The Binary Cage

[Glitchy digital intro, sound of a modem connecting, transforming into a heavy dubstep growl] [Verse 1] Look inna di screen, what do I-man see? A world of illusion, a fake reality Captive inna data, shackled to di code Troddin' down a digital, dusty road Dem heart beat in binary, zero and one While dem forget di warmth of di holy sun Scrolling through di vanity, chasing after ghost Lost inna di wires, where dem suffer most Blue light a-blind dem, steal away di sight Keep dem far away from di ancient light [Chorus] Digital Babylon, crashing to di ground Inna dis ya system, no peace can be found Unplug di mind, set di spirit free Return to di roots, return to di tree More than a signal, more than a spark Jah love is di light inna di virtual dark [Verse 2] Artificial intelligence, but where is di soul? Try fi buy di spirit, try fi take control Algorithm a-tell yuh what fi think and feel But I-n-I know what is fake and what is real Livity is organic, it nuh deh inna cloud Chant down di machine, shout it out loud Break di firewall, delete every lie Lift up yuh head to di open sky No microchip, no fiber optic wire Can ever quench di holy, living fire [Bridge] [Full Riddim Dubstep mayhem, heavy "mechanical" wobbles, sudden silences] System error! Reboot di soul! Disconnect from di beast! [Bass drop with maximum "Weirdness"] I-n-I is not a number! I-n-I is a living being! [Chorus] Digital Babylon, crashing to di ground Inna dis ya system, no peace can be found Unplug di mind, set di spirit free Return to di roots, return to di tree More than a signal, more than a spark Jah love is di light inna di virtual dark [Outro] [Static noise, bird chirps, fading bass pulse] Offline meditation. Original livity. Natural vibration. Jah Rastafari. Power off.
