Due to the 9/11 attacks and other similar terrorist attacks by radical Muslims, Muslims were generalized as being terrorists throughout the world

However, real muslims believe in

paradise and resisting Shaitan

Paradise refers to peace, and heaven, and Shaitan is an Arabic translation for the Devil.

King James VI of Scotland was a polyglot and could translate languages before he was 10 years old. After being king, he thought it was vital to make his own translation of the Bible, which is still relevant today in modern Christianity.

Talib is questioning why it was necessary to change the bible and make his own version.

The King James Version of the bible was

an English translation of the Christian Bible by the Church of England begun in 1604 and completed in 1611. First printed by the King’s Printer Robert Barker, this was the third official translation into English. The first was the Great Bible commissioned by the Church of England in the reign of King Henry VIII, and the second was the Bishops' Bible of 1568. In January 1604, King James VI of Scotland and I of England convened the Hampton Court Conference where a new English version was conceived in response to the perceived problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans, a faction within the Church of England.

The first book of the Bible (which is the religious reference he is making, alluding to the previous religious texts), The Book of Genesis from verse 1-3 says;

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light

Talib is most likely not referring specifically to Chapter 1 verse 2, but making an inference to the assumptions that come from misinterpretations of other, various verses

The Baptist and Catholic are both denominations or branches of the Christian belief.

The term “Baptist” refers to a person who believes in the adult “baptism of believers” in Jesus. In other words, Baptists are those who claim a personal faith in Christ alone for salvation, who also reject the baptism of infants, believing that only adult believers in Jesus, (or those at least old enough to actually understand about trusting in Christ), should be baptized. They also do not believe that baptism itself saves them from their sins.

Like many denominations in other deities, there is very few difference and relating to the overall theme in this poem about togetherness, Talib is saying that all branches or denominations are all the same.

The term “Catholic” means “Universal”. It generally refers to the “Roman Catholic Church”, which for most of these last two thousand years has been the largest and most organized religious group “within” Christendom.

In 2009, Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President of the United States. During that time, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the unemployment rate was 7.8% in January and 9.8% in November

In November of 2012 it was announced that the unemployment rate had dropped down to 7.7%. Although fluctuating from going up and then back down, the rate has stayed moderately the same from now as to when Barack Obama first stepped into office

In The Book of Genesis takes place the story of Adam & Eve in The Garden of Eden.

Also, when Eve bit the apple, the two were kicked out of the Garden of Edan, which at the time was the biggest punishment they could receive. He would be an asshole to go ahead and tell her to bite the apple, knowing full well that she would be kicked out of Edan

A Czar (Tsar) was a descrepitory term used in the Roman era to describe Emporers, Kings, etc. as Caesar, which derived from Julius Caesar

I’m treated like a Czar

Ultimately means he’s treated like royalty

“C” signifying the quantity of 100 in roman numerals, “note” signifying federal reserve note, thus “cnote” signifies 100 dollars.

A C-note is a colloquial for a 100$ bill, the pimp/preacher folds his C-notes

In The Book of John, a miracle is preformed by Jesus where he (Jesus) resurrects Lazarus from being dead.

When Yasiin says

Lazarus was unsilent

He is alluding to the fact that he didn’t go out without a fight, thanks to the help of Jesus
