[Intro: Killah Priest]
Halt, who goes there? It's I sire, it is sire
News from the East, Preisthood has returned
Yeah, huh, bout to get dark, Priesthood, yeah, huh, yea, yo

[Killah Priest]
World place your eyes on the God at hand
The Warrior, the Emperor, I declare I AM
#1 disagree, then y'all R.I.P.
As far as I see, the sun only outshines me
Bring your posse, your crews, your clique, your gang
Only takes two to get it y'all spit the same
Say my name Priest, now say it again; Priest
Say to him; Priest, say it to them Priest
Watch 'em, he's like the new Rakim
On everybody's favorite rapper list
I view top ten, I keep boxing, I'm a fighter
One of the best writers
I came from Brooklyn with that Bedstuy fire
That Brownsville flow, pounds of 'dro, my crown, my robe
Who's the greatest king? Now y'all know
Surrounded by souls that may be from the Dark Ages
They tell me things right before I dart my pages
My art's contagious, like skills from parts of Asia
God like paper found on my desktop
Y'all searchings for the best, well the best just drop, it's

[Chorus 2X: Killah Priest]
Priesthood, the world right in my palm
Priesthood, the project is my code of arms
Priesthood, let it be known, the lead will be flown
Priesthood, New York's my castle, my house, my throne

[Killah Priest]
It's Priest Ban YaHa WahDa Qum YaHa WaSHI
Say my name, watch a hundred cowards die
Fitted head wraps Mediterranean cat
Owl tattoos, I carry Albanian gats
The Pharaoh of the Big Apple, since BIG had you
Since the plane took our twin castles
Since them planes took our twin castles
Gem statue with ten bathrooms, send pterodactyls
Like a sorcerer, you swallow my jewels, now cough it up
Of course it's us, Priest and the nemesis
True lyricist, ya'll started but I'ma finish it
Lyrical shit, Priesthood, guns like Clint Eastwood
Streets to hood, I been eating good
I brainstorm 'til the ink on my paper change forms
To black clouds and dark spells that I bring on
I'm having constant dreams that I'm Constantine
Wake up guided by angels with armored wings, it's

[Chorus]

[Killah Priest]
I greeted you all with open arms and what y'all do?
Y'all grabbed ya'll ratchets and open arms
Kept firing to eventually my ghost is gone
'Til I'm lying down and it's my blood I'm choking on
But my hopes too strong, my oaths are real
Know thy will, that why this whole sky filled with black birds
Globe stop, spinning backwards
My last words are heard like it was the first
The gift and the curse, greet y'all, switch in reverse
I greeted you all then, then open arms, watch ya'll tumble and fall
Throw up both of your arms in the pool hall

[Chorus]

[Outro: Killah Priest]
Yeah, Priesthood, back, that's right
