[Intro: Killah Priest & Tekitha]

Your arms too short to box with God

KP (Killah Priest), Iron Sheik

In these times we gotta take one step (Prodigal Sunn) forward

(Hell Razah, Royal Fam)

Put one foot in front of the other (Dreddy Kruger), my brother

Yo, check this out


[Verse 1: Killah Priest]

Early natives related to the thrones of David

Captured by some patriots and thrown on slave ships

They stripped us naked while their wives picked their favorite

Lives were wasted in the hands of the hated

Driven from the Garden (Garden)

Now we starving in the modern Sodom, they call it Harlem

Worldly problems got us at the bottom

The Earth crisis had the righteous grab their ice picks

Seekin' psychics for advices, I stay in ciphers

Our life is connected to the second son of Isaac's

Which had a tight grip on the heels of his brother, revealed to his mother

"The elder should serve the younger," words heard in thunder

Down from under, rose and fled to grow in hunger

Now it's cold in summers, the soldier slumbers

Behold the number, six hundred, six and three score

The same as Esau, who ate his meat raw

In the time before they climbed aboard a dinosaur

Information held behind the doors

We came from the atmosphere, the physical trapped us here

Then they gave us crack and beer

In the back of the stairs, please adapt your ears

Add or subtract the years

And form the unwise and watch the sunrise from sunset

None slept, one flesh, one breath

[Chorus: Hell Razah & Tekitha]

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God


[Verse 2: Killah Priest]

Devils marveled, they caught us playing with the gold marbles

We wrote novels, now we live life in the bottle

Before the Devil sold me to the unholy, he called my father Toby

I live life amongst the lowly (Lowly, the lowly, lowly, lowly)

The President just ordered the Navy to hit the borders of Haiti

Slaughtered babies from the waters of Euphrates

Maybe they sent germs that polluted our sperm

And made us live uncircumcised in the serpent eyes

And told us certain lies and each day a servant dies

But in the halls of Pharaoh, the walls are narrow

And religion is like a prison for the seekers of wisdom

Now freedom, let's feed 'em (Feed 'em)

They took the first Book of Jacob to Jamaica

Promised us forty acres and a mule

Treated like an animal, understand the jewel

Brought to the fifty States

Deuteronomy 28: Verse 68, it all relates

1555 is when we first arrived

We tell jokes with some get-high and watch the fish fry


[Chorus: Hell Razah & Tekitha]

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God

One step, one flesh, one breath

Your arms too short to box with God


[Outro: Tekitha]

One step, one, one step, step

One, one flesh, one, one step

One, one breath

One step, one step
