the Known be blasting
vegan edge cats on the beat, one on the rapping
living among the madness in a world run by madmen
It wasn't Much back then if you arrange verbs to flow
now the mission statement is about making this universe known
Most trapped in the crap shoot, finding beauty in gold
quote unquote precious stones, Building moats around they homes
the illusions be producing altered states of security
methane in the tap from frack retains its purity
secret prisons torturing, water board for information
free us paper chasers from dodging unmanned drones aiming
We live in times where every day is uncertain
The burdens of modernity means we only learning
How to get by, its time to open up your mind
The known universe emerges through emergent design
We live in times where every day isn't guaranteed
The struggles in streets, smoke from flesh doused in kerosene
Its not enough to survive, its time to open up your mind
The known universe emerges to service our kind
Fiberoptics underneath the seas relay petabytes
cybertronic parasites prep for the end of life
as we know it, our maths will outlive the poets
poison gas mixed in with snow drift as the ozone opens
UV rays concentrate, stray satellites collide escalate
a chain reaction, there's no relaxing
world war means chains of command promulgate
to raise the taxes, to slay the masses, creating havoc
island nations have been uprooted now they drift with the currents
nuclear truce as deterrence against foreign ships determined
to defend contested sea routes, or They try to reroute
only cold blood for ones we got to leave out
How many more quarters until the stocks hit their targets?
Cause Market price don't reflect the true cost of the carnage
we be armed with more than a mind
if you go against warriors its war you will find
this world offers more but machines bottle up its nectar
they wanna mine asteroids for ores to construct the death Star
eyes to the sky with bodies wrapped in Kevlar
The Known Universe, We see farther than the Kepler
We live in times where they watch us from the tower
Externalize scarcity, so they charge us by the hour
Soft power can be broken, its time to open up your mind
The known universe emerges from the start of time
We living in debt, live off our sweat and see no rewards
When existence is a threat, I guess there is no recourse
Against creators of this mess who have no remorse
The Known universe, we the tour de force
Masses pay homage to overarching Mother culture
its just cover for blood lust upon another alter
from troops in Malta in transmit to bring stability
to the planet, use of force as a course of civility
we'll forever pay increasing amounts tribute
loyal to the grave, but how we behave ain't the issue
its coming for your kinfolk, fiending for your tissue
its takes an unseen hand to guide the flying missiles
Its clear that the beast is implacable
so we spread out across the land like seeds of the daffodils
a shift in priorities, no more dialogue
no future in these networks controlled by Viacom
to work within the system is to work within they vision
no perfect search for wisdom but preferable to they prescriptions
The crimes they commit daily just the raise the tension
it pays to keep populations less than sentient
We live in times where the air is unfit to breath
Where corral reef competes for sunlight with the plastic in the sea
We got one life, one struggle, one fight
Until all are liberated so let's make sure its done right
We living in times where the heart is discounted
Broken mathematics drill oceans, remove mountains
Collective suicide, its time to do or die
The Known Universe, in struggle, see through truth and lie
