I'm living in that 21st Century, doing something mean to it Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it I guess every superhero need his theme music No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power (21st-Century schizoid man) The system broken, the school is closed, the prison's open We ain't got nothing to lose, motherfucker we rolling Huh? Motherfucker we rolling With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands In this white man world, we the ones chosen So goodnight, cruel world, I'll see you in the morning Huh? I'll see you in the morning This is way too much, I need a moment No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the power Till then, fuck that, the world's ours And they say, and they say And they say, and they say And they say, and they say (21st-Century schizoid man) Fuck SNL and the whole cast Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass More specifically they can kiss my asshole I'm an asshole? You niggas got jokes You short-minded niggas thoughts is Napoleon My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in And I embody every characteristic of the egotistic He knows, he's so fucking gifted I just needed time alone with my own thoughts Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault My childlike creativity, purity and honesty Is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts Reality is catching up with me Taking my inner child, I'm fighting for custody With these responsibilities that they entrusted me As I look down at my diamond encrusted piece Thinking No one man should have all that power The clock's ticking, I just count the hours Stop tripping, I'm tripping off the powder Till then, fuck that, the world's ours And they say, and they say And they say, and they say And they say, and they say (21st-Century schizoid man) Colin Powells, Austin Powers Lost in translation with a whole fucking nation They say I was the abomination of Obama's nation Well that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation At the end of the day, god damn it I'm killing this shit I know damn well y'all feeling this shit I don't need your pussy, bitch, I'm on my own dick I ain't gotta power trip, who you going home with? How 'Ye doing? I'm surviving I was drinking earlier, now I'm driving Where the bad bitches, huh? Where you hiding? I got the power to make your life so exciting Now this will be a beautiful death I'm jumping out the window, I'm letting everything go I'm letting everything go Now this will be a beautiful death I'm jumping out the window, I'm letting everything go I'm letting everything go Now this will be a beautiful death I'm jumping out the window, I'm letting everything go Letting everything go You got the power to let power go? (21st-Century schizoid man)
