Text: Ras Kass. Interview With A Vampire.
:
[Ras Kass]
You want to talk to God? God never sleeps
[Chorus]
[Ras Kass:] Now what came first, the chicken or the egg?
[God:] Armageddon
[Ras Kass:] A arm a leg a leg a arm a head
Headin in your direction
The riddle was the answer to the question
Born of the flesh, what is perfection
[Ras Kass]
Inside my mother's womb, doomed to return to the tomb
Or was it from the dead I was raised?
All too soon to pay, on judgement day
Is this beginning or the ending
Died sinning, still winning, still grinning
This ending, verdict still pending, born pretending
Three-hundred billion men, women, and children
Deja vu, could be I'm dreaming
But we all ask for divine reason
While still breathing, and until leaving
Who?, What?, When? Where?, How?
But most of all why?
[God]
Why what?
[Ras Kass]
Do we live just to die?
[God]
The Book of Haden
Way before the after God pitting heads
No God for me, mathematically, in division
My decision was all inventions
I need not mention infinite dementions
But the human mind's flaw was limited comprehension
So while you try to travle to Mars and the stars
The God manifests through the entire universe
From the Sun, Moon, the Earth
I created man in my image and the black man was first
The scientific explanation, yea I made man out of dirt
[Ras Kass]
But how can a man be first, when its the woman that's giving birth?
[God]
Listen, single-celled organisms
The homosapien, the albanian
[Ras Kass]
What's that?
[God]
White people
[Ras Kass]
They keep the world seperate and unequal
[God]
The teach you, right is wrong, wrong is right
Up is down
Teaches King Arthur's throne, is the planets that are round
[Ras Kass]
Can we really time travel, and is there life in outer space?
[God]
Wait, you knew all this in the first place
You tryin to get to God
[Ras Kass]
But, I've fallen from your grace
A billion paths to take, but which one is truly straight?
[Chorus]
[Ras Kass]
Can you walk across water or rise from the dead?
I heard he said he lived, and the son of man bled
[God]
It's a process, shit dont just happen, I create it
Everything you see, and shit you dont, son I made it, and waited
I'm the big bang theory and evolution
Been there, done that, from revolution to prostitution
The first and final solution
The quaran, bible, and vedas, is only tools
dont be confused when the medula oblagada do
[Ras Kass]
Oh, so revelations is Genesis
[God]
Three-sixty degrees are limitless
[Satan]
Shit, my motherfuckin nemesis
[Ras Kass]
Who is you?
[Satan]
Son, I thought you knew
Who else? Lucifer, the lie bearer stupid, the devil himself
He the creator, we all the creations, guess i'm eternal damnation
Got you bitches seaking your own salvation
Who taught you how to pray?
You read it in the book, look, your bear witness to Amen Ray
Every day when you say Amen, and then turn aroun
and preach worshippin false Gods, is an unforgiveable sin
Yea the good book is like comic books, you take 'em too literal
I tricked you in to believin' the power to reason
Makes you able to live infinitely, in the physical
Guess I'm the pawn com lyrical
Basically I tell true lies in general, the yin and the yang
The player with a trillion years of game
[God]
He got you sellin your spiritual, for power, monery, and fame
I came out of tripple stage darkness, gave mortals my attributes
But even you may be a mystery God like the lockhead
A used sign to prove or disprove my existence
Tryin to align this, artificial intelligence, cloned in a space station
Tryin to build the tower of babylon
But you savages stake me, when I start erasin homosapiens
You lookin for an angel with wings
I'm 'a bring young niggas with a ak, fuck a alien
[Ras Kass]
So what you sayin is, you the one that created sin
[God]
What you call mother nature, was the nature of me
What you call evil, ultimately, was the force inside of me
Matter cant be created or destroyed it just changes shape
One God, many people, and many faith
And this is how I wanted to do 'em
[Ras Kass]
Wait, wait, hold up
Father tell me, who is God's son?
[Chorus x2]
[God]
I be the Jesus to your Buddah, the Chrishna at your Junah
The big kahauna, Jehova Witnesses, suede pumas
Zuese, Pharoah, Elohim, Saturn, Yaweh Jiah
Arastifa Rah, Allah, the most powerful
But then, only Adam and I
I'm the oceans, the trees, a bumble bee, and a glock
Earthquakes, how much money you ever take
The reason behind every mistake mankind continually makes
[Ras Kass]
Did God create man, or did man need to create God?
[Satan]
The answer is both, cause how mortals look at God is odd
[God]
You try to customize me to be comfortable
For what you want to do, and how you choose to act
The Roman Christians will tell you God aint black
But to get something from nothing is physically impossible, thats a fact
[Satan]
Black is the combination of all colors
[Ras Kass]
White is the lack thereof
[God]
Darkness is beneath the ground, and in the skies up above
The clue, is that the true illumination is me, not illuminati
Cause I alone discriminate
Any who be believing they can rationalize our out reason me
Who created your creature, sutdent can never be greater than the teacher
Wether its Adam and Eve, or atomic chemistry
I'm the one true source of all energy
Who will evantually destroy every enemy when I see fit
I cant blaspheme my own name so when God damn it, so be it
[Satan]
Thats called the wrath of God, but we gotta deal, I can chill
Fuck up the whole world, and in the end,
He'll still fulfill his plan, to return man to his original position
Nigga gave me some hooks, and said I gets to go fishin
[God]
I gave man doiminion over the Earth, to master the wealth
But most of my children dont have dominion over theyself
[Satan]
That's where I come in
Call it original sin
Well, who really gives a flying fuck?
I taught you how to blood suck, and ultimately self destruct
[God]
Know the ledge, wise the dome, do the data
I'm the alpha
[Satan]
I'm the beta
[Ras Kass]
And I'm omega
To be or not to be was man's question since conception
I think therefore I am, was man's perception
But the birth is the ressurection
The son of God, or God's son, that lights our entire spectrum
You got everlasting life, long as you got day and night
Illumination, not education, to bring the blind sight
And what you need to know is that you'll never know it all
I'm a lowercase g, son of the ever-living God
[Ras Kass]
You want to talk to God? God never sleeps
[Chorus]
[Ras Kass:] Now what came first, the chicken or the egg?
[God:] Armageddon
[Ras Kass:] A arm a leg a leg a arm a head
