Jonathan Snipes - 1200am lyrics

[Intro] The moral altitude of man is directly related to his aptitude for self-preservation On the brink of a type 1 society, the question becomes How effective is self-preservation against ourselves? And what happens, when the foundations we've built crumble And new heights are just out of reach [Verse 1: Signor Benedick the Moor & Daveed Diggs] Step one in a matrix: don't think that you could ever make sh** Cause sh**'ll make you and sh**'ll break you, but sh**, you could never break sh** Step two: repeat step one, but this time like you mean it It ain't no sweatin', no half-steppin', no an*lyzing yo' dream sh** Step three: never turn on the TV, Big Brother is watching with glee In his eyes, on the prize and the price of your life and your lies are the things people believe till you die Step four is get ready for the forgetting and forfeiting Of everything you stand for, these are the demands and of course it's Four horses in the form of the force is moving through space Dragon in the sick quarters torches, look at the abyss through our portals [Chorus: Signor Benedick the Moor (& Daveed Diggs)] But it really don't matter though 'cause everyone asleep (everyone asleep, everyone asleep) Virus in the code while there's n***as in the street (n***as in the street, n***as in the street) Loops in the system, can't nobody miss 'em (can't nobody miss 'em, can't nobody miss 'em) But it really don't matter though 'cause everyone asleep (everyone asleep) Sleep tight my baby, there's no need for you to cry Your life is laid out you live it till you die If they tell you different you tell 'em to walk on by Foolish pride [Verse 2: Signor Benedick the Moor] Pixelated pistols, computer-guided missiles A rose of 40 thistles arose of 40 issues Mamma grab the tissues, baby grab the iPad Shawty say "I miss you", n***as say "oh, my bad" Another b**h off the screen, is living [?], sipping lean What the f** do I mean? The matrix is make-believe The matrix is make-believe, the matrix is make-believe The matrix is make-believe [Daveed Diggs] Welcome to the world of make-believe and you can take your shoes off at the couch Slip into some slippers, grab a cup of tea, inhale the steam into your mouth Open up your senses, zone into the moment, that is what it's all about Relax away your inhibition till you realize never was there any doubt [Bridge: Signor Benedick the Moor] I'm your mother, I'm your daddy I'm that n***a in the alley I'm your doctor when in need Want some coke? Have some weed You know me, I'm your friend Your main boy, thick and thin I'm your pusherman, I'm your pusherman [Daveed Diggs] One time for the pusherman, one time for the pusherman Two times for the pusherman, two times for the pusherman [Chorus: Signor Benedick the Moor] But it really don't matter though 'cause everyone asleep Repeat all the same sh** and I was knee deep, on the edge Maybe you should leave, creepin' out, carry the screen, takin' a motherf**in' seat But it really don't matter though 'cause everyone asleep Calm me down homie, calm me down, calm me, calm me down Calm me down homie, calm me down, calm me, calm me down But it really don't matter though 'cause everyone asleep Virus in the code while there's n***as in the street Calm me down homie, calm me down, calm me, calm me down Calm me down homie, calm me down, calm me, calm me down There's oops in the system, can't nobody miss 'em But it really don't matter though 'cause everyone asleep Calm me down homie, calm me down, calm me, calm me down Everyone asleep Calm me down homie, calm me down, calm me, calm me down Everyone asleep [Verse 3: Signor Benedick the Moor & Daveed Diggs Nothin', these n***as ain't nothin' I'm [?] so why they all frontin'? Why they all frontin'? They sittin' here, f** it [?] I keep 'em on guessing and waiting, these n***as need anew lesson So who need a new lesson? Step one in a matrix: don't think that you could ever make sh** Cause sh**'ll make you and sh**'ll break you, but sh**, you could never break sh** Step two: repeat step one, but this time like you mean it It ain't no sweatin', no half-steppin', no an*lyzing yo' dream sh**
