Lời bài hát: Jay Electronica. Dimethyltriptamine.
[Voice of Frank Carlucci discussing Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheny.]
Pigs with the heads of men, spat acid
That lasered my third eye closed, like LASIK
A midget in a casket like a baby in a bonnet with a bottle and a basset,
horn playin' the theme song from "Children of the Corn"
Oh, I must be dreamin'
A lady in a nightgown puffing kush screamin'
signaled me over, "Psst, you with the waves,
I seen you from the Catholic church steeple diggin' graves...
I got your number sonny,
so ain't no use in fightin', yellin' or runnin' from me."
"I never ran ma'am."
"Well then you ain't a clever man, Sam.
Listen, the two faced king from Britain and Rome
had a baby in the bush on the Grassy Knoll,
where they peeled back the orange head peel of a gnome.
He said he emcee, I know you like killin' them
You terrorized the skies for twenty-five milleniums
Now you settin' fire to land,
you the lion, you the savior, the Messiah, the lamb.
You need backup, he movin' on the youth at dawn.
Call Badu and get Tyrone on the megaphone.
Tell 'em I sent you and your codename is Megatron,
if trouble come use your brain like a telephone.
He'll take you to the Chocolate City,
where Two Face and the Prince of Darkness have their committee of snakes.
Drill 'em, let the skin peel off to reveal 'em,
then spray 'em with them rhymes you like spillin'.
Hit 'em up real real good but don't kill 'em,
we only wanna burn 'em to the point that they willin'
to give the location of the blank faced villain
who split atoms and gave mushrooms to civilians.
Hiroshima never recovered,
and all the evidence was smothered
under a thick cloud of rubble
the pope is his brother
the hillsides is his mother
the statue with the torch and steel eyes is his lover
she's a harlot, who stood still like time while New York turned scarlet
and the levee monster sucked up New Orleans
while they was playin' man verse man in Afghanistan
with their mind on Iran, Iraq and Sudan
Let 'em recruit you.
He will try to use his powers to seduce you...
Just let him think that the feelin' is mutual,
'cause if he found out that you already knew
the atom had a positive, a negative, and a neutral,
he'll probably salute you.
Then wait 'til you turn your back like a coward and shoot you
Man this shit is crucial..."
[Voice of Senator John F. Kennedy at the University of Illinois, October 24, 1960]
"...this administration has failed to recognize, has failed to recognize that in these changing times, with a revolution of rising expectation sweeping the globe, the United States has lost its image as a new, strong, vital, revolutionary society."
[Voice of "Kase 2", an NYC graffiti artist, from 1984 documentary film "Style Wars".]
"I got styles already that's more complex that nobody know about... I mean super duty tough work... See this is just semi-like what I would call it, but if I really get into it and start camouflaging it... I don't think you'd even be able to read it."
