First off let me start by saying the knowledge is out there if you want it. "Seek and ye shall find" You just have to pray directly to God. 'Question everything you grew up believing for you know not exactly where it came from.' I been a fan of Priest for over 15yrs. I now listen to K-Rino 24/7 365! Still love Priest tho..
@takeover08 Good info but somewhat incaccurate. The Council of Nicaea was a meeting held by Constantine the great emperor in325 AD..he was roman Not greek. This is where the first official bible was put together by brining together the different books. He was the first ever Roman emperor who was a follower of the Christ. He is responsible for making christianity legal and he outlawed feeding Christians to the lions or persecuting them in any way. He also declared dec 25th the official...
@takeover08 ...holiday of christ birth throughout the emperor to give christians an alternative to the homosexual celebrations that went on durung december including sun god worship(originally Egyptian, Ra=sun God). The biggest christian church Saint Peters Basilica in the Vatican was built by him before he died. Michelangelo spent 9yrs decorating tho he had never seen Jesus before so he used someone else (probably a white lookalike of the emperor) which today everyone agrees is very inaccurate.
@Adam2JZ Lies Lies, The only power is from god. God isnt out for a complete world order , one nation under him. If you know how god works, He puts the people that are needy at front and after he helped the needy, he stands for the ones that have a bigger income. Though most people that have a lot of money, they mostly see themself as god himself. That's not how this works, thats work of satan self. The ones that want the money are the fake christians, do you think god helped them?
@dropkickM Sorry to burst your bubble but God and Jesus, and even the Bible, are all made up. The Bible is what this song says, Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. The Bible was made up as a way to control a society. Its basically to keep everyone from going crazy and doing whatever they want. Look at the 10 commandments. Theyre used to maintain a "perfect society". The stories you read in the Bible are made up so that when people are going through difficulties, they can relate to the bible
@2JZAdam Well, the society nowadays is pretty screwed isnt it. Why else in revelation would it predict the future. And everything what stands in revelations, has came true. That for a book thats over 2012 years old. The 10 commandments are some simple rules. If you see those rules, you will understand why they were made. The 10 commandments were rules like, no stealing and such. All are pretty obvious if you tell me. At second, governments created laws. They try to make a perfect societ
@dropkickM "And everything what stands in revelations, has came true."
You're a fucking goddamn moron. If you say this, it can only possibly mean you've never read that fucking book. Has the sun lost 1/3 of its brightness? Have the waters of the earth been turned to poison? Fucking idiot.
@dropkickM Religion is a lie. Its just there so we do not question our existence. The thing is how can everyone believe and worship someone they have never seen? Im not trying to bash your beliefs, im just trying to get the truth out there that Religion was man made as a way to control and manipulate a society while making millions of dollars from it
@2JZAdam If people are atheïst , they in my eyes. Are kind of hypocritic. Lots of people swear nowadays, the curse. They say g'damn. That means , asking god to damn you. Atheïsts are people who believe in nothing. Then why asking god for damnation? If youre so convinced there isnt a god. Anyhow, im not trying to convert you, just letting you know where i believe in. Its just waiting and see, if you or me is right. And the answer lies beyond death.
@dropkickM lmao is that the best way you can criticize atheists? god damn has become a saying and people say it to vent out frustration, theyre not actually asking god to damn them, its just a saying ffs
@69GUNOT How did that word come in this planet ? Right, you got no idea. So it doesnt matter if its frustration or whatever. It still involves the words to let a god damn you. Then again, A lot of people critize of the things thats going on lately in this society. A lot of evil plotting. Dont Atheïsts think that there is a good but also a bad side. So in a manner of speaking, you can say that there are always 2 sides to choose. There is never a way in the middle. then again, just wait.
Spider-Man, unicorns, Godzilla, they must all be real if they have names according to your logic. Mankind invents words, that's why there's so many ways to name God. Like Allah or Dios. If God himself gave us his name then why does it vary so much in languages?
@paclac1337 They invent names of things they have seen, known whatsoever. At the tower of Babel, people got seperated by different languages. Every single word you said was in a different language. In english its god, in the middle east its allah. Though the seperate things that keeps my god from the islamic god , wich are actually the same, is religion itself. We christians also have the newest testament, we believe that there was a son of god came to earth. Others dont.
@dropkickM New Testament was created by the Council of Nicaea (homosexual greeks).. Look into Constantine I and SUN worship. The "old testament" is the only testament for us... Like the Most High said in Exodus 4:22: Israel is his son, his first born.
@paclac1337 Thats the big difference you name about the many gods. There is one god, only people invent different names for him. There is also a darker force, some call him satan , atheïsts call it evil. Pretty much sums up everything, that though people are atheïsts they do know something more. Anyway, this is my point of view. Just let people be, i let atheïsts be who they are i let satanists be who they are. Christianity is all about love and peace. Whats wrong about that?
@dropkickM "Atheïsts are people who believe in nothing. Then why asking god for damnation?"
You're fucking kidding me, right? When you say "it's Thursday today" are you even aware that you're saying it's THOR'S DAY? Does this mean you believe in Thor? Get fucking real, man.
It's a common phrase, when somebody says it's raining cats and dogs it doesn't actually mean it's raining cats and dogs. When atheists say god damn they're just expressing frustration
@BoredInfidel Haha wow, kind off big words for a troll like you. Dude , you just read that book i just said. You will be amazed by it. But nuff said, just wait until you lie on that death bed of yours. And by the way, i have read that book. Everything happened or will happen. Just wait, it may take time. And maybe something will mean something else. And waters of the earth have turned to poison, just turn on the television.
@dropkickM the thing is with Christianity the whole question of Jesus even being a real person comes to question besides the bible no other scholars or written works on him have prevailed although the arch of the covenant is a huge evidence that the bible is right although we dont even know what jesus looks like, Cesare borgia as mentioned is the true face of jesus every single painting of Christ came after Cesare
@chickenmaster66 There are written recored of Jesus being in roman prisons yes. The question is how can we trust a bible thats been re-written so many times? The orginal version never even use the term "Hell"
I always thought that was an awesome acronyme for the bible. Never once when i was at church have i heard the bible refered to as The Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth.
wake up yall!!! This song is to wake u the fuck up knowledge and wisdom start understanding whats going on this world!! These rich republicans are having there way with us!!! I dont wanna see fuck jz on here on bitch how lilwayne sucks wake up
MAINSTREAM IS NOT RAP OR HIP HOP. NO STORIES ANYMORE. BITCHES MONEY PARTY BITCHES MONEY PARTY. THEY TALK SHIT ABOUT THE ONES STILL BROKE WITH NOTHIN. STAY WITH REAL SHIT ALL DAY EVERYDAY. WE STILL STRUGGLE.
This is not just one of the best hip-hop songs of all time; this IS one of the best songs Ive ever heard period-- any genre, any era.
There are a lot of songs on You~ that Im pretty surprised they have so few views, you see em all the time: "...this song only have xxx views when ___ has xxxxxx?!" This song, that designation is actually deserved, and profoundly. Everytime I hear the track come in at the close of LS I freeze and take a moment to pay homage to the journey Im about to never forget.
"Cuz if you do your brain is more hollow than Space oblivia, or the abyss"
- Reference to hell, sinful life in NOI.
"dropped the jewel like Solomon"
- Twelve Jewels of Islam (Supreme Mathematics), also biblical reference to Solomon's crown which is symbolic in many pan-African Abrahamic interpretations.
@BlackPhoenix623 better than him rapping about sex, money, or drugs, this song is from his experiences and religious views, his opinion, and thats your opinion, so appreciate Killah priest/gza for being the few artists nowadays that rap from the heart!!!!!
@BlackPhoenix623 The ultimate reality is love, in the sense that everything is inter-related and inseparable. Our egos only give us the illusion that were separate from our surroundings, The test is to act out of love for yourself and others, even if it seems like love won't be returned. Its what Christ died for.
@JNathanK2011 thats why christ neva dies or died as long as there is believers in his message..even the romans who were the cruelest at the time seen the devine in him but were scared of their superiors.
@On3Thought no they're not they are 5%ers supreme mathematics...taught by the father clarence 13X they are god body...big difference from hebrew isrealites.
This song is one of the most important Hip-Hop songs ever. These lyrics are on point, 100% correct. Cesare Borgia is the son of Pope Alexander VI, and his image is that of the white Christ which the Roman Catholic Church set up and fooled the world. The real Christ is black from the tribe of Judah. Listen to the words of this song. I promise you, it's all true.
cause this was originally a gza track on the cd and later on reissues wasnt on vinyl tapes though. still this too me was the best wu tang solo joint out of them all just passing raekwons only built and o d b's return to the 36 dirty version. the method mans album i prefered inspectahs decks uncontrolled substance to it.
Enlightment empowers ENRICHMENT, these processes r a building of a heightened ELEVATION, empire state of ENCOURAGEMENT>my choiced of a error of JUDGEMENT makes controversy NOT COURAGE.
This song and album transformed me as a youngster cause the message helped me seek truth further at the exact time when I was wondering about the who, what, when, where, why's, if's and buts. This tune still strikes a chord with me to this day.
@Thelm64 Also, the bible is full of disgusting shit like genocide, incest, and slavery. It's funny when black men believe in a white jesus. If I were black, it would piss me off that the son of god was a white man.
Well you must be an idiot, because in this song Killa Preist is saying that he agrees with the bible, but he's against people who follow the churches blindly. He'd rather do his own research to look at the bible through an unbiased view. he even says "The bible I embrace."
Nobody cares that you're an atheist either. Go watch some religious debating videos.
not against people, just against the act. "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Ephesians 6:12)
The bible is the word of god and Religion or the "Churches" that Killa Priest is referring to in this song means the people being deceived by irrelevant issues like money. "Swallowed up the poor."
Killa priest is saying he beleives in God and his word, but he doesn't believe in the corrupt pastors and priests spreading lies.
@DumbKunt1 Might Need to rethink that, You can tell he has a belief in God or may even believe we all are Gods, but he is not saying he believes in the bible that is a story taken from Egypt also Known as Kemet.
He believes in Knowledge and wisdom, and he incorporates that with Religion. He finds biases that Mankind has given to the bible such as Jesus being White, have the image of Ceaser Bougiuer. And the fact that some preachers and churches swallow up the poor.
He believes in the bible. And is saying that He studied it well. He questions everything that people are generally ignorant toward.
@Consoli7 jesus is brown skinned....not white....FACT. the nation has done more for people than christianity ever has...dont down talk the nation...the nation is the only org. that could get 2 million black men together in D.C. christianity cant even get 10 people to read the bible.
I used to listen to this one years ago....i was and still is on that knowledge tip....but now it seems even more true than it diod when i was younger!
well it was RZA's beat and production of course but was on Liquid Swords first then was on Priests' first album when he dropped after, RZA timed the releases well. I remember buying both when they came out.
@ttarkus the lyrics/rhyme scheme belong to GZA. After GZA wrote this song, he tried rapping it but he couldn't evoke the message he wanted to because his flow did not match the beat/rhyme scheme and he had no intention of changing the lyrics, so he hit up Killah Priest. All Priest did was spit the verses, everything else belongs to GZA,
@ttarkus because the WU is 1...they dont need to take credit...look at raekwons first album and ghostface's ironman...some songs they were not even on.
i used to think rap music was kind of shallow, just tryin to find words to rhyme with. then i heard this song. wow. this is very well-written. made me totally re-think hip hop.
@ri394 Im glad I understood what hip hop is since I was 10 ... this music is powerful..thats why it has so much negative propaganda so people fear it instead of listening to it. rap is too fast for some minds... now Im glad you got it :D
Stop trying to change peoples mind about religion you dumb atheists. Now i know why most atheists put their religion as JEDI so the annoying atheists get no say in anything.
@dermis719 ouuu mister spell check over here.......... relax buddy who fucking cares? im gna spell it devide just to piss u off lol DEVIDE DEVIDE DEVIDE! get that sand out you're vagina. lou174 spit something true, but your intelegience level only allows u to check spelling, resulting in your ignorance. religion doesnt divide the man divided. you my friend failed horribly go on microsoft word and spell check we dont want you on youtube
@dve76 Lol your mad. its funny you would say anything about intelligence, your post has none.
do you really think name calling will make people take you seriously? i guess i offended you with my religion comment but YOUR to ignorant to realize people have other opinions, your pathetic. go back to making gay little "interveiw" videos you 12 year old
@dermis719 keep sucking ur dads dick, take it out when you talk man i cant understand you....... keep comenting, ur displaying ur stupidity to youtube. where was the name calling? i guess a lil pussy like you takes everything as name calling. your fucking stupid religion doesnt divide its not an opinion its a fact, the man divides religions... its funny how when u realize ur a fucking idiot u keep goin and then u mention something completely irrelevant. YOUR pathetic and you suck dick for crack.
@dve76 LMAO, thats what i would imagine a dumb 12 year old would say. if your gunna be an internet tough guy dont post stupid videos of your scrawny self. Pathetic.
how does a big fool like yourself come across such a good song on youtube?
my son is 11 and he heard of Wu-Tang and lives with his mother and asked her "who is Wu-Tang" she like go ask your father so when he told me that i went n found my albums OMG i couldnt believed how obsessed i was man....33 albums of Wu-Tang and/or affiliates

Cesare Borgia is the son of Pope Alexander VI, and his image is that of the white Christ which the Roman Catholic Church set up and fooled the world. The real Christ is black from the tribe of Judah. Listen to the words of this song. I promise you, it's all true.

Let's say he was a bit enlightened, but not enough. Many parts of the lyrics show he's still thinking really like a dumbass.

@Thelm64 Also, the bible is full of disgusting shit like genocide, incest, and slavery. It's funny when black men believe in a white jesus. If I were black, it would piss me off that the son of god was a white man.

Well you must be an idiot, because in this song Killa Preist is saying that he agrees with the bible, but he's against people who follow the churches blindly. He'd rather do his own research to look at the bible through an unbiased view. he even says "The bible I embrace."
Nobody cares that you're an atheist either. Go watch some religious debating videos.

The Bible and religion are two different things.
The bible is the word of god and Religion or the "Churches" that Killa Priest is referring to in this song means the people being deceived by irrelevant issues like money. "Swallowed up the poor."
Killa priest is saying he beleives in God and his word, but he doesn't believe in the corrupt pastors and priests spreading lies.
Hope this clears that up.
DumbKunt1 3 months ago
@DumbKunt1 Might Need to rethink that, You can tell he has a belief in God or may even believe we all are Gods, but he is not saying he believes in the bible that is a story taken from Egypt also Known as Kemet.

I don't think so, tim.
He believes in Knowledge and wisdom, and he incorporates that with Religion. He finds biases that Mankind has given to the bible such as Jesus being White, have the image of Ceaser Bougiuer. And the fact that some preachers and churches swallow up the poor.
He believes in the bible. And is saying that He studied it well. He questions everything that people are generally ignorant toward.

well it was RZA's beat and production of course but was on Liquid Swords first then was on Priests' first album when he dropped after, RZA timed the releases well. I remember buying both when they came out.
Ricardo11372 5 months ago
@ttarkus the lyrics/rhyme scheme belong to GZA. After GZA wrote this song, he tried rapping it but he couldn't evoke the message he wanted to because his flow did not match the beat/rhyme scheme and he had no intention of changing the lyrics, so he hit up Killah Priest. All Priest did was spit the verses, everything else belongs to GZA,
