The Thieves Banquet - Akala[00:00:00]

Once upon a time[00:00:02]

In an obscure part of the Milky Way Galaxy [00:00:03]

There was a spinning ball of[00:00:06]

Water and rock ruled by the forces of evil [00:00:08]

The Devil himself [00:00:13]

Proud of the magnificent achievements of his children [00:00:15]

Decided to call a special banquet[00:00:18]

For the greatest thieves in all the land [00:00:20]

He sent invites to thousands of the greatest murders [00:00:23]

Rapists and general-assorted scum [00:00:27]

Inviting them to attend his palace[00:00:30]

At the dawn of the new moon [00:00:32]

Each thief would be given a chance to stake his claim[00:00:34]

As the greatest messenger of murder upon the planet [00:00:38]

And the Devil himself would then[00:00:42]

Decide who should be crowned king [00:00:44]

After many days of deliberating [00:00:48]

All of the petty thieves [00:00:51]

Such as street criminals [00:00:52]

Have been found far short[00:00:53]

Of the required level of wickedness[00:00:55]

And there were just four sets of thieves[00:00:57]

Left in the competition [00:01:00]

They were: the monarchs of empire [00:01:02]

A cartel of bankers [00:01:06]

The heads of religious orders [00:01:08]

And the third-world dictators [00:01:10]

Each set of thieves appointed a spokesman[00:01:12]

To give his case to the Devil [00:01:15]

We have recorded these events for posterity [00:01:17]

Uh listen[00:01:24]

Uh okay yo[00:01:30]

First up was the thief of the worst reputation[00:01:36]

Dictator of a third-world nation[00:01:38]

He looked the Devil in the eye as he spoke[00:01:39]

In an oh so serious tone[00:01:41]

Dear Mr Devil[00:01:43]

I am the greatest thief there has ever been on Earth[00:01:44]

Please tell me who else[00:01:46]

More than me personifies your work[00:01:47]

I came to power in a military coup [00:01:49]

I murdered the elected president[00:01:51]

He wanted to use the resources[00:01:53]

Of our country for our peoples' benefit[00:01:54]

I proved to masters in the west[00:01:56]

I could kill my own people just as well as the best[00:01:58]

So I took over the so-called independent country[00:02:00]

When the foreigners left[00:02:02]

Sent squads of death to those who would suggest[00:02:03]

In power should be the one they elect[00:02:05]

Erected a statue of the great man[00:02:06]

That raped our mothers stole our lands[00:02:08]

That's how little self-respect I have[00:02:10]

Don't fight slavery [00:02:12]

It makes me glad[00:02:12]

Account in Switzerland Rolls Royce[00:02:13]

Murder and rape 'cos I want new toys[00:02:15]

Don't want a portion but a whole fortune[00:02:17]

With that profit what's a little bit of torture[00:02:19]

Even outlawed my indigenous culture[00:02:20]

And language and history[00:02:22]

And taught our people to only worship colonizers[00:02:23]

And of course me [00:02:26]

Thief [00:02:31]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:02:33]

Come and dine with me [00:02:37]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:02:40]

The banquet of the thieve[00:02:43]

The Devil was so impressed with this wonderful man[00:02:45]

He almost ejaculated on his hands[00:02:46]

But the monarch of the empire said [00:02:48]

Excuse me Mr Devil I'd like to speak if I may[00:02:49]

Who do you think trained this amateur[00:02:51]

Dictator to behave this way [00:02:53]

Yeah I'm sure before I came along[00:02:54]

His country was far from heaven[00:02:56]

But look of the carnage I caused all over the Earth [00:02:58]

It's got to be the work of the Devil[00:03:00]

Countless deaths mass enslavement[00:03:01]

Deliberate starvation of whole nations[00:03:03]

The dictator tries his best but looking at me [00:03:05]

He's just an imitation[00:03:07]

Who do you think pays his wages [00:03:08]

He would love to be trading places[00:03:10]

I've been doing this ting on the roads[00:03:11]

Way back way back way back[00:03:13]

Since the Middle Ages[00:03:14]

Everybody knows he's a criminal element[00:03:15]

They think I'm democratic and benevolent[00:03:17]

And that shows that I'm really devilish[00:03:19]

'Cos people think I'm heaven-sent[00:03:20]

I couldn't care about democracy[00:03:22]

You all know no one elected me[00:03:24]

The people love me despite my crimes[00:03:25]

Sucka MCs wanna bite my shine[00:03:27]

So blingin' out of control you would vomit[00:03:29]

Don't even touch dough but my face is on it [00:03:30]

Thief[00:03:32]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:03:34]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:03:38]

I'm a pervert who's in the cloak of the clergy[00:03:44]

Yes I'm a pervert who's in the cloak[00:03:47]

I'm a despicable character[00:03:50]

I use my position of authority and spiritual reverence[00:03:52]

I'm a despicable character[00:03:57]

Mr Devil allow me to speak[00:04:00]

For all of the religious leaders that leech[00:04:02]

In the world of creeps I'm initiated[00:04:03]

I take the peoples' faith and dissipate it[00:04:05]

With false promises hollow oratory[00:04:07]

Don't need a gun it's daylight robbery[00:04:08]

Dear Mr Devil[00:04:10]

I thought you would like it[00:04:11]

How I use their faith in God to keep them blinded[00:04:12]

Put on a nice voice read them a book[00:04:13]

And they believe that I am not a crook[00:04:15]

Tell them God will repay them in the next[00:04:17]

They give me their life savings so I can buy jets[00:04:19]

All the reports about child sex[00:04:20]

None of us have ever gone to jail yet[00:04:22]

This system of stealing so appealing[00:04:23]

Convinces the victims their lives have meaning[00:04:25]

Monarchs boast about conquest[00:04:27]

But needed my blessings to get it done[00:04:29]

And all of the dictators use my books[00:04:30]

Therefore they are just my sons[00:04:32]

The Devil was sure this was the winner[00:04:34]

And was just about to put an end to the dinner[00:04:35]

But then the man from the banking cartel[00:04:38]

Stepped up and said [00:04:39]

I think I'm the biggest sinner[00:04:40]

All of those three depend on me[00:04:41]

All they ever do is defending me[00:04:42]

'Cos I paid for all of the things they have[00:04:44]

Of course and all of the lives they lead[00:04:46]

Paid for the guns bombs and the tanks[00:04:48]

That's why you see there is always more[00:04:49]

I turned science's basic appliance[00:04:51]

Into a client of weapon and war[00:04:53]

Paid for monarchies armed robberies[00:04:54]

I make monopolies out of property[00:04:56]

Never shot a gun nor killed anyone myself[00:04:58]

But billions die 'cos of me[00:05:00]

Who needs a threat I make a debt[00:05:01]

Out of thin air just sit back and collect[00:05:03]

Every single day whatever they say[00:05:05]

The people need me just to connect it[00:05:06]

Yet none of them knows what I look like[00:05:08]

Yet all of them spend my money to look nice[00:05:10]

They want more no one's pure[00:05:12]

I hold the keys to every single door[00:05:13]

Sell sex and drugs profit and lies[00:05:15]

Earth and skies I'll even sell life[00:05:17]

I'll even sell freedom for the right price[00:05:18]

But no one is smart enough to ask me nice[00:05:20]

So Mr Devil give me the medal[00:05:22]

Don't be biased[00:05:23]

If you don't give it to me[00:05:24]

I'll just buy it [00:05:25]

Thief [00:05:29]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:05:31]

Come and dine with me [00:05:35]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:05:38]

The banquet of the thieves[00:05:42]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:05:45]

Come and dine with me [00:05:49]

It's the banquet of the thieves [00:05:52]

The banquet of the thieve[00:05:55]
