Lyrics
Secret space stations, scientific observations
You don’t understand the gravity of the situation
I know it sounds strange but true
Harnessing equilibrium at Lagrange Number Two
The high frontier isn’t near, it’s here
The only fear exists within the sphere that’s in between your ears
Colonizers are preparing for their next conquest
The future of our species plotted while you squabble over nonsense
Eons of knowledge safeguarded by chosen nobles
Infinite intellectual resources at their disposal
Global control of all raw materials especially
The ones you depend on for your bare necessities
Food, water, clothing, shelter and sleep, you gotta have it
Not equipped to survive unless you liquidate your assets
The end is near starting with the southern hemisphere
Spitting prophecies women will dread and men will fear
From the purest parts of nature to man’s manual labor
Everythings a commodity monetized ‘til they hit pay dirt
Even then it’s not enough the greed is really getting drastic
To the point we kill ourselves, oh well, it was good while it lasted
You fall for black magic, I follow mathematics
Getting down to decimals, you’re small like planetesimals
Extraterrestrials are tracking my movements
Communicate through space and time with rhymes and music
So go and tell your folks that I’m hella dope
And I’m flyer than the James Webb Telescope, smell the smoke
Ask me if I’m selling dope, I’ll tell you no, why you jealous though?
Spend the dough to keep feet comfy with the Aasics gelly soul
Secret scriptures sealed inside and envelope, keep writing till my pen is broke
Cover more ground than Mike Deveraux
The rhymes that I write and recite every night take flight
And orbit your dome like StarLink satellites
Mankind’s future in the stars and beyond
From Wernher von Braun’s right arm to Elon
Watch me drop a rhyme that makes your mama clutch the pearls
I’m Robert Oppenheimer the destroyer of worlds
My task is to help the masses avoid a massacre
The multiverse ambassador strapped with the Flux Capacitor
Electromagnetic pulse cannon for delivery of
Industrial equipment and heavy artillery
What’s the time on the moon? Lunar bases coming soon
Nuclear winter gives way to radioactive blooms
I stay on top of it like the top of a sarcophagus
Spitting raps over opera shit, you’re a special operative
Secrets of Venera from the Soviet Era
Terraforms of terror promising a greener Sahara
Solar powered Kyocera, Sarah Conner vs SkyNet
Fight the future with the honor of a kamikaze pilot
The Paul Dirac of rap
Antimatter of fact and the religion is math
For whatever it’s worth, no matter who you are
I’ll pick a flower on Earth just to move the farthest star
