Black Water is a company that hires and trains mercenaries that were widely used in the Iraq war. They changed their name to Xe (pronounced "Z") because, naturally, their name and public image was tarnished.
Solon
"Reform like Solon in the Parthenon." Solon was an ancient Athenian statesmen who instituted agrarian reforms (like Tiberius Gracchus did). "Destroy Sauron, roll like Arogon" is a Lord of the Rings reference. Sauron is the evil wizard and Aragorn leads the fellowship of the ring. "Whirl wind with the pen like M. Shamalon" is referring to the movie Air Bender which was still not in theaters when I wrote this.
"Obama just a pawn of U.S. pentagon cuz Wolfowitz wrote a neo-Monroe doctrine so, profit flow grow dough for forever with power unfettered." This is referring to a whole lot of American military history in a small segment. When I wrote this Obama hadn't made any serious steps toward changing the direction of foreign policy that the Bush administration left in place. Regardless of this our president is a pawn of the military establishment (U.S. Pentagon) because the Wolfowitz Doctrine is a contemporary Monroe Doctrine that protects American imperialism.
Paul Wolfawitz
Neo means post or "second." So when people talk about the "neo-cons" they are talking about neo-conservative or what being conservative mean now (politically), compared to what it did mean. The Monroe doctrine was a military plan to prevent European intervention in the Americas and was introduced by President James Monroe in 1823. The Wolfawit's Doctrine is a private government document that leaked to the New York Times. The proposal sparked controversy and was criticized for being imperialistic, outlining preemptive military action to prevent any other nation from rising to super-power status. In essence, the document allowed American foreign policy to enforce the U.S. military as the sole world super-power.
"Cause the Budget grew for Project new, American century steer'n the industry." The Project for a New American century PNAC was a think tank whose members included such leaders as Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Richard Pearl. From the beginning in 1997 this group advocated conflict and the invasion of Iraq. Knowing this group's motivations, it is obvious to see why we ended up in Iraq although there was no connections between Iraq and 9/11 or Iraq and WMDs (Weapon of Mass Destruction). To me, it is easy to see that the Bush administration, with the help of an unquestioning media, blatantly lied about intelligence initiatives to fulfill a pre-conceived plan thought-up years in advance.
"Slither like snakes, com hither the apes are change'n our fate, and lett’n Hitler escape." This lyric is a reference to the Edulution track which compares our behaviors to that of a monkey/ape.
The Death of War is largely based of the documentary "Why We Fight" and is about ending the propagation of war by realizing it is a religiously driven motivation. However, the dogma is profit accumulation with no real regard for the human cost or the inter-generational tyranny of investing America’s infrastructure, and therefore future, into a system of destruction and death. In order for America to succeed in it’s removal of detrimental influence, it would have to rid itself of corporate entrenchment; specifically that of, what Dwight D. Eisenhower would call, “The Military-Industrial-Complex.” This is exemplified in “The Death of War” by metaphorically killing Dick Cheney who is the quintessential example personifying the corruption and entrenchment of big business and government.
Edulution: 13 Mind Control by Lyceum Recordz "None are more helplessly enslaved than those who faslely believe they are free." - Johann Wolfgang Goethe Mind Control picks up where The Rebirth of Hope left off. The intro sets the stage for the song's intensity and creates an allure that the listener is not going to necessarily like what s/he hears, but it is necessary to recognize because people are playing with your mind like it is a Nintendo game. The use of the word 'Nintendo' here is suppose to be as an inter-connecting reference to " Puss & Cush (Nintendo)." The first verse touches on the reality of conspicuous consumption, how it is promoted by the corporation, and then continues to be perpetuated by mass conformity. This pursuit for material wealth has us to the point of having trash heaps which leach methane gas. The second verse is a whole mess of knowledge and information crammed in...
Edulution: 20 Hey! by Lyceum Recordz Hey! is a poem that is about finding a compatible mate; rather than strictly just someone who is physically attractive. A bazaar is an old and universal term meaning store or market. I am trying to paint a picture of an older black woman named Charese who comes over to me from across the bar to try and 'pick me up' for the night. She is smart and open minded! She shocks me by being selfless, buying a couple drinks just to have a good time, and dedicating them to cleaning up the gulf--which, when I wrote this, was being filled with Oil by the BP spill. However, it is impossible to ignore that she is looking at me with wanting eyes. Source Eventually, after the drink settled in, I make up my mind to pursue a one night stand and go home with this beautiful cougar. We stumbe into a taxi falling all over eachother and fornicating in such a mannor that the driver gets a show of affection on the way there. Upon arriving at he...
Edulution: 19 Superhoe [E$] by Lyceum Recordz I am a big fan of KRS-One and he has a song called super-hoe where the lyric is "Scott La Rock had a ball! He is the superhoe." So I am paying my respects with the lyric “Like Scott La Rock, when I rock I never stop.” ( Source ) E$ , the Superhoe , is Ryan Gosling’s character in “Crazy. Stupid. Love.” It’s almost exactly what I was thinking of. E$ has his way with women because he can... He is hansom, charming, rich, has good taste with impeccable dress and a repoire that leaves women whimsical with a mind-set wanting the priledge of engaging in sex with ‘such a remarkable’ and, quiet dazzling, counterpart. That, and the girl really just wants to have promiscuous and uninhibited sex with a man she finds incredibly attractive. Like railed, hard! The problem comes when the two hot, passionate lovers come to know eachother. She tought he was a banker (hence his implicitly and inexplicably rich decor) and he just w...
