Redacted

And so it happened
Like it had to happen
Story lines so poison
That they should be redacted
Ain't no taking back
Or deleting a caption
The age of information
Is maze that we are trapped in

The mark of the pen versus the mark of the beast
Sparks streets like WikiLeaks all over the Middle East
Ain’t that much changed since the Zimmerman note boy
I rock a shirt that says Julian Assange is my homeboy
Laundry shopping shit I’m already on a list
From Socialist Party guest to ip address and zip
Chip up in the passport prisons in Madagascar
Say Word Entertainment rolled up like a MASH Squad
Rolling up parchment thinking the Fed’s a laugher
Computer hackers human factor drilling for a coup de gratis
Apparatus removed Trebecking till Jeopardy
Is an answer and not a question there’s no slander and the banners
That people wave are homemade and they protest respectfully
Headlines read
Great Firewall of China burning
Twitter gots cats emerging from living like a Hermit
Word life could be the third reich we living like 30’s Germans
Under state control shock doctrine times are turbulence
I’m tired of tying tourniquets and trials get turned quicks
Entire depositions disappear like urban Myths
Before it smash to smithereens iphone in some hipster jeans
Who doesn’t want some privacy? British folks want privacy
Perception extra sensory maybe it’s the sensei
But I bet its my sense of the world and how I can’t let it get to me

And so it happened
Like it had to happen
Story lines so poison
That they should be redacted
Ain't no taking back
Or deleting a caption
The age of information
Is maze that we are trapped in

Welcome to the machine all seeing all deceiving
My vocals are pleasing as an evening with Eve in Eden
Find me in the future chilling in Ede with Yorubas
Or lamping in Havana with the Orquesto Macuba
My vessel is fabulous but not powered by moolah
More like Mr. Fusion when I’m torching that arugula
Organic as upstate
Whole planet a cupcake
Early bird who’s up late
Devising an upgrade
Rewired and duck taped
Reclining with crushed grapes
Master of the cut paste
Popping like it’s clutch brake
Wait…For every recalled auto and anybody who has defaulted on money they borrowed
Wait…For every nation embargoed by the U.S. for some government grudge they couldn’t swallow
Wait… Here’s to the power of the smart phone that give the boost to movements till the voice boom like Don Pardo
Making my marx like I was Harpo
Keep me on the masthead Zuckerberg and Eduardo
Here’s to technology helping to the spread gospel
SMS the next next vehicle for apostles
Empires always topple
Evidence in the fossils
I’m live streaming watching Egyptians walk the impossible
