GRID

[Intro]

What y'all gonna do?

Uncle Jam's Army's in, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill

Let's do this

[Verse 1]

Aww shit, no more grid (Here we go!)

We all addicted men women and kids

No internet no text and no tweets

We'll look like the 80's (With fiends in the streets)

Aww snap! No apps just maybe perhaps (Where you at?)

No grid is what we need for new human contact

Not even your own server can save you

We all caught up in the web is so true

No GPS what will you do? (No e-mails or WHATSAPPs coming thru)

Now your phone is just a phone with a camera

No algorithms, huh, to manage us

All your post on IG lost in the cloud with your information

Listen rеal close to what I'm saying

Folks might have to pick up a book, pick up a pen

Hеy, back to basics again

Digital mental health clinics worse than a pandemic

More police brutality but no posts on who filmed it

Aww shit, the grid is gone

Universal mind blown, c'mon!

[Chorus]

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

The grid goes down! The grid goes down!

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What y'all gonna do? (Be real about it)

[Verse 2]

Communication breakdown it's a take down

Are you awake now or consumed by a fake clown?

World Wide Web keep the spiders fed

Looking at my feed, trolls everywhere but knowledge supersedes

At your fingertips

Clicking all the keys to the locks

Pandora's box, open up

Now you're on the clock

Not a second to lose

Like your life shorter

Addicted to a platform

It's the calm before the storm (Get at me!)

If the grid goes down you better be ready

Emotional effects may be deadly

Masses to run steady

The depression hits like a Tyson blow

Isolation on another level

Who's responsible? I don't know

I gotta theory if you hear me but you wanna fear me

Dumb us down then divide us up I see it clearly

Pit one against the other even though we're brothers

Make us hate each other while they keep their asses covered

[Chorus]

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

The grid goes down! The grid goes down!

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

[Interlude: George Clinton]

Socially engineered anarchy induced chaos

That's how they go play us

One against the other

Him against his brother

Fuck one another

Ahhh but Uncle Jam's Army is here

What you gonna do? (Whatever it takes)

What you gonna do? (Whatever the party call for)

Socially engineered anarchy induced chaos

That's how they go play us

What you go when the grid goes down?

No sound around

But there's still time

To get it on (Come on now)

[Verse 3]

My style versatile said without rhymes

Which is why they're after me and they on my back

Lookin' over my shoulder, seein' what I write

Hear what I say, then wonderin' why

Why they can't ever compete on my level

Underground status is my domain

Understand my rhythm, my pattern of lecture

And then you know why I'm on the run

This change of events results in a switch

It's the lateral movement of my vocal pitch

It eliminates pressure on the haunted

But the posse is around so I got to front it

Plus employ tactics so coy

And leave no choice but to destroy

Government tricks and what they say

It's all that try to cross my way

Get down

[Outro]

What you gone do, Chuck?

Flava Flav, are you still lampin'?

What you gonna do when the grid goes down?

That's how you feel about it?

Uncle Jam's Army is here

Socially engineered anarchy induced chaos

That's how they go play us?

One against the other

Him against his brother

Girl against her mother

What you gonna do when the grid go down?

No sound around
