y'all might not understand what I talk about
but bush have ears and walls have eyes and temples have mouth
tune yu ears and you will listen
hear When Rock Cry Out
The story
(ANNA BLUE)
he found me
our love would never be
he found me
(SPRAGGA)
lost in a world of confusion and illusion
misinformation and religious deception
while the Vatican look and they laugh
they think they have it all because they taken our half
while the Pope queen and oligarch all in celebration
so close to fully controlling every nation
riding a high horse but soon they'll fall off
I really hope they take it how we taken our loss
new testament it is mostly allegation
old testament is story of my nation
miseducation all in our class
false information to keep us lost
never did we rest or accept their explanation
of the olmec or the aztec and black civilization
causing disconnections distorts of all sorts
couldn't disconnect us from our Divine thought
(ANNA BLUE)
he found me
he found me
(SPRAGGA INTERJECT)
We found you but you not really say where gonna be
He found me
He found me
(SPRAGGA)
why were yu hiding
or were you hidden
who hid you?
why is knowledge of you so forbidden
well
we found your writings
and we know where are they written
we found your temples
found your glyphs and found your scribbles yo
why were you lock away
like life in prison
where are your statues nose and lips
why are they missing
why were your libraries burned
what was the reason
why did they hide
Egypt, Jerusalem and Eden
we found Jerusalem inna Peru
ancient Memphis we found
was inna mexico
Biblical Israel in Central America too
we found the older testament
but on a different continent
common sense mek we cypher what is true
show we clear
what they planed and what they tried so hard to do
from the hall of Montezuma even David tomb deh inna the west
history books and all the clocks must get reset.
(ANNA BLUE)
He found me

and realize say time for all di idling is gone
glad yu didn't waste yu whole life chasing after vanity
Babylon harvesting souls
so many souls already sold

Yo mi cry fi see dem go down in shoal

dem making evil lock dem up
inna this dark cave
but Jah make me so brave

mother nature wash dem weh
in this vast wave
dem inna every last craze
stuck inna a past phase
hey self mi so happy
say yu leave dem lost ways
smooth sailing on the big wide
road that truth paved
never ever again to ever come out of your embrace
(ANNA BLUE)

The lyrics of Benz's song "Blue" touch on themes of knowledge, truth, and hidden history. Spragga, the first vocalist, starts by acknowledging that his message may not be easily understood by everyone. He acknowledges that secrets and truths can be hidden in plain sight, with ears, walls, and temples being personified as avenues of knowledge. He urges the listener to tune their ears and truly listen, pointing to the idea that truth can be found even in unexpected places.
Anna Blue comes in with the line "thief in the night, he found me," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for someone or something abruptly discovering the truth. She expresses that their love will never be because this discovery has come between them.
Spragga continues with verses that explore the confusion and deception in the world, particularly in terms of religion and the control exerted by powerful entities such as the Vatican. He implies that these entities believe they possess total control and knowledge, but he hopes they recognize the losses they have inflicted upon others.
The second half of the song emphasizes the hidden knowledge and history that has been kept from the masses. Spragga questions the reasons behind the suppression of certain information, highlighting the disappearance of artifacts and the burning of libraries. He suggests that ancient civilizations such as the Olmec, Aztec, and Egyptian cultures have been intentionally disconnected from their true history. Spragga states that through their discoveries, they have unveiled the truth about Jerusalem being in Peru, ancient Memphis being in Mexico, and Biblical Israel having ties to Central America. He calls for a reassessment of history, stating that history books and clocks must be reset to reflect these findings.
Throughout the song, there's a feeling of empowerment and awakening, as Spragga and Anna Blue affirm their newfound knowledge and refuse to be deceived any longer. They express their hope for a future where truth prevails and where individuals are no longer lost or enslaved by greed and evil.
