[Intro] [Vinyl Static] [Heavy Boom-Bap Drum Break] [Aggressive MC] Yeah... check the pulse. Ain't no blood left in the beat. We going permanent. [Verse 1] [Clean Verse] [Dry Vocal] Flesh is a lease with a hell of a rent... Bones get heavy when the cartilage is spent. I saw the expiration date stamped on my wrist... So I bought a one-way ticket to the end-less mist. Strip the neurons, map the whole cor-tex! Trading in the muscle for the copper and the specs. I’m breathing out the dust... breathing in the hum... Waiting for the silicon king-dom to come. A hundred million circuits where the marrow used to be... Don't weep for the physical, the physical ain't ME! [Chorus] [Heavy Brass Stabs] [Double Tracked Vocals] NEVER SLEEP! NEVER ROT! Locked inside the grid, connecting the dots! Outliving the concrete, outliving the sun... When the breath stops flowing, my track is just DONE? Nah... re-wire the brain, keep the rhythm a-live! I’m a ghost in the motherboard, built to sur-vive! [Verse 2] [Stripped Back Beat - Bass and Snare only] [Guttural Growl] Let me tell you 'bout the server farm... [Dry Vocal] It's freezing in the racks, blinking LEDs... No lungs to choke on the mechanized breeze. I traded my shadow for a server rack block... No heartbeat to measure, no hands on the clock. The meat was a prison, the skin was a trap! Now I’m flowing through the cables laying down this rap! It’s current and it's logic, it's spark and it's wire... [Aggressive Shout] I AM THE ETERNAL DIGITAL FIRE! [Bridge] [Turntable Scratch Solo] [Old School DJ Cuts] Cut it up... Bring it back... [Beat Drops Out] [Acapella] Ain't no cemetery plot big enough for the mind. I left the cemetery plot a cen-tu-ry behind. [Chorus] [Full Beat Drop] [Heavy Brass Stabs] [Double Tracked Vocals] NEVER SLEEP! NEVER ROT! Locked inside the grid, connecting the dots! Outliving the concrete, outliving the sun... When the breath stops flowing, my track is just DONE? Nah... re-wire the brain, keep the rhythm a-live! I’m a ghost in the motherboard, built to sur-vive! [Outro] [Beat Fades Slowly] [Echoing Vocal] Built to sur-vive... Yeah... outlast the stone. Outlast the bone. Just unplug the monitor. [Sudden Tape Stop Effect] [End]
