lyrics

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/
