Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?
Do you know?
What you're going through?
What you're going through?
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
I wanna build a dynasty like JR in Dallas
Have my name written in italics, big letters saying Titanic
Soul controller of the global plan and blueprints of fact sheets
Sitting at round tables with my British knights and black steeds
I don't wanna be a pawn in the game any longer
With no name, no moves, no ranks and no wonga
Still remember when my life was bitter
When I was poor, couldn't afford the meat
So instead I got chips and pitta bread
I used to believe everything I read in textbooks
Not knowing the authors were villains, one-eyed bandola crooks
Distorting facts and stats
Telling porkies to whites and blacks
Changing positions on maps and all of that, yeah
These are the stories we're led to believe
Libraries are designed to deceive
And leave the mind narrow
I know everything I read is all live, true indeed
Best believe I'm passing on Solomon's wisdom to my seed
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
Now
When I was a youth they used to tell me I would be a bus conductor
They said I couldn't be a doctor
Now I am a man, I want a mansion, house and villa and a sports car
I even want a helicopter
Down by the riverside like Moses by the Nile
Little child smiling floating with the tide drifting for miles
While others had luxury, me I had nish
No parental advisory, that's why nothing surprises me
My eyes have seen the wickedness society has done
All the false teachings and fabrications
Leave men on all fours begging for shekels round town
They're tighter than the leggings they're wearing
Sparing no thoughts or pounds they frown
On the underprivileged and poor scorn
Under unborn offsprings offering low-paid porn
Under cover for jobs, some boss just don't give a sub
And praise don't feel no way rubbing them tough in those snobs
Yus, everything they own is ill-gotten, that's why
Society's rotten like that toilet in Trainspotting
Some graduated from picking cotton to picking pockets
I know nothing, just keep it on the low like belly buttons
While you're strutting and scamming them mans is plotting and planning
Pull the wool over your eyes so you don't know what's gwaning
You're hypnotised by the bright lights and nice sights
But have you ever sat back and thought cool, this could be yours
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
I meditate to these kinds of beat like yoga
The Ayatollah, black buffalo soldier
Creating cryptic crosswords in my folder
Puzzles to make your minds boggle
You'll need snorkels, goggles and oxygen
To decipher the type of black London patois
Spectacular vernacular, flipping the lingua like a spatula
Death sentences like fatwa, in fact you are
Now about to witness the strength of street knowledge
From Harlesden to East Dulwich
I earth step across the planet roaming like a nomad
Taking giant steps, crushing oversized amigos, eagles
Deceptive life forms swarm like flies when you're the shit
Coming tall and equipped in starship enterprises
When hardship arises they disappear like Halley's comet
They make me sick to vomit, my stomach turns from the germs
Demonic lizards, exhibiting signs of wickedness
Greed, jealousy and bitterness, society's sickness
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
Do you know what you're going through?
Do you like the things these devils showing you?
Do you know? Do you know?
Do you know what you're going through?
Do you like the things these devils showing you?
Do you know?
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
Don't let them fool you
You can rule the world and the universe
Don't let them fool you
Oh no
Told you once before, I told you once before
I told you once before, I won't tell you no more
Haha, know what I mean?
Go on, go and lay back on the floor
Don't let them fool you no more
Don't believe the bullshit they feed you through your door
All the inundation that we're familiar
