Begin with the Bible

The basic instructions before leaving earth
Read the Bible, as it contains the fundamental guidelines for a virtuous life.

Life is a test many quest the universe
Life presents many challenges, and people seek answers to universal questions.

And through my research, I felt the joy and the hurt
I have learned a lot through personal research, which has brought both happiness and sadness.

The first shall be last and the last shall be first
The Bible says that those who are humble will be exalted, and those who are exalted will be made humble.

Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve
I have valued intelligence and insight since I was twelve years old.

I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell
I always wished to do the right thing, but I felt trapped by negative circumstances.

Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
I had many imaginative ideas that I couldn't bring to fruition, causing me to feel sad and cry.

Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear
I spent many years plagued by fears, but my enemies were unable to prevent me from pursuing knowledge.

I searched for the truth since my youth
I have always been searching for the truth, even since childhood.

And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
I attended church my whole life, but felt that it was not worth the money I spent on it.

That I was paying, plus the praying
I paid money for the church and spent time praying in it.

I didn't like staying 'cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
I didn't enjoy attending church because of meddling people and distracting women.

That the preacher had souped up with lies
The preacher exaggerated and lied to make his points sound impressive.

Had me cooped up lookin' at loot, butt, and thighs
The preacher distracted me from the religious message by drawing my attention to material possessions and women's bodies.

Durin' the service, he swallowed up the poor
The preacher took advantage of poor people, exploiting them for his own gain during church services.

And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
The poor people were so affected by the preacher's rhetoric that they were reduced to lying on the ground.

But I ignored, and explored my history that was untold
Rather than paying attention to the preacher, I chose to delve into my own unknown personal history.

And watched mysteries unfold
As I investigated, many puzzles and secrets were uncovered.

And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
I shared valuable knowledge like King Solomon, but I do not conform to society's expectations.

'Cuz if you do your brain is more hollow than
If you conform to social norms, your brain will be deprived of true wisdom and knowledge.

Space Oblivia, or The Abyss
Your mind will be as empty and meaningless as outer space or the abyss.

With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss
Your mind will be devoid of valuable knowledge, left only with a meaningless hiss or static.

Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
Is it worthwhile to be ignorant and oblivious?

From a slave we was kept from the mind
Slaves were prevented from learning and were kept ignorant.

And from the caves he crept from behind
Humans originated in caves and gradually evolved to become intelligent beings.

And what he gave, was the sect of the swine
Early humans worshipped pigs, which is condemned in the Bible.

When the Bible, it condemned the pig
The Bible is against the worship of pigs.

I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs
I don't mean to shock or surprise you.

But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban
In the past, my ancestors wore turbans, but now we live in cities.

No more wearing beanies and dress like a Genie
We no longer dress in traditional clothing like a beanie or Genie outfit.

No hocus pocus 'cuz I focus on the facts
I don't believe in magic or deception; I only focus on what is real and proven.

And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax
I shared my knowledge through music (tracks) and recordings (wax).

I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
I will talk about Jacob, which could consume a lot of time.

And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
There is so much information to share that it might alter the flow of the lyrics.

I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
I shared the knowledge anyway, in order to awaken people's minds.

Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
Of those who worship false idols or have rigid religious practices.

Those who sit home, or sell books by the market
Those who are complacent, or exploit religion for profit.

Need to chill and get their mind revived
People should calm down and open their minds.

For years religion did nothing but divide
Religion has often been a source of conflict rather than unification.

I strolled through the books of job to unfold
I read through the books of Job and discovered something unexpected.

And open Bibles, instead of hoping on revivals
I opened the pages of the Bible for enlightenment, rather than relying on religious events.

Calling on His name and screaming hallelujah
Shouting simple prayers and proclamations does not mean you are truly religious.

When he hardly knew ya, that's how the devil's fooled ya
The devil tricks by pretending to be someone else and exploiting the vulnerability of people who barely know God.

See look into my eyes brethren, that's the lies of a Reverend
Believing everything a spiritual leader says without question is not wise.

Why should you die to go to Heaven?
Why should you have to pass away to enter a supposed paradise?

The Earth is already in space, the Bible I embrace
Earth exists in space, so we don't necessarily need to move beyond it to find salvation. Still, I value the teachings of the Bible.

A difficult task I had to take
My journey was difficult and winding.

I studied till my eyes was swollen, and only arose when
To learn more, I studied excessively until my eyes were fatigued and throbbing, only stopping then.

I found out that we were the chosen
My studies led me to believe that my people were meant for a higher purpose.

I deal with the truth, and build with the youth
I always face the truth and seek to educate young people.

And teach my son as he kneels on the stoop
I pass down my values and wisdom to my son on the front steps of my home.

Son, life is a pool of sin, corrupted with foolish men
I tell my son that life is complex and full of mistakes and immoral people.

And women with wicked minds, who build picket signs
Both men and women can be corrupt, and some women use protests for personal gain.

To legalize abortion, the evil eye distortion
I believe that legalizing abortion is morally wrong and shows a distorted sense of morality.

I quiz Son with my wisdom
I challenge my son with my knowledge and test his understanding.

Before I converted, I was perverted, and knowledge was asserted
Before I made this spiritual transformation, I was misguided and focused too much on proving I was smart.

The study of wisdom, I preferred it
I focused more on learning wisdom, rather than trying to show off intellectual superiority.

The understanding, it gave me mental freedom
Understanding important concepts has set me free mentally, making me more secure.

I even learnt Caucasians were really the Tribe of Edam
I discovered that some white people are descendants of a biblical tribe called Edam.

The white image, of Christ, is really Cesare Borgia
The common image of Jesus as a white man is actually a portrait of Cesare Borgia.

And uhh, the second son of Pope Alexander
Cesare Borgia was the second son of Pope Alexander VI.

The Sixth of Rome, and once the picture was shown
Pope Alexander VI was the sixth pope from Rome, and the image of Jesus as a white man spread after the portrait was initially created.

That's how the devils tricked my dome
The devil had succeeded in manipulating me with false images of Jesus.

I prophesied to save a man, but no one gave a damn
Although I had made a prediction to help someone, nobody appreciated or acknowledged it.

For my nation, the seed of Abraham
I made the prediction to benefit my people, who are descendants of Abraham.

Blessed with the tongue of Hebrew
I am fluent in Hebrew, a language many people in my community respect and value.

Now we're strung on needles, and some are plungin' evils
People in my community have become addicted to drugs and some have embraced immoral behavior.

So study and be wise in these days of darkness
I encourage people to learn as much as they can and to be wise in these difficult times.

Peace to my nephew Marcus
I send good wishes to my nephew, Marcus, who may be struggling in his life.
