k**ah Priest - Things We Share (Original) lyrics

[k**ah Priest] I burped upon my mothers skirt, threw up it church Lift my little head, looked around the room, that alert At first I seen two ladies who reminded me of a nurse The first creatures I seen while coming to this Earth In search, my mind still seeking I seen this little lady life her little arms, shouting glory while she reading Curiosity, I start reaching for her book My mommy 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 interpret but I guess this day was my purpose I lift my head again and start searching [Chorus: k**ah Priest] My ancestors brought from Africa on the slave ships Now return in the air with first cla** trips Pa**enger six, window seat, relax and viewing the fish The trees, the seas are blue like the j**els on my fist From the islands of Costa Rica we share the same life Children play with marbles of gold, return the plight We share the same life, we share that same life [k**ah Priest] I heard his voice in the side of my ears, mad raspy but clear So I start to turn around real slow, y`all know I`m shaking and stuff, that baby thing about to fall You 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 lets 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 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 favourite 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 Ramzi and him together they 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 colour as the tribe chained on the slave ships Not only that but Moors ruled in Spain For a thousand years they reigned, we complete that chain We have black scholars like J. Rogers While the devil government praise their dollar I pray for the day they holler [Chorus]
