[Chorus: k**ah Priest] (People) Is the world we live in Full of innocent, Yasa's word, we the victims (6 billion people) To the suburban area Filled with doctors and lawyers Cops and judges, we all suffer from paranoia (6 billion people) From the White House to Hollywoods To everybody hood, to down south, to deep in the woods From my hood (people) to my hood, let's make it better, overstanding (People) To six million people, that on this planet [k**ah Priest] As the moon appears like a pearl in the mists of the clouds I move up through the shadows til I'm at the cliff of the aisle I sit overlooking, the borough of Brooklyn As the Devils start to settle and the cement is pushed in The ghetto comes to life, you can feel it's pulse I hear, every corner breathing like the streets awoke It grabs you, it makes you, so you can't escape It's the phantom, it haunts us, it changes shape And the building's most chiling, described by children As the gateway to Hell, it holds the ghosts of millions Come close to it, it gives you the most grossest feelings As the black sky open up, my soul is exploding Back down to the surface, where these seeds are nurtured With alcohol and d**, which leads to murders Born poor, broke and hungry that's when thieves emerges But to, rob their own, defeats the purpose, and [Chorus] [k**ah Priest] I write for children, who really can't express their feelings I'm their voice, their thoughts, the way they talk I'm their worries, their fears, their dreams, nightmares Through that tunnel of darkness, I'm the light that's there Just stare, look into my endless eyes See a child walking on stage, his very first time And the same in the White House when light goes out The night comes down, the Earth leases unrighteous sound With gunshots, echoing, through the dark It's the sand of the ghetto's heart Put your ear to the ground, you can hear it pound Subway trains, run through the tunnels like blood through his veins People in cells, carry like fluid to the brain Clouds filled with red rain, the sewage drains as the nostrils And I'm the arsenal, I'm here to set fire, til the entire empire is on [Chorus]
