The way he paints a picture of some villain just beyond our understanding is so effective and keeps me coming back to this song. Makes me feel like there’s monsters in the world to fight.

    Verse: Jay Electronica]
    Pigs with the heads of men spat acid
    That lasered my third eye closed like LASIK
    A midget in a casket like a baby in a bonnet
    With a bottle and a basset horn playing the theme song
    From Children of the Corn, oh I must be dreaming
    A lady in a night gown puffing kush screaming
    Signalled me over, "Psst, you with the waves
    I’ve seen you from the Catholic church steeple diggin' graves
    I got your number sonny
    So ain't no use of fighting, yelling or running from me"
    "I never ran ma'am", "Well then you ain't a clever man Sam"
    Listen, the two-faced king from Britain and Rome
    Had a baby in a bush on the grassy knoll
    Where they peel back the orange head peel of a gnome
    He said "Hey MC, I know you like killing 'em
    You terrorized the skies for 25 millenniums
    Now you settin fire to land
    You the lion, you the savior, the messiah, the lamb
    You need back up, you moving on the youth at dawn
    Call Badu and get Tyrone on the megaphone
    Tell'em I sent you and your codename is Megatron
    If trouble comes use your brain like a telephone
    He'll take you to the Chocolate City
    Where two-face and the prince of darkness had a Committee of Snakes
    Drill 'em, let the skin peel off to reveal him
    Then spray 'em wit them rhymes you like spilling
    Hit 'em up real, real good but don't kill him
    We only want to burn him to the point that they willing
    To give the location of the blank face villain
    Who split atoms and give mushrooms to civilians
    Hiroshima never recovered and all the evidence was smothered
    Under a thick cloud of rubble
    The pope is his brother
    The hillsides is his mother
    That statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover
    She's a harlot, who stood still like time while New York turned scarlet
    And the levee monster sucked up New Orleans
    While they was playin' man vs. man in Afghanistan
    With they mind on Iran, Iraq and Sudan
    Let him recruit you, he will try to use his powers to seduce you
    Just let him think that the feeling is mutual
    Because if he found out that you already knew
    The atom had a positive, a negative and a neutral
    He'll probably salute you
    Then wait till you turn your back like a coward and shoot you
    People this shit is crucial

The mission was to infiltrate government or some secret society out there via music to find something out. When I read about him linking up or dating that Rothschild woman, I keep thinking about his mission and this song as if he was telling us he is only here to complete a task and is not really caught up on the fame from hip hop.

    "Pigs with the heads of men,"
    I think this is a reference to Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," considering the overall theme of the track; Hiroshima, Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan...
    The (war) pigs are the Mythical figures:
    "The Two-Faced King from Britain and Rome" (two civilizations that were built through military conquest)
    "Had a baby in a Bush" George W. and George H.W. represent the baby, as they followed Britain and Rome's blueprint of conquering through military force.
    "He'll take you to the Chocolate City (Washington DC)
    , where Two-Face and The Prince of Darkness had a Committee of Snakes."
    "Two-Face" is, of course, Brittain and Italy (Rome). "The Prince of Darkness" (Satan) is The United States because the pentagram (5-point star) often represents Satanism, and as Ras Kass put it, "Inside every pentagram is a pentagon." The Pentagon, (Headquarters of the Department of Defense). The "Committee of Snakes" could be George Bush's "Coalition" for the invasion of Iraq, or he might be referring to NATO

    It's like Jay Z paid him not to make music. Such an emigma

      It can mean anything honestly... Since he's god body I like the fact he said the hill sides is his mother (mother earth/ mother nature) thats how I took it... But he said all of this was a dream he had one day so Idk

    Honestly, the first dozen times you do it, you'll be too blown away by the sheer amount of information being thrown at you all at once to gain ANYTHING out of it, let alone a "revelation" or "secret". You learn to humble yourself more, I feel that's the greatest part of the substance. It makes you feel so tiny, but extremely large at the same time.

    [Verse: Jay Electronica]
    Pigs with the heads of men spat acid
    That lasered my third eye closed like LASIK
    A midget in a casket like a baby in a bonnet
    With a bottle and a basset horn playing the theme song
    From Children of the Corn, oh I must be dreaming
    A lady in a night gown puffing kush screaming
    Signalled me over, "Psst, you with the waves
    I’ve seen you from the Catholic church steeple diggin' graves
    I got your number sonny
    So ain't no use of fighting, yelling or running from me"
    "I never ran ma'am", "Well then you ain't a clever man Sam"
    Listen, the two-faced king from Britain andRome
    Had a baby in a bush on the grassy knoll
    Where they peel back the orange head peel of a gnome
    He said "Hey MC, I know you like killing 'em
    You terrorized the skies for 25 millenniums
    Now you settin fire to land
    You the lion, you the savior, the messiah, the lamb
    You need back up, you moving on the youth at dawn
    Call Badu and get Tyrone on the megaphone
    Tell'em I sent you and your codename is Megatron
    If trouble comes use your brain like a telephone
    He'll take you to the Chocolate City
    Where two-face and the prince of darkness had a Committee of Snakes
    Drill 'em, let the skin peel off to reveal him
    Then spray 'em wit them rhymes you like spilling
    Hit 'em up real, real good but don't kill him
    We only want to burn him to the point that they willing
    To give the location of the blank face villain
    Who split atoms and give mushrooms to civilians
    Hiroshima never recovered and all the evidence was smothered
    Under a thick cloud of rubble
    The pope is his brother
    The hillsides is his mother
    That statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover
    She's a harlot, who stood still like time while New York turned scarlet
    And the levee monster sucked up New Orleans
    While they was playin' man vs. man in Afghanistan
    With they mind on Iran, Iraq and Sudan
    Let him recruit you, he will try to use his powers to seduce you
    Just let him think that the feeling is mutual
    Because if he found out that you already knew
    The atom had a positive, a negative and a neutral
    He'll probably salute you
    Then wait till you turn your back like a coward and shoot you
    People this shit is crucial
