Talib Kweli - The Wormhole lyrics

[2Pac interview] "n***as is tellin' me about this Illuminati sh** while I'm in jail - that's another way to keep your self-esteem low, that's another way to keep you unconfident. And I'm putting the 'K' cause I'm k**ing that Illuminati sh**. Trust me. These motherf**ers wanted to k** you, why the f** they gonna tell Farrakhan, why they gonna tell the Nation of Islam, why they gonna tell this n***a in jail about the plan? How did he know? How'd it leak to him? Who told him? Who told him, the Pope? Who? Cause they like, 'the Pope' and 'the money', aw c'mon man, get the f** outta here." [Intro] Oh you n***as wanna get deep? n***as wanna kick knowledge? Y'all n***as ain't deep man, y'all n***as lost me Soon as you steady tryna tell me which rappers in the f**in Illuminati Then I'm like, show me the proof right? n***as start talking about the anti-Christ and aliens and sh** Save the ghost stories for the kids n***a, I'm a grown a** man Let's go, let's go [Verse] You can lead a man to a drink But you can't make him take a sip You can lead a man to a link But that don't mean he gonn' click What's this? Y'all ain't really on no deep sh** I peeped it, scared of a motherf**in' secret Society and only bein' with people you agree with You scared of a chalice scared of d**h Only thing worse is your silence Illuminatis enlightened, the OWL see in the darkness Masonic roots still survive from the book of dearly departed Egyptologist and scholars Symbologists at the college Will all acknowledge that ancient Kemet is where it started Way farther back than the knights Or the Rite of the Scottish You need to wake up, no new Bugatti My enemy tryna stop me but I don't stand a chance If I can't identify 'em properly Illuminati as we know it started in Bavaria Years before it landed on the shores of America The mission: abolishment of government and religion They were enemys of the state And they was hated by the Christians They was Poets, they was Scholars Early Illuminati was sorta like the students In Victor Hugo's Les Miserables The modern day politicians would diss 'em Turning them into martyrs This in turn inspired the founding fathers The vast majority Masons who were the subject of the Illuminati Found this fascination the order was insipiration And ain't no disrespect to the masons But you try to keep secrets then it leads to speculation Only those in league with Satan need to hide infomation That's how you catch a ride to your final destination Where the proof, show 'em proof put it all on the table When the facts are intact ain't no need for a fable Good versus evil is primitive Real life's more complex, what's your context? They put the symbols on the dollar bill, the monument, the obelisk They honouring Columbia the children of the colonists You can trace it back to the root trace it back again It's really just another case of stealin' from the African Racism and vanity justify the sale of flesh You property like cattle or produce but are you still as fresh? Population control is real, you know the deal But still perpetuate the cycle of violence We known to hold the steel No, I don't need no f**in' chorus Use to read so many books Thought I was a hoarder down at Borders Like Behold the Pale Horse or The New World Order But you really don't know what you reading If you really don't know the author A lot of Satan worship is just government propaganda Unsubstantiated lies with no proof a bunch of slander Of course there are forces against you and that's a fact Don't get caught in the distraction, it's bigger than any rapper The truly oppressed ain't got the luxury of inventing a monster The devil incarnate is much realer than the devil in concert What they doing so sinister Worse than any blood sacrifice you can imagine Iller than any cinema The Federal Reserve, the World Bank and the IMF Helping the poor get poorer you in debt until your dying breath Food, vaccines, humanitarian aid They want control of the region, they really tryna get paid Obey thy consumer make a product out of man Where's the conspiracy? It's always been the plan Y'all n***as scared of one world currency But still paying your taxes It ain't the Illuminati that worry me Lack of spiritual energy, suicidal tendencies Unwitting soldiers in the armies of the enemy I'm leaking information so follow me down the wormhole Same reason that they called Bradley Manning a turncoat [Outro] (Man, we supposed to be brothas!) Oh what you tryna get smart? n***a you tryna kick some knowledge? n***a f** that give me your muthaf**in j**elry n***a Take that sh** off Oh you got a pager too huh? You a balla huh? You a balla huh? Gimme that muthaf**in' sh** Better me than the muthaf**in cops n***a
