[Intro]
The mind, Heavy Mental
Jesus Christ is Heavy Mental
Everything brings in Heavy Mental day
The day you will experience something Heavy Mental
Never done, Heavy Mental ..
[Verse]
Information begins gathering
Starting to pattern in the Stargate towards Saturn
Between the eye socket is where I will build my sky rocket
You don't need any passport, all you need is a thought
Suddenly, the soul becomes hot as coal
The flame blows from out my brain holes like a volcano
The brain begins the process
As we start the conquest from out the physical bondage
The thought launches
Voyaging 144 billion light years through the shadows of your imagination
Do you see the flaming arrows aiming at Pharaoh's inhabitations?
As we begin the racing like a sparrow
Through the narrow population, seeking purification
The destination is the Holy Land of Bethlehem
Eat lamb with Abraham and break bread with Son of Man
So slowly, hold these hands
And stretch forth from the skies like a rubber band
As we begin to snap you above the land, out of the atmosphere
Don't look back, why? We're Almost There
Just try to prepare and adapt to the air pressure
Now we searching for the mental treasure
Pleasure beyond the measure of yards
You can't comprehend a God or the distance between stars
Picking up quasars inside the radar
As we're going far past any astronaut
Moving so fast in this aircraft, everything we pass get hot
From the take-off, the blast turn the glass into rocks
At last, my supreme task was to no longer walk on green grass
Until I become a beam of gas and travel through extreme draft
Unable to be picked up through cable
Out of the reach of all manners of sky-examiners
Heaven scanners, giant antennas, and high tech space cameras
No evidence in any cemetery obituary
Not found in any library or dictionary or encyclopedia or media
I'm in star mode , with the discipline of Damo
I broke the U.S. bar code
Now I'm on Allah's road, to journey into realms of the cosmos
Where only God knows or goes
Blow like the U.F.O., to give up my work clothes
Only to glow with a holy robe and explode
Through the mysterious black holes
Deep warp through the outer zone without a phone to the unknown
To sit on my throne alone, Heavy Mental
The pilot on this galactic plane of knowledge
Through culture, my sculpture lights up in ultraviolet
So you can see my brain is symbolic to a palace
Therefore, I keep my hair stylish
My flesh solid and my teeth polished
Next stage, examine my x-ray
Take notes for your essay and let the cassette play for longer than a decade
As we begin to blaze through the Milky Ways
Repent from our filthy ways, replenish from the guilty days
The eyeballs swell up to size of eggs
Neon dreamland, wing span 7 feet
Between my eyes is the beak
Destination of the riders to reach is the peak
Angelical landscape
Will take he physical man behind the hidden gates of space
Ultimate escapes as we go through a phenomenal rate
As we cruise going into magnitude
As we break up into a multitude of molecules
Going through a long hollow tube with a scholar's view
As we wearing the white garment
Passing sound waves that's supersonic
Passing the comets, star clusters
Changing my physical structure 'til my lips begin to pucker
Kissing Christ at The Last Supper
Grabbing the brass cup of wine ( Heavy Mental )
I feel myself getting older
Sitting on my sofa, in the position like yoga
'Til my mind passes over the solar system
My wisdom novas, I am the controller
I begin to loosen up my shoulders
Forming each joint into the Sun's 8 points
Then I begin to rise like helium, escaping the Millennium 2000
Meditating to the soft notes of a violin
Building the holy synagogues for the royal seminars
Long before they had the renaissance, there existed a Hebrew lodge
Heavy Mental
A phenomenon from out of the matrix
The world looks at me with envy and hatred
Just because I appear to them half-naked
Rising into a spaceship, with an arm full of solid gold bracelets
A phenomenon from out of the matrix, Heavy Mental
[Outro: Killah Priest]
Now the only time – Heavy Mental
The only time you should catch... Heavy Mental
Only time you could have jet lag, is if your cassette drag
Heavy Mental
Barak ahthah Yahawah wa Yahawashi – Heavy Mental
Yo, just chill – Heavy Mental
Stop the tape – Heavy Mental
(STOP IT!) Heavy Mental
As 5 percent poor righteous teacher, great knowledge flows in a great deal from his brain.
In a signature cryptic and mystic delivery, Priest explains somewhat of a spiritual journey across space he experienced. In a string of rhymes, he transitions from his human form evaporating into dust to an extraterrestrial realm without observation.
In his extended isocolon and polysyndeton about the world’s inability to pick up his signal, Priest also uses this as an implicit jab at technological government surveillance. While the subject at the time of this song was not as prominent as it is now, discussing over-documentation of individuals was not new to hip hop (at least not in his circles).
On the other hand, this could all allude to Priest’s initiative to ‘spread’ knowledge, in doing so reaching a new (and perhaps celestial) level of consciousness.
There is what appears to be the carving of a face and a pentagonal pyramid on the surface of Mars. I know it sounds crazy but google dat shit and you’ll see images like this
Pharaohs the rulers of all Ancient Egyptian dynasties, the book of Exodus tells how the Israelites are enslaved in Egypt and eventually escape under the leadership of Moses.
Flaming arrows could be Killah Priest’s knowledge as a 5 percent poor righteous teacher educating the eighty-five percent to what this hidden or veiled knowledge really is, and breaking them free from mental enslavement.
There are no restrictions to thinking. You’re free to think and believe whatever you want. The journey doesn’t require any credentials, as long as you can think for yourself, your welcome to join the ride.
Later in the album, in the song “Almost There”, Priest will repeatedly ask the question:
Am I almost there?
Yeah, I’m almost there
Am I almost there?
Yeah, I’m almost there
Am I almost there?
His thoughts are taking us on an extremely long journey, but he reassures listeners that we have almost reached the destination.

A Hebrew prayer/chant:
Barak ahthah Yahawah wa Yahawashi
BARAK AHTHAH = BLESS YOU
Yahawah = God
Yahawashi = Son the Savior
Killah Priest is eating the sacrificial lamb that Abraham had offered God in the story of Abraham and Isaac Genesis 22:1-14
Priest also spits 2 double entendre’s here. The first, to “break bread” as a slang term to share assets or money, as well as the biblical meaning 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 to break bread or give thanks like in Communion. Second the “Son of Man” is reference to Jesus the Son Of Man Matthew 26:64, as well as the Sunz of Man, Killah Priests' Wu-Tang Clan affiliated group.
Inside your mind is where you’ll experience the voyage that Killah Priest is about to drop. He’s telling the listener to use their imagination.
Damo in Chinese, also known as Bodhidharma, was a Buddhist monk who is traditionally credited as the transmitter of Chan Buddhism to China, and regarded as its first Chinese patriarch. According to Chinese legend, he also began the physical training of the monks of Shaolin Monastery that led to the creation of Shaolin Kung Fu and Zen Buddhism. Shaolin Kung Fu is heavily referenced and sampled by Wu-Tang Members. For Killah Priest to have discipline of Damo, he must have strict concentration through deep meditation.
Physical bondage could be a 5% doctrine of eighty-five percent that are believed to have no “knowledge of self”.
The templars had found a lot of books unknown in europe during their period, and brought them back with them.
They were suppressed in 1307, and whatever they had trickled down to those that inherited their legacy.
By 1555, there was the printing press and “King James Bible”, which turned africa into a cursed land.
With the rise of the de Medicis in Italy, the Renaissance began. They were patrons of people like Ficino, MIrandella whatever, and others, who were translating these texts.
