The State We’re In Songtext

The State We’re In Songtext
Dag, it′s a gag that got you
Blocks locked down, not you, and they already got proof
It's harder and harder each day to keep sane
Either forget or we get more morbid
Odds wild like orbits or poor like sources
Forced to store fight over more resources
Courts connected to the board of executives
And the parent of the kid who was just born to be president
This generation gets so many pennies
They develop odds much better than 2020
Sky got machines that can read your minds
And that′s why the powerful seem like Gods
Hold that, take that, make that, create that
Realize everything you make, they take back
Who pulls the trigger? They got satellites
Push says the word and your people drop out of sight
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what's up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what's up
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Me, I spy with both eyes shut
Cross-legged, it would seem the boy had touch
Gifted to the point he can avoid any punch
Divine touch, though my thoughts get murdered
The best dressed prisoner just gets converted
Travelin' to California, Harlem in his heart
Need to be the reason why the revolution starts
Politician talkin′ but he don't believe a word
Fundamentally believe the world is meant to burn
Who pulled the trigger, is it just a finger? Look through the TV, see somebody bigger
Control, power, resource, the media, keepin′ us deformed to what they need to see in ya
Didn't know we′re livin' in a pot 'til they heat it up
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what's up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Doesn't take a lot to make a Kodak change, no, they don′t show that frame
Get paralyzed and make a mind insane, because soldiers don't grow back brains
And you don′t wanna know what the fuck is that damn spell
Swallow water on the ground like gun shells
These are the choices daily that's goin' on
These are decisions that we make when we go to war
God-damn, so much of it′s in God′s name
We go to hell like Dante, it's a damn shame
Good lord, these rich folk have really lost it
Divine like the landmines, they walk across it
Damn, the globe is old, the voles are brittle
Damn, we′re more racist, Vaughn, than Skittles
He got a little problem, not too good at solving riddles
How does he switch up his model build today, killing tomorrow?
I'm just trying to get a slice of my blue gravy
And this life of mine is too crazy
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what's up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what′s up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what's up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Show it up, blow it up, yo, let me know what's up
Check the revolution, auto, monocoque, huh
Blocks locked down, not you, and they already got proof
It's harder and harder each day to keep sane
