Things We Share - Killah Priest

I burped upon my mothers skirt, threw up it church

Lift my little head, looked around the room, that alert

At first I seen two ladies who reminded me of a nurse

The first creatures I seen while coming to this Earth

In search, my mind still seeking

I seen this little lady life her little arms, shouting glory while she reading

Curiosity, I start reaching for her book

My mommy took my little head, laid me on her shoulders and shook

Almost went to sleep but no not this time

A lot on this young toddlers mind

Dreams of kings, and graveyards and thrones and dollar signs

No one interpret but I guess this day was my purpose

I lift my head again and start searching

My ancestors brought from Africa on the slave ships

Now return in the air with first class trips

Passenger six, window seat, relax and viewing the fish

The trees, the seas are blue like the jewels on my fist

From the islands of Costa Rica we share the same life

Children play with marbles of gold, return the plight

We share the same life, we share that same life

I heard his voice in the side of my ears, mad raspy but clear

So I start to turn around real slow, y`all know

I`m shaking and stuff, that baby thing about to fall

You might laugh but I`m two inches tall

Finally, I see this black man in a black robe

His hair all white, turning pages, saying lets read Job

And above him this white image on a cross

Then suddenly, a light enters my thoughts

Indian Gods look like them, Chinese Buddha looks like them

Arab`s Muhammad look like them

I thinking why I`m in an all black church

But then Jesus have to have white skin

Like him, it`s kind of frightening

That`s why everybody else prosper `cause they won`t convert to me

Your own are supposed to always come first

Not only that but Moses was Pharaoh`s favourite

Made ruler over everything, lay with Egyptian maidens

And Pharaoh loved Moses like his own

Same lips, same nose, same skin tone

Even Hebrews hated Moses, they thought he was Egyptian

Put Ramzi and him together they couldn`t tell the difference

And learn this fact, history proved that

Ancient Egyptians were always and still is black

That makes Moses, Joseph, Jesus and David

The same colour as the tribe chained on the slave ships

Not only that but Moors ruled in Spain

For a thousand years they reigned, we complete that chain

We have black scholars like J. Rogers

While the devil government praise their dollar

I pray for the day they holler
