Topic: Evil

Evil

They don't mind you givin' the latest rap
They don't mind your being hoes
They don't mind your being bitches
They don't mind you being whatever image that Viacom and BET can come up with
But what they don't want you to know...
Is that you're the ones who can redefine civilization if you take time to do it

It's a Guerrilla Funk-orchestrated counter-attack
Formulate and infiltrate em so the people react
See if I was wicked I would pick and stick to a plan
To rule the world and trick em, this is how it'd begin

See I'd have to find a way to keep the people enslaved
Behave, teach the babies it's my way or the grave
And start with the body, workin' labor for free
And give em fake religion so they worshippin' me

And see and when the free labor play out, I'd let it go
But only after I made enough to control
Then I'd tell em that the Afterlife is better than this
And that they should love their enemies when faced with contempt

I'd persist with some history that I would rewrite
In a school system where I'd keep the money too tight
I'd let em all know just where they belong in my world
Turn the boys into felons, makin' hookers of girls

Swirled up in my plan, build jails to keep
All my prisons full of niggas, have em workin' for free
See with ghetto-economics in check, I'd keep em broke
Teach em only to respect sports, music and dope

Control the content of lyrics, now only the sound
Of sex, dope and murder in a song is allowed
Tell em' Niggas ain't shit every move that they make
And that black is dirty so they never try to be great

Can you relate? I'd laugh, watch em murder for scraps
Set it up so they'd die over crack I provide
Do it right, and I'd see they try to be like me
Try to be the biggest 'G' up in these murderous streets

I'd teach, manhood means how many women ya f*ck
How many babies you can make, responsibility ducked
f*ck a job, real men are pimps, that's what I'd teach
And if bitches wanna trip, then them bitches get beat

I'd see it all through, never lose and pass a new law
Give em 3 strikes so the men are constantly gone
Yeah, if I was evil they would think I do no wrong
See it's lethal how I keep em in their place so long, believe

Chorus:
I got my eyes upon you, and all the things that you do
Some close they eyes but mine can see, all the evil surroundin' me
So what I'm 'posed ta do, when I can see right through?
Expose the lies and snatch the sheets, fight the evil surroundin' me

Re: Evil

I think I've seen the album cover for one of their albums, or heard them before . . . does one of the covers have a plane and/or the white house on it?

WHOA. Okay, BIG match for me here. Because I'd been wondering a LOT lately about the Icke book and how he reveals Christianity and the world's religions as being symbolic representations of the ancient sun worship. Because if this is true, then where did the teachings of Jesus really come from? Well, either it's a real teaching of what one would be like if one were to 'walk with God' OR it's just made up for the purpose of tricking people into behaving in a passive way.

Now, the lyrics would suggest the latter to be true - but actually this may not be such a big 'match' since this was one of my first reactions towards the matter and I can easily imagine someone else coming to this same conclusion while at the same time not actually having heard (or know) this to be the case.

So, does anybody know? Where do these teachings of Jesus really come from? 'Love thy enemy' - etc. . . . ???

Re: Evil

Okay, no, I was mistaking Evil for Paris. Paris is the one I saw at my friends house - with the plane and the white house on it.

Never heard Evil before, though it looks like it would be hip-hop (which I don't listen to) and possibly similar to Paris - especially in the lyrics.

Hmmm, gee - unless Evil is the name of the song by the group Paris! So is it the name of a song or a group?

Well, then!! Why don't I just continue posting forever withoug clicking the link or even reading the word in the URL!!! YAY ME!  hmm

Fine then! I think I've straightened this whole thing out here . . .

LOL!!!!!  Doh.

LOL, that's what I was going to suggest, but I thought it would sound sarcastic.

I hear lot's of hip hop and rap, and IMO (my opinions ain't humble, thus I omit the "H") most of it is commercial, vulgar, hateful crap, especially lately. But, every now and then a conscious gem comes through, like this one. Hope you enjoy it. I enjoy the lyrics, even if the "music" doesn't quite grab me wink
