Things We Share (Original)

Slow it down in the world, the world we live
Just looking at it

[Killah Priest]
I burped upon my mothers skirt, threw up it church
Lift my little head, looked around the room at alert
At first I saw two ladies that remind me of the nurse
The first creatures I seen while coming to this Earth
In search, my mind still seeking
I see this lady lift her little arms chatting glory while she reading
Curiosity, I start reaching for her book
My moms 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 there to interpret but I guess this day was my purpose
I lift my head again and start searching

[Chorus: Killah Priest]
Our ancestors brought from Africa on the slave ships
Now return in the air with first class trips
Passenger six, window seat, relax I'm 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 light
Children play with marbles of gold, return the plight
We share the same life, we share that same light

[Killah Priest]
I heard this voice in the back of my ears, mad raspy but clear
So I start to turn around real slow, y`all know
I`m shaking the stuff, that baby thing about to fall
Y'all 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 let's 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'm 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 favorite
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 Ramses and him together, 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 color as the tribe chained on the slave ships
Not only that but Moors ruled in Spain
Four thousand years they reigned, we complete that chain
We have black scholars like J.A. Rogers
While the devil government praise their dollar
I pray for the day they holler

[Chorus: Killah Priest]

From the islands of Costa Rica we share the same light
Children play with marbles of gold, return the plight
We share the same life, we share that same light

Things we share
Look it's clear, so see the sphere
Uh, see, Ebo
