Quotes:
Wish I could see out of Selassie’ eye
Maybe my sovereignty would still be mine
If all the gangs in the world unified
We’d stand a chance against the military tonight
Babylon, Babylon, out my window all I see is Babylon
On the news, all I see is Babylon
And all niggas do is just babble on
Money and hoes, want money and hoes
– Terrorist Threats (with Danny Brown & Jhene Aiko)
No you weren’t designed to fail
Yes you where meant to attain, everything
What a magnificent brain
Such benevolent ways, look at your innocent eyes
When the mirror look your way, look her straight
In the face, come to grips with who you are and
Who you ain’t
Where you going, where you been
Help your family, help your friends
Plant a seed, teach, he or she to be the, deity
The media will never perceive us
As, get your five dolla’ ass up
Make change, make a way for today
Tomorrow was yesterday
Find a fine line between time and space
Contact the cosmos and you’ll hear em say
– More of a Euphoria
Peep the concept
You’ve got progress, you’ve got congress
We protest in hopes they confess
Just proceed on your conquest
I ain’t got no gavel, I ain’t finna fight nobody battle
I just wanna be free, I ain’t finna be nobody’s chattel
– Terrorist Threats (with Danny Brown & Jhene Aiko)
Enjoy your mind trip, but don’t trip on your mind
No man is safe from the war going on outside
That’s right, you ever been conscious in a coma?
Please don’t tell my mama; this ain’t marijuana
I might be trippin’ off that DMT
TDE, limitless like we on NZT
I made my dreams reality, so to speak
Or so they say, I could still be asleep
– Pineal Gland
Shoot for the moon
Even if you miss, you’ll be amongst the stars
– Picture That (with JaVonté)
Check, Joey I know I told you, quote it in a verse
But we called it the third eye when it could really be the first
– Tree of Life (with Joey Bada$$)
I’m in a whole nother realm; go to Hell!
Last nigga tried to scratch the surface broke a nail
Last nigga tried to cross the line got crucified
We overseas, back-to-back, never wore Chanel
The new nucleus never sitting in a cell
Genius idiot, best description of myself
I’m in a fucking lab coat rhyming as high as shit
When I die, donate my organs to science, bitch!
You got three eyes, three eyes, three eyes
– Pineal Gland
So keep that question mark on your face
Eat that fast food, and use that flouride toothpaste
Hide your feelings from the public
Work a little nine to five, don’t forget to pay your tithes
And to thank God you’re alive (HiiiPower)
And on another note, we focused like the Hubble Telescope, Soul
– Ab-Soul’s Outro (with Kendrick Lamar)
All I see is confusion and chaos
Blatant disorder, authorities picking on the minorities
Unfortunately, the land of the free has little to offer me
And got me often thinking about offing me
I wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth living? Should I blast myself?
I’m tired of being broke, and even worse
The upper class act like they don’t want me on this earth
This life will drive you crazy – only if you allow it
That’s only if you a coward
And you’re sure to get devoured
To no avail, tuck your tail
And all you do is give them power
Who’s gonna take a stand? Who’s gonna be a man?
Who do you work for? Please help me understand
You could be the victor in this situation
We may die individually, but as a nation
We’ll rise, nigga, change lives, nigga
Break ties from the everyday lies, nigga
It’s our time, until it’s our time
– Beautiful Death (with Punch)
Don’t be dethroned by these systems of control
Just keep your fingers crossed and get them locks off your soul
– The Book of Soul
What’s your life about, enlighten me
Is you gonna live on your knees, or die on your feet
Take out that student loan, and pay off your college degree
And do exactly what you see on TV […]
What’s your life about, enlighten me
Is you gonna live on your knees, or die on your feet
Is you gonna plead the fifth, or sound the horn
The time is now my child, come on
– Ab-Soul’s Outro (with Kendrick Lamar)
In ninth grade I started off on the right track
Got a few A’s but then I bounced right back
Wasn’t aware my main thought was what I should wear
Now that I think about it nobody really cared
I grew up in the church but barely paid attention
Read up on Malcolm X and started questioning religion
Became a rebel
I still believe in God
I just doubt the authenticity of Jesus and the Devil
– Soul Cry
Tell my momma I’m a shaman rhymin’
Jesus Christ and Shawn Carter are my only idols
No, Jesus Christ and Shawn Carter are my only rivals
I’m the Messiah of rap, my catalog’s the Bible
To the new generation of lost souls
Student loans, iPhones, reality TV shows
It shows a host of wise,but blind drones
Post Babylonia, so I’m told
It could be bologna, so I don’t hold it to be fact
Just tryna put the pieces together, puzzled by this madness
If that dollar crashes, niggas gone panic
What we gonna do? How we gon eat? Don’t even know how to
Grow fruit,detached from your roots, nigga, me too
I’m doing drugs, fornicating and eating fast food
But I know I got three eyes cause I’m looking past you
– Enter The Void (with Joey Bada$$)
Wish I could see out of Selassie’ eye
Maybe my sovereignty would still be mine
If all the gangs in the world unified
We’d stand a chance against the military tonight
Babylon, Babylon, out my window all I see is Babylon
On the news, all I see is Babylon
And all niggas do is just babble on
– Terrorist Threats (with Danny Brown)
Your soul sits on your third eye
Soul sits on the throne
– God’s Reign (with SZA)
Enter the void
This for my hundred dollar billers to destroy
Spreading word of knowledge to through decoys
People realize that it’s time to deploy
Stay on point – open your third eye, boy
And keep your motherfucking Chakras open
Keep your motherfucking Chakras open
Keep your mouth shut and keep your motherfucking Chakras open
Keep your all seeing eye open
– Enter The Void (with Joey Bada$$)
