Cover art for Harder Than You Think lyrics by Public Enemy

wow. illuminati man. think about it. it applies.

shits harder then you THINK. all we know is what is around us. reality. but reality isnt always real. so many songs "thing arent what they seem". the groups name is PUBLIC ENEMY. PUBLIC = SOCIETY = MEDIA = ILLUMINATI. ENEMY = Target. Essentially Illuminati Target.

" WHAT, GOES, ON! Rolling Stones of the rap game, not braggin' Lips bigger than Jagger, not saggin' Spell it backwards, I'ma leave it at that.. Check the facts, expose those cats who pose as heroes and take advantage of blacks Your government's gangster, so cut the crap A war goin on so where y'all at?"

Break it down. Rolling Stone = someone who cannot settle down. If they are rolling stones, they wont stay in one place. Illuminati = one place. One secure, rich place, for life as long as you do what they say.

So they are rolling stones of the rap game. Rap game = music industry. So they would not be illuminati, hence why they are exposing it. Exposing = "Lips bigger then Jagger". You call someone lips because they talk too much.

And then he tells you "spell it backwords." AKA.. THINK about it. dont just listen to it. "I'ma leave it at that.." subliminal disses towards the illuminati aren't bad. Because they know 98% of the poeple that hear it won't pick up on it. Look at Michael Jackson interviews, anytime he meantions something directed towards illuminati he shuts up real quick after.

"Check the facts, expose those cats who pose as heroes and take advantage of blacks"

Expose the industry/illuminati artists who "pose as heros" (offering a life of selfish peace) and take advantage of blacks. Most blacks at the time = poor. Illuminati goes after project poor people while rap is on the rise. These people want money, they want to be rich. They dont care about their soul. So they are taken advantage of.

Read between the lines for the rest of the song. No one really talks about Public Enemy anymore. I doubt Chuck D will get respect he deserves. Why? I don;t know. He exposes. Everyone knows Chuck is good, but the media shines people lke Jay-Z. Who are illuminati.

Read. Between.

Holy shit you're retarded. I'll admit I didn't waste my time reading all your horse shit. You know what kind of people try to sum an entire idea up into one word, like 'Illuminati'? Weak minded people. That word actually has a negative effect of turning people off to anything you could say and making them think you're just a crazy conspiracy theorist or something. It's only use is to save a couple words when you could easily just say 'bankers rule the world' which is something a lot of people would instantly agree with. "Your government's gangster so cut...

Hahaha I agree with C_D_Calvert you are retarded. Such a simple message in a song, went completely over your dumb head! WINNING! Instead of living you life in a conspiracy theory manner, why don't you get out of your moms basement, live a real life, get some life experience, learn about it and from it, and finally understand how the real world works Jerry Fletcher (Mel Gibson)
