This is for all ears to listen too,
I hope you got your q-tips,
cuz this is gonna be kinda deep
aight?
1st Verse
-------------
It's been years since them towers were hit,
been looking for them same cats, but they hard to get,
I guess they using nine lives to make us blind mice,
we've been around twice, but we can't find life,
Prices going up for the lesser folks,
and the dollars bad, but they say we the better folk,
I guess we gone act all hard, go against all odds,
buy up more houses cuz we live so large,
Large? YES!
Bigger than many, everything that we take, fuck it
leave it on empty,
because we might just be gods,
and thats the reason,
why we ain't got no time for your rescue beacons
So um,
Can we please find a better man,
(UH?)
with GPS to see through us and cut the drama man,
we living lies in disguise as the promise land,
you see my hand up, teacher I don't understand,
Chorus
-----------
HEY YOU!
GET UP OFF YOUR ASS!
YOUR JUST A DRONE BEHIND THAT GLASS!
BRAIN WASHING YOU ALL DAY LONG
MINDLESS, SENSELESS,
HOLD THE DAMN PHONE,
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL x 2
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL
OF YOUR SOUL BEFORE ITS OVER
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL x 2
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL
OF YOUR SOUL
2nd Verse
---------------
Now that I've got all ears on me,
I'm a use this brief time just to let you see,
how your little HD box has got you geeked,
and everytime it speaks, it's got you weak,
CUZ,
you couldn't take control, you were not ever told,
that CNN and your friends speak on different codes,
but you don't hear that,
cuz speaking clear is wack,
you'd rather hear a gat,
scattered on this track,
I'd rather hear the facts, and anything that backs,
creative states of minds for all my finer cats,
Where the fame strays, yea thats where you'll find me at,
Aiming for the stars, taking ya'll behind these bars,
I'm going those heads that don't know any better,
cuz media giants only wants us for cheddar,
(And when you gonna stop?)
When you get fed up,
Let's not wait till then friend, please let's hit the end,
Chorus
-----------
HEY YOU!
GET UP OFF YOUR ASS!
YOUR JUST A DRONE BEHIND THAT GLASS!
BRAIN WASHING YOU ALL DAY LONG
MINDLESS, SENSELESS,
HOLD THE DAMN PHONE,
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL x 2
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL
OF YOUR SOUL BEFORE ITS OVER
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL x 2
YOU GOTTA TAKE CONTROL
OF YOUR SOUL
