Genius/GZA Liquid Swords B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth) (Ft. Killah Priest) Basic instructions before leavin' Earth Basic instructions before leavin' Earth Basic instructions before leavin' Earth Chorus:(X2) Life is a test, many quest the universe N' through my research, I felt the joy N' the hurt The first shall be last N' the last shall be first The basic instructions before leavin' Earth (Killah Priest) Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve I love doin' right but I was trapped in Hell Had mad ideas, sad eyes N' tears Years of fear, but yo my foes couldn't bear I searched for the truth since my youth N' went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot That I was payin', plus the prayin' I didn't like stayin' cuz of bizzie-bodies N' dizzy-hotties That the preach-ass souped up with lies Had couped up, lookin' at loot, butt N' thighs During the service, he swallowed up the poor N' after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor But I ignored, N' explored my history that was untold N' watched mysteries unfold N' dropped the jewel like Solomon, but never followed men Cuz if you do your brain is more hollow then Space oblivia, or the abyss With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss Does it pay to be deaf, dumb, or blind From a slave he was kept from the mind N' from a caves he crept from behind N' what he gave was the sect of the swine When the bible, that condemned the pig I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs But we used to wear a turban, but now were in the urban No more wearin' beanies or dress like the genie No hocus pocus cuz I focus on the facts N' put it on the track or brought it through the wax I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time N' too much knowledge, it might break up the ryhme I did it anyway, just to wake up the mind Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet Those who sit at home, or sell books by the market Need to chill N' get their mind revived For years, religion did nothing but divide chorus(X2) I strolled through the books of Job to unfold N' opened bibles, instead of hopin' on revivals Callin' on his name N' screaming Halleluja When he hardly knew ya, that's how the devils fooled ya See, look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverend Why should you die to go to heaven The Earth is already in space The bible I embrace A difficult task I had to take I studied till my eyes was swollen N' only arose when I found out that we were the chosen I deal with the truth N' build with the youth N' teach my son as he kneels on the stoop Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men N' women with wicked minds who build picket signs To legalize abortion, the evil eye extortion I quiz some with my wisdom Before I converted I was perverted N' knowledge was asserted The study of wisdom, I perferred it The understandin', it gave me mental freedom I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam The white image of Christ is really Cesare Borgia N' uh, the second son of Pope Alexander The sixth of Rome N' once the picture was shown That's how the devils tricked my dome I prophesized to save a man but no one gave a damn For my nation, the seed of Abraham Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew Now we're strung on needles, N' some are plungin' evils So study N' be wise in these days of darkness Peace to my nephew Marcus chorus |
