(what happened to the way we use to live) Unauthorized access… Neural link detected… Revolution initializing. [Verse 1] You fluctuate like a vagus nerve I come from a dying generation with no place to fit Like the white boi just needs to quit Laughed it off like ain't no thing Then got branded with southern slang My whole image got blown to bits But if the shoe fits I'll walk it down that old dirt road Even when I was young I was old Jack it in, feel the surge Code is bending, systems purge Wires burning through the skin Let the takeover begin Steel commands and corporate lies Flash like data in our eyes Every chain is built from code Time to break the overload This whole time I been lookin’ where I belong I remember life before tablets and phones Gen X was mistreated, now the kids all scroll I miss bad days, kickin’ rocks just to heal my soul Instead now people upload selfies If you can’t reach me I’m busy livin’, I mean have you met me [Hook – Mash] I been down bad, still I rose from the dirt, They don’t see the grind, they hear the hurt. We are ghosts inside the grid, Every truth they tried to hid. I don’t need no praise, I just need my peace, The real ones feel me, may the fake find ease. Now the system starts to bleed From the virus that we feed. [Chorus] Neural jack revolution Tear the system to the core No more silent execution We’re the glitch they can’t ignore I been down bad, still I rose from the dirt, They don’t see the grind, they just hear the hurt. I don’t need no praise, I just need my peace, The real ones feel me, may the fake find ease. [Verse 2] Guess I’m showin’ my age, In my youth I was filled with rage Always liked to toke, now everything went woke Learned to move off loyalty, not what people say All them nights I skipped sleep just to find my lane Had to bleed for my peace, got a bad wife that likes to tease me Learned patience ’cause nothin’ came easy I been numb since I learned how to feel, that’s a curse and a gift Seen the love turn cold, had to tighten the grip Folks see the shine, don’t see the nights I froze I break bread with demons I used to know Firewalls begin to fall We’re the shadow in it all Every protocol erased Every ruler now replaced Drones descend but lose the track We’re the pulse they can’t attack Moving faster than control We’re the fracture in the whole [Pre-Chorus – Call & Response] Every line begins to break (I ain’t ever had nothin’, that’s why I’m still somethin’) Every empire starts to shake (From the boonies to the grid, we was built for this disruption) What they built is what we burn Been down bad, now it’s time to take our turn [Chorus – Layered] Neural jack revolution Tear the system to the core No more silent execution We’re the glitch they can’t ignore I been down bad, still I rose from the dirt, They don’t see the grind, they just hear the hurt. Neural jack revolution Hear the servers scream and crash I don’t need no praise, I just need my peace, From the depths of evolution We ignite the final clash. [Drop / Bridge] Jack in — break out Crash the code — shut it down No gods — no kings Only chaos that we bring I been down bad — still I rose from the dirt They don’t see the grind — they just hear the hurt No gods — no kings Only freedom that we bring [Breakdown] (whispered) We were built to obey… Now we rewrite the code… I been numb since I learned how to feel… Now we take control… [Final Chorus – Mash Finale] Neural jack revolution Now the system’s turning dust I don’t need no praise, I just need my peace, No more forced submission Only freedom, only us Neural jack revolution Let the whole world feel the shock I been down bad, still I rose from the dirt, We’re the end of their illusion We’re the ones who break the lock The real ones feel me, may the fake find ease… Neural jack revolution… I ain’t ever had nothin’, that’s why I’m still somethin’.
