Don't Touch The Garment

from Incipit Vita Nova by Illgod & Xplain D Don

/

lyrics

[Dante]
Tell me more about your life on Earth
Great poet
I know your deeds, but not the man you were

[Virgil]
Publius Vergilius Maro was my name
I was the son of a commoner, and though I died a dozen years
Before the birth of Christ, I foretold his coming in my works

[Verse One: Xplain D Don]
Don't touch the garment or you'll ruin the embalming of the god Tutankhamen
Like the soot did the environment
I spew vicious vomit
Rebuke thee Iblis as you slither through the garden
Serpentus I stay guarded
I pray often, Bible verses and talisman, I'm brain storming
A witch doctor reading Psalms, plus I take offerings
Give charities to depraved orphans
Stay proactive never play possum
So tread wisely, these kingly robes is what I stay cut from
I'm waving cards at guns and grenade auctions
Remain cautious, (yo) or catch the Wreck of Hesperus
For testing us, artisans carving out your grave sculptures
This is Armageddon music, Dies Irae
Captives out of Babylon singing amazing grace
Hoping every oppressor on the way stays erased today
So their kids have a place to play
Word

[Hook: Illgod]
The garment stays royal, till we're in deep in the soil
The garment stays royal, till we're in deep in the soil
I say the garment stays royal, till we're in deep in the soil
The garment stays royal, till we transcend all the way from the heaven to the soil

[Verse Two: Xplain D Don]
Don't touch the garment or you'll ruin the hem
I'm shrewd with the bread, like I was of a Jewish descent
Accost a snitch with a silver 30, I’m moving stealthily
Picked his pocket and made sure every last penny of Judas is spent
Approach me wrongly, you would be dead
Hoipolloi covering nostrils, talking softly how putrid the smell
Went through fiery furnaces, I'm used to this hell where Lucifer dwells
Third eye behind my head so every Brutus is dispelled
I linked up with P.T.F. and made moves at The Dell
Drowned my woes with the booze and the herb
Then proceed to spit the same blasphemy that had the disciples of Jesus impaled
This is Armageddon music, Dies Irae
Captives out of Babylon singing amazing grace
Hoping every oppressor on the way stays erased today
So their kids have a place to play

[Hook: Illgod]
The garment stays royal, till we're in deep in the soil
The garment stays royal, till we're in deep in the soil
The garment stays royal, till we're in deep in the soil
The garment stays royal, till we transcend all the way from the heavens to the soil
