Djed

The djed (/ɛd/ in English) symbol is one of the more ancient and commonly found symbols in Egyptian mythology. It is a pillar-like symbol in hieroglyphics representing stability. It is associated with the Creator god Ptah and Osiris, the Egyptian god of the afterlife, the underworld, and the dead. It is commonly understood to represent his spine.

Myth

In the myth of Osiris and Isis, Osiris was killed by Set by being tricked into a coffin made to fit Osiris exactly. Set then had the coffin with the now deceased Osiris flung into the Nile. The coffin was carried by the Nile to the ocean and on to the city of Byblos in Syria. It ran aground and a sacred tree took root and rapidly grew around the coffin, enclosing the coffin within its trunk. The king of the land, intrigued by the tree's quick growth, ordered the tree cut down and installed as a pillar in his palace, unaware that the tree contained Osiris's body. Meanwhile, Isis searched for Osiris aided by Anubis, and came to know of Osiris's location in Byblos. Isis maneuvered herself into the favor of the king and queen and was granted a boon. She asked for the pillar in the palace hall, and upon being granted it, extracted the coffin from the pillar. She then consecrated the pillar, anointing it with myrrh and wrapping it in linen. This pillar came to be known as the pillar of djed.

4 My Niggaz

by: Dougie D

[Hook x2]
Even though I feel like, I feel inside
This for my mo'fucking niggaz, and I hope that y'all hear me this time
Even though I feel like, I feel inside
This for my mo'fucking niggaz, I'ma love y'all till the day I die
[Dougie D]
Remember, when I let you out of I
And then I asked you kin folk, do you think I would hear you in your reply
Was some shit about, you don't know if I
But some shit like, you ain't show exactly what's on my mind
That was worst, then spitting in my face
You should of took a pistol and cocked it, and shot me in my fucking face
After all the years, that's what you would think
In front of the click and the family, my nigga that's what you would say
You fucker, you brought fucking tears to my fucking eyes
Although I thought to myself, never let a nigga make me cry
You was my nigga, for whom I would ride
You was my nigga for whom I would cock a pistol, and go pop a mind
I ain't gon lie, it fucked me up inside
For me to believe that you would believe, that I would give you just some time
And even if, we never speak again
I still love you mo'fucker, cause you was one of my closest friends
[Hook x2]
[Dougie D]
A lil' emotional right now, touching on the subject
Since everybody in crime, fuck it Dougie bust it
They wanna know the scoop and the issue, with Doug and Ro
Since that's his brother, why he ain't on none of his albums
Look bitch I got a 9 to 5, steady humping
While Ro be in the studio 24, pushing pumping
On top of that, Dougie got faces that I need to feed
So financial security, come from my J-O-B
Stop it please, you people are killing me
Ro you remember when you told me, you were proud of me
At the Scarface video shoot, what you gon do with this
That was one of the happiest days, I could ever see
Since you been on lock, it been fucking with me
Me and whodi ain't been in touch, so I can't get in for I need to see you
I don't know, if I should give him a call
Because the last time we spoke, he told me to leave him the fuck alone
[Hook x2]
[Dougie D]
We went from being skinny niggaz, grimey on the grind
To being thifty niggaz, with figgas still on our grind
And I can remember it vividly, like yesterday
Until I gotta spot the streets, the studio where I stayed
We was pumping the street, with the weed that we got from Dean
You were looking better, but still struggling for the cheese
And now it's 2000 and 4, and shit we all grown
Let's bite the bullshit in the asshole, and I love y'all
They say the people close to your heart, will go tear you part
I was built to last, so I can withstand the pain apart
I pray to God, that he help us to be better men
And whatever path that we take, he got us by his hand
We came a long damn way, and boy the ride was rough
Five years still pushing, keep the name up
And if I ever say it again, 'fore I'm in the ground
I love you niggaz, that's forever pimping hold it down
