me to live in solitude now the bottle's my foodI follow no rules but if the gospel is trueThen I'm his apostle like youBut he stopped me cold and called me a foolHe said I was rude the way I'd intrudeThen I tossed him this jewel..[Chorus: Killah Priest w/ ad-libs]The greatest thing I've ever known..Greatest thing I've ever known..The greatest lesson ever learned..The greatest lesson ever learned..Most precious thing I've ever owned..Most precious thing I've ever owned..Though it left it shall return..Though it left it shall return..All I know is what I've known..All I know is what I've known..The greatest lesson ever learned..The greatest lesson ever learned..Most precious thing I've ever owned..Most precious thing I've ever owned..Though it left it shall return..Though it left it shall return..[Killah Priest]You judge me but what would you do if you was me?If you saw through my eyes, if you've felt the pain that I've felt insideWhat would you do? Would you cry?Ah, thought so, I do sometimes..See you have a home and a swimming pool, the big backyard (yeah?)Large living room, fed with a silver spoonYou probably sinning too but don't knowPardon me if I'm offending you but I won't goI question my faith, been in a depressional state (yeah man)Self-hate, one day blessings will waitStared death in his fate, planning my 'scapeI've seen D's stretching out tapeI've 'visioned prison dates, injected with the venom of snakesWomen with grapes, slept with in rooms pyramid-shapedWalls covered with hieroglyphics, I'm far from religiousIt was said in my first introductionwhich was Basic Instructions Before Leaving EarthFor me it went deeper than just reading a verseSeeing it first, I needed work[Chorus][Outro: Killah Priest]{*humming to the beat and whistling*You know it's real, K.PThe picking cot had been lockenedDaily..
