[Intro] Oh, you niggas wanna get deep? Niggas wanna kick knowledge? Y'all niggas ain't deep, man... Y'all niggas lost me Soon as you steady tryna tell me which rappers in the fuckin' Illuminati Then I'm like “show me the proof”, right? Niggas start talking about the anti-Christ and aliens and shit Save the ghost stories for the kids, nigga – I'm a grown ass man Let's go, let's go! [Verse] You can lead a man to a drink, but you can't make him take a sip You can lead a man to a link, but that don't mean he gon' click What's this? Y'all ain't really on no deep shit, I peaked it Scared of a motherfuckin' secret society And only been with people you agree with You scared of a chalice, scared to death Only thing worse is your silence Illuminati's enlightened, the owl sees in the darkness Masonic roots still survive for the book of dearly departed Egyptologist and scholars, symbologists at the college Will all acknowledge that ancient cabinet is where it started Way farther back than the knights, or the right to the Scottish You need to wake up, no new Bugatti Yep! My enemy tryna stop me But I don't stand a chance if I can't identify 'em properly Illuminati as we know it started in Bavaria Years before it landed on the shores of America The mission: abolishment of government and religion They were enemys of the state and they was hated by the Christians They was Poets, they was Scholars – the early Illuminati Was sort've like the students in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables The modern day politicians would diss 'em Turnin' them into martyrs This in turn inspired the founding fathers The vast majority of Masons who were the subject of the Illuminati Found this fascinating, The Order was insipiration (keep going) And ain't no disrespect to the Masons But you try to keep secrets and it leads to speculation Only those in league with Satan need to hide infomation That's how you catch a ride to your final destination Where the proof? Show 'em proof, put it all on the table When the facts are intact ain't no need for a fable Good versus evil is primitive Real life's more complex, where's your context? They put the symbols on the dollar bill, the monument, the obelisk They honourin' Columbia, the children of the colonists You could trace it back to the root, trace it back again It's really just another case of stealin' from the Africans Racism and vanity justify the sale of flesh You property like cattle or produce, but are you stale or fresh? Population control is real (word) you know the deal But still perpetuate the cycle of violence, we known to hold the steel No – I don't need no fuckin' chrous Used to read so many books thought I was a hoarder down at Borders Like the holy pale horse or The New World Order But you really don't know what you readin' If you really don't know the author A lot of the shit is the government propaganda Unsubstantiated lies with no proof, a bunch of slander Of course there are forces against you and that's a fact So don't get caught in the distractions, it's bigger than any rapper The truly oppressed ain't got the luxury of inventin' a monster The devil incarnate is much realer than the devil in concert What they doing so sinister Worse than any blood sacrifice you can imagine Iller than any cinema... The Federal Reserve, the World Bank and the IMF Helpin' the poor get poorer, you in debt until your dyin' breath The food, the vaccines, humanitarian aid They want control of the region, they really tryna get paid Obey thy consumer, make a product out of man Where's the conspiracy? It's always been the plan Y'all niggas scared of one world currency But still payin' your taxes – it ain't the Illuminati that worry me Lack of spiritual energy – suicidal tendencies Unwitting soldiers in the armies of your enemy I'm leakin' information so follow me down the wormhole Same reason that they called Bradley Manning a turncoat [Outro: Sample] (Man, we supposed to be brothas!) Oh, what, you tryna get smart? Nigga, you tryna kick some knowledge? Nigga, fuck that! Give me your motherfuckin' jewelry, nigga! Take that shit off! Oh, you got a pager too, huh? You a baller, huh? You a baller, huh? Give me that motherfuckin' shit! Better me than the motherfuckin' cops, nigga
