Very interesting lyrics and some of them make sense Masonically.
It also seems he may be tapping into a little of the Dan Brown coat tail market also.
For the folks who aren't masons -- Does it seem like a lot more attention is being paid to Masonry in the last few years, especially in pop culture?
Ever since joining a few years ago I've tuned out a lot of the noise from outside and except for ATS never really hear people talking about Freemasonry. It makes me wonder if it would make the song more or less popular.

now going back to our discussion in the lego thread... could a non mason use similar references in this track
i'd actually like to be a mason, but I believe you need to be invited?!?! The thing I like is the idea of the whole like-mindedness and I presume most of them want to learn. Rufus The Stunt Bum would never be seen again because I'd rather learn from the masters than have to wade through the trudge for nuggets of truth in ATS to be perfectly honest.
Yeah its ashame people want to hear about degrading women and sex and drugs but nothing that you can actually learn from.

This is for the soldiers that see the sun at midnight ... ya dig? ... Lemme slow down (it's so incredible!)
[Hook]
I'd go to the grave before I'd be a bitch nigga
Better behave, you dealin' with some rich niggas
We the lost symbols speaking cryptic codes
Ancient wisdom valuable like gifts of gold
I embark on life, my path is all math
I understand the codes these hackers can't crack
I understand that folks expect me to fold
Community control to violate parole (no!)
I won't fail, but a lot of men will
I'm iconic in the field like Solomon's Seal (whoooo!)
Uh
It's just the intro
Allow my flow time to sync into the tempo
Freemason (what?), free lancer (yeah!)
Free agents, we faster (hah!)
Big contracts, big contractors
Built pyramids, period. We masters!
No Catepillars, it was just a lot of niggas, (uh!)
A lot of great thinkers and a lot of great inventors
All-white mansion, I'm a child of God
All-black diamonds, times were hard (whoooo!)
New Rolls-Royce, yes, you made it, nigga! (hah!)
All-white neighborhoods, you they favorite nigga (nigga!)
My top [is] back like JFK. They wanna push my top back like JFK (ey!)
So, so I j.f.k. -- join forces with the kings -- and we ate all day. (uh!)
Right now I could rewrite history (whoo!)
I've stopped writing so f**k it, I'll do it mentally (whoooo!)
[repeat hook]
Started in the ghetto, now we worldwide
Multiplying and I pray to God [that] we never die
[repeat]
Niggas couldn't do nothing with me - they put the Devil on me
I [would] prefer [for] niggas to squeeze the metal on me
Rumors of Lucifer, I don't know who to trust
Whole world want my demise, turn the music up
Hear me clearly:
If y'all niggas fear me,
Just say y'all fear me
F**k all these fairy tales
Go to hell
This is God engineering
This is a Hail Mary pass y'all interfering
He without sin shall cast the first stone, so y'all look in the mirror double-check y'all appearance
Bitch, I said I was amazing - not that I'm a Mason
It's amazing that I made it throught the maze that I was in
Lord forgive me, I never would have made it without sin
Holy water, my face in the basin
Diamonds in my rosary shows [that] he forgave him
Bitch, I'm red-hot
I'm on my third 6, but a Devil I'm not
My Jesus-piece flooded, but thou shalt not covet
Keep your eyes off my cupboard
I'm a bad m**********r
It's Hov
Just say you love it
[Reprisal]
If I ever die, never let it be said that I didn't win
Never, never, say, never say Legend didn't go-head, I'mma go-head
I just wanna die on top of the world making love to my favorite girl
I'm making beautiful music, we making a movie
We knew we was born to do it
[Reprisal]
