Let freedom ring with a buckshot, but not just yet
First we need to truly understand the nature of the threat
And a pale man walks in the threshold of darkness
Roughly 20,000 years ago the first humans evolved
with the phenotypical trait, genetic recessive
Blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin
Albinism apparently was a sin to the original man, Africans
So the mutants traveled North of the equator
Called Europeans later, the first race haters
So here's the Devil's alpha to the beta
Cause history's best qualified to teach one
Quoting German philosopher Schopenhauer
"Every white man is a faded or a bleached one"
Migration created further mutation
Genetic drifts, evolution through recombination
Adaptation to the climate
As the Caucus Mountain man reverted to that of a primate
Savage Neanderthals, until the late Paleolithic age
That's when the Black Grimaldi man came
With the symbol of the dragon, fire and art
Check cave paintings in France and Spain to the Venus of Willendorf
Around 2000 B.C. Southern Russians migrate in small units
Those who travel West populated Europe
Those who went East settled in Iran, known as Aryans
1500 B.C. some crossed the Khyber Pass into India and
created Hinduism, the first caste system, the origins of racism
A white dot on the forehead meant elite
The black dot - defeat; untrustable, untouchables
They wrote the holy Vedas in Sanskrit
That's the language that created Greek, German, Latin and English
Now the Minoans around 2000 B.C.
Starts on the island of Crete, in the Agean Sea
The Greek culture begins Western Civilization
But "Western Civilization" means "White Domination"
Myceneans learned from Kemet, called Egypt in Greek
It existed since at least 3000 B.C.
Creatin geometry and astronomy
This knowledge influenced Plato, Socrates and Hippocrates
Cause Imhotep, the real real father of medicine
Was worshiped in Greece and Rome in the form of a Black African
The word Africa comes from the Greek "Aphrike"
meaning "without cold"; the word philosophy means "love of knowledge"
Stole from first man, Greek power expands
The first Greek fraternities band
The word gymnasium is Greek for "naked"
This was the place where adolescent boys were educated, and molested
This was accepted because Greek culture was homosexual
For example, Sappho trained girls on the island of Lesbos
Hence, the word lesbian (Ay let these dumb motherfuckers know)
December 25th, the birth of Saturn
A homosexual god, now check the historical pattern
December 25, now thought the birth of Christ
Was Saturnalia, when men got drunk,
fucked each other then beat their wife
Fact is, it was still practiced, til they called it Christmas
So put a gerbil on your Christmas list
The Hellenistic Era, Alexander the Great
Conquers all the way to India leavin four successor states
By the Fifth century B.C., R.O.M.E.
succeeds to be the conqueror of Egypt and Greece
But had the threat of the Black Phoenicians in Sicily
The Punic Wars began 264 B.C.
The Black general Hannibal and Carthaginian Peace
In 146 B.C. Carthage fell after a six-month siege
Rome sold every citizen to slavery
The first genocide of history
And more bisexuality in sight; Julius Caesar was known as
"every woman's husband and every man's wife" (BEOTCH!)
Spartacus Revolt, a slave rebellion that lost
Where 6,000 slaves was nailed on a cross
Cross? Aw, shit! Jesus Christ! Time for some-act-right
Christians get your facts right
Cause Christ was not his name
That's Greek for "One who is anointed"
Yahshua Ben Yosef was his name, do Christians know this?
So who do you praise, do you know his name?
Or do you do this in vain?
Accepting the religion they gave slaves to behave
Peep the description of historian Josephus
"Short, dark, with an underdeveloped beard was Jesus"
He had the Romans fearing revolution
The solution was to take him to court and falsely accuse him
After being murdered by Pilate how can it be
these same white Romans established Christianity
Constantine would later see the cross in a dream
In his vision, it read "En Hawk Signo Wonka":
"In this sign we conquer" - Manifest Destiny
In 325 he convened the Nicean Creed
And separated god into three
Decided Jesus was born on December 25th
and raised then on the third day is a myth
Plus to deceive us
Commissioned Michelangelo to paint white pictures of Jesus
He used his aunt, uncle, and nephew
Subconsciously that affects you
It makes you put white people closer to God
(Yo, 'The Man' got game like a motherfucker!)
True indeed, fuck it, Jihad
In the eight century Muslims conquered
Spain, Portugal and France and controlled it for 700 years
They never mention this in history class
cause o'fays are threatened when you get the real lesson
Moors from Baghdad, Turkey threatened European Christians
Meaning, the white way of life; hence the Crusades for Christ
On November 25th, 1491
Santiago defeats the last Muslim stronghold, Grenada
King Ferdinand gave thanks to God for victory
And the Pope of Rome and declared this date to forever be
A day of "Thanksgiving" for all European Christians
.. Now listen, when you celebrate "Thanksgiving"
What you are actually celebratin
is the proclamation of the Pope of Rome
Who later, in league with Queen Isabella
sent Cardinal Ximenos to Spain
to murder any blacks that resisted Christianity
These Moors, these black men and women
were from Baghdad, Turkey
And today, you eat the turkey, for your "Thanksgiving" day
as the European Powers destroyed the Turkeys
Who were the forefathers of your mothers and fathers
Now fight the power, you bitch-ass niggaz!
Now around this time, Whites started callings us Negroes
That's Spanish for black object meaning we're not really people
but property, and the triangle trade begins - they seize us
Queen Elizabeth sends the first slaves on a ship named Jesus
Stealin land from the indigenous natives
Gave them alcohol to keep the Red Man intoxicated
Whites claim they had to civilize these pagan animals
But up until 1848 there's documented cases
of whites bein the savage cannibals, eatin Indians
In 1992, it's Jeffery Dahmer
They slaughtered a whole race with guns
Drugs, priests and nuns
1763, the first demonic tactic of biological warfare
As tokens of peace, Sir Jeffery Amherst
passed out clothin and blankets to the Indian community
Infested with small pox, knowin they had no immunity
Today it's AIDS, you best believe it's man made
Cause ain't a damn thing changed.. let me explain
Now since people of color are genetically dominant
and Caucasoids are genetically recessive
and Whites expect to be predominant, meaning survive as a race then
they simply must, take precautions
That's why they're worried about their future now
Cuz by 2050, almost all the Earth's population
will be brown, then black, so understandin that, whites counterreact
(I'm sayin.. man.. them fools
ain't nothin but a teaspoon of milk in the world color majority)
So they created a system
to force blacks into an unnatural position
That re-enforces the position of natural inferiority
In addition, created guns and developed the ethnocentric view
that God justifies every fuckin thing they do
Condition people to perceive whites' culture as civilized
and every other culture considered primitive - not true!
Racism is the system of racial subjugation against nonwhites
in every areas of human relation
Entertainment, education, labor, politics
Law, religion, sex, war and economics
See blacks were 3/5ths of a man with tax purposes intended
You think you're Afro-American?
You're a 14th amendment and a good nigga
Jews don't salute the fuckin swastika
but niggaz pledge allegiance to the flag that accosted ya
They never teach about the break of islands like Jamaica
But before slaves came here whites would take a
pregnant women, hang her from a tree by her toes
Slice her stomach with a knife
and let the unborn baby fall to the flo'
And stop an unborn child in front of all the slaves
to inbreed fear, so they'd be scared and behave
and not rebel more
Understand all whites must be perceived as potential predators
I paraphrase historian Ishakamusa Barashango
"Understand that regardless of the lofty ideas ingraved on paper
in such documents as the Constitution or Declaration
the basic nature.. of the European American white man
remains virtually unchanged".. so check
This is the nature of the threat

Review about Nature of the Threat a lot of you need to research | Reviewer: Keen Nonchalanet Wisdom | 4/21/09
to the anonymous fellow, BAGDAD, or BAGHDAD, was a vilayet of Asiatic TURKEY, situated between Persia and the Syrian desert, and including the greater part of ancient Babylonia. SO IN REGARDS I COULD GO ON ABOUT A LOT OF HIS "FACTS", BUT IM TIRED, BUT A LOT OF WHAT HE STATED IS TRUE, CONSIDERING THE JULIUS CEASER STATEMENT, THAT CANT BE NECESSARILY PROVEN TRUE OR UNTRUE, (sry for caps) but for that matter a rather large potential of what he said can not be proven untrue, regarding albinism hes not stating that africans were racist towards them, but that it was a sin to the africans, so won't you actually listen before you comment people.
I read all your comments and appreciate all angles on the issue. I think whatever the perspective we can agree that although there may be inaccuracies and elements of extreme pro-blackness (Arguably to the the point of reverse-racism) who can you name that has put together such a work of lyricism? I don't agree with all of Ras-Kass's views, but respect his intellect immensely.
The dude who said The N-word gets no respect! Ras Kass is a N.... but other blacks you don't have a problem with long as their not racist??? Think before You speak or type Ur obviously an intellectual midget, get some more sense and consider composing a more thoughtful argument next time bro! U can't call the N-word, then be like... I'm cool with other blacks though... The mathematics don't add up!!!!
Whatever the case we must know the past to enhance the future, after all 2morow is the sum of yestarday's and 2day's events, may knowledge riegn supreme and may ignorant minds of all kinds be woken up!!!!
Blessings to ALL my people.
1LOVE.

There is no Baghdad in Turkey. I thought that would be apparent to most Americans by now considering your nation invaded Baghdad (which is in Iraq). Pheonicians are not black. How can whites be considered the first race haters if at the beginning of the song he states that albinism was a sin to the African man? doesn't that make them the second race haters? No historian can determine whether Gaius Julius Caesar was bisexual. There was certainly political slander during his career, but it can never be empirically proven. What is the point of making this statement in any case? Bisexuality has nothing to do with race. If anything Jesus'name would have been Jeshua (ibn) Yusef. this is because "bin" has only existed in the Arabic lexicon for less than 200 years.
I suppose the essence of the song is correct or poignant. black people have been sugjugated by caucasian by people for a long time. But it is unsound to suggest that all white people must be considered potential predators.

Racism | Reviewer: Adam | 9/1/08
Noun 1. racist - a person with a prejudiced belief that one race is superior to others
Within the definition of the word "racist" or "racism" in general, the race that is being oppressed cannot be racist to the oppressor. Instead it is a response toward oppression. Since the white male is the oppressor, a black male cannot be racist in the same sense, since does not have the upper hand in the social hierarchy.
And I'm white. Grow up, fuckers.
Just what people need, To question his-tory! | Reviewer: Mike | 8/28/08
I don't agree with everything that Rass has stated in his lyrics. But I have learned and researched most of it. He has a lot of facts. Lot's of indigenous people and cultures do not know their true history sometimes. Like for example the Vedas culture. Modern day Indians in India were tought by the British that some Aryan Invasion theory is the creator of there ancient culture. Max Muller British philosopher based this idea on pure theory. And for 100 years it was tought to the masses. But thanks to satellite imagery we have discovered the dried up Saraswati river bed. 72,000 archaeological sites have been discovered. And it's full of artifacts! The ancient Vedic culture was robbed of it's great Mathematics, science and cosmology etc. It was portrayed as great discoveries by Indo-europeans. That's how the British later conquered India. The holy Vedas was everything to them! My point is though, Every culture has some greatness throught history. It's the white domination ideology and way of life that has discredited every culture on the planet. That's the way they control the masses. They made themselves more superior then every human civilization in this world. And that's fact. From the Africans in Egypt not building the pyramids! LoL.. Even the Mayan's and Aztecs have been discredited of their rich history. It's always some ancient Indo-european white man crossing the ocean and teaching these civilizations to be so advanced in their intellect and way of life. When people question these great things that so called europeans discovered and created, Then people will start to research and know that their history is just as great or better than early european history.
Even Henry David Thoreau and Ralph W. Emerson said that the sanskrit writings in the Vedas make our english language puney. Intelligent white people understand this stuff. It's the power driven and ingorant ones who dont. They have to accept their was someone way more advanced then them.
Knowledge will free you!
And ignorance will rule the masses.
Ras Kass isn't saying white people are the threat he's saying that they are the Nature Of The Threat. He never once said white people are the devil.
Rap music is you telling your life so if he has a problem with whites he probably faced racially issues.
Genius | Reviewer: A person of color | 7/18/08
the points that Ras makes here are very so believeable, sure you haters might say "oh he's racist" but he's speaking the truth of the things that happened. im pretty sure Ras has plenty of white friends, but the point is is that he's teaching us pieces of history that won't be taught to us in our schools because of fear of rebellion that would put the mutants in their place. i mean, i don't hate white people but alot of white people say the most ignorant and stupid things, and they do alot of things that make our youth dumber, especially the people in Hollywood and the people from the Bush administration. I hope that we can learn to get along, but i still think rebellion would be good if all else fails, sheltered life is too boring i would start a riot if i had the necessary tool, and the white pigs [cops] didn't suppress my actions only because i am an angry person of color. fuck the powerful and influential stupid people. kudos to Ras Kass, a true brother and a pivotal figure for equality. it may not seem like equality, more like colored dominance, but if you look at the the facts and all the things white people in the past did to us for money, then you see that it will be retribution. Gold was turned into money for the white man so the white man used that for power and stole the gold from all the libraries and places from the blacks.
Among many other lies and mis truths in these lyrics, most prominently featured is the assertion that whites came from albinos. Ridiculous.
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects all "races".
There is a parade of falsehoods that follow.
Yes "white" European history contains much ugliness, as does the history of the world.
This song points out plenty of negative history, but does so in an intellectually dishonest fashion.
Mixed Facts | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/30/08
Kass is a sick rapper and soul on ice is one of my fav albums after illmatic, 36 chambers, cuban linx, rd, paid in full, and some others. I've got to say his facts are really mixed up. much of it is accurate but he doesnt even tell history form the perspective of the Egyptians which is what he should do to sway people's minds. being a white kid form the bronx, you pay attention to the racism directed towards your people in music like this. so you check for accuracy etc. but anyway, the main points here are not false but are not the direct truth. still, for his own personal opinion and expression, it's a sick song
