Yeah
55 million BC to 2012 AD
The African jungle
True story
Never been the fighter type, rather let the tigers fight
I be in the trees with the gorillas and we lightin' pipes
Hands upon our chins cause we're concentrating
Contemplating conquering this entire continent like it's complicated
Yeah right, that's hardly a fair fight
We only travel in packs, my squad is airtight
Like, this is our watering hole, you don't belong here
We the real killers, the illa gorilla warfare
You throwin' down? We level ya to the ground
The only mammals with brains that's heavier than a pound
When everyone is around, we demonstrated our social skills
Go and kill in any forest patch or an open field
Not because we harder, we smarter than all our competition
The wooly mammoth couldn't even topple our position
First to advance, man it ain't a surprise
Look at this cranium size and the crazy brain that's inside
You are not alone
I'm right here beside you
And I am here to move you
Walked into the African jungle and built a music hall
Hopped on stage and I screamed, "I am here to move you all!
Throw ya ape hands up!"
They used to walk on all fours, 'till they came to my show and I made 'em stand up
A standin' ovation for every single rhyme said
Yes, I'm the reason they started usin' their hind legs
Yes, I'm the reason gorillas started to walk around
And my music finally gave 'em something to talk about
Equipped with a vocal cord, think of all the open doors
History to be recorded, a planet to go explore
But right now, yo we rather would play
So gather ya favorite drums out of the cave, we havin' a rave
And I promise ain't no stoppin' us now
We hoppin' around in a mosh pit and stompin' the ground
So we dance around the fire and we let the music speak through
Maybe smoke some weed, too, the original EZOO
You are not alone
I'm right here beside you
And I am here to move you
Yao! I've been the catalyst for this planet's inhabitants
And now we actin' like evolution was just an accident?
Cause when your fire isn't strong
A million dollar bill is only worth the value of the paper that it's printed on
Luckily I came along and protected villages
Hopped inside of a hovercraft and built pyramids
You ever seen Egyptian paintings on the walls of ancient caves?
Tell me that's not a blatant claim that a spaceship came
And used to inspire aviation that was later made
Even back then I was givin' the world "Airplanes"
Obviously this story is not historical
Look at the album art and you'll see how it's metaphorical
When times were horrible, and the planet was in its grayest weather
Music was the reason people came together
So if apes can learn that from a human of the future
Imagine what y'all could learn from a futuristic computer
Hello, I am Kinetics, I am a computer
I am here to move you
What's going on? I am insane
You are gonna change
Hello, I am Kinetics, I am a computer
I am here to move you
What's going on? I am insane
You are gonna change
(You are not alone…)
