Stand Still
Killah Priest Lyrics

I see you modified your gangsta after seeing me walk
You changed your demeanor after witnessing my presence

You changed your tone after hearing me talk
Your speech changed after hearing mine

Extended your hand and steal my aura
You extend a handshake and attempt to extract my energy

You know the god don't shake on shit
I, as a deity, do not partake in meaningless handshakes

But food, clothing and a glass of water
I only accept the necessities of life as offerings to me

Though we make love to Jezebels we prey on virgins
Although we engage in sexual acts with impure women, we still hunt for pure ones

We move like Yahuwa in black Excursions
We maneuver like the deity Yahuwa while riding in black Excursion vehicles

Blood the color of grape wine
My blood has a deep hue resembling that of grape wine

Skin tone the color of bronze
The color of my skin is that of bronze

I rose from the grave with 9's
I returned from death with guns in hand

And if tears were dollars I'd feed the children
If each tear shed was a unit of currency, I would use that wealth to aid impoverished children

Replace the White House with a project building
I suggest replacing the White House with a low-income housing development

I'd stand on top of it, signal in a rocket ship
I would stand atop the building and call in a spacecraft

Hold my dick like I lock down the continent
I grasp my genitals in the same manner that I control an entire continent

I'm magnetic, I attract metal L-shaped objects
I possess magnetic qualities that draw in L-shaped metal objects

With hell parallel niggas hit decks
As if in a parallel hell dimension, people fall to the ground

Yo my hand like fire in hell after a shooting
My hand burns like a hot flame post-gunfire

So nigga if you know like I know, keep it moving
If you understand the situation as I do, you'll avoid confrontation

'Cause I can stand still and watch the world blow up
I have the choice to remain stagnant as the world collapses

Fuck that museum heist decode alarms, blowing my palms
I have little regard for stealing from museums, I can easily disarm the security system

Turn the knob slowly hear the click, then we open it
We cautiously turn the doorknob until we hear the click, signifying we may enter

Flee with the rarest canvas, called the Della Strada
We leave with the most valuable painting, known as the Della Strada

A fifteenth-century painting of DaVinci's Belladona
The painting we steal was created by DaVinci in the 15th century and depicts Belladonna flowers

Tie up the Pope, my man's in the Helicopter
We bind and capture the Pope, a member of our team waits in a helicopter for extraction

Next to the Russian Pilot blowing marijuana
Our Russian pilot smokes marijuana while waiting in the copter

I smell the ganja showing the picture of the black Madonna
I smell weed and proudly display an image of the black Madonna

Flying over seas full of squids and arowanas
We fly across oceans abundant with squids and arowanas

Stole the Mona Lisa in Rome with phony Visas
We stole the Mona Lisa while fraudulently obtaining visas in Rome

Disguised as a tourist taking flicks at the Pisa
We disguised ourselves as tourists and took photos in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa

My cards and my passport reads Dr. Philip L. Glascov
My fraudulent identification and passport read Dr. Philip L. Glascov

At the airport where the FBI waiting with their taskforce
The FBI task force awaits my arrival at the airport

Cleared customs, pulled the mustache off
I passed customs and removed my fake mustache

A shootout is my last resort
I would resort to a violent confrontation as a final measure

Now we back in the air to the Metropolis, Project shit
We return to the city in a Metropolis vehicle to continue our work

Hellhole is bottomless
The depths of this city are infinite levels of misery

The beast will crawl out of it
The worst creatures within this city will emerge

Apocalypse, Communist, Name remains anonymous
The ensuing destruction will be caused by unknown Communist forces

Behold the Pale Rhinoceros
Observe the white Rhinoceros, a symbol of death and danger

It's obvious, don't even shoot it if the shot's a risk
When the shot is dangerous, it's not worth the risk to take it

They say I'm too Hitchcockian when I spit about the projects we in
People compare me to Alfred Hitchcock when I rap about living in the projects

I'm Jesus resurrected in the drop-top BM
I am like Jesus Christ resurrected, driving a convertible BMW

I'm Larry King Live from the hood
I am a version of Larry King broadcasting live from a poor neighborhood

Showing scene by scene of murder
I depict, in detail, the graphic scenes of death and killing

So what's good?
What is the situation or current state of things?

Wish I could stand still and watch the world blow up
Sometimes it's tempting to just observe the destruction of the world

But then I wouldn't get to see the seeds grow up
If I don't participate in changing the world, I won't see the impact of my actions

I'd be the sign that the gangs of the world throw up
I would be the symbol that gangs use to represent themselves

Motherfuckers tell me that I live in the last days
People often tell me that we are currently in the final days of humanity

Stupid fucks, you think AIDS is the last plague?
People who believe AIDS is the last plague are unintelligent

See man made God in his own image
Humans created the concept of God to reflect themselves

Culture, language and his own limits
Our culture, language and personal barriers influence our understanding of ourselves and the divine

Even his own spirit
Our understanding of our own spirit is limited by our mortal existence

So he could fool other men into believing in his own gimmicks
Humans use the concept of God to manipulate and deceive others

Stomp the Atlantic, pivot the planet
I have the power to trample the Atlantic Ocean and rotate the Earth

While niggas turn their cheek to a Catholic faggot
While people ignore the actions of the Catholic church

My thological gangsta
I present myself as a mythical, godlike figure who embodies gangsta culture

Crying if you spit it hard
You will become emotional if you rap aggressively

You get your bitch gang-raped by Minotaurs
You will experience the worst possible fate, even your partner will be violated by mythical beasts

No facade or exaggeration
I am not lying or exaggerating

We were born to rule the world after Revelations
We were destined to lead the world after the final book of the Bible is fulfilled

You could call it God's wrath or Allah's math
The destruction of the world can be seen as either divine punishment or a calculated plan

Like in Texas Chainsaw Massacre slash
As brutal and intense as the killings in Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Bars of death when I spit 'em out
My lyrics are so deadly they can kill

Concentration camp gold ripped out of a Jew's mouth
The gold teeth of Holocaust victims were stolen

Melted into Swiss Banks
The gold was melted down and stored in Swiss banks

That's how the world works
This is an example of how the world operates, with brutality and greed

We like the Mamluks to America's Ottoman Turks
We are like the Mamluks, who served the Ottoman Empire, to America

Fill the country 'til the bottom will burst
We will continue to populate the country until it can no longer sustain its people

Nazi pope, sniper scope shot him in Church
I view the Pope as a Nazi sympathizer and suggest he be assassinated in a church by a sniper

Warrior castle, slavery surviving niggas
We build fortresses and persevere through slavery

Harlem North Philly nobody live-er niggas
We are the toughest and most resilient people, despite living in unfavorable neighborhoods

Bittersweet Apocalypse I laugh at the end
The end of the world is bittersweet and I can't help but laugh at its conclusion

Gun in your face, that'll be your moment to sin
When presented with a gun to your face, that's your chance to commit a sinful act

'Cause when your world is over, mine just begins
When the world ends for everyone else, that's when my new world begins
