[Killah Priest]
Bla-awww-ah-ahhh (dead birds)
Four scores, thousands of years ago
Ahhhhh
RZA, Killah PZA, Shza, chosen
Aiyyo camoflauged samurais...

Aiyyo camoflauged samurais, battle scars
Analog, his hands are claws, bears or Gods
Digi {blank} criminals, alkaline generals
We stick you for your minerals
You speak subliminal clues in interviews, log on
We send the news as Brooklyn Zoo, like psalms
Turn around disguised, standin on the roof with Merlin eyes
A wizard suit, I hurl these rhymes, down
Like twirlin dust devils, amongst the bad luck ghettos
I give 'em hope

[Chorus: Killah Priest]
Dead birds flyin with wings that's broke
Dead birds flyin with wings that's broke
Dead birds flyin with wings that's broke
Dead birds flyin with wings that's broke
With wings that's broke, with wings that's broke
With wings that's broke, with wings that's broke
With wings that's broke, with wings that's broke
With wings that's broke

[Prodigal Sunn]
Metal blades, hand of the spade, duckin grenades
Cuttin through brigades, 20 men searchin for aid
Hurtin for days, murderous ways, left 'em decayed
I creeped, I creeped through the shade, back with that green jade
My teammate, rainin fire for dead gates
50 renegades send 'em leakin to the grave
My teammate, rainin fire for dead gates
50 renegades send 'em leakin to the grave

[Chorus]

Killah Priest

Walter Reed, best known as the conscious rapper Killah Priest, was born on August 17, 1970 and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He made a name for himself as a hip hop artist in the mid-1990s thanks to his guest appearances, but did not release his first album, Heavy Mental, until 1998. In addition to his solo work, Priest is an affiliate of the legendary rap cooperative, Wu-Tang Clan and was also a part of former rap supergroup the HRSMN along with Canibus, Ras Kass, and Kurupt. Over the course of his career he has released 11 studio albums and two mixtapes.

Priest is known for intensely spiritual lyrics loaded with metaphors and religious references, and for controversial and political subject matter. Although he has been linked with black nationalist religious/philosophical groups such as 5% Nation and the Black Hebrew Israelites through his rhymes, Killah Priest is now a secularist. He gave a talk at the 2015 atheistic/secularist “Mythinformation Conference” in 2015.
