Street Parables

[Chorus - repeat 2X]

Bear witness! as I exorcise my exorcism

Casting out these devils living in this ghetto prison

With heavy metal and ammunition, conditions are unbearable

You're listening to street parables!

[Verse One: Shabazz]

In 97 a.d., due to economy we living 22 deuteronomy

submitting to robbery buddha and sodomy

playing a game of street poker with a royal flush

a heart of lust, smoke inhalation from the burning bush

ghetto jerusalem, the streets paved with gold

but what profit a man if he shall lose his own soul

hustling with jewelry like solomon

in the crystal city

eluding the angel on the pale horse with hell following

sipping wine from a golden cup that runneth over

inscribing ghetto scriptures, inspired by jehovah

yay though I walk through the valley sober

bearing witness to the 7 plagues, standing in the pit of cobras

many disciples in my brigade who prayed, laid with jade

the harlots womb bares a plague

isaiah 3:16's, drowning in the heroin river

judas a hitman for 30 pieces of silver

the ghetto's the bible for the people of the spirit

interpret the parables, he who has ears let him hear it

the ghetto's the bible for the people of the spirit

interpret the parables, he who has ears let him hear it

[Chorus]

[Verse Two: Lord Jamar]

Forever valid being hunted by pontius pilate

confronted by the romans, when I'm blunted I see bad omens

gifts contained within a trojan horse

we following a chosen coarse

colossians 1:17, belief in one you never seen

I be the true and living supreme, trapped in this prison of fiends

what's written in the book of philippines

prophesied by ibrahim

black g-zus of nazarine, get ready for the second coming

caesar's issuing a summons for my arrest

convict me of a lesser charge, and sit me in the devil's nest

persecution of the gods, we never rest

a never ending battle

against the pagans, who idolize the golden cattle

we've been forsaken with lies, but now we making some strides

way past ecclesiastes, me and the god shabazz be

in the lab g, building on math scientifically

watching them die in their iniquity

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Shabazz]

I get high off the most high, give masses a contact

smoke herbs in bible paper, keep the cap on ya cognac

I sip a fifth of juice and genesis, smoke a spliff of exodus

then sniff a kilo of leviticus

running a spot of numbers and buddha due to economy

crime due to poverty, shoot up a dime of deuteronomy

scramble with joshua, ghetto apostles packing epistles

some were unsettled by their nostrils,

during the plague of crystal

I stood before many judges in the courtroom

they hold black grudges and use bails to extort you

paroled like barabas, heist the finest fabrics

ruthless thieves in the night

who steal 6 days a week, then rest upon the sabbath

I drop a jewel like 1st and 2nd samuel

kings stalking through hell,

destined for treasures, I'ma do well

my ghetto chronicles are visual and mathematical

emphatical, when I speak in street parables

[Chorus]
