Interpretation: The evolution of rap music hatled, stalled...a few help ush the old rusty vehicle, but the weight of a thousand wannabes has weigned down the art form. As Guru, Menace Clan, the Geto Boys, Devin the Dude, Michael Franti and G.Dep (not the stuff of Puff Daddy masturbating in the background), and a select few other have been trying hard, but the absolute garbage that spews from mouts of clowns like Jay-Z and Nas with their weak views and hypocrisy have clogged the fulue lines of the DJ train... Not to fear, the fuel filter has arrived: Saul Williams. He says exactly what he wants and isn't a sell out insert a true poet.
Saul Williams - Coded Language Lyrics: Attempted deciper..
Saul blames those how take the messages of christ, hip-hop, etc and manipulate them for controlling purposes.
Whereas, breakbeat have been the missing link connecting the diasporic (dispersed cultures) community to its drum woven past
Whereas the quantised drum has allowed the whirling mathematicians to calculate the ever changing distance between rock and stardom.
Where is he going with this? Rock and stardom a metaphor for what?
Whereas the velocity of the spinning vinyl, cross-faded, spun backwards, and re-released at the same given moment of recorded history , yet at a different moment in time's continuum has allowed history to catch up with the present.
Remix, cut and recode....
We do hereby declare reality unkempt by the changing standards of dialogue. Statements, such as, "keep it real", especially when punctuating or anticipating modes of ultra-violence inflicted psychologically or physically or depicting an unchanging rule of events will hence forth be seen as retro-active and not representative of the individually determined is.
Furthermore, as determined by the collective consciousness of this state of being and the lessened distance between thought patterns and their secular manifestations, the role of men as listening receptacles is to be increased by a number no less than 70 percent of the current enlisted as vocal aggressors.
Criticism: Bombastic one-sided shouting match! Continually shouts over the background music rather than MCing with it.
Motherfuckers better realize, now is the time to self-actualize. We have found evidence that hip hops standard 85 rpm when increased by a number as least half the rate of it's standard or decreased at ¾ of it's speed may be a determining factor in heightening consciousness.
Studies show that when a given norm is changed in the face of the unchanging, the remaining contradictions will parallel the truth. Equate rhyme with reason, Sun with season. Our cyclical relationship to phenomenon has encouraged scholars to erase the centers of periods, thus symbolizing the non-linear character of cause and effect
Reject mediocrity!
Refuse what is given and spoon fed to you, instead look beyond the norm.
Your current frequencies of understanding outweigh that which as been given for you to understand. The current standard is the equivalent of an adolescent restricted to the diet of an infant.
The rapidly changing body would acquire dysfunctional and deformative symptoms and could not properly mature on a diet of apple sauce and crushed pears. Light years are interchangeable with years of living in darkness. The role of darkness is not to be seen as, or equated with, Ignorance, but with the unknown, and the mysteries of the unseen.

We claim the present as the pre-sent, as the hereafter.
We are unraveling our navels so that we may ingest the sun.
What does he mean by ingesting the sun?
We are not afraid of the darkness, we trust that the moon shall guide us.
We are determining the future at this very moment.
We now know that the heart is the philosophers' stone
Do not fear the unknown, fear the over embellished known...
Our music is our alchemy (chemistry)
We stand as the manifested equivalent of 3 buckets of water and a hand full of minerals, thus realizing that those very buckets turned upside down supply the percussion factor of forever.
If you must count to keep the beat then count.
Find you mantra and awaken your subconscious.
Curve you circles counterclockwise.
Use your cipher to decipher, Coded Language, man made laws.
Decode, remix, cut the unknown so it better suits your perception.
Climb waterfalls and trees, commune with nature, snakes and bees.
Let your children name themselves and claim themselves as the new day for today we are determined to be the channelers of these changing frequencies into songs, paintings, writings, dance, drama, photography, carpentry, crafts, love, and love.
We enlist every instrument: Acoustic, electronic.
Every so-called race, gender, and sexual preference.
Every per-son as beings of sound to acknowledge their responsibility to uplift the consciousness of the entire fucking World.
Any utterance will be un-aimed, will be disclaimed - two rappers slain.
The same gangsters that rule hip-hop are the same gangsters that rule our nation. Hint: Bush and 50 cent....
Criticism: It is not surprising that hip-hop artists often behave the way they do and the same goes for how bush acts. It is a reflection of our society and the way in which we live. We paradoxically have created the problems in which we live in and yet claim we wish to resolve them...? The problem is that we attempt to solve the problem with censorship and other surface band-aid means which never work because the problem is too deep. Deep enough that only if the problem is addressed by a frank, open, introspective honest look at what the problem is.
