Talib Kweli - The Wormhole lyrics

"Niggas is tellin' me about this
Illuminati shit 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 killing
That Illuminati shit trust me these
Motherfuckers wanted to kill you
Why the fuck they gonna
Tell Farrakhan, why they gonna tell
The Nation of Islam
Why they gonna tell this nigga 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 fuck outta here"

Oh you niggas wanna get deep?
Niggas wanna kick knowledge? Y'all
Niggas ain't deep man y'all niggas lost me
Soon as you steady tryna tell me
Which rappers in the fuckin Illuminati
Then I'm like, show me the proof right?
Niggas start talking about the anti-Christ
And aliens and shit
Save the ghost stories for the kids nigga
I'm a grown ass man let's go, let's go

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 shit, i peeped it
Scared of a motherfuckin' secret, society
And only bein' with people you agree with
You scared of a chalice, scared of death
Only thing worse is your silence
Illuminati's 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 (Yes)
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 (Keep it goin')
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
(word) , you know the deal but still
Perpetuate the cycle of violence
We known to hold the steel
No, I don't need no fuckin' chorus
Used 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 niggas 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 your enemy
I'm leaking information so follow
Me down the wormhole
Same reason that they called
Bradley Manning a turncoat

(Man, we supposed to be brothas)
Oh, what you tryna get smart?
Nigga you tryna kick some knowledge?
Nigga fuck that give me
Your muthafuckin jewelry nigga
Take that shit off (Beeping)
Oh you got a pager too huh?
You a balla huh? You a balla huh?
Gimme that muthafuckin' shit
Better me than the muthafuckin cops nigga
