[00:01.29]Killah Priest&60 Second Assassin - Profits Of Man
[00:08.87] 活在當下 制作
[00:10.98]
[00:11.17]Even Kings die, thrones rust
[00:12.85]Skeleton bones turn to dust
[00:14.62]Memories are blown into gust
[00:16.12]It's about how you live when you were here
[00:18.20]How you celebrated those years
[00:19.98]Were you a follower? Did you try elevating your peers?
[00:22.96]Were you sincere when you gave the prophets your ears?
[00:25.41]But soon the struggle come you disappear
[00:27.57]Listen here were you real?
[00:28.92]Did you show love that people could feel?
[00:31.31]Did you have jealousy but keep it concealed?
[00:33.59]Did you smile at your man's face?
[00:35.42]But all awhile wanted to take your man's place
[00:37.33]Moving around like a snake
[00:39.67]I know you hate that term, don't call it that
[00:42.15]Seen that lately that's why the Priest been falling back
[00:44.87]'Cause when the Revolution start
[00:46.62]All those cliques that fall apart will soon be the devil's mark
[00:50.16]And none the adversary will have a heart
[00:52.37]The letter from Priest, my freedom of speech
[00:54.69]Y'all read 'em and weep
[00:55.58]The demons that keep you from the path just laugh
[00:58.10]That's my ink pads looks like Stained Glass
[01:00.76]A collage of art, that show scenes from the Nazarene's past
[01:25.35]
[01:25.66]From my connections with 60 Second
[01:27.72]The Art of War to in the city - signed to Geffen
[01:30.03]For five-percent lessons, Israelite tribal dressing
[01:32.70]Disciple Armageddon's, that Bible record
[01:35.74]To Sunz of Man to damn near becoming one of the Clan
[01:38.78]Members I remember, in Brooklyn, GZA and Masta Killa
[01:42.22]To my last chapters with the RZA
[01:44.09]Testimony stops, Old Dirty got knocked
[01:46.24]Came home and signed with the ROC
[01:48.05]Cocaine combined with rocks
[01:49.29]Rick James style, his nicknames "Wild; Old Dirt Dog"
[01:52.31]It hurt us all when his hearse disappeared in the fog
[01:55.00]I stayed digital, never analog, original
[01:57.47]Always camouflaged, turn them cameras off
[02:00.21]Light those candles God, I'm the example
[02:02.51]Like I'm speaking from panels y'all
[02:04.32]The soul inside of me is fiery, society lied to me
[02:07.36]They said "You gotta die to be free"
[02:09.08]My diaries of anxiety frightens me
[02:11.56]Light will squeeze through my crack buildings where my writing be
[02:14.23]Striking my page with hyphens and brighten my T's
[02:16.80]To my seeds - the uncivilized time has come
[02:19.68]Y'all better run, the time has begun
[02:39.13]
[02:39.37]Yo, from total strangers to best friends
[02:41.61]To best friends to brothers
[02:43.67]From brothers to never calling him again
[02:45.18]Their coffins descend, one flies to a place of peace
[02:47.89]The other Lake of Fire, devils hauling you in
[02:50.71]As one began one ends, the Earth still spin
[02:53.55]We're hurt, tears in our shirt, spirit must transcend
[02:55.81]What you think sleep is for?
[02:57.63]A deeper cause - preparing us
[02:59.49]For the other side till the Reaper calls
[03:01.72]Either or, we're breathing for try a reason
[03:04.36]Arrived rich but we're leaving poor
[03:06.32]Stand naked when you see the Lord
[03:08.21]I stand protected when I see his war
[03:10.42]Till I exit and I'm free to soar
[03:12.26]I'm embraced by space, though it's cloudy around me
[03:15.83]His light weighs from a tree till they wither the brown leaves
[03:17.98]Bounty's of blessings, from my heavy mind (Heavy Mental)
[03:20.92]To every rhyme I said, looking from Masada (View from Masada)
[03:23.33]From the Church of Priest, the dark August (Priesthood + Black August)
[03:26.77]Till he showed you the art on his Offering (The Offering)
[03:28.89]Oops, I call it the gift, Behind the Stained Glass
[03:31.51]It's a frame of my pad, I started this
[03:33.55]Release the toxins, breathe out the oxygen
[03:36.66]Now see how shocking you fools if you think the Saint will lose
[03:39.47]I say things that will make the picture and the paintings move
[03:42.13]Now after this ink this jewel, look!
[03:45.98]
[03:46.17]What profits that man?
[03:47.91]Who would gain the whole world yet lose his soul
[03:52.08]What profits that man?
[03:54.42]Somebody tell me
[03:56.71]What profits that man?
[03:58.43]Somebody tells me
[04:00.31]What profits that man?
[04:01.81]Who would fear his enemy and think he didn't exist
[04:06.47]What profits that man?
[04:08.70]Somebody tell me
[04:10.77]What profits that man?
[04:12.63]Somebody tell me
[04:15.29]Somebody tell me
[04:16.99]If you can
[04:18.74]What profits that man?
[04:21.29]Who would gain the whole world but lose his soul
[04:25.54]What profits that man?
[04:27.86]What profits that man?
[04:29.43]What profits that man?
[04:31.73]The way the good and evil could never balance equal
[04:35.14]And no man, for no man could be both good and evil
[04:39.99]From skills that are strange to each other
[04:44.01]And skills to one way or the other
[04:46.13]Even into one grain that'll strip us
[04:49.31]If you've done evil, then I guess you're missing it
[04:54.59]It'll be the over-taker, the architecture
[04:58.09]What I could build will kill
