[Intro]
Entertainment comes in many forms...
And it comes in a black box...
You can love it, or hate it...
But they will always get paid for it
[Verse 1]
You watch the TV screen like everyday
You pop in a VHS tape and press play
Watch the colors flicker on the screen
Immerse yourself as if it were a dream
It's your prized posession, can't live without it...
Your favorite movies and shows, the VHS holds it
Just deposit your cash at your local Blockbuster
And enjoy your status as a complete total s**er
Corporations control the black box, it ain't free
The nostalgia you hold most satifies their greed
They control everything, pop culture is theirs
The system is corrupt and you're not even scared?
I guess you love the VHS tape that you hold
Do you do everything that you're told?
I guess so, because the cultures control you
Now tell me, what are you going to do?
[Interlude]
Time doesn't stay the same
A VHS doesn't stay a VHS
It grows, expands...
Becomes something different
[Verse 2]
Years go by, things get smaller and smaller
Now we got a small cellphone for us to holla
Subject's still the same, except it's worldwide...
On the web, it's easy to access and provide
No longer do you have to have a disc
All you need is a subscription to Netflix
Binge all you want, degrade your intelligence
To the point where you eventually lose your sense
All you know is TV, all you lived is TV
You may not realize it but you're a fatality
You have no opinion, you have no originality
Cause you just a victim of artificiality
Corporate media is everywhere, this ain't no different
If you believe in yourself, you better be persistent
Go make your own stuff, stop watching the big cats
Because originality is cool and the mainstream is wack
