Lyrics TAO Pt 1 - Shad

(Get in touch)

—In other words
I′m from Mother Earth
But Im otherwordly
Every other word is murder
If Mr Wonder heard me
He'd say he′s the new Miles
A younger Bird
Another Herbie
My mother's Mavis
Pops is Pops
And my drummer's Purdie
That′s lineage
My blood is dirty
That′s word to my brother
Like that brother Curry
Of the jersey with number 30
You up in church
When I utter verses
Of love and mercy
The ushers worship
And start twerking
With the other clergy
I'm battled tested
But was never that aggressive
Even as an adolescent
I would rather have a message
But man alive
The whole game′s been sanitized
Damn what we done to the young
Is like infanticide
Infantilized
The dumbed-down get amplified
Via algorithms that's anything but randomized
I cant abide
While these lies keep confusing things
They use ephemisms
To lose the meaning of human beings
We know we′re old souls
They call us new machines
What they call enhanced reality's
A lucid dream
Literally remove the screen
And you′ll see thru the schemes
The stupid memes we consume
Keep us too serene
I love to laugh too but
It's too much
What we lose
In our addiction
To these cool new drugs
We relax then detach then
We straight lose touch
With everything
And thats when at the last we lose us
