“Y’all know what a cypher is? [“Yeah!”] It’s all kinds of ciphers. But a
cypher can be represented by a circle, which consists of how many degrees?
[“360!”] What? 360 degrees. And my cipher keeps moving like a rolling
stone. So in my song when I say that, my cipher represents myself or the
atoms in my body and the rolling stone represents the Earth. The atoms in
the body rotate at the same rate on the same axis that the Earth rotates,
giving us a direct connection with the place we call Earth; therefore, we can
call ourselves Earth. Okay? On my hand I wear an ankh. This is an ankh.
An ankh is an ancient Kemetic symbol. The word Kemet is the original name
for Egypt.
