To understand the word holy and it's silly hoax/ Let's do an etymological breakdown of the word Helios/ Which is a Greek corruption of Ra ya feel me though?/ This isn't something that's commonly known and revealed the most/ So when I spit that solid shit, acknowledge it/ Like Aristotle and Herodotus when they saw the Kemites accomplishments/ "There goes Sir Thomas with all of his biased rants"/ Talking about the bible is derived from the papyrus plant/ I got all this info to share in this damn noodle/ Niggaz need to wake up to the fact that we've been bamboozled/ Can it be, the western religion of Christianity/ That's causing black folks self destruction and insanity/ Go ahead keep believing in the religion of your slave masters/ Better behave faster before they whip you in the grave bastard/ Actually, the tactics worst from the catholic church/ They geographically colonize to attack and hurt/ Indigenous tribes and try to claim that black's a curse/ But heck, what can you expect from psychopathic jerks/ I'm not a dope to the pope's major lies believe it/ Go tell your folks the bible was plagiarized from Egypt/ We've been suffering trauma awhile and all been beguiled/ Let's not forget Auset and Heru the first black Madonna and child/ Honor the hypostyle hall and look in awe/ Open your eyelids Helios Papyrus is the Book of Ra/

Lenses of a Lie

Verse 1:
The weed has me elevated and I'm intoxicated, too/ Celebrated I made it through a year so here's a case of brews/ Dedicated to helping people out of that gated zoo/ Which is ya mind, I insist ya find ways to get motivated dude/ I stated that outdated views need to be upgraded, true/ Have you identified the devices that have miseducated you?/ Do away with a slew of ideas and beliefs that blockaded new/ Progression to appear, lesson been here and awaited you/ I degraded who? Myself when I debated fools/ The protection of the pride set aside a chance to be aided to/ For the sophisticated few no longer living in a sedated mood/ I guess it was fated that the hatred grew and now invaded you/ I'm not persuaded by what they say or do or even display on tubes/ Explain why the profane desecrated sacred rooms when they raided tombs/ I sort of be, laboriously, looking for truth in these shaded clues/ Shout out to my lady boo and baby girl that 's half Native Sioux/
Chorus:
No longer will I, No longer will I/
Try to learn truth through the lenses of a lie/
(Repeated 4x)
Verse 2:
Instead of being ghetto fabulous, Instead of being ghetto fabulous/ Learn to be a catalyst to stop the paralysis of analysis/ Imhotep the alchemist yeah introduced calculus/ The center of the Eye of Ra is analogous with the thalamus/ How can this go unheard? To some, this is so absurd/ The progression of knowledge is becoming more and more slowed and blurred/ People rather just go to work, spend their dough on clothes ya heard/ I reflect on all this dedicated ignorance as I blow some herb/ oh my word, honestly, some people will probably burst/ In tears, when they learned for years they been worshiping Ptolemy 1/ In the form of Serapis, as I rap this ill quality verse/ To inform the masses they practice a sense of astrology, word!/ Acknowledge your worth, do your homework and then you decide/ If we've been indoctrinated with beliefs that left us stupefied/ Don't be that clueless guy that gets polluted because he's not rooted right/ Get over that wounded pride, Naw you can't live through a lie/
Chorus:
No longer will I, No longer will I/
Try to learn truth through the lenses of a lie/

Het Ka Ptah
03:59
|
|||
Verse 1:
First I like to state I hope you're feelin great and all's well/ Before I spit the truth to you that certainly isn't a tall tale/ Aw hell, it's time for the frozen minds to unthaw well/ My jaw fell in awe when I awoke to the knowledge where Ptah dwells/ A demiurge created the universe by thought, then the word/ Sought the help of divine potter Khnum to make men emerge/ Women, children, animals, too tell me can ya handle the truth/ Or will you continue to live a lie and try to dismantle the sooth/ I'm channeling through, lyrics from my spirit and genetic strand/ Forget it man, you can't make em accept the wisdom of the Kemetic land/ I won't be pathetic and begin to start withholding my lectures/ About Ptah's magnetic hands that can be found holding the sceptre/ Which is really a was that's combined with an ankh and djed / Displaying the laws of electrons, but kid you would of thunk instead/ Whatever dude, it's not clever to tell people what they better do/ You can't help becoming a better you when inspired by the Neteru/
(sample)
Chorus:
Awe, ancient spiritual laws assist my Ka/
I spit that raw truth from Het Ka Ptah/
(repeated 4x)
Verse 2:
The voltaic pile has an archaic style, it took from the djed/ I'm looking to spread this info to every bit and cranny and nook of the head/ The book of the dead contains various techniques and magical spells/ Yes it's said it's meant to assist the dead on their actual trails/ Into the afterlife, to be judged by Ma'at's admirable scales/ This concept may be laughable to you so called rational males/ What the hell, my lyrical verse shall talk about mans spiritual thirst/ Which has a desire to acquire knowledge that is empirical first/ A hysterical burst is sometimes followed by sadness rhythms/ Of cries, when someone realize the lies of this madness system/ That the matrix be, which is basically gladly given/ To keep us operating in our lower self and be status driven/ Electromagnetism was understood by the Kemites/ Along with the proper insight and ability to bend light/ Divine principles were expressed on stucco reliefs/ But the majority of people don't care and be like, "Fuck yo beliefs."/
Chorus:
Awe, ancient spiritual laws assist my Ka/
I spit that raw truth from Het Ka Ptah/

Waters Of Nun
03:50
|
|||
Verse 1:
From nothing you get the absolute, from nothing you get the absolute/ My raps induce a vibe to kill the jive and all the wack that's loose/ This fact produced flow sho lets you know about the attributes/ Of Nun, the inert one, yes it's certain that I get back to roots/ Reason why I act recluse, reason why I act recluse/ It seems insanity begins when family and friends tend to attack the truth/ Either you're spiritual, intellectual, or an automaton/ Wakening to the higher self, yes, is truly a phenomenon/ I'm on a positive vibe, if ya want to ride make sure the drama's gone/ All that gossiping is a major problem and makes Tom withdrawn/ You're a grown man, I smell teenage spirit like Nirvana's song/ Keep my marijuana strong and try to reflect on common bonds/ before panicking quick or actually become frantic and piss/ I managed to flip the negative to my advantage and split/ The oceanic abyss of Nun represents infinite chaos/ A state of unconsciousness as if ya brain has been laid off/
Chorus/Bridge:
Yea I go into crazy depth, Yeah I go into crazy depth/This knowledge's rather deep so it may be best you take baby steps/
(repeated 2x)
Verse 2:
Yeah I spit that caustic shit, Yeah I spit that caustic/ Nun is a person's potential which needs to rise and shine in consciousness/ An aquatic neter which symbolized the chaotic/ This melodic beat is a nice retreat from the idiotic/ Using logic, what it take to live and survive in the tropics?/ A microscopic study of melanin is key but I'm getting off topic/ I drop this knowledge for the open ears and active minds/ Learn to be adaptive and not so reactive in these tragic times/ Yea don't be blind to the religious passive kind/ It's asinine to tell a zombie they're captive by a magic bind/ I find the blind will lead the blind to a deplorable ground/ Out of the watery chaos rises the primordial mound/ Oratorical sounds from antiquity were passed down with imagery/ Brilliantly showcasing the sacred sciences ability/
Chorus/Bridge:
Yea I go into crazy depth, Yeah I go into crazy depth/This knowledge is rather deep so it may be best you take baby steps/

The Neteru
02:30
|
|||
Verse 1:
The Neteru are personified forces of nature/ Divine aspects from the source the creator/ The misfortune is major for a captive coward/ That's a combative doubter to the active power/ Which produces things in regular recurrence/ It's urgent each person becomes more observant/ To the unseen laws that govern the universe/ Lets discuss the roles of Tehuti first/ A neter of knowledge and exciting wisdom/ Credited with developing a writing system/ It gets deeper as the keeper of the book of life/ He records names and deeds to see if they looked for strife/ The 42 laws of Ma'at we should abide/ The European religion you should put aside/ People remain ignorant because of mental imprisonment/ It's instrument to implement intellectual vigilance/
Chorus:
Anpu, Nekhbet, Mut, Khnum, Nephthys, Suti/ Horemakhet, Ausar, Auset, Heru and Tehuti/ Wadjet, Sobek, Sekhmet, Ma'at, and Ptah/ Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Geb and Amun Ra/
Verse 2:
This knowledge may in fact be stunning yall/ For some, they can't understand how the one is all/ This cosmic force bestowed life upon you/ Let's move onto the functions of Anpu/ It is said, after someone died and fled/ He will seek the lost souls and guide the dead/ To the judgement halls for the weighing of the heart/ Dictating the fate of souls by playing his part/ Birth by Nephthys, who's the goddess of death and shit/ Protects Ausar's mummy as a funerary specialist/ She's antithesis of her sister which is Auset/ Better known by Isis, don't forget/ The neters of moisture and air, Tefnut and Shu/ Gave birth to the earth and sky, Geb and Nut/ Heru, Auset, and Ausar are the original trinity/ I'm just a messenger not your enemy/
Chorus:
Anpu, Nekhbet, Mut, Khnum, Nephthys, Suti/ Horemakhet, Ausar, Auset, Heru and Tehuti/ Wadjet, Sobek, Sekhmet, Ma'at, and Ptah/ Tefnut, Shu, Nut, Geb and Amun Ra/

Verse 1:
I have no time for conformity, No time for conformity/ Importantly, it's time for us to wake up out of dormancy/ Reportedly, with no remorse our culture was ripped away forcibly/ Only to result in my people living life more morbidly/ I can't go along cordially with what's wrong morally/ Ignorance is a normalcy in a society with no priorities/ Look back in his-stories, you can see all the barbarism/ Make that smart decision to accept reality's harsh condition/ Guard your wisdom, so you won't be confused in this stirrup/ For sure I'm about to turn up, explain how the moors civilized Europe/ They brought the dark ages to an end, what I say it may offend/ Look beyond what you were raised to believe from the pages of pretend/ I know you're distraught yo for seeing through the facade bro/ I'm at my spot just reading a lot activating my black dot though/ You know that I got flow, you know I got flow/ Tell me, how can the mind teach that which it does not know?/
Chorus:
Pyramids to the projects is more like a process/ Instead of a tragedy where we gradually lost it/
(repeated 4x)
Verse 2 (Ryan Forest) :
Knowledge of self is the key to get right/empowered through the wealth of our spiritual sides/will you/unlearn their fallacies and search for the light?/or choose to, give into apathy and gradually die?
Nowadays critical thinking no longer pervades, in the, land of deceit and the home of the dazed/-plugged in the matrix of belief and charade/-unwitting players on this new world stage/-complicit witnesses to pillage and rape, as indifference to it just spreads across the globe like the plague/spoon fed, persistent images that down and degrade/till no one, questions conspiracies so clearly at play/"no way!" the common phrase exclaimed by docile masses/blind, bound in caves enslaved to hostile habits/false wealth from banks inflate and raise the taxes/fluoridate your fate, detained for FEMA caskets/--tragic, but orchestrated from jump/from federal reserve frauds to what we pay at the pump/the New World Order is a slaughter of humanity's rights/either awaken to our state or pay the ultimate price/LIFE
Chorus:
Pyramids to the projects is more like a process/ Instead of a tragedy where we gradually lost it/

Gelatin

Verse 1:
I was on that high roller shit, I was on that high roller shit/ But as the polar shifts I awoke to the knowledge of the solar disk/ Step inside the pharaohs tomb and marvel at all the gold and shit/ What you strolling with? A lower mentality, yo let go of it/ Get a hold of it and train yo ego from exploding quick/ Know the risk for running your lips which can get your molars split/ Holy shit I think these lyrics leave you guys in awe/ The flow is crisp and no you haven't heard this side at all/ I've been noticing how society loves to try to ball/ Look inside your mind and you can find the Eye of Ra/ We don't know where we're going if we don't know where we've been/ So many hoes out there hoeing yeah trying to get it in/ The ancients were showing knowledge to help us ascend/ Where do I begin to tell the meaning of the shen/ Bringing light through my pen, help ya up out of that den/ Hope you don't run back in when confronted by Aten/
Chorus:
Yeah I'm goin hella in, Yeah I'm goin hella in/ And when I spit these flows, bitch ass hoes be acting gelatin/
(repeated 4x)
Verse 2:
I got to keep it real, man I got to keep it gutter/ Using my upper mind to raise the conscious of my brothers/ So what is the deal, the deal with you suckers?/ Becoming lovers of a system designed to take you under/ How do you feel, how you feel for the others?/ The ignorant motherfuckas that be hating on people of color/ Agenda's concealed, concealed then discovered/ A population plan to control the land and make man suffer/ Listen here dude, It's not my intent to be crude/ But they're trying to get to you and I especially through our food/ So what do we do? Is it true we're out of time?/ I find the self concerned about health so I switched to alkaline/ No more meat in my belly, Yo I leave it at delis/ I guess it must be good for ya since you seen it on tellies/ Can somebody tell me? Oh somebody please tell/ That when I spit these bars it seem you are so jelly/
Chorus:
Yeah I'm goin hella in, Yeah I'm goin hella in/ And when I spit these flows, bitch ass hoes be acting gelatin/

Afterword
03:20
|
|||
Verse 1:
Some folks just can't let go no matter how hard they try/ Word! And they do what they can to preserve and guard the lie/ There's more to know then what's in the circumference of your awareness/ The unwavering ignorance of dumb shits is perilous/ I keep it 100, you're not thuggish but just squarish/ Look beyond Maya to see that oneness is apparent/ Don't be careless, exercise self control and know your role/ Even organs work together in the functions of the whole/ Knowledge, I drop it hard yeah whatever the topics are/ From Sirius, the dog star, to the use of canopic jars/ Which stored and preserved viscera in the mummification process/ You're getting more brazen Thomas in your efforts to raise your conscious/ I promise, my dedication's honest/ But still I'm facing losses on numerous occasions while erasing nonsense/ While I was sippin my spirits I thought to myself a minute/That, A house has a character of a man who lives up in it/
Chorus:
This is the afterword
(repeated 8x)
Verse 2:
I'm trying to provide a clue to help guide ya through/ But don't get angry at me because society lied to you/ This guy is clever, my programming I try to sever/ The lie has landed because there's no way that it can fly forever/ I apply whatever's discretionary as the lessons vary/ When knowledge is present, faith isn't necessary/ In case you get salty because I lace you with/ Game, then get away with that lame disgraceful shit/ I haven't begun to take you down the rabbit hole/ Or discuss the elaborate role of kemetic magic scrolls/ Just imagine what could happen if knowledge took its tragic toll/ On someone's psyche it's likely they won't even have control/ Mentally and literally they could loose identity/ Essentially a plant reveals what is in the seed/ Enemies and oppressors designed a path to leave our mind harassed/ Have enough wisdom to abandon values of a time that passed/
Chorus:
This is the afterword
(repeated 8x)
