Killah Priest
Magic
[Chorus]
I am fire looking for smoke
Always swearing, never alone
I breathe where my body chokes
Any day now it’s gonna blow

[Verse 1]
I wear nothing, no ID, no house keys kept in the dungeon
Wept full of hundreds
Why am I punished? Why was I summoned?
Holding my stomach, told that I was wanted
Oh wretched man that I am
Who shall deliver me from this body of death?
With hardly any breath I’m partially a mess
It’s cold and dark, I’m sorry I guess
I was shoveled into my [?]
I lived in the fog
Shadows pull me, I try to pull free
I was pushed further into the woods into laughing trees
I’m tired and weary, my eyеs grow teary
The Most High, pleasе hear me, place the messiah near me
My soul burns like the Roman Empire’s sincerely
I’m alone, the cold snuck into my bones
I suffered the unknown
Here’s my poem
[Chorus]
You lift the weight off me
You’ll be waiting for me
Freely I’m never really
You’ve got yourself true love, baby
I am fire looking for smoke
Always sorry, never too close
My faith is the antidote
Any day now it’s gonna blow

[Verse 2]
I guess the Book of Job took its toll
I gave away all my silver, all my gold
I traded bread for a bag of stones
I lay with the dead where maggots go
I’m not the prophet but the animal
Flesh rot and ate the cannibals
Drunk concoctions move mechanical
Was I Adam or neanderthal?
I joined religion, I was coined superstitious by annoying Christians that kept toying with my visions
Avoiding my decisions
The preachers wouldn’t listen
My teachers said I’m sickening, giving me restrictions
To study was my addiction
They left me bloody from their whippings
I was ugly from confliction
I felt distant, [?], glistening as they start hitting, self prison
’til I joined the resistance of musicians
And I was born out their system in an instant
[Chorus]
You lift the weight off me
You’ll be waiting for me
Freely I’m never really
You’ve got yourself true love, baby
I am fire looking for smoke
Always sorry, never too close
My faith is the antidote
Any day now it’s gonna blow

[Verse 3]
So during my absence I came across has been
Fire-breathing dragons, things you couldn’t imagine
Even Jesus' assassin
I was given access to hidden tablets that was written amongst all demographics
I cried from passion
I died in crashes
But survived, I’m alive by magic
