Djehuti, the ancient god of wisdom and writing, proclaims his eternal power as the origin of knowledge, magic, and truth. He speaks beyond time, warning that true understanding comes at a cost. [Intro] I am the one who wrote before you ever spoke. I am the one who counted while your tribes still crawled. I am Djehuti Listen. [Verse 1] I am the measure beyond all measures, the genesis of number. What you call magic, I call the mundane wonder. From quill I cast destiny, from sound I weigh the soul. I forged the order, and I am never not whole. With the head of an ibis, I see through all disguise, Your truths are fossils I cracked open with time. I predate your myths; I was the pulse of thought, What you claim as insight, I long ago caught. I wrote the arc of moons before you knew their name, I imposed rhythm where you only chained flame. I am no shadow, I’m the root from which you count, Without my script, your mind cannot amount. [Chorus] Djehuti nek per-aa, kheperu em maat, Sesh neteru, sesh netjer, Ankh em ren, ankh em djedu, Nesu heka, Djehuti mesu. [Verse 2] I stood while gods contended, I judged with calm decree, Not by sword, but by the laws that be. My word carries mass, my gaze holds the scale, Ma’at is my compass, no luck, no fail. You claim to write history? I am the scroll. What you decode, I embedded whole. I set truths in traps, hidden in the fold of time, But you chase the power, not the path through the rhyme. One glance at the "Book of Thoth", and your limits ignite, For to read me is to face your own inner fight. I’m no prophet, I’m the origin, the path, And your thoughts turn to dust before my craft. [Chorus] Djehuti nek per-aa, kheperu em maat, Sesh neteru, sesh netjer, Ankh em ren, ankh em djedu, Nesu heka, Djehuti mesu. [Verse 3] I have counseled gods, steered pharaohs with breath, My silence was law, my presence, death. I painted in glyphs what no eye can perceive, And in every sigil lies the fire you believe. I require no temple, I am structure, refined, The feather etched in stone, the blueprint of mind. I am the stillness that precedes insight, The formula that fades as you near its light. I wear no crown, I am the code, And those who invoke me, unleash what corrodes. For my knowledge is a blade, silent and clear, And those who steal it are hollowed by fear. [Chorus] Djehuti nek per-aa, kheperu em maat, Sesh neteru, sesh netjer, Ankh em ren, ankh em djedu, Nesu heka, Djehuti mesu.
