[Verse 1: ILL Bill]
Non Phixion's still the real hip-hop, the CIA still wanna kill me
They want to drag me in a courtroom and find me guilty
Because I Reign in Blood, I’m the Master of Puppets
That’s pulling your strings and my brain is bugged
You chumps have ruled enough, I put you to death like Chuck Schuldiner
Among the Living like Anthrax, my thugs deliver dog
Now who’s crying? Peace sells, but who’s buying??
Crucified like a messiah in a fire dying
This song is K-Rock I stay hot like Gene Simmons
In ‘76 with the God of Retarded, I’m on it
Started to write your Obituary, Slowly We Rot
Smoking pot, woke up this morning and spoke to God
He told me the world’s over, worldwide Nuclear Assault
Circle of tyrants bring the Celtic Frost
Gangster rappers and all types of guns
Religious fanatics and rifle nuts with platinum albums
The path I travel's like the dragon shadow, invisible to CIA camera angles
They got a file on every rap group, they killed the last man who had proof
They after me for information that I have too

[Hook: ILL Bill]
I’m paranoid, tell me what the fuck they asked you
You fuck around with me and I might have to blast you
The CIA trying to kill me, we bad news
Get the fuck up out my way when I pass through
I’m paranoid tell me what the fuck they asked you
You fuck around with me and I might have to blast you
The CIA trying to kill me, we bad news
Fuck around with Non Phixion, that’s a bad move

[Verse 2: Sabac]
Symbolism, socialism, live life to the fullest
If they try to take mine then I’mma wave the nine and pull it
My patience is running thin, spy agents coming in
Trying to lock me down for now I have to hide the gun again
It’s punishment, the courts and prisons, the cross and Christians
I know the difference between reality and false religion
My thoughts envision freedom and peace
But the hood still breed beef and people bleed in the street
We got AIDS and cancer, teenagers crash into buildings with planes in Tampa
I can’t explain the answer, I can only stand for what I believe
Family, friends, health, wealth, good food, pussy and trees
I be the one to make a fist and raise it, sober or wasted
The basics, overstand the bullshit that you’re faced with
The water’s laced with chemicals, you can taste it
Leaves you brainsick, angry and full of hatred
Like nobody likes you now you become spiteful
Self-hate is frightful, look at the face of Michael
I fight you for justice, freedom, and equality
These creeps keep following me

[Hook: ILL Bill]

[Verse 3: Goretex]
I’m a survivalist, they said I should’ve been dead over a year ago
With a barcode on my head God knows my intent
Thug hummers with thugs drunk with guns
Drunk on drugs, mosh pits, popping collars keep it crunk in the club
Busting for fun, Canarsie to Spain, trunk with carcass parked in the rain
I see you faggots barking the name
Fake fame you get your wig sprayed, your image is played
Stop keeping it gully, cut the Sam Kinison braid
Keep your song sweet, my life verses like tight virgins
Out in L.A. I’m up in hot tubs with night nurses
Exed out, sniff the white pony, ceremony open shit
See me through the smoke, nervous system full of opiates
The MDA, shoot roids like NBA
Blew the advance on firearms, I got ten to play
Catch a facelift, your grave makeshift, face decay
Surveillance raped with broomsticks, they got tapes today
State of the world address, NY some killers for sport
Home of the shit talk, crack houses, prisons, and chalk
Blows against the system, Pentagon smashed
Windows inside a victim symptoms of the universe observed

[Hook: ILL Bill]

Non Phixion

In late 1994, MC Serch (of 3rd Bass fame) took protégé Sabac Red and teamed up with DJ Eclipse and Ill Bill (La Coka Nostra / Heavy Metal Kings), thereby creating the group known as Non Phixion. Within six months Goretex, a childhood friend of Ill Bill, from Glenwood Houses, had joined the crew after freestyling for MC Serch. Six months later they had released their first single, “Legacy”. It went on to sell over 25,000 copies worldwide, with little distribution establishing the group as an international touring force.

MC Serch secured the group a deal by letting them choose what label they desired, which was with major label Geffen Records, due to their growing roster of like-minded artists such as Killah Priest, The Roots, and GZA. Russell Simmons, was also interested in the group after MC Serch brought them to his penthouse for a live meeting and performance, which due to scheduling never came to fruition. Serch kept releasing singles for the group through his own independent imprint Serchlite, and they continued to garner underground worldwide notoriety. Eventually, a series of miscommunications and incidents between the group, and Serch over the mysterious whereabouts of money led to Non Phixion being dropped by the label during a merger with MCA Records, by way of giant Seagrams.[4]

Following their attempt at a major label release, the members of Non Phixion spent their time performing live and around the world at such places as Roskilde Festival, and Hultsfred Festival opening for contemporaries such as Gang Starr, Slayer, Black Moon, Rage Against The Machine, Fat Joe, Beastie Boys, Portishead, Queens Of The Stone Age, Cypress Hill, GZA, The Beatnuts, Mos Def, The Roots and numerous others. After 1998 saw the release of their “I Shot Reagan” 12" on Uncle Howie Records, Non Phixion secured a deal for a full-length with Matador Records, however, this never came to fruition. Eminem manager Paul Rosenberg showed interest in managing Non Phixion, but due to timing never came to fruition. Around 2000, Rick Rubin was attempting to bring Non Phixion to Warner Bros. and executive produce their record, but this too never materialized and ultimately their debut LP The Future Is Now was released on Ill Bill’s own Uncle Howie Records on March 26, 2002.The Future Is Now features the production of Hip Hop giants such as Pete Rock, Large Professor, DJ Premier, The Beatnuts, as well as Ill Bills brother Necro and Dave 1 from funk band Chromeo. A Heavy Metal remix for “The CIA Is Trying To Kill Me” was also included, produced by T-Ray. It features Christian Olde Wolbers, and Raymond Herrera from Fear Factory, and guitarist Stephen Carpenter from Deftones. The Future Is Now also contains a rare at the time, guest appearance from MF Doom. The cover artwork was created by Los Angeles artist Mear One, from California graffiti crew C.B.S.
