[Intro: Dialogue from the film Pi]

When I was a little kid, my mother told me not to stare into the Sun

So once when I was six, I did

The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal

I was terrified, alone in that darkness

Slowly, daylight crept in through the bandages, and I could see, but something else had changed inside me


[Verse 1: Mr. Lif]

I'm the fire bearer, holder of the Sun

The Earth and the Universe combined as one

An everlasting energy taking all forms

Blue skies on sunny days, terrible storms

The one who tears down what you adorn

And curses the material things that you mourn

But look up in the sky because I am the dawn

And the light that empowers your flesh as you yawn

Strong, undeniably so

Lif better known as a society foe

The deity glow, reach into my center

I bet you feel pleasure and pain as you enter

The tormentor, pleaser, embracer, squeezer

As your skeleton crush

Your physical turns into gelatin, plus

Due to over stimuli, you liquify

I send you back to the earth soil to quench the turmoil

When the ground splits to swallow corporations and cops and give birth to rocks

So we can have solid ground on which to walk

Stand strong and talk

We write down theories in chalk on the sidewalk


[Chorus]

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of a nigga who fell

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of the...


[Verse 2: Jus Allah]

My style orbits around nine planets of forces

Ominous metaphorics envision a Devil corpses

Latin Order, mad scientist slash author

Present the type of horror that boils your holy water

Get warped with the knowledge that folds the Holy Father

Hard boys become toys inside the real saga

So why bother, my whole floor alliance is harder

So bring the drama, we all know that science is smarter

I set off crowds, style wild like a circus

I seek new souls when I walk past churches

Allah praise you, stay true to a devout purpose

Seeking out the wives wherever the God searches

Flows that I embark on leave your squadron shadow dodging

Lyrics assault men like slugs that fill the [?]

No option, narrow odds

Fucking with gods is straight gambling with your tarot cards


[Chorus]

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of a nigga who fell

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of the...

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of a nigga who fell

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of the...


[Verse 3: Ikon the Verbal Hologram]

Open the gates of Midian for the fangs like the flesh

Three cyborgs who Bang like Ladesh

We hang the best, spit venom until your face burn

Yet the critics are parasitic like a tape worm

The hate burn and scathe the nerve of a Buddhist

Snake turn and fake yearns; the kiss of Judas

We take lives with knives steady abusing ya

With the vicious intentions of denting your uvula

Bruising ya with text of a Harvard class

Ikon will smash into shards of glass

To reform into a whirlwind of sand

Then reborn into the world Hologram

A solemn man with plans to entwine matter

Minds splatter from the grind of my divine hammer


[Chorus]

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of a nigga who fell

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of the...

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of a nigga who fell

The Devil lurks and my heart irks for the Hell

Look into the eyes of the...

12:45, Restate my assumptions

1. Mathematics is the language of nature

2. Everything around us can be represented and understood through numbers

3. If you graph the numbers of any system, patterns emerge

Therefore, there are patterns everywhere in nature
