Living in the Future 2.5 (Acapella)

I'm a man called Adam, I'm living in the future
I make all my tunes on my computer
I update my website all the time
I like to spit a little bit but it's more than rhyme
I find TV abhorrent so I stream shows or I use torrents
They ban one many more spring from its side-a
Guess that's why they call it the Hydra (ha!)
And I'm never alone
Got the whole internet in my mobile phone
If I'm lost got maps on my mobile phone
Yo I write my raps on my mobile phone
And my mobile phone is a snitch
Cause it tells them (avoid him!) where I am all day
But they'd know anyway cause I just put it in my status
Hi Haters!

Dreams, believe, but don't get sidetracked
Technology's deep, I grew up to tape and radio
And now my young Gs have got iPads
Three-D Cinema, IMAX
R.I.P. to the floppy disc, dead, obsolete
Mini disc came in and then it went out
Gone, missing, can't be seen
Straight to the future, my phone is a sat-nav
So the porn on my phone is a must have
I can zoom in and zoom out
Megapixels, it's so clear

This is the way we play
Mac or PC, wireless keyboard, SoundForge
Still rocking acid, bababadakka
I love living in the future baby!
Speakers go boom
Up in this room
Yeah, hands in the air
I can do anything I want right here, girl
I love living in the future baby!
I love living in the future baby!

They rain checked records from the garden shed
On Percy Street and I think back then
When Akira put me on his radio show
I knew one day we'd be making mad dough
These days we play, mainstage we paid
Made no leeway, guess what we stayed
We paved the way for a new generation
Back before Facebook and the integration
Of social media day-to-day
Now life is speeding up at a crazy rate
Living in the future, no doubt
That Don already nuked his Myspace account
We're all about getting down with what's relevant
Make way for the elephant in the room of reverent
Eloquent, elegant, that's what we be telling them
Hip-hop is the answer cause the elements are heaven-sent

My mind is blown by all this new technology
That is being wasted on making films in 3D
They should take all this new technology
And use it to make Ghostbusters 3
Akira the Don asked me to lend him a hand
So I recorded this vocal into Garageband
And used it as a platform for me
To request Ghostbusters 3
All that's missing from this modern world for me
Is Bill Murray in Ghostbusters 3!

This is the way we play
Mac or PC, wireless keyboard, SoundForge
Still rocking acid, bababadakka
I love living in the future baby!
Speakers go boom
Up in this room
Yeah, hands in the air
I can do anything I want right here, girl
I love living in the future baby!
I love living in the future baby!

Ain't nobody really knows where we're headed
But a revolution will be televised
There will be embedders

Hi my name is Pip and I live in the past
I pass my time just sitting on my ass
I live my life nice by candlelight
I use ink and a quill when I write
And I shop at Mr.BuyRight
Hang on Mercedes, not pre-rapper life
Let's go further back, I am a caveman
I don't even have the right tools to have a shave and
I don't like the way we're portrayed man
Captain Cavemen, you're a waste man
My cave has no microwave, just a fire in the corner
And a hole where I bathe
I don't seem to get on will with the future
I have a phone that's not a computer
It doesn't go on the internet
It just phones people and sends texts
Don't get me wrong the future is heavy
But I'll make my own way there when I'm ready
When moving too fast just gets too scary
Keep your fruit machines: Apple, Blackberrys
My own lack touchscreens, while we're at it
What was wrong with buttons anyway, silly rabbit
3D Cinema ain't too bad but with those shitty glasses
I just look like my dad
I'll tell you what I'd like to see in the future
A boy that can run way faster than a cheetah
Or how about a cat with human features
Or a rabbit that stands up five to six meters
I'd like to see a comfy fold-out bed
How about a real-life super ted
I've got so many ideas in my head
But I've gotta stop now cause my battery's dead

I got no reason to be going outside today
I just don't like Nirvana, don't like Nirvana
I just think of a record and then I download it instantly
I remember when I spent all my money on records, CDs
In the 1990s
50p is all it costs to download an mp3 from my shop

This is the way we play
Mac or PC, wireless keyboard, SoundForge
Still rocking acid, bababadakka
I love living in the future baby!
Speakers go boom
Up in this room
Yeah, hands in the air
I can do anything I want right here, girl
I love living in the future baby!
I love living in the future baby!
