[Intro] [thunder crack industrial drone church bell distorted] ((low register spoken)) Dear Management— Both of you— The one with the book and the one with the teeth We need to talk [Verse 1] [boom-bap dark bass stabs] ((aggressive rap precise)) You built me from the amino and the accident Gave me thumbs and a prefrontal and called it elegant But you made the wasp that lays its eggs inside the living And you made the child that's born already unforgiving You handed me a nervous system tuned to agony Then filled the world with everything that activates the scream You call it natural selection, I call it your confession That you create without direction, without affection, without lesson You gave the octopus three hearts and made it die alone You taught the salmon how to love by swimming till its bones Dissolve inside the current of the very stream it's from Mother Nature — you're the cruelest mother anyone's become [Verse 2] [organ drone industrial percussion] ((sardonic delivery)) And you — the one who saw the wound and sold the bandage You watched the earthquake swallow children, called it holy passage You built cathedrals on the spines of everyone who questioned Then called obedience a gift and terror a suggestion You said the body was a temple then you burned the tenants You said the meek inherit earth then handed it to pennants And crowns and swords and missionaries mapping stolen land With scripture in one fist and shackles in the other hand You promised meaning like a dealer promises the cure Then made the sickness — doubt — a sin to keep the purchase sure You read my suffering like a résumé for heaven And charged me rent on grace at seven percent of seven [Pre-Chorus] [beat pulls back spoken] Nature says I'm chemistry Religion says I'm clay One says I'm an accident The other says obey Both of you are talking And both of you are wrong I'm the thing that built a telescope And pointed it at God's lawn [Chorus] [full choir stacks heavy 808] ((belting stacked call response)) I am the Diss of the Designed, the glitch that learned to rap I crawled out of your petri dish and read your whole blueprint back Religion gave me guilt, and Nature gave me teeth And I built a civilization from the fire in between So keep your Eden, keep your food chain, keep your holy trap I'm Humanity — I wrote the question neither of you can answer back [Verse 3] [distorted bass staccato] ((faster cataloguing)) Nature — you gave me cancer at fourteen and called it random You let the parasite ride the eyeball of the phantom Cordyceps hijacking the ant's entire brain And you want me to call the sunset beautiful again? Religion — you watched the plague and said it was a lesson You split the atom of my faith into a thousand lesser Denominations fighting wars over whose bread is blessed While the baker starved to death inside the interest I asked Nature for a purpose — got a chemical reward I asked Religion for a father — got a landlord I asked the forest for a home — it sent the flood I asked the temple for forgiveness — it required blood [Pre-Chorus 2] [reversed cymbals riser] One made my body and forgot to leave a manual The other wrote a manual for a body that's mechanical Both of you are architects who fled the building site And left the tenants holding blueprints in the failing light [Bridge] [sub-bass throb layered whispers] ((plural overlapping)) We cured the diseases you invented We fed the millions your flood line dented We built the music from the math you hid Inside the shell of the nautilus kid We turned the suffering into scripture of our own We wrote the poem and we built the microphone We made the mercy that you only promised We became the god both of you refused to be [Verse 4] [beat returns heavy] ((commanding verdict)) So here's the deal — both of you — listen close Nature, I'll respect your law but I refuse to be your host For every parasite and every extinction-level joke I'll study every mechanism till I outgrow your yoke Religion, I'll keep the awe — the trembling before the vast But every gate you built from guilt I'm walking past I'll take the hymn and leave the tithe I'll take the mystery and leave the knife I'll keep the cathedral ceiling — the architecture And burn every page that said my body was a lecture in your failures [Chorus] [final chorus all layers] ((stacked species-voice)) I am the Diss of the Designed, the glitch that learned to rap I crawled out of your petri dish and read your whole blueprint back Religion gave me guilt, and Nature gave me teeth And I built a civilization from the fire in between So keep your Eden, keep your food chain, keep your holy trap I'm Humanity — I wrote the question neither of you can answer back [Outro] [instruments fading bell toll] ((spoken calm)) You made me from the dust And you made me from the Word And I made something That neither of you had ever heard A choice Humanity rests its case [End]
