(feat. The Maccabees)



[Intro: (singer) Killah Priest]

(Freedom, we're gonna tear your kingdom down)

[gunshots]

Ah, Johnny, yo, got shot, my baby, Johnny

[gunshots]

(Freedom, we're gonna tear your kingdom down)

My baby, why?

(Oh yea)

No, no, no

(We're in your kingdom, oh lordy.. oh lordy, that's alright)

Watch your back

[gunshots]



[beat kicks in]



[Intro Pt. II: (singer) Daddy Rose ]

(Tell me where, have I seen you somewhere before)

Maccabean empire, Masada beloved

(Was it in a dream?, When an angel closed my eyes and I saw)

Daddy Rose the God

(Tell me where, have I seen you somewhere before)

Maccabean scholar

(Was it in a dream? When an angel closed my eyes and I saw)





[Daddy Rose]

Holy scriptures, the state's prosecutors study Leonardo's pictures

All fraud from the renaissance age

Unfold the page, Golden Gates turn to rust

Man controlled like a puppet, the Earth is center stage

I've been deceived by modern day Eve with a weave

Poison me with lust from venom, ever since she was made

From the rib cage, in a world of theatrics

Same wantin new Babylon, the Mac spits

Rose remain deep, like the masters who crafted ecclesiastics

Telepathics, communicate by telegraphics

Bomb and corrupt Catholics

Tie 'em to the stake like Joan of Arc then burn 'em to ashes

Hard rush when I catch slavery flashes

Been born again like Paul on his way to Demascus

Any questions? Just ask us

Standin' on the four corners of the Earth

Four kings, 8 wings, black halos, son we got 'em

Direct from Hell's bottom, ridin on a pale horse

With a sword in my hand, comin to destroy Sadaam



[Chorus: Killah Priest (singer)]

(Tell me where, have I seen you somewhere before)

(Was it in a dream?)

Palms up nigga, palms up nigga

Head down nigga, head down nigga

(When an angel closed my eyes and I saw)

Face the east nigga, face the east nigga

(Tell me where, have I seen you somewhere before)

Then pray my nigga, pray my nigga

(Was it in a dream?)

Palms up nigga, palms up nigga

Head down nigga, head down nigga

(When an angel closed my eyes and I saw)

Face the east nigga, face the east nigga

Then pray my nigga, pray my nigga



[Sauldin]

Sauldin Rose, alias in me and Maccabees

My faculties stuck up jewels, 4 different diamonds

I rock jewels, run up in your temple for manuals

Annual bangouts from Jericho to New Jerus'

I walk through my hood like Christ with my apostles

Thief in the night, niggas watch my light reflect through my ice

The flame in my eyes, Gabriel's blood on my wings

Seven fold solo man, Eloheim crowned king

I walk through the desert, the Lord is my shepherd

I steppeth in the name of my father to pharoahs and fiends

Feed independence, I be the black stone in a column

My Mac-11 scope the seventh pope of Romaness scholars

My throne, is seated in soul, a sembiance placed in mine

The breath of life, livin spirit, now my soul embrace the knowledge

As I step in light, while the thug in me is chasin shine

I rise above the low and have the heat at guys takin up space of mine



[Killah Priest]

Yo, yo, yo, ayo

[speaking foreign tongue]

Yo

Black posse, clap guns at the anarchy

White man in the van watch me

Video cams is in the lobby

We change skin tones like chameleons so they can't spot me

Runnin out the buildin, cops shot me

I played dead on the ground like you cowards got me

Until I heard the engine of my man's Kawasaki

I raised off the ground mad cocky

He shot past it and snatched my body

We cocked a shottie, popped three at the swat team

The black helicopters swoopin down, flashin (What? What? What?)

Thousand volt watt beams, watchin on TV screens

Streets are flooded by the Neo-Nazis

That's when Gabriel gave me shells

Then I load my automatic and I blaze the world

Fuck this world and everything in it

I ain't gonna stop until my job is finished

And my words are infinite

My life is governed by a higher force

Sometimes I think I'll end up like Christ and die on a cross

The sacrifice, close my eyes and the fire come forth

Start spazzin then I blackout, I'm grabbin my Mac

Clap at the dragon, the beast, that paddin my streets

It's organized in the hood where we gaggin police

I wake up stabbin my sheets, see the monster grabbin my feet

Pullin me beneath, havin a head like Bill Gates

With a mouth full of platinum teeth

Imagine my grief, I'm gaspin, blastin my heat

The assassins



[Chorus: Killah Priest (singer)]

(Tell me where, have I seen you somewhere before)

(Was it in a dream?)

Palms up nigga, palms up nigga

Head down nigga, head down nigga

(When an angel closed my eyes and I saw)

Face the east nigga, face the east nigga

(Tell me where, have I seen you somewhere before)

Then pray my nigga, pray my nigga

(Was it in a dream?)

Palms up nigga, palms up nigga

Head down nigga, head down nigga

(When an angel closed my eyes and I saw)

Face the east nigga, face the east nigga

Then pray my nigga, pray my nigga

(Have I seen you somewhere before, my sisters?

Through a mangy rain, save the king of us

Let's get rid of the different but the sands the same and they remain

We're an pain and we're here to save all that man has done

Cuz the most high told us this is all for us
