[Shad - TAO Pt 2 lyrics]
"We are always conquering nature
Human nature will be the last part
Of nature to surrender to man
The battle will indeed be won
But who, precisely, will have won it?
For the power of man to make
Himself what he please, s means, as we
Have seen, the power of some men to
Make other men what they please, "
We living in a brave new world
Full of strange new cravings
A little lеss dope, a lot more vaping
STIs and other viral sеnsations
Just ‘cause it’s new that
Don’t make it innovation
I had to switch up the vista flickr to Insta
Flipped through some pictures
Man I clicked through some sisters
Seen a Tegan and a Sara, Sabrina and a Lara
A Venus and Serena and a Tia and Tamera
I'm still, looking for something I'm not
Seeing in the mirror
Will a million pictures really help me
See it any clearer though?
Are we looking for a
Miracle or merely pheromones
Or just not, being alone growing weary?
I was talking all this theory
With a woman named Siri
And I nearly fell in love
I had to pull the plug
Seems kinda like we’re drug fiends
When what we stream hit's the bloodstream
Touching us deep beneath the touch screens
What
"The real objection, is that if man chooses
To treat himself as raw material
Raw material he will be
We have been trying to have it both ways
It is impossible
Either we are rational spirit
Obliged forever to obey the absolute
Values of the Tao
Or else we are mere nature
To be kneaded and cut into new
Shapes for the pleasures of masters"
We been trapped in this fast paced rat race
And now they turned the race
Track into ad space
Tracked, traced when I open up a map
Waze or any chat based app in the last days
Where have all the poets gone?
We can’t hold our focus
Long enough with these
Emoticons and Pokemon Go's tryna go beyond
Those
You gotta be like, borderline Obi-wan bro
All my damn applications, brand activations
Got it all now I only don’t have the patience
I’m not saying let’s make a
Shift back to basics
But, ain't no spaceships gon' take
Us out this matrix
What we face is, bonafide global-wide changes
Old ways is gone, cool
But what are they replaced with?
Business as usual?
Business is brutal and it’s so big now
That all resistance is futile
Let that dream die quick
Take a Uber to the funeral
You could Facebook it live and
Find the grave on Google
Refusal to comply, can result in your removal
From a future they devise 'cause
They decide who’s useful
"It is not that they are bad men
They are not men at all
Stepping outside the Tao
They have stepped into the void
Nor are their subjects
Necessarily unhappy men
They are not men at all they are artifacts
Man’s final conquest has proved to be
The abolition of man"
Human nature will be the last part
Of nature to surrender to man
The battle will indeed be won
But who, precisely, will have won it?
For the power of man to make
Himself what he please, s means, as we
Have seen, the power of some men to
Make other men what they please, "
