From Then Till Now Lyrics - Singles - Killah Priest

Guns, shootouts and crack sales 

Black males who pack jails, trapped in hell 

No peace, cold streets, surrounded by po-lice 

This whole week, buildings with no heats 

No lights, the gas pipes the snow leaks 

Dog fights and lowlife throw dice the whole night 

Thieves, creepin 

In the midnight evenings, saw through the misty regions 

Go to your house, take a vial for the demons 

Moon in, the lunar eclipse 

Prophets stand in the midst of the seven candlesticks 

I can't take it, beauty that was once sacred 

Is now gettin facelifts, fake tits, and fake lips 

Cold embraces 

Memory erases, from the slaveships 

My princess, I used to spot her from a distance 

Holdin my infant, burnin incense 

The moment intent, for her to step into my wife tents 

Now we step in pre-sents, for your ebony prince 

The small of frankencense once treated like a pharoah 

With royal apparel, annointed with myrrh and aloe 

We used to wallow, amongst the mallows 

We had herd sheep and cattle, now we battle 

Used to pass over Brooks of Qe'ron 

Towers of Lebanon, the pool of Gechron 

We used to sing songs, upon Mount Hebron 

How is gold turned to bronze, and shhh 

How is gold turned to bronze 

We was the wisest and the richest, now we turn to snitches 

Women turn to bitches, in the time of harvest 

We was the smarteest, worshipped Wisdom like the Goddess 

Now we act retarded, forsook the Wisdom of the Fathers 

We use to have a thousand flagons of wine 

In Palestine there would drink Ballentine 

And raise up in the violent mind 

We used to have a hundred measures of oil, eighty measures 

Of wheat and barley, we live Godly 

Listening to Bob Marley, before the devils robbed me 

Chasin us through the African safaris

The 5 Most Memorable Moments From The 2017 VMAs 

From Then Till Now 

What goes up must come down 

What goes down comes back around again 

Where it all began, began, began, began 

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now 

From Then Till Now 

What goes up must come down 

What goes down comes back around again 

Where it all began, began, began, began 

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now 

Photos 

Singin holy anthems, lampin with all 

My handsome grandsons, hair long as Sampson 

Inside my gold mansion, they used to wear purple Pampers 

But now we Black Panthers, some are actors and dancers 

It's funny how the dollar bill have my seeds holler for meals 

Mother swallow a pill, roads seem hollow but still 

Grab a bottle to heal, it's like a noose 

Of seventh seal over Brownsville 

What's the difference between the ghetto and death row? 

I'm trapped up with cleptos, the tec blow 

I'm left in seft low, where the cries echo 

And echo and echo and echo and echoes 

From the Crystal City, near Getti 

Children used to grow on lillies, now they roll up Phillies 

But the pyramids of Cheops, is my weed spot 

Sometimes I eavesdrop in the books of Enoch 

We went from studying epistles of Paul 

Beneath a waterfall, rubbin crystal balls 

But now we spray paint initials on the wall 

On the wall spray paint initials on the wall 

From Then Till Now 

What goes up must come down 

What goes down comes back around again 

Where it all began, began, began, began 

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now 

From Then Till Now 

What goes up must come down 

What goes down comes back around again 

Where it all began, began, began, began 

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now 

From Then Till Now 

What goes up must come down 

What goes down comes back around again 

Where it all began, began, began, began 

From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now, From Then Till Now
