about

The Stephen Hawking and 'Star Trek' samples were added by Warrior Monks in the studio. The original song by Thievery Corporation is "The Foundation." Warrior Monks' title, "Of Creation," is a play on the original title, as the sample in the song is "The Foundation Of Creation." Sulaymon wanted the title to keep the concept of existence, but remove the concept of Beginning and End--engaging The Infinite.

lyrics

(Mr. Han, Enter the Dragon): “We are all ready to win, just as we are born knowing only life.

Stephen Hawking: "Where did we come from? How did the universe come into being?"

Worf (of Star Trek): "Die in ignorance. I can waste no more time on you."

Sulaymon:
My foundation’s never shook/Man, you straight out of a comic book/if you look through my bloodshot eyes/you’d be surprised/by what you’d find/sometimes/it’s too fuckin’ much/bullets burst my brain like pillow fluff/then I try to pick up the pieces/putting back all of the folds and the creases/rap is my God damned Savior/Bruce Lee with some Jim Kelly flavor/new thoughts that I brought to the table/new ways of thinking/arrive like angels/arise like dangers/the virtue of patience innate in its nature/to understand what I meant by that clause/look at the way that thoughts/evolve/first/they set precedence/are violently oppressed/then are deemed self-evident/to tell you the truth/I never thought I’d look to you/and spew the words/’a black president’/proud to be a U.S. resident now that The Dream has/tangible evidence/and I don’t stunt/I get educated like my father/rhymes permeated with thoughts of ancient scholars

**I wonder why**

“Telling the world of the Truth and Rights that exist in this earth.”

**I wonder why**

BrotherOfMoses:
I wonder why/we were conceived at that time/an introspection of my mind/no answer I can seem to find

Sulaymon:
Look at the planets/roll a blunt/contemplate where/you came from/no more bullshit/no more fronts/admit that you don’t know for once (x2)

(Mr. Han): It is difficult to associate these horrors with the proud civilizations that created them: Sparta, Rome, the Knights of Europe, the Samurai. They worship strength, because it is strength that makes all other values possible.


BrotherOfMoses (B.O.M.):
And I ask them/what do they know/of the Intellect/what could they show?/points I bring/like a ring of touchdowns/you know I’m a king/and I daily touch crowns/I sing on lush strings/when I touch sounds/bust rounds when I crush clowns/flushes and frowns on the faces/good gracious/roam Heaven and Hell and/all the other places/I know I shouldn’t of made it/so hard/I’m growin’ up/no -tard/and no re-/comin’ strapped with the facts/bitch I know these/hoe please/I’ma go East/I’m a monster/huntin’ your sleep/evil people/I shepherd/I’m stompin’ your sheep/smoke sess from the West and I go East/I crave sound waves like a sonic-flow feast

Of creation (x8)

“He is The Foundation Of Creation” (x2)
