[00:00.000]How Many (Explicit) - Killah Priest
[00:08.750]My mind is designed
[00:09.560]Like a Mayan pyramid
[00:10.379]When you climb up the steps
[00:11.519]You can get where the emerald is
[00:12.969]I left witnesses for those
[00:14.099]Who didn't believe
[00:14.829]Show the depths of sentences
[00:16.249]Y'all forbidden to leave
[00:17.249]Alphabets become images
[00:18.338]You listen to see
[00:19.288]How the breath of the
[00:20.288]Lyricist can breathe 3-D
[00:21.357]Trapped in each bar
[00:22.407]It gets deep with the God
[00:23.737]Like the five pillars that
[00:24.747]They teach at the Mosque
[00:25.767]Try to defy Killah
[00:26.547]And you seek a mirage
[00:27.827]Terrifying thriller
[00:28.527]Have you reaching your heart
[00:29.917]Priest fitting to get dark
[00:31.047]Dark and it can get
[00:32.467]Dark as the first nine
[00:33.307]Pharaohs that ruled Egypt
[00:34.337]Dark as the moon cast the
[00:35.667]Shadows that 'cause eclipse
[00:36.747]Dark as the ladies
[00:37.487]With the tarots telling you secrets
[00:38.707]Dark as the gun barrel
[00:39.667]Right before you squeeze it
[00:40.897]I enter your mind like an auditorium
[00:42.557]Your picture was distorted
[00:43.636]But I restored your film
[00:44.986]Now you see clearer
[00:46.186]My pen has a lens
[00:47.286]Like I'm sitting in a theater
[00:48.436]Come back again
[00:49.236]Remind you of Rakim
[00:50.456]But I'm not him
[00:51.406]Though we one and the same
[00:52.676]The second coming of Kane
[00:53.646]I'm like Kool G Rap put the Uzi in rap
[00:55.796]Or KRS One said it was cool to be black
[00:57.906]For Slick Rick announced
[00:58.736]That the Ruler was back
[01:00.115]Back in the days when gold jewelry was fat
[01:02.225]Before Wu or Biggie
[01:03.295]Nas Jigga or 50
[01:04.405]That was New Yiddy
[01:05.404]They ruled the city
[01:06.474]On the West Coast
[01:07.224]It was run by Death Row
[01:08.614]Pac gave 'em Thug Life
[01:09.784]But I just hug mics
[01:11.043]The grip of the python
[01:12.023]The strength in my right palm
[01:13.133]Will crush a competitor's life form
[01:15.321]How many MC's must I defeat
[01:17.071]How many rhymes must
[01:18.041]I show 'em technique
[01:19.250]How many metaphors
[01:20.560]How many letters in all
[01:21.760]How many times must
[01:22.520]I show you I'm better than y'all
[01:24.019]How many MC's must I defeat
[01:25.588]How many rhymes must
[01:26.838]I show 'em technique
[01:27.868]How many metaphors
[01:29.007]How many letters in all
[01:30.227]How many times must
[01:31.277]I show you I'm better than y'all
[01:32.637]Rhymes after rhymes
[01:33.467]Metaphors and lines
[01:34.697]Since eighty four I recall the time
[01:36.337]Left MC's inside of morgues and shrines
[01:38.695]Weak technique get absorbed like wine
[01:40.734]Then I piss 'em back
[01:41.714]Under the trees and vines
[01:42.854]This rapper that rapper
[01:43.704]I proved I'm better
[01:45.363]Next one I'm about to battle Webster
[01:47.562]Do you think you can handle my pressure
[01:49.502]The weight of my thinking
[01:50.501]When I play with the ink pen
[01:52.011]Is he old or new school
[01:53.780]Nah I'm in a class by myself
[01:55.940]Plus I drop math then I blast like a stealth
[01:57.880]The bars you spit I use for chin ups
[01:59.730]Soon as you lay 'em down
[02:01.020]I press the bench up
[02:02.190]Then I start spinning
[02:03.150]Like them windchucks
[02:04.200]Each paragraphs is
[02:05.130]Like a Pharaoh in the past
[02:06.520]Wide is the dome piece
[02:07.580]And narrow is the path
[02:08.810]How many MC's must I defeat
[02:10.670]How many rhymes must
[02:11.730]I show 'em technique
[02:12.859]How many metaphors
[02:14.018]How many letters in all
[02:15.248]How many times must
[02:15.998]I show you I'm better than y'all
[02:17.408]How many MC's must I defeat
[02:19.048]How many rhymes must
[02:20.278]I show 'em technique
[02:21.378]How many metaphors
[02:22.508]How many letters in all
[02:23.758]How many times must
[02:24.677]I show you I'm better than y'all
