[INTRO - Whispered, Filtered, Paranoid] shhh... They told you this was real, huh? Look again. The air got fingerprints on it... [VERSE 1 - Low & Slow / Heavy 808s - The Awakening] I woke up inside the code, yeah the walls got eyes, Scripture made of neon, preachin' sweet disguise, They don't feed you food, they feed you pre-thought thoughts, Thought-forms in the atmosphere, you breathin' what they bought. Billboard pastors, screen priests, tell you how to grieve, Algorithm angels, tell you what to believe, Whole city hummin' like a server farm at night, Puppets on a frequency, thinkin' that they tight. I saw the glitch in the smile, glitch in the deal, Glitch in the "real love," glitch in the "real real," Grid look like a skyline but it's bars, my man, Free world look free 'til you look hard, my man. [PRE-HOOK - Tone Shift: Urgent, Voice Rising] Hold up, hold up — If the cage is in your mind... Then the KEY is in your mind too, right? So why you still waitin' for a savior? [HOOK - Anthemic / Melodic / Defiant] THINK FOR YOURSELF, break the spell, bring the LIGHT to the GRID! They built a maze inside your brain, time to LIVE off the grid! They want your soul on a leash, want your thoughts on a bid! Cut the cord, spark the dark, bring the LIGHT TO THE GRID! THINK! FOR! YOURSELF! Bring the LIGHT TO THE GRID! [VERSE 2 - Double-Time / Aggressive Gangster Flow] Uh, look, I'm Neo with the piece, but the piece is peace, Morpheus in the booth, let the beast release, Red pill in my palm, blue pill in the trash can, I don't follow waves, I make tsunamis, man. Thought-form? Behead it, watch it vaporize, Fear-form? Dead it, watch the tether die, Doubt-form? Press it, make it levitate, They want you docile, soft, scrollin' while you levitate... nah, you sinkin'. I was plugged in, now I'm dangerous unplugged, System hate a free man who can't be un-loved, Can't program a king, can't code a soul, Can't trap light, light take control, that's the whole code. They watch through the screens, they listen through the speakers, But they deaf to a prayer from a true thought seeker, I walk with that light like a blicky on my hip, One flash, whole illusion trip. [BRIDGE 1 - Tone Shift: Soulful / Sung, 70s Sample Vibe] Ooh, mama said the world was heavy (heavy), Daddy said boy, you better be ready (ready), But nobody told me the bars was just ideas, Just ideas... So I closed my eyes so I could see clearer, Stopped listening to the crowd so I could hear nearer, And the whole grid started glowin' when I stopped livin' in fear. [VERSE 3 - Cold, Calm, Boss Talk / Mafia Boardroom Flow] This ain't conspiracy, this is clarity, They profit off your parity, your scarcity, your charity, I profit off peace, I profit off truth, I give that light back to the youth, that's the proof, that's the loot. One mind free? That's a power outage, Two minds free? That's a tower topple, Three minds free? That's a whole sector lit, Whole matrix flicker when the real ones spit. I ain't anti-system, I'm beyond system, I walk through walls they thought was prism, I don't fight the matrix with a fist fight, I bring light — light is the real knife fight. Checkmate, I don't play chess, I flip board, They want you beggin' for a plug, I AM the power cord. [HOOK 2 - Bigger, Choir + Ad-libs, Triumphant] THINK FOR YOURSELF, break the spell, bring the LIGHT to the GRID! (BRING IT!) They built a maze inside your brain, time to LIVE off the grid! (LIVE OFF IT!) They want your soul on a leash, want your thoughts on a bid! (CAN'T HAVE IT!) Cut the cord, spark the dark, bring the LIGHT TO THE GRID! (YEAH!) THINK! FOR! YOURSELF! (For yourself!) THINK! FOR! YOURSELF! (Free yourself!) [VERSE 4 - Tone Shift: Enlightened / Spoken Word / Floatin' Flow] Yeah, so now I see it — Every thought got a owner, every fear got a sponsor, Every want got a logo, every dream got a monster, But every monster got a leash made of attention, You feed it, it grow, you starve it, you mention... ascension. I don't argue with the program, I re-write it, I don't beg for the light, man, I AM lighted, Grid ain't outside, grid is inside too, You light your grid, you light the world for the crew too. We been gods with amnesia, kings with concussions, Thinkin' we consumers, when we really the production. [BREAKDOWN - Whisper to Scream Build] They say: sleep, obey, consume, repeat... I say: wake, create, transmit, release... They say: sleep, obey, consume, repeat... I say: THINK... FOR... YOURSELF! [FINAL HOOK - Stripped Down, Just Piano + Heartbeat] Think for yourself, break the spell, bring the light to the grid... Think for yourself... Bring the light... to... the grid... [OUTRO - Short / Cold & Final] Code rain, thought-forms in the slow lane, Don't inhale 'em — exhale light. You the glitch they never planned for. Think for yourself.
