Don’t you think that it’s boring
how people talk?
Making smart with their words again,
well I’m bored
Today is my birthday,
and I’m riding high
We’re higher than the sun
And nothing’s gonna change the way I’m feeling now
Everything I say falls right back into everything
There’s a humming in the restless summer air
And we’re slipping off the course that we prepared
But in all chaos, there is calculation
Riding around on the bikes,
we’re still sane
Whoever said illegal was the easy way out
couldn’t understand the mechanics
And the workings of the underworld
The Blueprint is the sixth studio album by American rapper Jay-Z, released on September 11, 2001, through Roc-A-Fella Records and Def Jam Recordings.
I still like hotels,
but I think that’ll change
And you can watch
from your window
The theory positing that any unique or peculiar observation or occurrence is merely a coincidence.
You flirt with suicide,
sometimes that’s okay
Words like violence,
break the silence
Come crashing in,
Into my little world
Do what others say
I’m here standing hollow
Pretty soon I’ll be getting on my first plane
Somebody told her that
there was a place like Heaven
‘Cross the water on a 747
Your sky is full of dreams
But you don’t know how to fly
Pretty soon I’ll be getting on my first plane
I’ll see the veins of my city like they do in space
And you can watch
from your window
Baby, be the class clown –
I’ll be the beauty queen in tears
And the cry goes out
They lose their minds for us,
and how it plays out
Now we’re in the ring and
we’re coming for blood
Painful to me,
pierce right through me
Can’t you understand?
Oh, my little girl
Explosions on TV
And all the girls with heads
inside a dream
I fall apart,
with all my heart
And you can watch from your window
I’m playing my jokes upon you
While there’s nothin’ better to do
But my head’s filling fast
with the wicked games,
up in flames
You pick me up and
take me home again
Head out the window again
And you can watch
from your window
Raise a glass, ’cause I’m not done saying it
All my fake friends and all of their noise
Complain about work
They’re studying business,
I study the floor
No one ‘round here‘s good at
keeping their eyes closed
You could try and take us
But we’re the gladiators
Glory and gore go hand in hand
That’s why we’re making headlines
Now we’re in the ring
and we’re coming for blood
I’m not in the swing of things
But what I really mean is
Not in the swing of things yet
All business all day,
Keeps me up a level,
Raise a glass, ’cause
I’m not done saying it
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
‘Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?’
Let me in the ring,
I’ll show you what that big word means
One of the most persistent strands of Western philosophy, Neoplatonism is, as the name suggests, a philosophy which begins from the work of Plato, and interprets him in a special manner. The manner of that interpretation tends to associate God with the principle of unity, making Him completely transcendent, and related to the world by means of a series of intermediaries, who (or which) derive from the One by a principle of emanation. In this view reality is a graded series from the divine to the material, and man, who has in him some part of the divine, longs for union with the eternal source of things. The system thus has spiritual as well as intellectual implications.
I’m little but I’m
coming for the title
held by everyone who’s up
All work and no play
Never made me lose it
You could try and take us,
But victory’s contagious
The people are talking,
people are talking
The people are talking,
people are talking

- Ordo Ab ChaoORDO AB CHAO. Order out of Chaos. This is the famous motto of the Supreme Council, thirty-third degree of the Ancient and Accepted rite—the highest degree of the Freemasons. From the beginning of recorded time, the human race has sought to explore its mysterious origins, and to explain and control the chain of causality. Order out of Chaos means the occasion of rising beyond one's indiscriminate animal patterning and so attaining a higher plane of existence. To learn the way to that plane, to follow the proper paths, to continue the journey and complete (as far as mortally possible) the wondrous voyage to a higher self and the unity of the whole—these are the goals of the venerable brotherhood of Freemasons, one of the most widely known fraternal organizations in the world.
