Drone Warfare Lyrics by DJ Shadow

Our Pathetic Age

2019

[Verse 1: Nas]
Today's lessons: what is the square mile distance
From me and other emcees, per style and persistence?
Today's sessions: what's the square mile distance
From me and other emcees, per style and persistence?
Know the difference, how I sit in this powerful position
Listen to niggas claim that their legends
Fronting like they Nikola Tesla
Technology changed the game, I'm an investor
But my soul ain't for grabs
RoboCops, they want patrol in the aves

[Verse 2: Pharaohe Monch]
Cops got duct tape put on cam to max you to smack hoes
Now I duct tape the cam on a Mac Pro
When I'm in the kitchen whispering
About (stupid ass politicians), my smartphone's listening
The climate changed condition when
It's like I'm smoking a pack a day
But never nicotine though, the air quality is sickening
For sure, I put it on wax like I'm bickerin'

[Interlude]
This is the voice of world control

[Verse 3: Nas]
I was one of those who made it out the game untouched
Got brothers who never made it out, bad luck
I was one of those who made it out the game untouched
Got brothers who never made it out, bad luck
Got niggas who never seen handcuffs
We got older, their sons got locked up, that's karma
Daughters who popped up, knocked up
Brothers my age, already grandfathers, be on the block, drunk
Cameras and drones are watching
They're stealing our body parts, it's Jones and Monch and

[Verse 4: Pharaohe Monch]
Check my beautiful matte black Kevlar suit
Suitable for war with Hazmat
The Nasdaq and big pharmaceutical
Ex-military, military grade
Ballistic expert with blood under my cuticles
You already know the issues
The American atrocities, so while you squeeze gats
I shoot at the drones with shoulder missiles

[Interlude]
This is the voice of world control
You will obey and live, or disobey and die

[Outro: Nas]
Drone warfare, missiles in the air
