I didn't like staying 'cause of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
That the preacher had souped up with lies
Had me cooped up looking at loot, butt and thighs
During the service he swallowed up the poor
And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor Killah Priest – B.I.B.L.E. (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)

He meant “dizzy” like “confused” chick or like head-spinning.

Only people who really studied supreme mathematics would know this the 5th degree – power & refinement.

Purified gasses within the universes and masses in a large amount. The same elements in the sun. The gods used to have sessions where they taught these elements.

Just wanted to say how fucking ill you are. Not like the fake ass kids on the block now, your lyrics mean something more than showing off. I learn more from one of your songs than I do from going to school. Keep it real man.

How does it spark civilization classes? You mean class of an individual or the study of how civilization is created? Because as it says the knowledge of the culture is to have power, but with us all being one (sun,star, universe, etc.) we all are part of the eternal mind, so isn’t it only natural for the one to unite back to one? and honestly, this is all guessing I really don’t know what I am talking about just wondering.

At a time when 2 Chainz can go up for a Grammy and Drake can win one, it’s nice to listen to this shit and remember what rap’s all about. Expert lyricism from a true fucking Genius.

As humans, we have access to Infinite Intelligence through consciousness.

We are one with The God, and have the ability to create our circumstances. By accessing the fifth dimensional postulate desired, the universe conforms accordingly.

This is the power through which our “eternal mind” manifested “purified gases and masses.. the same elements that helped spark civilization classes.”

Thoughts are things…
They follow the law of the universe –
Each thing must create its kind,
And they speed o'er the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.

Peace! You’ll probably never see this but I want you to know how.much of an impact you’ve had on me. I was baptized some years ago as a Christian but things got really weird so I became more open minded about my life and how I want to live it. I started listening to Wu instead of mainstream crap I was used to. You caught my attention immediately. Ever since I’ve been so intrigued with everything you stand for. I’ve been talking to some Gods and I want to find KOS. I’m Caucasian and understand I can only be a son not a God. I don’t mean to rant but I wanted show some love. Met Ghost a month ago at a show and got his autograph. I really hope I see you before I die. Peace and blessings!

Either this logo or the Wu logo. I have a vaccination mark. Anyone over 30 or 40 years old in America has one. It’s like a barcode.

When I hear this line I think of the root word of vaccinated: the Latin vacca, meaning “cow” (early vaccines were created to treat the cowpox virus) and cattle are animals often associated with branding, as well as being easily coerced.

The smallpox vaccine was delivered in a way that left a mark. “The exposure to the virus tends to leave a sore and itchy bump behind. This bump later becomes a larger blister that leaves a permanent scar as it dries up.”

What to Know About the Smallpox Vaccination Scar — WebMD

Before the smallpox virus was destroyed in the early 1980s, many people received the smallpox vaccine. As a result, they have a permanent mark on their upper left arm. Although it's a harmless skin injury, you might be curious about its causes and potential treatments for removal.

Gza, I love your flow and your out of the box rhyming. I am waiting for dark matter and how you will combine it. I am older now and think rap should be more vast than just what happens on and around the block. I appreciate your contributions to the game.
peace
