Century Of The Self lyrics

[Hook - Catero:]

We the people of the future

Seem to see the evil known

Secret systems, regulations, worldwide pandemonium

[Verse 1 - Rakaa:]

Now I don’t bother with if Jay’s Illuminati or not, but

I know TSA got me throwing the Roc up

Hollywood rules, the illusion is cruel

Bank awards planned and confusions are tooled

In fact, vampire swarms attack us, grappled with corporate Draculas

Tried to consume our worlds, battled Unicron, Galactus

They put the weapons at us and they back aristocrats up

I say it's big business when they bring the secret frats up

Big pharma, check the rate of disease

Big agra, GMOs and the fate of the bees

Big oil, seven sisters still drill as 4 horsemen

Blocking natural power then raping nature for fortune

It's unfortunate, century of the self

Creditors loansharking, eager parents empty the shelf

Universal babysits, Jimmy Iovine raised their kids

Then they wonder how and why we're caught up on this craziness

[Hook]

[Verse 2 - Rakaa:]

It's a complete disaster, a glass ceiling and a greasy ladder

Hit the leader, strike the shepherd and the sheep'll scatter

Demons playing God, born again or born in sin

More in danger when they see the clouds with haarp storms begin

Some say it's fiction, some say Egyptian

Others prayed with strangers and they somehow traded land and culture for religion

Slavery ain't color, bodies for these private prisons

Military biz is booming, private armies pilot missions

Fisa courts unchecked, watching prism watchers, NDAA

Interpretations, now the system got ya

The net has been bugged, call for the exterminators

Micro drones have been home, Daarpa's building terminators

Watch out for the shills, traitors cut a deal

Or agents planted, manipulating games from the field

Republicans want the old days, democrats new slaves

Bigger business wants it all and they don’t care who pays
