I'm just ready to get into this

Yeah count em all down

So intimate

I just can't believe I'm seeing it with my own eyes on paper

Yo yo yo

Welcome to black august

This is the portrait of a poor kid

That came to fortune

Back before when

I had nothing

Just a pad busting d**e rhymes like coke lines

I carefully laid them out then separate them

Then I would lace one

It made my face numb

Struck from a bass drum

Then I would pass the pad like glass to my man

And he would take some

He used to shake from

Overdosing we both indulging

Eyes were bulging remaining focused

But the brain was frozen

It's the same as smoking

We would just stand just stare

Film would appear and tapes would start rolling

It took us way back like a tracks it's so amazing

My man used to say that this ain't rap

'Priest your lyrics are too vivid'

'They more like pictures you can feel it'

'Yo you gifted' it flows like liquid mystic

I never witnessed such things as beautiful

As unusual like a musical

So say 'black august' and that's the chorus

It's so gorgeous it's so beautiful unusual

And 'member y'all this is no rap

These are moments captured on a Kodak

So hold that

So say 'black august' and that's the chorus

It's that gorgeous it's so beautiful unusual

And 'member y'all this is no rap

These are moments captured on a Kodak

So hold that

So hold that so hold that don't hold back

Yeah yo yo

Music falling

Like leaves in autumn

I hope you caught one

Please hold it close to you

It's for the pupils of the new school

It's chicken noodles

It's vitamins rice and beans

A nice cosine you like it steamed

Or broiled

Grab it like soil

This mic is royal

My pens a needle my arms a notepad

My thoughts a d**e bag my rooms a coke lab

I cooked up tunes

My homie smoked tash and used to throw cash

Out of born fishes they want the raw lyrics

Shoot or sniff it you call it

Alcoholics listen

Smiling while nodding off mumbling

'This kid has talent'

Then pass out while spilling they quarts

Then open up another gallon

I smoke from a chalice who wanna challenge

I spoke in-balanced

Priest the magic man

Presto there goes your ghetto

Colored increase your level

You gotta love it baby

So say 'black august' and that's the chorus

It's so gorgeous it's so beautiful unusual

And 'member y'all this is no rap

These are moments captured on a kodak

So hold that

So say 'black august' and that's the chorus

It's that gorgeous it's so beautiful unusual

And 'member y'all this is no rap

These are moments captured on a kodak

So hold that

So hold that so hold that don't hold back

Yeah uh huh yeah

I get em with the rhythm

Twist em spitting like exorcism

A poets wisdom give em vision dialect

Just listen to productions

Let it flush your system keep discussions

To a minimum watch me I'm winning em

Those imprisoned from the bling bling

Locked up like sing sing

Until I ginseng root

Right into it like a fruit again

Sight to the blind speech to the mute yeah

It's all day man

I can't believe what I'm hearing

You know what I'm saying

What I'm seeing it's beautiful

I could go all day long it's the life

Yo I could just keep going priest

Yeah check it out yo killah priest baby

My heart is jaded star glazing rated

Nickel plated manipulated

It gets better when it ages

So amazing I say 'amen'

So majestic emotions like a slow record

It's like a epic or a shiny necklace

Catch me at the guest-list

At black august check my performance

I'm brainstorming rain pouring no need for umbrellas

I'm try tell ya best seller

Thoughts angelic soft like velvet

Take off my helmet the warriors home

Like centurions in Rome

You know what I mean I just zone

I could go all day with this

Just gimmie where the hook at

So say 'black august' and that's the chorus

It's so gorgeous it's so beautiful unusual

And 'member y'all this is no rap

These are moments captured on a kodak

So hold that

So say 'black august' and that's the chorus

It's that gorgeous it's so beautiful unusual

And 'member y'all this is no rap

These are moments captured on a kodak

So hold that

So hold that so hold that don't hold back
