[INTRO - distorted radio transmission] Check, check... Earth to Mars. Mars to Earth. You got satellites up there? Good. Point one this way. [VERSE 1] Built it in the basement, built it in the dark, no boardroom invitation, just a wire and a spark. Everybody told me, "Stay inside the lines." I took another road and started bending fucking signs. No blue check halo, no billion-dollar crown, just a signal getting louder from beneath the underground. They said, "Who the hell are you?" I said, Turn the telescope around. [PRE-CHORUS] I don't need a rocket to get above the noise. I don't need permission to amplify my voice. You can put a car in orbit, you can tunnel through the ground... But tell me one thing, Elon... [CHORUS] YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? I'm lighting up the static from the basement to the clouds. YO ELON! CAN YOU HEAR THIS SOUND? Whole damn underground about to shake the satellites down. No invitation. No velvet rope. Built this motherfucker out of voltage, scars, and hope. So turn Starlink around. YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? [DROP] SEE ME NOW. SEE ME NOW. SIGNAL FOUND. SIGNAL FOUND. ⚡ [VERSE 2] You were launching Falcons, I was launching dreams, trying to connect the pieces nobody else could see. You were talking multiplanet, I was thinking sovereignty, what happens when the future belongs to everybody? Not another kingdom. Not another cage. Not another algorithm selling pieces of our names. Build the damn machines, man. But remember who they serve. Technology without a soul is just a faster way to burn. [PRE-CHORUS] I don't want your empire. I don't want your throne. I wanna know if anyone building tomorrow knows: The future isn't hardware. It's the humans standing proud. So tell me something, Elon... [CHORUS] YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? I'm lighting up the static from the basement to the clouds. YO ELON! CAN YOU HEAR THIS SOUND? Whole damn underground about to shake the satellites down. No invitation. No velvet rope. Built this motherfucker out of voltage, scars, and hope. So turn Starlink around. YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? [HALF-TIME BREAKDOWN] Hold up. You bought the bird. Changed the name. Built the rockets. Built the flame. Cars drive themselves. Robots walk. Mars is waiting. Cool. Let's talk. Can your machine recognize a human without turning him into a product? Can intelligence become powerful without becoming another throne? Can we build something enormous... and still leave people free? Because THAT... that's a launch worth watching. [BUILD] Three... Signal. Six... Systems. Nine... IGNITION. [DROP / GANG VOCALS] WE ARE NOT THE DATA! HEY! WE ARE NOT THE PRODUCT! HEY! WE ARE THE PEOPLE BUILDING WHAT COMES NEXT! HEY! [FINAL CHORUS] YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? I threw a fucking lightning bolt straight through the digital clouds. YO ELON! CAN YOU HEAR US NOW? A million little signals turning thunder when they're loud. No throne required. No chosen few. Tomorrow ain't a kingdom if tomorrow's built for you. So point those satellites down. YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? [POST-CHORUS] See me now. Hear me now. Signal rising from the crowd. No gatekeeper. No bowing down. YO ELON! CAN YOU SEE ME NOW? [OUTRO - radio static] Earth to Mars... Message delivered. No response required. ... But it'd be pretty fucking funny.
