Madlib - Rage Against the System lyrics

[Verse 1: Big Diesel] Creating a system in which they cannot control A progeny of s**, money, d**, oh yeah, rock and roll Listening ever since I was a snotty nose Begin pursuing when fluids started leaking from my hose I apologize for that deviating metaphor That would leave you confused like you are doing Tom's chores Haters tend not to understand anything in my perspective So they try to shield their ears away as a contraceptive They want to typecast the youth in attempts of cla**ifying But this is a new era and your attempts are asinine This is the kind of music that's not for the narrow minded Because I remembered the days when I was once misguided But, today I flip lyrics like I flip pancakes And later eating MCs for dessert like they some cupcakes For those who claim host of the show, well I am the invader And you the boy who shouted fire in a crowded theater Music needs a revival, not claiming that I'm their savior But as a prophet to lead them away from false creators Empire mindset coming from the land of the pelican Leaving no trace of anything that Caine can find evident But it is evident that the absence of evidence Is not the evidence of absence is just another avoidance To generally accept facts to appeal to the ignorance Shifting the burden of truth away from the innocence That is ignorant that it lies within their consciousness Accepting a standing ovation for false accomplishments Creates delusion to those falling prey to the system If we continue to overlook, then we are forever victims I just want to be free not living in nobody's shadow Or standing in front of the man in black with his wooden gavel But it's all up to you create a name or a nameplate Creating a system like establishing a cognate
