[Verse 1]
I'm living in that 21st Century, doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power
The clock's ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
(21st-Century schizoid man)
The system broken, the school is closed, the prison's open
We ain't got nothing to lose, motherf**er we rolling
Huh? Motherf**er we rolling
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I'll see you in the morning
Huh? I'll see you in the morning
This is way too much, I need a moment
[Hook]
No one man should have all that power
The clock's ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power
Till then, f** that, the world's ours
And they say
(21st-Century schizoid man)
[Verse 2]
f** SNL and the whole cast
Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole a**
More specifically they can kiss my a**hole
I'm an a**hole? You n***as got jokes
You short-minded n***as thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
And I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He knows, he's so f**ing gifted
I just needed time alone with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catching up with me
Taking my inner child, I'm fighting for custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece
Thinking
[Hook]
No one man should have all that power
The clock's ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the powder
Till then, f** that, the world's ours
And they say
(21st-Century schizoid man)
[Verse 3]
Colin Powells, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f**ing nation
They say I was the abomination of Obama's nation
Well that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of the day, god damn it I'm k**ing this sh**
I know damn well y'all feeling this sh**
I don't need your p**y, b**h, I'm on my own dick
I ain't gotta power trip, who you going home with?
How Ye doing? I'm surviving
I was drinking earlier, now I'm driving
Where the bad b**hes, huh? Where you hiding?
I got the power to make your life so exciting
[Outro]
Now this will be a beautiful d**h
(I'm jumping out the window, I'm letting everything go)You got the power to let power go?
(21st-Century schizoid man)
