[excerpt 1]
[Verse 1: Memnon]
If you a fake then I was sent to expose you
If you're a tyrant I was sent to depose you
If you are both then I was destined to oppose you
If you are neither then hurry up and reload dude!
We've got a war to fight
Ignorance never rests
So in between these respirations lets hope for the best
Yes but let's plan for the worst
In fact we should invite it
The quicker I catch the dragon the sooner I can ride it
The faster you chase the dragon the quicker it can fly
Lesson I learned out on the yard chasing them fireflies
Started out on the Yard
Scoping like a hired spy
Now I'm working, smoking weed
Holding open tired eyes
But that's all for the purpose
All for the purpose
My secrets holding truth to shake the foundations of churches
And the walls of synagogues
And the minarets of mosques
The Didactic
Modern religion's terror tactics have never phased me
Not how my people raised me
From very young they recognized my mind was amazing
Hiding from my mom in the basement
Them books on religion
Thought she wouldn't understand so I hid 'Em
Preachers that I'd never understand so I'd hate 'Em
How could a heaven-based religion be so hell-bent on hatred
[12 years old] with these questions
I was hungry and impatient
The numbers switch, I'm 21
I'm feeling like a mental patient
That's until I was reduced into a meditative state
Time spent in my dreams, I learned to levitate and wait
How could I have ignored all of the rhythm and vibration?
I was more than just a lost soul hidden in the matrix
I've got these powers and these dreams and these things that I can do
And I'm surrounded by some n***as who all want the same thing too
So I should rally up the troops, right?
I got a, I got an army, I should rally up the troops right?
Hmmm, yep
I should, I should rally like a general
I should rally up the troops right?
Hmm, yep
And we gone take the castle to-night
And the morning we gon feast like some kings
My followers, listen, We Are Still Kings!!!
They think I'm chilling like some Vivance
But I'm scoping them, hyenas in the pridelands
Lion like Mufasa
Hold the knowledge like Rafiki
I fear for my life once I leak it
A tear on the night that I speak it
"He doesn't stand a chance cuz I believe him"
That's what the people say when they hear me...
[excerpt 2]
[Verse 2: Memnon]
See, see, see I am but a messenger
And I know my words may incite anger
But meanwhile Air Force 1 is waiting on a hangar
Waiting to take the important people out of danger
n***as in black suits buying up the ammunition
Trying to put the people in a defenseless position
Watered down bullsh** up on the television
sh** is like acid to me now, it's f**ing up my vision
The real truth about history has been deviously hidden
So to my grade school teachers good ridden
Except the one that taught me Latin
Unlocked my mind to what's happening, my turn
Imma stick my hand in the pie now, my germs
So turn it up until the output is deafening
I don't give a f**, listen if you wanna
But if you don't, remember to monitor your karma
And watch out as I open up the mental vacuum
The system don't want a leader, It wants a menstrual actor
...It wants a menstrual actor...
