Lyrics
Zero
[Intro: Sample]
"An individual coming into a corporation, walking into the data center, turning the power switch off. All the machines immediately power down because that's what happens—the human infrastructure goes offline and stops working. Humans, not unlike machines in a data center, have sensors. In our cases, a threat sensor called the limbic system, and when there's a threat, they basically go into protective mode, and you can see it when you walk around—people are very, very guarded. They parse every word that comes out of their mouth, they're watching your every action. There's something called fear conditioning, which is exactly the same thing. That person's image gets imprinted on the brain—in the brain of the other individual that they've threatened. Your brain would maintain an image of that 'cause it was a great threat to your survival. All you need is the mere presence of that individual to set off the limbic system—a cascade of events, it could be passing them in the hallway, it could be them coming to a meeting where you have to be there with them. The fact of the matter is, the minute that person shows up, the meeting becomes completely unproductive; everybody is focused on the threat, not on the work. And it's the same thing: it's like having a room full of equipment, when none of it is working—suddenly these people are so—so damaging."
[Verse 1: Jean Grae]
Hacksaws, crass black Rachmaninoff
Smack paws with the cats from the Donner Party
That's a body party, Ciara, Nevada
I'm Hunter's lawyer scared of nada
Paranoia among you marionettes is fodder for me
Tell your father for me I said, "What up?
But don't call me," what's the story? Glory, never
Not even when I'm salt and pepper?
