The Machine

[Intro/Hook] I don’t want my baby born With a heart that’s made of chrome We all feel so connected, yet we all feel so alone I got lost in the screen Forgot what it means To turn off the machine [Hook] [Verse 1] I always felt like I'm kind of an uncommon man Been vibing on the jam since mama got a sonogram I stay moving like a wanted man that shot a man While I’m looking for the promised land in a dollar van They can’t shake me like I’m wavy off Klonopins So if you hate me, you can say it to my hologram I ain’t got a fuckin clue why they fuck with you I’m irresistibly gripping like koala hands Well, it’s sad cause they proved my suspicions They only feed a hungry man food for religion But how is Tom Cruise getting booed by the Christians Who let a faith healer say he’s moved by a vision? Well, this for the girl that’s really got a hold on me The younger me that thought there’d never be an older me The folks that were old enough to grow up with a rotary And youngins that were busted in the ovary to jodeci [Hook] [Verse 2] Lemonade was a popular drink Said the ghost of a guru in a bottle of ink But no matter who I outwit, y’all mad about my outfit Sheeeit, y’all don’t ever tell the models to think You’re trying to critique all of Soul Khan’s clothes ‘til you’re lying at my feet like you’re Voltron’s toes Say tomato? i’ll hit you with a to-ma-to Fuck a double time, i’mma rhyme Brokaw slow I’m contrary Like selling Jordans for Starburys And even more since I got married Trying to bury all the spirits i’ve been plagued with and make sense Of the questions that I been wrestling since I got hairy I don’t rock with you fashionistas Son, it’s on like the Contras and Sandinistas I will crush any obstacle that’s between us And take your heads as a pledge of your fans' allegiance [Hook]
