The Black Eyed Peas – Third Eye

"third eye" as written by Priese Prince Lamont Board, William Adams and Tim Orindgreff....
Mmmmmmmm...
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
Mmmmmmmm...

He was fooling me once before
But I tell you there's no fooling me twice no more
'Cause when I open up my third eye, third eye
Gotta get away wit' murder, wit' murder
He was fooling me once before
But I tell you there's no fooling me twice no more
So stop your oppression, oppression
Check it out I got a question, a question

Bush is Pinnochio, Pinnochio
Who the Hell is Gepetto, Gepetto?
Beware of Gepetto

'Cause he got knives and clips and a dagger that's shit with two crucifix
And he's got ya back won't flinch if ya two brother has an at Christmas
Welcome to the valley of the beast where they sing in harmony where I speak no peace
Keepin' an eye on a fella your cheddar, things that ain't really for the better
I could point out odd behaviour to keep your meal from the poisonous flavour
Then would you call, I can't say let me make your mind so you're in the door danger
He can sell sand to Iran
Ice to an Eskimo
Water to a dam
He can put a killer up for sale
The one who taught him how to stab

He was fooling me once before
But I tell you he ain't fooling me twice no more
'Cause when I open up my third eye, third eye
Gotta get away wit' murder, wit' murder
Know what I'm saying?

Can't fool me again
I'm here to games to late
I know your kind
Don't fall down again
Won't trip on games you like
I know your kind

You can fool me once (no no)
But you can't fool me two times (no no)
'Cause I got three eyes (yeah yeah)
One up from the left side (yeah yeah)
The other from the right side (yeah yeah)
One eye on the inside (yeah yeah)
And I can see you outside (no no)
Trying to come in

La la la la la la la la la la la (you can't fool me)
La la la la la la la la la la la (you can't do me)
La la la la la la la la la la la (you can't run through me)
Mmmmmmmmm...
La la la la la
La la la la la
Sometimes we need to change, to change, to change
Leave the past behind
Leave the past behind or shall we...look into the future?
Look ahead
That's right

    General CommentRight, I like this song a lot...

    Gepetto was the man who made Pinnochio in the story, so if they're comparing Bush to Pinnochio, then that means they think someone is controlling him?

    "a dagger that's shaped into a crucifix" I suppose this is about Bush's religious beliefs, and that he's killing for a good cause, in his eyes, y'know with the whole "You cant get away wit' murder" thing.

    "Sometimes we need to change" I think that's about America needing a new president or something.

    General CommentBest BEP song ever. I memorized this song and amaze people when I rap it at the same speed they did.

    General CommentOne of the best pieces of anti-establishment art that I have encountered. I had the original CD. This song wasn't a separate track. After the song "Where is the Love?", there is silence on the track like the song is over. After most people would have turned off the track, "Third Eye" comes on. It is part of the same track, but kind of hidden in this way. If you want to know what the song means (and you REALLY want to know!) Please see a BBC documentary called "The Century of the Self." Everything in you will resist. You need to examine why you feel that way. Please, for your sake, and the sake of those you love, head to youtube and check it out. It is free. It is long, but I guarantee you that you will be riveted once you start getting the picture. The powers that be are convinced that the masses are too stupid and unruly to rule themselves. The history of the last century all makes sense when you see the documentary.
    I am just someone who loves and cares for her fellow man and i believe that we are way smarter than they think.
