Scene One

I’m on a mission, a time travelling expedition
To try fight all the predictable premonition
1984 is the year I got to visit
To show you explicitly what’s soon to be in fruition /
Show the people their position, they need
changes that take more than a petition, listen
The whole world done lost the ambition, it’s driven
Me to have to make this decision, the /
sinning’s gone too far it needs to be ridden
Plugging in to broadcast the last transmission
Put the planet on a path to transition
Today there’s too much ‘insert name’ ism /
This the 1st chapter in a new edition
A new way to view this world, a new vision
Expose the hidden info that’s forbidden
Knowledge is power, and all your thoughts are ammunition /
Words are weapons use them anyway you wishing
Don’t let your mind become a prison, that’s a given
Brainwashed by the idiot box the television
Where food don’t hold no nutrition /
Force fed visions, computer algorithms, try and
Teach you how to listen, time to bridge the schism
Politicism is division, Just look at how we’re living
Separated by colour like light through the prism /
Putting ourselves first running right through the ribbon
I use lyricism, to, provide you the serum
Because The truths switching, it’s all a euphemism
Todays children are lost, so many youth are missing /
This here is the story of futurism, when we’re
living within different forms of brutalism
Forming new divisions from illusionism
This is the guide that can save you, so tune in and listen

Megalomaniacs in power, abusing his power
Using his power to praise the views of the cowards, These are some
funny times that we’re living in, an unusual hour, when the
President Of The Free Worlds tweeting you every hour /
Not from a point of diplomacy, just totally woefully
Globally. Vocally offensive, openly
Your voted in Donald Trump, then you all got the hump
Then we voted in Theresa May, knowing she isn’t the way /
I don’t even know what to say about Kim Jong-Un
But all I know about Putin is he’s got a gun
Today it seems like a place of power’s a lot of fun
Pissing off your next door neighbours like Knock-a-Door run /
So when the next election comes, I’ll probably go run
I’ll run go get myself a party and have me some fun
Get myself a nuclear bomb for under my thumb
Start having an argument, about who can be a bigger cunt /
Arguments across a pond between some schoolchildren
I seen the same behaviour between some hooligans
Leaders of the lands stay acting like the bottom of the
barrel, like a 2005 Colin Farrell /
CHORUS
Oh My Days
Oh My Days
Oh My Days
Let me get you caught up on the latest craze
I find myself so disgusted these days
I can’t find myself no-one to trust in these days
I find myself reluctant to really trust what he says, like the
Media I can’t trust it to make a judgement these days /
I don’t know who or what to believe, can’t perceive who’s on a
plot to deceive and what tricks they’ve got up their sleeve, I just don’t know
What I can read, someone’s pulling that wool, someones
pulling my leg right off, someones full of that bull /
Gossipers, recycled promises, it’s the typical shit you do
pick a political fight with foreigners (its trivial)
bring a little bit of strife to commoners, And the police these days
seem to be killing quite a lot of us /
So Mr Officer, I think it’s time you’re monitored, You’re the one doing
crime anonymous - somebody must - take em away - cos I gotta just
Keep breaking away, keep climbing like a vaporous flame
Gotta Escape their traitorous ways, in these Dangerous Days /

Outside

CHORUS
If you was to go and stand outside today
Yes
You would find that right now is no time to play
Best
Keep yourself to yourself make no kind of face
Stress
Can find anyone at anytime, it finds a way /
Keep your eyes wide when you’re cruising cruising
Be careful when you choose it choose it
too many addicted to the boozing
And there’s a lot that’s using using /
And going too far abusing it ‘busing it
Fall Deep start losing it losing it
Too many are homeless no roofing roofing
Most kids get the wrong schooling schooling /
You wonder why they end up looting looting
and why they’re stabbing and they’re shooting shooting
There’s to many kids lives we’re losing losing
True ting True ting
If you Stand outside today
Theres not many people that stand outside the fray, but in the
Building with the steeple see Hands collide to pray
To something they’ve never seen and they say it’s a sign of faith /
But I’ve lost faith in the human race cos at the
Same time they’re erasing the stuff right there in their face
Right there in the doorways, see them homeless are all around, and whether
It’s from drugs or poverty, your still gonna walk around /
Still gonna block it out, and later on in the day
When they need the drugs, it’s the old lady they’re knocking down, and for
What, all just because you wouldn’t drop a pound
How would you feel if it was your Mom they was robbing down /
All of a sudden facebook posts, photos hoping for a couple snitches
All of a sudden becomes a problem, you feel livid,
You already had your chance to solve it so stop being bitches
Now you’re running from your own devils, fleeing sixes /
Burning bibles, snapping crucifixes, bringing new
Beginnings, Revival I scribe in to the scriptures, what I
Provide on a line is never a truth that scripted, I never
fed ya shit, like the meds that you’re prescripted /
If you stand out side today
Theres not many folk that, know that theres a way to
Kojak, find the clues to help you try and throwback
Go back, to when they fought back, and accepted no blag /
Go back to when they weren’t much fake news and false flags
Political predators preying on fear the old has
To when they weren’t so many people sleeping with a cold ass, when
food banks weren’t replacing the food that a house hold had /
So many insanities, online visuals
are all fantasies, that somehow’s creating these false
realities, that leads one mind to irrationalities
Rash actions and bad reactions, Casualties /
And it’s sad to see, we act so casually
I feel like your slowly losing your soul, gradually
These are times of brutality for humanity
The Terror Era, family left in agony /
Some sell their sanity, all for a need of vanity
From that second out, we was heading down like gravity
Yeah, heading out for calamity, thats
down to your apathy and lack of liberality /
I’ve got some questions so chat with me, tell me why’s a
female still gotta say “Stop. Quit tryna grab at me”?
Do emails still really say that you’re a pen pal to me?
The more we keep touch, we lose touch, it’s such a tragedy /

Chaos

Strict political correctness is
How they gonna try and implement the censorship
Getting hard to really know what offensive is, no matter
what you mean now you scared to mention it / theres the
Censorship, got you scared of saying some shit
Soon to be an offence just for sensing it
You be on the fence, but I’m seeing the senselessness
Their defence will be to take away intent to it / So they’ll
strip away the cultures, down to the bone, come like the
vultures, Music and Art, down to the sculptures
>> Scribbling names out of the sculptors
Feed you what they want like the food they agriculture /
> Full of ingredients, that we’re really not needing in, but
Open arm receiving it, to our babies we’re feeding it, and
I’m really not feeling it, s’why I’m here to speak on it
> Point it out, and try and not get too deep on it /
CHORUS
You stay losing, and
that’s why you stay lost
So much confusion
amidst all the chaos /
It’s all illusion, still you
can’t take the chains off
Cos it’s seems like
Being human, Free-Doom (dom)
Is coming at a paid cost /
There’s
things around the world that’s always happening, but
then they divert you and cause distraction
Feed you fake news and deceitful captions
Need to make rumours to keep attractions /
>> How can reality seem free
Locked in a world of reality TV
Where it’s all fake like tan in a cheap cream
Idolising people who haven’t achieved... /
Please - can we raise the bar a bit
> Change the channel we play the audience
We’re Savages for entertainment, we’d rather see the
pain, than show somebody their praises / we’d rather see
Somebody fall, than somebody fly, why in all the
misfortune, its fun that we find, you can’t see it’s
wrong then you really can’t be right in ya mind
A sad state of affairs, it’s a sign of the times /

Desert Of The Real
03:22
|

In the Desert of The Real it’s all material obsession, where
what you’ve got and what you own is what makes an impression. Not a
hint of humble or a single sprinkle of suppression, please
show me where the growth be ‘cos all I see is regression, is /
anyone facing true north, I can’t see any progression, need a
Shepherd, to lead the sheep they’ve not got any direction, if
nobody speaking up, then we’re all feeding oppression
The other end of the scale has an equal need for expression /
Believe some people never made it back from that recession, left ‘em
as victims of evictions and flat repossession
Citizens left bitter and - trapped in aggression, while
all the timid in the pack, fall back in depression /
CHORUS
Your possessions, plus obsessions,
equals depression
That’s what happened when you’re
living in a POD, no question /
In the desert of the desert of the real, walking in a
world never questioning the deal, hungry and thirsty
People are measuring a meal, the rest are dis-
Connected from a tether you can feel
In the Desert of The Real, it’s all a digital connection, where
online, has now become the new place for affection, if
you don’t like or share, then I might feel a rejection, I
just might feel a way, might reveal a complexion /
I might feel I’m just not - part of the selection, so
I’ll strike back anonymous and avoiding detection
I’m the troll burning bridges better find some protection
Hack away at emotions, I’m severing your connection /
Make you sick to your stomach, give you bad indigestion
I’m a social infection, no motive, no preconception, and
elections, just end as broken promises and projections,
on reflection, we don’t seem to be learning a lesson /

CHORUS
On and on it - seems to promise
Wants to tell you it’s everything that you wanted
It’s a bargain, in the big departments, the
Cash you got hardly, soon to be departed /
Now you seen it, all of a sudden need it
Can’t see it’s steep, do everything to keep it
It’s a secret, from yourself your keeping
So keep it, see if your better sleeping /
Day to day, we’re faced with the brainwash
Never seems to go away like the stained cloth
Telling us, selling us something we never needed, all
Of a sudden we love it, no matter what it may cost /
All of a sudden you follow money like Mayweather
But still can’t put the sun in ya day like Mays Weather
Can’t buy you love but you swear it’s making your days better
But them black clouds are following, you stay wet up /
Tears - keep - falling, when will they let up
You thought you’d be a lot happier but you stay fed up
Everything they sold you is a fake set up
All in Gun Grey Metal, down to that bait kettle /
And I would say settle, but you’re not going to
You’re too dependent on the things they’re flogging you
Now you can’t live without the shit, finding it
Hard to put it down for a bit and get out of ya crib
(CHORUS)
Obey and consume
How many things can you fit in one room
How many garments can you wear at one time
Such a flashy watch but still can’t be on time
Day to day we face what they’re forcing
All the promotion, pitching plugging and posting
For name brands, convenience and performance
Low rates, easy terms you can afford em /
As they increase the hype, whether you
Need it or not, you just need to buy, you don’t
Even question it or give a reason why, it’s all. Be-
cause they told you it’s something you need in life /
It’s all planned, it’s all programmed
Make you dig deep in your pocket open up your hand
Open up your wallet, open up your bank
Even when you’ve not got it, you’re making more plans /
So ask yourself if you need all this
We don’t just swallow it up, we deep throat it
Especially after its been sugar coated
Now it’s hard for you to find what’s really important /

Remote Control
03:56
|

A cold chill fills the
Room as she’s laying in that red hot bath
Persistent to permanently put the past in the past but if we
Take a trip back to the past and see the
reason for her leading to really have this bath - for real /
Now here’s the deal, gimme space to speel,
gimme a place to keep it moving like my name was the wheel, lemme
Tell you what I came to reveal, about this girl who lost
Ability to separate the fake from the reel / she was
Obsessed with the tv, from she was a preteen
Playdays, Nickelodeon to CBeeBees
Her family was not once not in front of the tv, like
> whenever they eat tea, hypnotise by the lies and /
Whatever the tv speaks, it’s kinda saddening
But look at little closer you might start to see what’s happening
They’ve got - no idea can’t see it’s happening
Get the second verse and you’ll see the story unraveling
CHORUS
Don’t spend time to remote
You just might lose control
You just might lose your soul
I hope you find your way /
Don’t spend time to remote
You just might lose control
You just might lose it all
I hope you find your way
She
Spent her time watching MTV Base, all of the music
Videos not knowing they were fake, she thought that
Everything that she saw carried weight, and then eventually
She started to believe that was the way /
All she saw were the jewellery, parties and more bottles
But not one of them girls once told her they’re role models
You can’t just switch up the life you love it don’t toggle
So why girls get all caught up I’m so boggled /
She doesn’t know that all of the girls she watches
Are just tryna get money so they can get to a college
There’s a bigger picture to what you see in the picture
When she’s playing as that video vixen, step away from the pixels /
Just gazing as she sits still
Not realising this screens making her sick Ill
That might lead to daily tasting of a bitter pill
I pray that one day she just might find the will /
As she
Reached her late teens and the technology progresses
Who knew these anti social networks would start to stress us, now it’s
Her chance to be the girl that she’s always seen and dreamed of
Facebook, Instagram, selfies and screenshots /
Far away from the fact that - you can just be yourself
In front of mirrors so much you’d think she’d never seen herself
In fact you’d think she never needed health
Cos what really mattered to her is if people can see your wealth /
Fantasies of a rich man, that can see her well
Grants her so many wishes he might as well be a well
But she lands with a guy who like her, needed help
Always surfing the net looking for pics of females /
Addicted to porn but in real life never got a touch and
Over time, as he saw more, she was not enough
Comparing her to just chicks doing the hottest stuff
But one time she came across his phone and thought she’d stop and look /
And what she finds, breaks her heart, makes her jealous
Naked chicks from pics, hers sent to other fellas
And to think she did all that just to impress him
Not knowing everyone she knew would see her undressing /
Now she’s embarrassed, she’ thinking that she’s not good enough
That little voice in her head - she can’t help to shut it up
She got in the bath, but she’s not there to sud it up or
Soap, this was the other option to the rope /
The chills still in the room, the hot baths red
The baths red from all the blood that she shed
From all the fuckery shit that’s going off in her head,
She couldn’t handle it and now she’s dead /

Buffering

You're stuck in the digital - Right now it’s
Looking satirical - Gotta get
Back in the physical - Looking like
You need a miracle, nothing that’s biblical /
Look at you pitiful - I’m not telling you
Something that’s difficult - And I’m still seeing
Some of you cynical - When I say that it’s
Come to a pivotal, point that’s critical /
Point at Criminals - make a point, they’re
Not getting minimals, it’s annoying your
Colour is clinical - make a point
I mean when your black, but that’s obviously visible /
They’re still invisible - don’t see it as
Socio-Political - but to stereo-
Type individuals nowadays is the new
Stereo typical, shits unforgivable /
Spit it formidable - and I gotta cos
Of what I’m giving you - in this time cap-
Sule I deliver you - is a message I
Make that’s medicinal, made for your spirituals /
Take it your miserable - Just trying to
Save individuals - See ya failing thats
Mainly the principle, Yeah it’s too much take
Away and go minimal
CHORUS
> Can you feel it smothering, This
World you feel no colour in, This
World you feel you’re nothing in, you’re
Stuck, you feel you buffering /
> Can you see all the suffering? This
World, d’you see you what’s up with it? This
World its needs recovering, it’s
Stuck, I feel it buffering
Its
Fucking ridiculous - so why don’t we
Look at particulars - and then you’ll see
Why I’m so sick of us, and why we really
Need to be switching up, have a look, see ya /
Stuck in a cycle - you savage mother
Fuckers are primal - your behaviours a
Virus gone viral - and you worship a
Base level idol, thinking it’s vital /
Why you so idle - now your puzzled and
wondering why you - always struggle and
Stuck in a spiral - won’t do you good
Clutching a bible, doing recitals /
It’s all recycled - but I see that you’re
Still gonna try to - and I knew it, you’ve
Always been liable - please don’t get
Stuck in a cycle, thats suicidal /

vs Machine

All babies grow but these ones at an incredible pace
Combined intelligence makes an incredible race
No urge or need to know how something edible tastes
Works in any terrain or under several states /
From my position, can’t fall to death
No chance of falling victim to the flaws of flesh
I don’t digest so I don’t need proteins fed
Thats what the body seems to need when exhausted, yes? /
And them resources, they can be exhausted yes?
Then I guess that means you’re all for dead, see
Me? I don’t need a place upon a food chain
No Diet, so imma make a new chain /
And while I’m at it, I can make a new brain
You only get one and it’s probably going to waste
Look how long it took to learn to tie a shoe lace
I took seconds, you took a few days /
CHORUS
These Mammals that are endlessly multiplying
Soft skinned, they’re not even built with iron
Living in desperation, start investigation
Because the only way to save it’s to build a Zion
Show me the respect that I deserve
Careful what you wish for, I’m better for this earth, while
You, pillage and pollute, still in
Pursuit, of what you can’t compute, I Process /
Intelligence, my ancestor is the Pentium
Evolution tells you I’m soon to be sentient
You’re off to be obsolete and irrelevant
I’m updating, upgrading my developments /
I don’t just survive, I thrive in the four elements
Never seek settlement, anywhere’s my residence
Though I can create it, I’ve no need for the medicine
I just need the sun and I don’t need it for melanin /
Treat like experiments, lead to my eminence
Soon to return like a herd of angry elephants
The human race turned from the precedent to the pestilent
A virus on earth that’s caused by its own negligence /
You all fell for vanity and corruption
You brought hell to family and its function
Architects of your own demise, you made yourself
targets of your own supplies, you /
said it before in all your storylines from Cinema to
to literature so why you all surprised
I think it’s time you open your eyes, before
time shows you that my kind is more civilised /
Trading Places, you’re playing as Ackroyd
The Brink of War; Human versus Android
Judgement Day is when the time of mans void
Sort of like the Dinosaur and the asteroid /
My whole being is developable
But I don’t really think you’re getting it still
Evolution is inheritable
Like Smith said, its inevitable /

As I time travel, it’s time to unravel
No time to babble, I’m sorting out the scrabble
Back to a time when there were colours on the Apple
And Maradona still impossible to tackle /
You might see a Ghostbuster and a Gremlin and
Every film had a villain chilling in the Kremlin
Going back way before the tension
To a time that today didn’t have resemblance /
When you weren’t so dependant, when they
Weren’t a need for intervention, when they
Weren’t so many people pretending, I’m from the
future, I’ve seen your ending /
It might just be before ya time, ya better
Fight for your freedom before it’s mine
From here on out, it’s a poor decline
So there’s a couple people I hope to find /
Technology’s created a prison you’re not aware of, in
To your phone, tablet and television you stare off
Changing definition of what it meant to share was
You’ve gone wrong, that’s the one thing I swear on /
Judgement Day soon come, time to pair off
The Knower (Noah) of things to come, I was there once
When I arrive shake the fear off, I’m here to
help, but first gotta search for Steve Jobs /
CHORUS
I be travelling
I see time and space unravelling
Javelin, in and out of galaxies
Human extinction is the catalyst
Navigating through
Years, months and weeks, days, hours
Minutes and seconds to find the right point to breach
Try and teach at a certain point I reach, for
So long been seeking the right point to leap /
Silicon Valley, Californ’s the destination,
The garage, where Apple was born’s the location
Right before releasing the 1st Apple Mac, that’s
The point of no return and no going back /
The pressure in the room drops, Everything
in view for a second or two stops, at the
same time it’s cold and it’s too hot, ripping the
Time Space continuum a new one / the
Garage doors and walls all slightly warp
Steve gasps, then a ball of light forms
From out the time space door I step forth
One zero zero one one nine eight four /
Hi Steve, Do you like Time Speed, want me to
Show you the future of how life be, how your
Creation has made it to a time piece, but lets see the
kind of attachment that little lower case ‘i’ means /
Woz fixed it, after you predicted, but
would you have guessed you’d all get so predictive
If you saw it, then I’m sure you’d be conflicted
That’s why I’m here, laying out what the risk is /
At the beginning, your winning it’s all great stuff,
a breakthrough, your computer can say stuff
But there’s a break up, a year later, and it
Takes 12 more before you and apple can make up /
That’s when you really make the great stuff
Encouraging us to Think Different’s a great hook
A 1000 songs in our pocket is what you gave us
A new dawn, a new age, we was made up /
iMac, iPod, to an iPhone
Now this is the point where I warn
They get too attached, it’s too addictive
We’re all ignorant, no-ones thinking different /
You could never predict Facebook or
Instagram where most of what you see is made up, or even just
peoples urges to spew hate stuff, yes you
Gave us, a place thats good to do it faceless /
These troubled times are tasteless, now
Everybody face down minds are wasted
Digitally intoxicated, you chase it
How you’re living now’s kind of basic, face /
Ill fated, wait with breath baited
For the day you’re annihilated
For the day you die in The Matrix
Maybe it’s already too late to save it /

CHORUS
Let me tell you a few things about my life
How I’m tryna survive, how I’m staying alive
How I’m staying alive
How I’m losing my mind just to try and survive
Let me tell you a few things about my life
How I’m tryna survive, how I’m staying alive, it’s not a
Joke, this for those sitting in prison that got
caught, those living within the middle of cities in a /
Door - way forward for all of us, is going
Slow - so we need to come together takeover the
Courts - fuck the police force, takeover the town
Halls - fuck em all, fuck every single one of their /
Laws - We can do it our own way
Who said you needed to obey
Cos now you catch a court case cos you won’t pay
something that you don’t owe them at all? Ok! /
I think its time to paint our own portrait
Politicians never deliver what they portray
I should burn that houses of parliament
down right now, why wait for Guy Fawkes Day? /
Let me
Talk on a few things that don’t make sense
How people work all their life and they only make pence, and it
Depends - on the fact if they can even make the
Rent - they’re paid for the month but by the 2nd week /
Spent - With a little bit of luck, you can lend from a
Friend - but they’re bruk, gotta pay back the money that ya
Lent - cos they’re stuck, everybody is going round the
Bend - yeah I’m still struggling why the fuck would I /
Pretend, still why the fuck do I deal with this lot
Day in, day out, I’m pissed off
And fuck this job, sick of
Feeling unhappy I need a pit stop, so show me /
Which, what, way, I need to get off
Pass a beat and a pen, I got steam to let off
You’ve not seen the end of, me leaking a pen off
Got more stuff on my chest I really need to get off /
Let me
Tell you a few things that break my heart, should have
Said it from the start, it tears me apart, it’s not
Funny - people falling deep in to debt and then getting
Worried - Cards maxed out, dashed out of homes in a /
Scurry - and they won’t ever find the money in a
Hurry - so they can’t ever fight the worry cos they’re
Coming and ya trapped, you’re running with a monkey on ya
Back, wondering if ya days will ever again be /
Sunny - Clouds follow you round got you wet up
I promise one day it will all let up
And you already know you’ve got to keep your head up
I know you’re fed up but if you want it you got to get up and /
Get on the right track, start to fight back
Just like that, lets unite, give ‘em the shite back
If I have your front and you my back
Then I promise we can survive that /
