[Intro]

The thing that has been

It is that which shall be

And that which is done

Is that which shall be done

And there no new thing under the sun

[Verse 1]

We're passed the stages of mediators discussing discrepancies

Blast gauges at greedy haters, busting this weaponry

Concussions crushing adversaries for stepping to me with disputes

The first lesson will be to shoot

Before your question me and my troops

We ready to congregate

The drama’s waiting for you when you come in stressing me

Wе ready to dominate, you testing mе

And I'm graded straight A's on all report cards

Collect obituaries like they’re sports cards, crash you like a sports car

Resort to hard tactics, smash you like trash compactors

Drastic endeavors, taking no shorts 'cause I want my money to last forever

No way you can retort

You get aborted, abducted, destructed

Just a other enemy deducted (Why?)

'Cause I must get paid, corrupted (By)

By the streets, hypnotized by the ghetto's glamour

Penalized by the heat I'm feeling living in these devils' hellish slammer

Chilling even though the flames is building

Filling my heart with pain

It's burning but I'm still in position

On my guard, hold my aim

Four-star general yelling for orders at my higher power

Sort of pitiful, screaming at the sky for hours surrounded by these silent cowards

I’m down to die this hour for us to reach the mountain top

Let it breathe, either kill me or feel me, Malcolm X and Pac

[Chorus]

Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged

And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave

Got us completely distracted with these theatrics

Plan, plot, strategize, it’s not the time to be reacting, bomb first

Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged

And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave

Got us completely distracted with these theatrics

Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first

[Verse 2]

It’s too late to make an excuse, put on your boots

Get armor, weapons, and kick off Armageddon with or without a million troops

It's been delayed, my men enraged, 12 disciples and Arch Angel Michael

Coming to put these demons in their grave to change the sinning cycle

A gang of menace psychos, sociopathic products of the hood

Society's laughing at it, you either problematic or you being good

So this automatic spit sporadic

Haphazardly hitting that random graphically

Getting at 'em, misanthropy

I can’t stand them, they after me 'cause I can see 'em

Even though they invisible

But I'm watching 'em with my heart and soul 'cause they indivisible

As a consequence result, I'm invincible

They're manipulating your mind 'cause you're so convincible

But I'm stipulating mine and it is intentional

I mean it all, I walked with prophets like Nostradamus, I've seen it all

It ain't no false promise all for profit, I mean it, y'all

I got your back until the wheels fall off, I guarantee it, y'all

[Chorus]

Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged

And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave

Got us completely distracted with these theatrics

Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first

Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged

And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave

Got us completely distracted with these theatrics

Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first

[Verse 3]

Consuming your brain, bruising the rap game with game

But these ain't lyrics, these is gems, proverbs, psalms and hymns

When we die, embalm me and my men with herbs and gin

Be calm, don't cry, warriors deserve to win

We were victorious in death though we were failures in life

Now we notorious for destroying ourselves in this sacrifice

In the afterlife, I'ma grab the mic and voice my grievance inside

Most to the glorious, thank the Lord for receiving us

Thought we had no choices, no options but they were deceiving me

Throwing smut on my leaders, just to keep 'em from leading me

Teaching me nothing but silence, feeding me violence on television

I got a defiant conscious mind, at night I'm having hella visions

My grandma yelling wisdom in my dreams

Had to be in a cell in prison realizing that we Kings

The horizon ain't what it seems, it's all just a mirage

Theorizing and spitting non-fiction, so help me God

[Chorus]

Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged

And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave

Got us completely distracted with these theatrics

Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first

Ecclesiastes, we need to be active, engaged

And rage against the machine, we need to attack and enslave

Got us completely distracted with these theatrics

Plan, plot, strategize, it's not the time to be reacting, bomb first, Ecclesiastes

[Outro]

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter

Fear God, and keep his commandments

For this is the whole duty of man

For God shall bring every work into judgement

With every secret thing

Whether it be good, or it be evil
