Testo C U When I Get There - Killah Priest
Testo della canzone C U When I Get There (Killah Priest), tratta dall'album Priesthood
Uh, yeah, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Yo, uh-huh, listen
Uh, Marcus, uh-huh, Kev
Know what I'm sayin'? See y'all when I get there
We came a long way from duckin' strays
My niggas laid in the alleyways, funerals were made
Bodies brutally sprayed, but now I'm different, somethin' new today
I'm seein' bright tunnels, bein' my life crumbled before
Now I'm restored, I wanna see more
Wanna explore, standin' by the ocean shore
Looks like Heaven just opened it's door
Shinin' on me, I'm like a diamond, homie (Yeah)
Yo, so many eulogies we heard
Usually it leads to the herb to ease the nerves
But I believe in readin' the word
Takin' heed from the man that's feedin' the birds
That brought my horizon, it's hard survivin'
I'm job applyin', I keep strivin'
I keep tryin', tryna turn defeat to triumph
There's no place in this jungle for weak lions
Politicians and preachers that keep lyin'
And the streets supply 'em
How many times I have to heat the iron?
Every night there's a gunfight
Fuck misery, I wanna see sunlight
I wanna know at the end that my son's alright, yo
And to all my fallen soldiers that's no longer here
I'll see y'all when I get there
I reminisce on the R. Kelly I wish
Yo, right now, I'm writin' a remix
Y'all heard the stories of the miseries
Rivalries between enemies, there's no love or no sympathy
Y'all heard the stories of the stress
Death and debts, project sex and welfare checks and TECs
Automatics, y'all saw the graphics
Well, I know y'all had enough of that shit
I wanna see thrones, I want a land of my own
I wanna zone, finally find my way back home
Sit back and relax, readin' my poems
While the sunlight hit and gleam off the stones
It's only natural, I want castles of black jewel
I want statues and marble floors
That's what I have toddlers for, open up Solomon doors
Surrounded by priests, scholars and Moors
Say my name, dollars just pour
Not that fake paper money, but the coins that they take from mummies
Everybody in my world 'bout the age of twenty
Smell the rose, taste the honey, no achin' tummies
I can write about my miserable life
Critical nights, fought physical and the spiritual fight
Israelite, mystical type, like a Hindu in white
Let me tell you what my visual's like
Insights of a high priest, mind deep as the blue sea
Purple robe, brown kufi, it's all beauty
Absorb the ruby from yours truly, it's truly
Yo, I'll see you when I get there, yeah
Yo, I'll see you when I get there
For all my homies no longer here (I don't know what I'm gonna be)
I'll see you when I get there (Straight off the top of 'Pac's head)
Yo, shoutout to Mark and Kev
Bob Marley, yeah, Marvin Gaye
Uh, yo, I'll see you when I get there
To all my homies, straight off the dome in here
I'll see you when I get there, yo
To Nate and Dan, yo, Nate and Dino one and two
On the tracks, doin' it up, yo
I'll see you when I get there
All the great ones, early on, where you at?
Want you on the track, see you when I get there
Yo, yo, yo
(Y'all have been an inspiration in my life)
See you when I get there
