Doombot
Metal-faced clone. Doombot
Am I just a doombot? I don't wanna be a
No compromise. Charge your mobile device
The revolution will be streamed, downloaded and televised
I wish I had a resolution, studied all the revolutions
Evolutions of distribution attribute the contributions (Cite your sources)
Every year it's more diluted by dullards with grand delusions
No desire for retribution until litigious prosecution
Then the spectrum shifts and we all sit on the opposite end
Legalese decrees that we can't speak without permission
So our beats are hazy, uncleared
Trying to steer in a culture where the process ain't revered, locals are no longer feared
Yeah, there's a serious disconnect
In the feelings that we all get
The history that we neglect
Converts all the disrespect
Into a ball and chain that wrecks
All the foundations that we set
Until it crumbles into something
The subsets just do not get
Replace the culture and soundscapes
With aesthetics and illustrations
Fashion images, Simple grins, and false faces
Let's face it
I'm not too fond of the way we bond
Got a lot of problems popping up with all the facades
In love we fall, the dishonesty gets all the applause, hype up the frauds
And the youth feel obligated to correspond
I respond
Just because the jewels sold (Metal faced clone)
Doesn't mean it wasn't fools gold (doombot)
Just because the jewels sold (Am I just a doombot?)
Doesn't mean it wasn't fools gold (I don't wanna be a doombot)
Trying to reconcile what's mine; interpolations? or my creations?
All the samples and the covers and original sounds
Mediate intellectual property in megabytes
Uploaded and accessed and passed around in the cloud
What do I need? What do I mean?
How do I think that I'm unique?
When I picked up a puzzle piece
And framed it in my gallery?
Just 'cause I folded it and flipped
Molded audio and mixed it
Halo-halo of all I follow
Tell me why does it feel this hollow
Tell me how low and how deep am I willing to go
Chop shop body shop supplies all that I know
Aes Rock said I'm a dork, and I ain't a source of the art
I can't be cooler than the corners where I source all my part. Big facts. Lurk in the dark
Identify the truth
You people exist for my personal use
Your body exists for me to consume
Withdraw your energy to rejuvenate my youth
Death by 1000 cuts
DJs on digital devices
Fake fresh with 1000 cuts and paste
Cut and paste. Save face
With a mask, while I ask
"What is truly yours to claim?"
How do I demonstrate
Create but not recreate
Construct with the scraps and eat from the plates and visit the places beyond pearly gates
Walking upon all the roads that were paved
By those who had visions beyond what I've claimed
Could never compare the struggles I've faced
To all the branches that grew from roots planted
And blossomed through the concrete disadvantages
Fears of black planets
N .W.Attitude
Reminisce over you
Blueprint, Illmatic, Identify the truth
These people sacrificed their personal views
Sparked a fire as an odyssey of phoenixes bloomed
But we just play with the ash and we inhale all the fumes, roast the plumage
Just because the jewels sold (Metal faced clone)
Doesn't mean it wasn't fools gold (doombot)
Just because the jewels sold (Am I just a doombot?)
Doesn't mean it wasn't fools gold (I don't wanna be a doombot)
The world never had my best intentions at its heart
So why quantify success by its reception of my art
Death by 1000 cuts
Bandages around the bloody lines
Shocked with 1000 volts
Unplugged from the wired hive mind
Secure the mask, while i ask
"What is truly yours to claim?"
Please secure your own mask before helping kids do the same
Am I just a doombot? I don't wanna be a
No compromise. Charge your mobile device
