Heavy Mental


One Step


[Tekitha]
Your arm's too short to box with God

[Killah Priest]
KP, Killah Priest, Iron Sheik, Royal Fam, Dreddy Kru
See, in these times we gotta take one step forward
Put one foot in front of the other
My brother
Yo, check this out

Early data's related to thrones of David
Captured by some patriots and thrown on slave ships
They stripped us naked while they wives picked they favorites
Lives were wasted in the hands of the hated
Driven from the garden (from the garden)
Now we starvin in the martyrin Sodom, they call it Harlem
Wordly problems got us at the bottom, the Earth crisis
As the righteous grab their ice picks
Seekin psychics for advices
I stay in ciphers, our live is
Connected to the second son of Isaac's, which had a tight grip
On the heels of his brother revealed to his mother
The elders should serve the younger, words heard in thunder
Down from under, rose and bled to grow in hunger
Now it's cold in summer, the soldier slumbers
Behold a number, 600, 6 and 3 score
The same as he saw who ate his meat raw
In the time before they climb aboard a dinosaur
Information held behind the doors
We came from the atmosphere, the physical trapped us here
Then they gave us crack and beer
In the back of the stairs please adapt your ears
Add or subtract the years and form the unwise
And watch the sun rise from sunset
None slept, one flesh, one breath

[Killah Priest (Tekitha)]
Chorus:
One step, one flesh, one breath (8x)
(Your arm's too short to box with God) (4x)

[Killah Priest]
Devil's Moral, they caught us playin with the gold marbles
We wrote novels, now we live life in the bottle
Before the devil sold me to the unholy, because my father told me
I lived life amongst the lowly, lowly, lowly...
The president just ordered the navy to hit the borders of Haiti
Slaughter babies from the waters of Euphrates
Maybe they sent germs that polluted our sperm
And made us live uncircumcised in the serpent eyes
And told us certain lies, and each day a servant dies
But in the halls of pharoah the walls are narrow
And religion is like a prison for the seekers of wisdom
Now free them, let's feed em, feed em
They took the first book of Jacob to Jamaica
Promised us 40 acres and a mule, treated like an animal
Understand the jewel brought to the fifty states
Deuteronomy 28, verse 68, it all relates 1555 is when we first arrived,
We tell jokes with some get high, and watch the fish fry

Chorus

[Tekitha]
One step
One one step step
One one flesh
One one step
One one breath
One step...

No monument will mark my resting place
I will leave only this, the story of my life
I have lived fully and deeply
I have tasted passion, crime and even murder
It is for you to judge me, you must weigh the good against the evil
The passion against the tenderness, the crime against the charity
The pleasure against the pain
