I think my brain got sucked away through the television screen
these channels that I watch, they all control my dreams.
Internet’s my breakfast. Screensavers are ice cream.
Remote control wi-fi, I find is my hygiene.
My cell phone, it rings for whom the bell tolls.
Please don’t forget the pass code. We gotta let this spell unfold.
I’m turning the pretty web pages and I’m reading all the facebooks.
In these digital spaces, my statements have been wrote
I can’t even blink.
Take a second away to refresh the page.
Wave goodbye to my brainwaves. Cook thoughts in the microwave.
Heat for 20 seconds, remove it, air it out.
Not here, I’m busy texting. Excuse my air of doubt.
I threw away my television. But I can’t live without.
Who got the remote controller? I know they hold it in their hand.
Who got the remote controller? Patrolling is the master plan.
Who got the remote controller and why they always point at me?
Who got the remote controller and why don’t I get to see?
Like who has control of my brain? Who has control of my brain?
I think I lost it.
Rap TV said make hand gestures.
Do it for the fan’s pleasures.
Like I’m making that fanning gesture.
Just advanced measures of the transcender.
Transforming music, I put in a blender.
Wherever I am, I can’t stand the weather,
can’t stand to stand up for whatever
but gimme the mic stand, I’ll stamp a letter
with a set of four fours, I’m the orator.
I’ll play the sender. I’ll pull the lever.
Straight to the brain I’m the antidepresser
with a bitter wit and a forbidden gifted mouth that I happen to have
and had written it so fast that I’ve smitten your wack act. And that’s a wrap.
To all the swagger actor rappers on screens, ego masturbating,
I have to speak my speech ‘cause I can’t sit and be complacent.
When I’m spitting, no vacation, no more quitting, try my patience.
Try my patience. But it’s been wasted now.
