(VERSE ONE)
MY RAPS IGNIITING IT’S FRIGHTENING HOW KIDS ARE BITIN BARS
RECITE MY WRITINGS GOT THESE LAME TYPES INVITING SCARS
DESPITE THE LIGHT THEY TRYNNA SWIPE FROM MIKE IT’S NO CIGAR
I BE THE TYPE TO STRIKE LIKE LIGHTNING UNTIL THEY SIGHTING STARS
I’M REDEFINING MY RHYMING AND FIND NEW WAYS TO SWITCH MY STYLE UP
COMBINING WITH TIMING ASSIGNING SYLLABLES THAT PILE UP
AQUIRED COGNITION GOT HIGHER VISION FOCUS WIDER
NO SUPERSTITION, MAGICIAN, RELIGION EITHER LIKE SPIDERS WEAVING A WEB OF STICKY FIBERS
THEY TRICKY LIARS AND DO IT ALL FOR THE SUBSCRIBERS
CAUSE MONITIZING THESE CLIPS SEEM THE NEWEST GET RICH SCHEME
AND FLOODING THE BIT STREAMS WITH HIT MEMES
WE ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB INTERCONNECTED
CONSUMING TECHNOLOGY QUICKER THAN THEY CAN INVENT IT
BLENDED AUGMENTED REALITIES TO MAKE YOUR BRAIN TRIP
INTENDED TO SEND IT DEGREES AWAKE WITHIN THE MATRIX
IN AN EFFORT TO ESCAPE IT APPEARS WE ALL WRESTLE
I’M IN A VESSEL OF LIGHT IN A DAILY FIGHT WITH THE DEVIL
SHIT IS STRESSFUL WHEN THEY TAKING EVERY NICKEL AND DIME
I CLOSE MY EYES AND TAKE A TRIP BACK TO A SIMPLER TIME
​
​
(HOOK)
BEFORE I KNEW HOW TO RHYME BEFORE I HAD NOT A CARE
GRAB A CHAIR FOR A BOOST TO REACH THE LP PLAYER
BLOW THE DUST OFF COUGH I’M TAKING OFF LIKE A ROCKET
TO PULL A COUPLE OF BOXES UP OUT THE LIVING ROOM CLOSET
A KID WHO HAD AN OBSESSION WIT MOMMAS RECORD COLLECTION
LOOKING OVER EACH COVER BEFORE I’D MAKE A SELECTION
PLACE THE NEEDLE IN THE GRROVE OF THE SONG I PREFERRED
SET THE DIAL SPIN THE VINYL 33 1/3
​
​
(VERSE TWO)
WE IN THE AGE OF MAKING FACTS OUTTA INTERNET RUMORS
ASSUME WE KNOW EVERYTHING CAUSE WE GOT POCKET COMPUTERS
INFORMATION EXTRACTED WITH A LIGHT FINGER TAP
WHEN WE FIND SOMEONE ATTRACTIVE WE JUST SWIPE RIGHT ON AN APP
IN FACT THEY HACKED IN OUR MINDS SO ANXIETY SPIKES
WIT A FRACTION OF TIME NOT CHECKING UP ON OUR LIKES
FEAR OF MISSING OUT FEAR MISSING THE DAMN TRENDS
POSITION FOR CLOUT BY COUNTING INSTAGRAM FRIENDS
SPOON FED DOPAMINE THRU A SCREEN BEFORE TEENS
NOW WE JUNKIES AND ADDICTS YEA WE ALL HOOKED ON MACHINES
WE FIENDS –OFFICIAL – STRUNG OUT ON A MEDIA
GETTING GREEDIER EXPECTING EVERYTHING TO BE IMMEDIATE
SEEMS THEY THOUGHT WITH THE WORLD CONNECTED WE’D EMBRACE ALL OUR NEIGHBORS
NOT SURE THE WORLD EXPECTED RESERRECTED RACIST BEHAVIORS
BUT IT’S NOT THAT HUMANITY SOMEHOW SLIPPED AND REVERTED
PEOPLE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT IT’S JUST NOW WE CAN OBSERVE IT
BUT BEFORE ANY PROBEM IN THE WORLD CAN BE FIXED
FIRST YOU GOTTA ADMIT THAT THE PROBLEM EXISTS
SO I GOT HOPE FOR THE KIDS AND GENERATIONS IN LINE
BUT I WISH I COULD TAKE EM ALL TO A SIMPLER TIME
​
(HOOK)
BEFORE I KNEW HOW TO RHYME BEFORE I HAD NOT A CARE
GRAB A CHAIR FOR A BOOST TO REACH THE LP PLAYER
BLOW THE DUST OFF COUGH I’M BLASTIN OFF LIKE A ROCKET
TO PULL A COUPLE OF BOXES UP OUT THE LIVING ROOM CLOSET
A KID WHO HAD AN OBSESSION WIT MOMMAS RECORD COLLECTION
I’M LOOKING OVER EACH COVER BEFORE I’D MAKE MY SELECTION
PLACE THE NEEDLE IN THE GROOVE OF THE SONG I PREFERRED
SET THE DIAL SPIN THE VINYL 33 1/3

(VERSE THREE)
HOW LONG THEY BEEN WARNING OF GLOBAL WARMING THAT WE GOTTA FIX
BUT WE BELIEIVE IN SCIENCE BASED UPON OUR POLITICS
WE A PEOPLE SEPERATED BY INVISIBLE BORDERS
CONTROLLED BY 26 LETTERS ARRANGED IN VARIOUS ORDERS
WE GOT A SCARY DISORDER THAT VALUES MONEY AND DIAMONDS
SO WE SPEND ALL OUR TIME AND ENERGY TRYING TO FIND IT
TOO BLINDED TO SEE UNTIL THE GRIM REAPER KNOCKS
THAT WE TRADED OUR TRUE WEALTH FOR PAPER AND ROCKS
WE SLAVES TO THE CLOCK CAN’T STOP AND CAUGHT IN PERPETUAL
TICKIN TOCK FORGOT THAT TIME ITSELF IS CONCEPTUAL
BUT TO THICKEN THE PLOT YO IT DON’T EVEN EXIST
IT’S ONLY 7 OCLOCK IF WE ALL AGREE THAT IT IS
LOOK WHAT WE FEEDING THE KIDS AND THEN INSULT THEIR INTELLEGENCE
AFTER 12 YEARS OF SCHOOLING ACCRUING LITTLE THAT’S RELEVANT
NO SURPRISE THEY DEVELOPING THESE ATTENTION DISORDERS
WHEN THE NEXT ACTIVE SHOOTER COULD BE OUT THERE WALKING THEIR CORRIDORS
POLITICIANS SAY FORIGNERS ARE THE TERRORISTS TO BLAME
THEN HOW COME EVERY MASS SHOOTER GOT AN AMERICAN NAME
JUST KNOW YOU’RE ONLY CONTROLLED LONG AS THERE’S FEAR IN YOUR MINDS
UNTIL THEY’RE GONE COME TO MINE IT’S BACK IN SIMPLER TIMES
