“Ill-M-I” is Tobymac’s cover of Soul Junk’s track from his album “1952,” reimagined with more percussive instrumentation and some lyrical restructuring. The track itself is intended for those who practice righteousness for the sake of recognition.
[Intro]
Yo, yo, Ill-M-I
Yo, yo, Ill-M-I
[Chorus]
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through
[Verse 1]
Flow like the Cassius, swing like the Clay
One day, I'ma make the whole world pay
With K.O.'s and okay, we bash clots 'n' dot-dash
You got that right, I'ma rock the Morse code tonight
Transmit 'n' throwin' fits 'n' paparazzi like zits
Get flipped out and squeezed fresh like juicy Sunkist
And if I miss with my missiles, you're still gonna sizzle
'Cause I frizzle-fry radiation style worldwide
[Chorus]
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through (Illuminati comin' through)
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through
[Verse 2]
You got your pipeline clogged, man, get that puppy routed (And you)
Got the style down, and since you don't know about it
Who's the loser? (I am) Because we come in numb love
And choicer, and did I mention looser? (No, you didn't)
Then I do, sir, producer, hit me with the juice
Much obliged, got the head of a moose (And you)
So mount me on the wall of your livin' room
Sure to bring the boom, speakin' like a zoom deep into your tomb
[Chorus]
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through (Illuminati comin' through)
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you (Ill-M-I and you)
Illuminati comin' through
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you (Ill-M-I and you)
Illuminati comin' through (Illuminati comin' through)
[Bridge]
And if you feel the vibe glide true it's on you
And if you need to drive right through it's on you
And if you're screamin' "moi non plus" it's like
What you tryin' to do when you can't fade the true one?
And if you feel the vibe glide true it's on you
And if you need to drive right through it's on you
And if you're screamin' "moi non plus" it's like
What you tryin' to do when you can't fade the true one? (Can't fade the true one, can't fade the true one)
Eruption type volcanics, I got the vocal Sportmatic [*pop*]
[Verse 3: TobyMac & Chorus]
Suction cup hands upside the slammin' Daily Planet
I do windows on school days, spill Jim Jones, type Kool-Aid
All these primrose, style bouquets, I clip those for doomsday
Got succulent flavor, the uprisen Savior
Manifestin' through these mics, blastin' out your graveyard
Savor every bite that TobyMac gave ya
Turn and tell your neighbor this ball o' dirt is goin' into labor
[Chorus]
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you
Illuminati comin' through (Illuminati comin' through)
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you (Ill-M-I and you)
Illuminati comin' through
Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I, Ill-M-I and you (Ill-M-I and you)
Illuminati comin' through (Illuminati comin’ through)
[Outro]
Ill-M-I and you
(What you tryin' to do when you can’t fade the true one?)
Illuminati comin' through
Ill-M-I and you
(Can’t fade the true, ca-can’t fade the true) (Illuminati comin’ through)
Ill-M-I and you
(What you tryin' to do when you can’t fade the true one?)
Ill-M-I and you
(Can’t fade the true, ca-can’t fade the true)
Ill-M-I and you

“Ill-M-I” was originally done by an artist called Soul-Junk. I talked to Glenn Galaxy (the songwriter) a lot before I put that song on the record because I wanted to know exactly what he was writing about. It’s the only song I’ve really ever covered … I just loved the feel...
