[Recorded Voice] You are listening to the heartbeat of the Sage Sage posses the newest and most revolutionary advance in split second presentation As well as split second calculation To protect the future of America The defense techniques of tomorrow had to be discovered now But Sage needed more than this New concepts, new tools, new weapons By analyzing the past, Sage can project into the future
[Sage Francis] I used to think that rappers had it figured out Brass Monkey, St. Ides, Old English, and Guiness Stout Once a man twice a boy with a choice of vice or voice of spite Not enough poisons to pick to enjoy this life Now I thought suicide was a suburban myth I couldn't see my own hands being the ones I'm murdered with That is until I travelled this world a bit I understand now if I lose my nerve I'll get the girl to do it! She heard the music but preferred the person, she's worth it The only one I left behind the curtain to work with Pushin' buttons and playin' with levers We'll stay together as long as I'm honest in my songs (Radio) Suckers never play this Scared shitless of dismissing clear channel playlists Poorly developed, yet highly advanced The black music intertwined with the white man's line dance
[Recorded Voice] Supersonic, super destructive, seemingly unresistable On the job, around the clock, with 24 hour a day reliability Constantly monitoring, pulse-taking, controlling Into a continuous flow of interpretation, which could be understood at a glance
[Sage Francis] It's not only a time I'm kept Busy with shivers and cold shakes Sitting on snow banks Waiting to be delivered some soulmates Or wait Lift and tuck my fate for several levels Fill my body till they send me an empty face with the head of devils My breath resembles the smell of flowers Yanked from life, placed in a vase Sits and wilts and watch 'em dies in the name of grave mistakes That we all make Believe that we're getting by treating ourselves wrong Throw me a reindeer John letter party And ill be there with bells on Hell spawn So if he calls the city hall They still got the gall To blame the victory on biggie smalls From strip malls To strip clubs They slip drugs Into the drinks that kids love Tell us to drink up and get buzzed This is the buzz kill jump into the saddle Emerge from the dust kicked up in the uphill battle With my guns drawn and sword out Pointed towards the couthouse I sort out words from my war torn mouth I disassociate the actions with their meanings Songs from "ends justify their means" mentality Plus I'm bleeding Give me a bandaid a band that can play A fanbase with hearing aids and a voice like a hand grenade I pull the wool over their vision Pull the pin and push it in 'em Using women as a pin cusion A super villian With some war paint and jokes done in poor taste We'll see who laughs last all the way to foreign banks
[Recorded Voice] Ready to take over in a matter of seconds to protect the future of America Sage also has protection too (Come on come on, feel it feel it) The protection which comes with the possesion weapons of retaliation But is this protection enough?
[Sage Francis] (I was) I was B-boyin' in my former body Singing all the songs at parties Now I'm like don't let nobody Through the door in the hotel lobby I'd wear Armani if they endorse me So people who are poor can rob me Then forcefully sex me up Color me confused when they paint issues black and white Resuscitate their grey matter right back to life It's my destiny she wants me she beckons She left me for dead but death didnt want no sloppy seconds I'm certified fresh Our freedom kissed the French for their political dissent Like *mwah* I do it with tongue this time And take that bovine blood out your wine And take that statue back to the lab it was created at Your huddled masses yearning to breath free Take 'em back! Your homeless tempest-tossed to me Take 'em back! The U-S-A has cracked
[Recorded Voice] And as long as we're on guard As long as we're ready to look ahead To move ahead The future of America is secureTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
