[Verse 1: ILL BILL] My fist is a gun, my fingers is individual pistols System overload, glitches toe to toe, eye to eye, soul to soul Walk amongst the lords of war, soldier gore Calls these invisible walls to fall Mental slavery, skids a metal prison corridor, cult leader orator Since I was a shorty y’all busy with the .44 The black flag represent the skull and the guns It’s like selling a MAC-11 to Attila the Hun The ultimate in cult leaders, adult folk villains Coke dealings in the champagne room with broke feeling So fake amongst plastic piranhas I’mma put you all to sleep in some acid pyjamas Central intelligence odyssey, mind control biography MK-Ultra, extraterrestrial sodomy Way beyond astronomy, double-O like Sean Connery We walk silently with big silencers violently
“In the land of the blind the man with one eye is the King” This is taken from a novel by H.G. Welles called ‘The Country of the Blind’ where the main character falls down a cliff while mountaineering and loses 1 eye, but he stumbles upon an isolated community/tribe who are all blind. He considers losing his 1 eye as a handicap but in contrast to the blind tribe he’s got a huge advantage and he keeps telling himself “In the Country of the Blind, the One-Eyed Man is King”. (from Latin: ‘In regione caecorum rex est luscus.)
