Lyrics

[Intro] The thing that has been It is that which shall be And that which is done Is that which shall be done And there no new thing under the sun [Verse 1] We're passed the stages of mediators discussing discrepancies Blast gauges at greedy haters, busting this weaponry Concussions crushing adversaries for stepping to me with disputes The first lesson will be to shoot Before your question me and my troops We ready to congregate The drama's waiting for you when you come in stressing me Wе ready to dominate, you testing mе And I'm graded straight A's on all report cards Collect obituaries like they're sports cards, crash you like a sports car Resort to hard tactics, smash you like trash compactors Drastic endeavors, taking no shorts 'cause I want my money to last forever No way you can retort You get aborted, abducted, destructed Just a other enemy deducted (Why?) 'Cause I must get paid, corrupted (By) By the streets, hypnotized by the ghetto's glamour Penalized by the heat I'm feeling living in these devils' hellish slammer Chilling even though the flames is building Filling my heart with pain It's burning but I'm still in position On my guard, hold my aim Four-star general yelling for orders at my higher power Sort of pitiful, screaming at the sky for hours surrounded by these silent cowards I'm down to die this hour for us to reach the mountain top Let it breathe, either kill me or feel me, Malcolm X and Pac [Chorus] Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave Got us completely distracted with these theatrics Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave Got us completely distracted with these theatrics Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first [Verse 2] It's too late to make an excuse, put on your boots Get armor, weapons, and kick off Armageddon with or without a million troops It's been delayed, my men enraged, 12 disciples and Arch Angel Michael Coming to put these demons in their grave to change the sinning cycle A gang of menace psychos, sociopathic products of the hood Society's laughing at it, you either problematic or you being good So this automatic spit sporadic Haphazardly hitting that random graphically Getting at 'em, misanthropy I can't stand them, they after me 'cause I can see 'em Even though they invisible But I'm watching 'em with my heart and soul 'cause they indivisible As a consequence result, I'm invincible They're manipulating your mind 'cause you're so convincible But I'm stipulating mine and it is intentional I mean it all, I walked with prophets like Nostradamus, I've seen it all It ain't no false promise all for profit, I mean it, y'all I got your back until the wheels fall off, I guarantee it, y'all [Chorus] Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave Got us completely distracted with these theatrics Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave Got us completely distracted with these theatrics Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first [Verse 3] Consuming your brain, bruising the rap game with game But these ain't lyrics, these is gems, proverbs, psalms and hymns When we die, embalm me and my men with herbs and gin Be calm, don't cry, warriors deserve to win We were victorious in death though we were failures in life Now we notorious for destroying ourselves in this sacrifice In the afterlife, I'ma grab the mic and voice my grievance inside Most to the glorious, thank the Lord for receiving us Thought we had no choices, no options but they were deceiving me Throwing smut on my leaders, just to keep 'em from leading me Teaching me nothing but silence, feeding me violence on television I got a defiant conscious mind, at night I'm having hella visions My grandma yelling wisdom in my dreams Had to be in a cell in prison realizing that we Kings The horizon ain't what it seems, it's all just a mirage Theorizing and spitting non-fiction, so help me God [Chorus] Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave Got us completely distracted with these theatrics Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave Got us completely distracted with these theatrics Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first, Ecclesiastes [Outro] Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter Fear God, and keep his commandments For this is the whole duty of man For God shall bring every work into judgement With every secret thing Whether it be good, or it be evil
