The next line is that the government is out to kill him.
Don’t expect it to be totally rational and consistent…

Actually elsewhere in the song it refers to street crime and property crime and gang crime in USA, and saying that gang crime, drug crime, property crime (vandalism and theft) … is justfied, eg a terrorist is justifiied… he has a cause just a terrorist, that he is going to jail again is his badge of honour, like a terrorist claiming to die for the al aksa martyrs brigade.
The whole song is a claim he cannot return to being a law abiding citizen, with justifications. he’s even saying that he seeks to destroy the USA government…
BTW … " figured out what was buried under Soloman’s Temple …"
Um the bedrock ? Solomons temple was BEFORE the mosque … then modern jerusalem reworkings.
In short, the myth speaks of both reward for wisdom, Solomon’s peculiar trait, and of punishment for hubris. The story of the foundation stone is tied to this. When David, Solomon’s father, was digging the foundations of the Temple down to the foundations of the world, he struck a stone of darkest emerald which told him that it must not be lifted, because it “holds back the waters of the Abyss”. But David insists to try and lift it, and behind it he finds the chaotic waters God worked with at the beginning of the world; which uncovered, will rush up to unite with the upper waters, negating the firmament/foundation that holds created things apart, and restore all things to the “unformed and void” (Genesis 1:2) that preceded the creation of the world. Thinking on his feet, the king carves God’s name onto a pottery shard and casts it into the Abyss, causing the waters to obey and subside., this is what he means about Al aqsa naming being coincidental, as others have said it means the farthest temple, from creation, because it sits on the stone that covers the waters of chaotic creation, this whole myth which is a mix of Christianity and Zoroastrianism also gets brought up later in the song the bars were intentional > one day the earth will cry from a stone
And you’ll be lookin’ at the world livin’ inside of a dome(of the rock)
While this is quite the zombie thread I’d still like to know what he’s going on about. Clearly some kind of bonkers Knight Templar related conspiracy theory. But not one I’ve heard (they’ve all be been pretty euro-centric and colonial in my experience and not involved the Muslim rulers of Jerusalem), and more interesting than anything Dan Brown’s come up with.
Dammit obscure Peruvian rapper from the 2000s you can’t just drop an allusion like that then leave us hanging. The very least we expect is an incoherent geocities webpage expounding on your theory using no less than six fonts and text colors ![]()
In Al-Aqsa Mosque there is a building called the Dome of the Rock
with… wait for it… a legendary rock inside
and a cavern underneath.
No idea if there is really any water below, but if we are talking mythical waters, why not.
Though he’s clearly alluding to some fantastical thing that was, according to his bonkers theory, located under the temple during days of yore not the humdrum reality of what is actually under there now. Whatever it was, there is allegedly a clue in the name al Asqa. Which means furthest (though no guarantee he’s talking about the actual Arabic meaning not some bonkers derivation of the transliteration into English)
Here’s a much longer interpretation of the song, either written by the bumper or quoted by them.
