CODE POETS (OFF TOPIC & PHASE FATE) - Know Tomorrow lyrics
[OT & PF:]
I know tomorrow's gonna bring another sunrise
I know tomorrow's coming 'cause I see the moonlight
I know tomorrow promises a happy new life
But tonight, there's no tomorrow in my eyesight
[Off Topic:]
If I'm trapped in this world of mine
I'm gonna tap my mind and unwrap a rhyme
That'll stand to the test of time
Rep rap to the best of mine
CP gonna redefine hip-hop
Off Top and Phase Fate replace the heads of state
And straight dictate
To the un-brain-white-washed robot people
Telling you my lyrical content's evil
See through the costumes and see what the hand that feeds you is connected to
Wires and receptacles, electrical, without a soul
With a chip in your head and a barcode
Stayed tuned for the episodes
And expose your brain lobes to subliminals
Turn choirs to criminals
Great minds go to war with questionable intellectuals
Y'all shouldn't take the drugs I take
That's a mistake
You ain't ready for it, boy
Stay baked
You ain't ready for the boy Off Topic
Man, you ain't even a prospect
Too ill to hate
I got a feeling
Something is real and about to reveal itself
Rain down though the ceiling
Gonna touch you, clean you, start the healing
No shelter - standing or kneeling
No sides to pick and no time to choose
Can't win, not a game
Either way, can't lose
What a shame, all the time we spent on the rules
What a waste, all the money we spent on the tools
Rhyme sick til the spit makes a puddle of drool
And we drown in the beats of the record pool
Gotta learn real quick how to fight like new
We swallowed the bait, now it's time for a breakthrough
[PF & OT:]
I know tomorrow's gonna bring another sunrise
I know tomorrow's coming 'cause I see the moonlight
I know tomorrow promises a happy new life
But tonight, there's no tomorrow in my eyesight
[Phase Fate:]
Think about what you wan' do
Sign o' the times
Mark your minds with Intel inside
Microsoft shell thick-skinned
You think you're exempt from the pig's grin?
Think ya better listen
This ain't a game like pigskin
But it's playoff
Count down to elimination
Minds elevated to elation
Drugged-up with Reality TV
To replace your family
The peak of American culture's passed
'55 could never last
Now accelerated fast like a particle collision
On the path set in motion since the day of atonement
Yeah ya always known it
Just hoped it was down the road
A little more
Thought you'd die before you'd see a computer chip lie to your face
Now they watch what you all do, every move
Evening news, nothing but death and destruction
Not 'cause it's new, but because you eat it up, son
Sucks to be you, on the horizon, sun's rising
Fireside, best seats on which to get fried
Testify, did you witness the crime?
Did you sit back and wait to die?
The fittest survive, that's fine by me
But the fit have a hit list
Whose name will they find?
I'll tell you who's on my shit list
When I rip this track
Listen to the words, don't just hear the rap
On the streets will you holla back?
Motherfuckers, can you follow that?
Don't play the game and they don't get richer
And hence we don't get poorer, get the picture?
Don't play the stocks, keep your money in your mattress
Cut up the plastic and you cut off the fascists
[OT & PF:]
I know tomorrow's gonna bring another sunrise
I know tomorrow's coming 'cause I see the moonlight
I know tomorrow promises a happy new life
But tonight, there's no tomorrow in my eyesight
[PF & OT:]
I know tomorrow's gonna bring another sunrise
I know tomorrow's coming 'cause I see the moonlight
I know tomorrow promises a happy new life
But tonight, there's no tomorrow in my eyesight
