I love this more than Eminems whole catalogue, EYEDEA was a super genius, lord jamar said white rappers are just guests in hip hop, this proves him wrong.
Lord Jamar musta never heard of Eyedea. There’s no way you can deny the message and talent in this track. I don’t care how racist against whites you are lol
He’s literally telling you the lie we all choose to live in so willing unknowing that we are subliminally being controlled by those that are chosen to be at power.
Yea definitely I was too young to really understand the lyrics I just liked the music but now I really understand everything he was saying cuz I’ve gone through a lot of the things he described in his music it’s very relatable & relevant
[Verse 1: Eyedea] The leader of the drug culture's The leader of the country The root of all evil's buried deep within the money Society's a machine; a puppet with invisible strings While we dream, the eye on the pyramid sings The wings we're born with were quickly clipped to fit the form We're kept warm and senseless, your shepherd's relentless Every genius was considered a madman in his time From Jesus all the way down the line to Einstein And people are so naive to believe They chose their frame of mind You're conditioned so you don't revolt While the plan is in its prime That's why things like alcohol were designed I'm not paranoid, you're just blind and that's fine If you never wanna find out who invented the game And told you can only use 12 percent of your brain Nowadays if you believe in aliens you're perfectly sane But a century ago a thought like that would get you chained [Refrain: Slug] At his beck and call, let's set you all up against the wall At its will, will even kill or be still my beating wrecking ball For his enjoyment, we'll toy with what you perceive Till you not only get the point but till you believe [Hook: Eyedea & Slug] [E] Burn the books, push the heroin, assassinate the speaker [S] You need some dream sweetener!

eyedea had huge star power, probably more than slug, terribly sad he got into opioids. huge respect to him for turning down Diddy's record offer, but i think that is probably where it all started to go downhill for hill.
@Wankshaftsbury what happened to him? Nothing, he still makes music. Still popular, still doing shows, festivals. He definitely wasn’t overshadowed when it comes to mainstream appeal.
Yea definitely but all great artists hit their peak & they never reach that level again, but i still respect Slug definitely but his old music was really the cream of the crop, Eyedea is comparable to any other great rockstar musician that died young all the greatest artist go out the same way it’s trippy to think about. Now its my job to take their inspiration & create a new wave of music that’s my calling
Dude thank you for spending the time to find this. I heard this back in 08 on my cousins old iPod black. I can't even tell you how many times I looked for this.. It popped up in my recommended and I clicked it without even knowing, bless. R.i.p Mikey
right when I was losing the will to keep on a track from my two favorite mcs of all time appears that I've yet to hear. that's a sign if I've ever seen one. much love
Thank you eyedea for yo music for being a man of understanding and with the passion to make music for ppl like me. 🙏 hope they bumbing this in 100 years
"Alcohol is proven to paralyze the mind And what do you see advertised on almost every billboard sign? But wine ain't always the answer, so once upon a time They flooded the streets with heroine To stop the rise of the Black Panthers" What a killer track, this was such a good song, will bump this for days
First of all you are a hero for digging for this tune my man, and second I just gotta say this Eyedea song is the most truthful of all of em! What an eye opener. :D Y'all best take heed, these words change beliefs.
"The wings we were born with were quickly clipped to fit the form...." Without Eyedea id probably be playing x box instead of music! Thank god for Eyedea.
It’s not a judgement on what people do with their time and I def still play a little bit. Eyedeas music woke me up to a lot and I know I’m here not to waste my time here. I think a lot of shit like x box and tv are there to numb us to the way shit actual is on this planet.
@@REALdavidmiscarriage No man I'm not tripping all the time about the world, altho at one point I probably was. Im just saying that eyedea woke me up to a lot of shit and I've sense tried to spend my time getting towards higher frequencies then I once was. If you wanna play x box and that makes you happy thats awesome, I'm really not trying to be judgy. For me personally it felt like something that was subduing for my mind and spirit and eyedeas music shook me out of whatever state I was in at that point of my life. Playing x box and watching tv a lot is something I let go as a result of the new things eyedea showed me! No disrepect to you at all man its all love! I can point you towards many eyedea lines that talk about tv brainwashing and what not, that being said he probably watched tv sometimes and we are all just humans. You can't take this stuff literally, thats kind of like evangelicals that interpret the Bible literally.
@@REALdavidmiscarriage I do think theres art in games for sure too!! I just think a lot of them are made by huge corporations and video games are very immersive and influential and they put a lot of violence and stuff in our heads. Not gonna lie I fuck with some violent RPGS sometime, nothing is black and white man. Also theres mainstream music that def seems brainwashy to me too, these are independent thoughts from a basement on this track. A more trustworthy source in my opinion.
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that this song just dropped for the first time 20 hours ago? I mean, I'm sure there's a lot of people out here (like me) that have heard just about anything these two have released, but why was this just submitted to the Internet for the first time 20 hours ago?
I know MrNinjaTheFish is the one who uploaded this one obviously but also i'm pretty sure Eyedeas mom has been putting up all kind of unreleased songs over the years since he died .. I could be completely wrong though but I think I've heard that somewhere lol.
Beceause he exposes the Illuminati and the nwo agenda that’s been orchestrated on us. And it’s even more clear now then when the two made this song in the 90$. If I recall this was on one of there cassette mixtapes... r.i.p. eyedea Eminem is to bitch to touch on real topics like this.
Probably the best Eyedea song I've ever heard. Damn I pray to God that he will speak through me and my music as he did with Eyedea. The problem is I'm not nearly as smart as him.
don't put yourself down like that.. I'm pretty sure Eyedea was a big reader.. read a lot of books and shit like that.. I personally don't exactly believe in "smart" and "dumb" lol like anyone can learn just about anything if they put their mind to it and stay dedicated.
Wow, wow, and more wow. You are the FUCKING MAN! This is that rare rare dope fire track of two of the dopest rappers to ever hit the Earth. Thank you!!!!!!!!
Both Eyedea and Slugs delivery and flow are hard as fuck in this song, as well as this disgustingly sick beat. I feel like I need to take a shower in the best way. EDIT: R.EYE.P
Such good synergy between the duo - RIP Eyedea 🕊
YOOOO !!? HOW AM I JUST HEARING THIS ONE??? Finding new eyedea/slug music is like Christmas morning
What a gift from above
Just when you think you heard every Eyedea song in existence. Thanks for the upload.
Vextos suuup homie :)
Sup bro
slug has said there are alot of songs of them together, that nobody heard. he says their best songs weren't released
I hope he releases them all one day.
Vextos this is raw
I love this more than Eminems whole catalogue, EYEDEA was a super genius, lord jamar said white rappers are just guests in hip hop, this proves him wrong.
Lord jamars opinion means nothing to most people 😂 I would definitely take Em's whole discography over this one song tho haha
Lord Jamar musta never heard of Eyedea. There’s no way you can deny the message and talent in this track. I don’t care how racist against whites you are lol
He’s literally telling you the lie we all choose to live in so willing unknowing that we are subliminally being controlled by those that are chosen to be at power.
🚀 Lightyears of wisdom 🔆
Word it's like most people just reflexively choose ignorance to so many of the problems in the world because it seems easier... 🫤
This song is scarily ahead of it's time. Almost everything mentioned is going on right now.
Yup very ahead. A guy who does not do heroin dies of heroin overdose.
@@loboismael21 he didn't die from a heroin OD. He died from sleeping pills mixed with alcohol.
Yea definitely I was too young to really understand the lyrics I just liked the music but now I really understand everything he was saying cuz I’ve gone through a lot of the things he described in his music it’s very relatable & relevant
@@Dalrocactually oxy, Ambien, benzos(either clonipin or Ativan) and alcohol.
Exactly
[Verse 1: Eyedea]
The leader of the drug culture's
The leader of the country
The root of all evil's buried deep within the money
Society's a machine; a puppet with invisible strings
While we dream, the eye on the pyramid sings
The wings we're born with were quickly clipped to fit the form
We're kept warm and senseless, your shepherd's relentless
Every genius was considered a madman in his time
From Jesus all the way down the line to Einstein
And people are so naive to believe
They chose their frame of mind
You're conditioned so you don't revolt
While the plan is in its prime
That's why things like alcohol were designed
I'm not paranoid, you're just blind and that's fine
If you never wanna find out who invented the game
And told you can only use 12 percent of your brain
Nowadays if you believe in aliens you're perfectly sane
But a century ago a thought like that would get you chained
[Refrain: Slug]
At his beck and call, let's set you all up against the wall
At its will, will even kill or be still my beating wrecking ball
For his enjoyment, we'll toy with what you perceive
Till you not only get the point but till you believe
[Hook: Eyedea & Slug]
[E] Burn the books, push the heroin, assassinate the speaker
[S] You need some dream sweetener!
[E] But I ain't asleep no more!
[E] Throw the scientist in prison, illegalize free thought
[S] You need some dream sweetener!
[E] But I ain't asleep no more!
[Verse 2: Eyedea]
Why do you think marijuana's illegal?
Because it's green? Different? And not good for people? (No)
Its chemicals access a dormant circuit of consciousness
Which could potentially change the brain's thought process
And why doesn't the government want you to change the way you think?
Because if you thought about what they do then you might start a revolution
So their solution is to try to stop its circulation
Paying millions a year cause they fear its provocation
They did the same with peyote, mushrooms and DMT
And prohibited scientists to experiment with LSD
They put Timothy Leary in prison because he used it
But the CIA secretly tested it on college students
They stripped the product from the natives and the highly educated
Then put it on the black market so the users would be aimless
With the right guidance, we could benefit from all of the above
But if it's not there, it's just a drug
[Refrain: Slug]
At the request of his greatness
We filled in all the negative spaces
With void stamps to stand on
Some hands-on experience
Stampede extravaganza cautionary gone and heeded
By the majority of the uprooted seedlings
[Hook: Eyedea & Slug]
[E] Burn the books, push the heroin, assassinate the speaker
[S] You need some dream sweetener!
[E] But I ain't asleep no more!
[E] Throw the scientist in prison, illegalize free thought
[S] You need some dream sweetener!
[E] But I ain't asleep no more!
[Refrain: Slug]
At the emperors request
We've undressed all the children
Stripped the process of the consciousness building
At the request of the emperor
We've ventured from the center of the thought
So we can package it and market it to be bought
[Verse 3: Eyedea]
Alcohol is proven to paralyze the mind
And what do you see advertised on almost every billboard sign?
But wine ain't always the answer, so once upon a time
They flooded the streets with heroin
To stop the rise of the Black Panthers
They keep us doped up and psychologically clamped
The projects are just a concentration camp
Don't say we can't kill the system
Now it's time to shoot
I'll turn my head inside out if I have to
To find the truth
[Refrain: Eyedea]
Land of the free
And home of the Brave New World Order
Pour some more fluoride in your water
Land of the free
As long as your freedom don't encourage freedom
And stifle the governments freedom to minimalize your freedom
[Refrain: Eyedea]
The leader of the drug culture's
The leader of the country
The root of all evil's buried deep within the money
Back when I was asleep I didn't know that dreams were fake
But you can't kill me, when I'm awake
[Refrain: Slug]
Welcome!
To the new arena! Nice to meet ya!
Rule number 1 is:
If you got something to say, you better shut up!
Seldom
Will you even see the way we treat ya
Have a choke and a smile and pick your nuts up...
Thumbs up for lyrics.
You're doing Gods work Son.
thanks man !!!!! you are legit
Obrigado por postar a letra.
*don't
*deeper
Man there ain't nobody in the universe who's as ill as Eyedea. Everytime i listen to him, i feel like an enlightened individual.
That's an understatement.
If Terrence McKenna was a rapper
He ate shrooms wit me no lie ... almost the best human I nvr met.

:burn the books, push the heroin, assassinate the speaker

Was listening to this song while doing doordash deliveries tonight and as I was listening I got an order for Micheal L. ...
RIP Eyedea.... I miss that guys music. He was so good
That picture is epic. Love it.

Tracks like this are one of the reasons I love hip hop
Let's connect broseph -lmk what you think 🙏🙏🙏
timeles...Eyedea's verse is the truth..Rest in Everlasting Power...thanks for sharing
Jeeeeez this song is fucking insanely good, way ahead of it's time, like someone said. It's like looking into the future, which is now... scary.
I can't believe I haven't heard this until today.
I disagree with alot of what he says here, but the fact he wrote this at 16 is damn impressive.
This is what we all eydea fans needed....can not believe this was never realeased when he was alive. godamn. i love you eyedea....eyedea until i die!
Two of the greatest and most underrated MCs of all time this song is godly
eyedea had huge star power, probably more than slug, terribly sad he got into opioids. huge respect to him for turning down Diddy's record offer, but i think that is probably where it all started to go downhill for hill.
Underrated by who lol

Las nuevas generaciones son mas concientes, estamos despertando, we are awake.
Grande Eyedea QEPD, y Slug un rifado como siempre.
You can‘t kill me when I‘m awake...

Thanks for sharing this. RIP Eyedea
I've got this stealth mix CD. It's next level 💪
Early 2000's Eyedea was dialed in.
Why do you specify early 2000s? Did he take back anything he said in this song?
Goes hard..and still applys in 2019..
Brother, you're a fucking legend for finding and uploading this.
I didn't know Eyedea was woke like that. RIP to an underrated MC
"The projects is just a concentration camp"
Rest in paradise Eyedea

EDIT: R.EYE.P
Damn that was sweet!
Thanks for this man
Goddamn, that is a good song
Damn years later found a new eyedea song my ears gasmed lol
Hey bro thank you for sharing your story that's so dope
Sickest hip hop song with a message
Eyedea says "but you can't kill me when I'm awake" and then a few years later dies in his sleep, coincidence?
I don't know Man, let's just not go down that rabbit hole...
Im force feeding this too everyone I know
no joKe!
speechless would love to hear a no life Shaq reaction
This song is a stone cold slapper
I read people comments to the beat
Beat reminds me of the dynospectrum days!!!
