[Verse 1: Vinnie Paz]

I built with Alexander the Great, he told the Persians they should stay gone

Then he told me about the Oracle of Ammon

He gave me no clue where it is

Men feared time, yet time feared the pyramids

He gave me more jewels

He told me that Amenhotep was immortal

I can't overstand hieroglyph

So I called Killah Priest and he taught me how to follow it

I walked through the Valley of the Kings

With a white robe, white rose and Muwali rings

And your whole team Judas

My road thin, gold skin like Zeus'

I speak the dialog of the dead

I practiced the same war tactics in King Arthur's head

So let the swordsmen kill the beast

It's a Legacy of Blood with Vinnie Paz and Killah Priest


[Chorus: DJ Drew Dollars cuts up samples]

"The Sun Won't Come Out, unless the crowd start this

'Cause if it was my choice, you all dance in darkness"

"Elements burst and gave birth to the worst

Took the pen from the nurse and hold the mic up first"

"Put your rhymes, the rhymes, put your rhymes on the altar

Burn them as a sacrifice"


[Verse 2: Killah Priest]

I paint flows with the feathers from the wings of angels

With ink from saints' blood, nigga you ain't thug

Stare into the face of a king's mug

Crushed grape fill the wine jug

Ill thoughts build from the mind, the rhyme rolls off the tongue like fine rugs

Let me walk you through this for the clueless

I'm Shakespearean with gray earrings

Speak like Tiberius, write novels

Spit it like Aristotle, face half-pharaoh

And half owl, I took the path of Cairo

Came back with the Dead Sea Gospel

Now known as the Dead Street Apostle

We see them Feds, shoot them hollows

Bullets spread till they meet Diablo

Stars in alignment, Priest meet with Jedi Mind Tricks

Reach them climates where you can't breathe

Stay high off that damn weed

In the mind is where I plant seeds to grow fruit

Of king's so brute of army troops, mighty men in celestial suits

You need healing, my mic give you incredible boost

Where I use satellite dish and stare at my alphabetical soup

Plus I use the Big Dipper to take more than one scoop

It's Priesthood


[Chorus: DJ Drew Dollars cuts up samples]

"Straight up, we serve justice

So if they can't be trusted, may you return where the dust is"

"Put your rhymes on the alter

Burn them as a sacrifice"

"Elements burst and gave birth to the worst

Get the pen from the nurse and hook the mic up first"

"Put your rhymes on the altar

Burn them as a sacrifice"


[Verse 3: Vinnie Paz]

I studied Element 115 with the Elohim

Saw the Canaanites, Sumerians and the Philistines

This is street gospel

If you don't believe in life on Mars, that mean the beast got you

You don't wanna see me and Killah Priest hostile

You don't wanna see desert eag' heat pop you

This is Mothman Prophecy

Walk back to the sand of Iraq and let the prophet breathe

We turned all our water into toxic seas

And walk in war with armor that I copped in Greece

Then I shot the beast with a long arrow

Studied Imhotep to be a strong pharaoh

It's a war when the gods spit

It's Allah when I split the icebergs in the Arctic

I don't care what the cause is

And I'ma ride for my fam no matter what the cost is


[Outro: Vinnie Paz *DJ Drew Dollars cuts samples to end*]

Yeah, Vinnie Paz, Killah Priest, yeah

Priesthood, Maccabeez, yeah, Army of the Pharoahs

Aight? Yeah
