The title of the track references the song “Atlantis' Agony At June 5th-8498, 13 P.M. Gregorian Earthtime” by German prog rock band Eloy. This is also where the sample in the beginning comes from.
[Intro]
And so the gods decided
Great is the fear for you
When your eye takes the field against those
Who tried to raise against you
Make your eye go down
And strike the mutineers with disaster
The eye shouldn't rest in your forehead
Now it has to go down as 'Hat-Hor'
[Verse 1: Curren$y]
Uh
Don't get your fitted split in this New Era
Sweet situations turn sour, milk for the cheddar
Knowing it could never be better, just hope it span next them
Settle for my leftover scraps, discarded women
Ferrari engines under glass
Freshmans with seniority, this is the upper class
Run through traffic lights, every day looking like it's being shot by Hype Williams
Bitch, I am on the way
Checking the mail, check it on the scale, what it say?
Pay what it Wraith, no time to waste
I'm on the grind, you see my face? I'm here to stay
Only thing temporary was the Benz wagon license plates
I'm in and out of love with this rap hustling
Shit got drugs in it, suitcase full of bloody money
When we spend it with the jeweller, he don't worry 'bout nothin'
[Hook]
Its light shines
Shine on
[Verse 2: Domo Genesis]
Bitch
Fuck is life? Rap, money and fast bitches
Mad cos my ankles got achy from all this ass kicking
I'm blasted off this backwood
I'm only getting it if the cash good
You don't terrify me, been in mad hoods
Your shot for the top kinda slim if you plot against me
I'll body everything just for solace, my kinda instinct is snowing
If it was war, we was there, front line
Flossing flawless, blowing Porsches in the air, the most gorgeous of affairs
Wait to see who I'm arriving with tonight
Survival of the fittest, I don't think you surviving through the night
Pound for pound, title, screams for my arrival to the fight
Can't trust a soul, rolling with a Bible and a knife, uh
Hail Mary, leave rappers in mortuaries
What's a half-assed track to a savage? Of course it's scary
A monster and a half, I'm a master, my corpses buried
I'm an urban legend, something like Gary or Bloody Mary
[Hook]
Its light shines
Shine on
