Paz is known for his raw and gritty lyrical delivery. His lyrics frequently contain references to religion, war, politics, mythology, conspiracy theories, and the paranormal. His more recent albums such as Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell show a more obvious approach to politics and world issues. This gritty style of Paz became apparent with the release of Violent by Design, and has become progressively more defined since its release.
Raised Catholic, Paz is now a Muslim, which plays a major role in much of his lyrics, often controversially, as on "Heavenly Divine", where he rapped "I'm with Allah 'cause he chose me, I broke into the Vatican, strangled The Pope with his rosary." Paz is also a heavy metal fan, and occasionally uses song titles and band names in JMT tracks and lyrics.
Paz has a number of aliases, such as: "Ikon the Verbal Hologram", "Louie Doggs", "Boxcutter Pazzy", "Pack Pistol Pazzy", "Hologram", "Paz", "Vinnie P", "The Pazmanian Devil", Odrama Vin Laden", "Ikon the Python", and "Pazienza".
End of Days
Vinnie Paz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But no one's saying shit, what happened to the home of the brave?
These motherfuckers they're controlling us now
But no one's talking about it, made us modern day slaves
And everybody's just walking around
Head in the clouds, we won't awake until we're dead in the grave
By then it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up
Everybody enslaved, only some are aware
That the government releasing poison in the air
That's the reason I collect so many guns in my lair
I ain't never caught slipping, never underprepared
Yeah, The Shaitan army, they just break it proudly
George Bush the grandson of Aleister Crowley
They want you to believe the lie that the enemy Saudi
The enemy ain't Saudi, the enemy around me
There's fluoride in the water but nobody know that
It's also a prominent ingredient in Prozac (For real?)
How could any government bestow that?
A proud people who believe in political throwback
That's not all that I'm here to present you
I know about the black pope in Solomon's Temple
Yeah, about the Vatican assassins and how they will get you
And how they cloned Barack Hussein Obama in a test tube
It's like we all know what's going down
But no one's saying shit, what happened to the home of the brave?
These motherfuckers they're controlling us now
But no one's talking about it, made us modern day slaves
And everybody's just walking around
Head in the clouds, we won't awake until we're dead in the grave
By then it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up
Welcome to the end of days
Whoever built the pyramids had knowledge of electrical power
And you know that that's the information that they suppress and devour
Who you think the motherfuckers that crashed in the tower?
Who you think that made it turn into ash in an hour?
The same ones that invaded Jerome
The ones that never told you about the skeletons on the moon
Yeah, the ones that poison all the food you consume
The ones that never told you about Mount Vesuvius Tomb
The Bird Flu is a lie, the Swine Flu is a lie
Why would that even come as a surprise?
Yeah, the Polio vaccine made you die
It caused cancer and it cost a lot of people their lives
Do y'all know about Bohemian Grove?
How the world leader sacrificing children in robes?
Lucifer is God in the public school system
I suggest you open up your ears and you listen
It's like we all know what's going down
But no one's saying shit, what happened to the home of the brave?
These motherfuckers they're controlling us now
But no one's talking about it, made us modern day slaves
And everybody's just walking around
Head in the clouds, we won't awake until we're dead in the grave
By then it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up
Welcome to the end of days
The lyrics to Vinnie Paz's song End of Days are a critique on the current state of society, highlighting the fact that many people have become modern-day slaves to a system that they don't fully understand or question. The song addresses various conspiracies and alleged cover-ups, from the government releasing poison into the air to the sinister agenda of the Bohemian Grove elites. The lyrics urge the audience to open up their eyes and ears, to challenge the official narrative, and to not be complacent in the face of oppression.
The first verse lays out the problem: everyone knows that something is wrong, but nobody is willing to talk about it. The second verse delves deeper into the alleged conspiracies, touching on everything from fluoride in the water to the Polio vaccine. The chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need for action, as it may already be too late. The final verse presents some of the wildest theories, from the pyramids having electrical power to the world leaders sacrificing children at Bohemian Grove. Despite the outlandish nature of some of the claims, the song ultimately encourages skepticism and critical thinking instead of blind acceptance.

It's like we all know what's going down
We all sense something ominous is afoot
But no one's saying shit, what happened to the home of the brave?
No one seems to be taking any action, whatever happened to the courage that used to define us?
These motherfuckers they're controlling us now
Our lives are being dominated by heartless entities
But no one's talking about it, made us modern day slaves
We're all complicit in our own oppression by remaining silent, we've essentially enslaved ourselves
And everybody's just walking around
Everyone seems to be walking through life in a daze
Head in the clouds, we won't awake until we're dead in the grave
We're all living in a fantasy world, ignoring the harsh realities of our existence, and we won't snap out of it until it's too late
By then it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up
If we don't take action soon, we'll find ourselves in a hopeless situation
Welcome to the end of days
We're living in the end times, a moment of reckoning is fast approaching
Whoever built the pyramids had knowledge of electrical power
The ancient Egyptians possessed advanced technology that has since been lost to history
And you know that that's the information that they suppress and devour
Powerful forces have suppressed this knowledge to control the masses
Who you think the motherfuckers that crashed in the tower?
It's not a stretch to say that the same powerful forces were behind the 9/11 attacks
Who you think that made it turn into ash in an hour?
The impact of the attacks was amplified by other forces, causing unprecedented destruction
The same ones that invaded Jerome
The same malevolent forces that carried out the attacks on September 11th are responsible for other heinous acts
The ones that never told you about the skeletons on the moon
There is information about the universe that has been intentionally kept secret from us
Yeah, the ones that poison all the food you consume
There are certain people who are intentionally poisoning our food supply
The ones that never told you about Mount Vesuvius Tomb
There are important historical artifacts that have been hidden from public view
The Bird Flu is a lie, the Swine Flu is a lie
Diseases like bird flu and swine flu have been spread intentionally as part of a larger conspiracy
Why would that even come as a surprise?
It shouldn't be a surprise that those in power are willing to stoop to such despicable acts
Yeah, the Polio vaccine made you die
There are vaccines that have done more harm than good
It caused cancer and it cost a lot of people their lives
The polio vaccine is a prime example of a vaccine that has caused significant harm to individuals and the population as a whole
Do y'all know about Bohemian Grove?
There are powerful secret societies that control our world
How the world leader sacrificing children in robes?
Members of these secret societies participate in disturbing and inhumane rituals
Lucifer is God in the public school system
Our society values immoral behavior and is led by corrupt individuals
I suggest you open up your ears and you listen
It's time to wake up and pay attention to what's really going on around us
