Lyrics:
The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (3X)
Chorus: repeat 2X
Life is a test many quest the universe
And through my research I felt the joy and the hurt
The first shall be last and the last shall be first
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Verse One:
Knowledge this wisdom this goes back when I was twelve
I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell
Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn’t bear
I searched for the truth since my youth
And went to church since birth, but it wasn’t worth the loot
that I was paying, plus the praying
I didn’t like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
That the preacher had souped up with lies
Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs
Durin the service, he swallowed up the poor
And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
But I ignored, and explored my history that was untold
And watched mysteries unfold
And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
Space oblivia, or the abyss
With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
From a slave we was kept from the mind
And from the caves he crept from behind
And what he gave, was the sect of the swine
When the bible, it condemned the pig
I don’t mean to pull your hems or flip your qigs
But we used to wear a turban, but now we’re in the urban
No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie
No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts
And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
Those who sit home, or sell books by the market
Need to chill and get their mind revived
For years religion did nothing but divide
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Chorus
Verse Two:
I strolled through the books of Job to unfold
And open bibles, instead of hoping on revivals
Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah
when he hardly knew ya, that’s how the devil’s fooled ya
See look into my eyes brethren, that’s the lies of a Reverand
Why should you die to go to heaven?
The Earth is already in space, the bible I embrace
A difficult task I had to take
I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when
I found out that we were the chosen
I deal with the truth, and build with the youth
And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men
and women with wicked minds, who build picket signs
to legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion
I quiz Son with my wisdom
Before I converted, I was perverted, and knowledge was asserted
The study of wisdom, I perferred it
The understanding, it gave me mental freedom
I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam
The white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia
and uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander
The Sixth of Rome, and once the picture was shown
That’s how the devils tricked my dome
I prophesized to save a man, but no one gave a damn
for my nation – the seed of Abraham
Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew
Now we’re strung on needles, and some are plungin evils
So study and be wise in these days of darkness
Peace to my nephew Marcus
The basic instructions before leaving earth
Chorus: repeat to fade
,
I can listen to this and Black August on repeat ALLL DAY!!!!!!
Bible Believing Christians are Decieved

One of the Greatest Hip Hop Songs of All Time!
I wanna know who's actually in the truth, keeping the laws statutes and commandments of the God of Abraham Isaac and Israel, with the faith of Yeshua, understand the lyrics they're listening to. #IsraelWakeUp
If you still listening you are vibrating high
why should you die to go to heaven? the earth is already in space, the Bible I embrace
Never gets old. Word.
This song changed my whole way of thinking of theology. Then I found out about the 5 percent nation of Islam… as a white, male, heterosexual male, Killah Priest fan… how do I navigate society today? I would just like to know how other people think.. because I don't feel evil, or like my ancestors were created by Yacub
A CLASSIC
Most ppl still don't get what this thing called life is all about.
I liked this song, but he talked foul about muslims which was not a good look.
woah
Jesus died at age 33,the hell with those that dont like this song
Salute Killah Priest, had to come back real quick 2021 Salute
This song literally changed my life
2021, as relevant as ever.
Beautiful
anyone have the OG Copy and know if the pressing quality is any good?
I love this song
Am I the only one who can see a face in the midddle
Dope-the basic instructions before leaving earth
Gza had this on his album first then Killah Priest… idk why they do that shit. Outkast does that shit too.
I always think of 2 special god living prayer worriers who made starhill BLACKHISTORY!!!!!
We honor u DrDina Johnson & Jennifer Turner!!!!
2020 and the bible still the truth.
Jesus was a myth designed to obscure the coming of the True Christ. It is prophesied that a false Christ would do exactly that in the Bible.
How did Jesus walk on water? The body is over 90% water so anywhere you walk YOU are walking on water. A subtle metaphor that indicates the coming of the Tue Christ is each and every one of us and the second coming (really the first coming) is "from within". A revolution of the heart!
Killah Priest!!!!!!!!
2019 and it's still relevant!!!
During the service they swallowed up the pork and after they heard this they wallowed on the floor
The intercity struggle of the youth brings tears to my eyes I was waking up to this in job Corp in the nineties
Shalom
The book of Job really got me in the SOUL……and not cause this song……a friend of mine said my life kinda reminded her so as I began ACTUALLY reading the WHOLE New Testament….I started wit that book…..and I'm very proud that I finished it…..when I was a kid I'd "try" reading from beginning to end…..whole lot easier just picking a couple books randomly a day….and yea I was in jail but if that's what it took ta read it sober then so be it…..and by the way I dont just have Jesus in jail…..that shit bothers me when people do that shit……May Christ be wit all of us in these end times….In Jesus name AMEN
One of the best songs in history
We are Hebrew Israelites
