So we look at what's going on This as an extreme aggression, um I'm also hearing about it from everywhere It's, it's on the islands, it's on the continent It's here, it's everywhere And this is, if you will, a war An all out assault by The sly Fox, cyclops relies on the idiot box The video slots broadcasting Waco Davidian plots They own YouTube, MySpace When this ignorant shit gon' stop? They monopolize and knows your views, any channel you choose Propaganda, visual cancer The eyes in the sky number five on the dial Secret agenda, frequency antenna, doctor mind bender Remote control soul, control your brain Hold it slave, coaching games over What's the Fox characteristic? Slick shit censored, misinformation Pimp the station, over stimulation Reception, deception, Comcast digital Satan The Fox has a bushy tail, and Bush tells lies in fox trots So I don't know what's real Watch what you watchin', Fox keeps feeding us toxins Stop sleeping, start thinkin' outside of the box And unplug from the matrix doctrine But watch what you say, Big Brother is watching Watch what you watchin', Fox keeps feeding us toxins Stop sleeping, start thinkin' outside of the box And unplug from the matrix doctrine But watch what you say, Fox Five is watching The Fifth Act that got you all riled up Oh rally, oh really? No rally needed, I'll tie you up Network for child predators, setting 'em up MySpace pimps hoes and sluts Y'all exploit rap culture then y'all flip on us And you own the post, and y'all shit on us What is they net worth? They gon' try to censor my next verse Throw 'em off the roof neck first While I'm clicking my cursor Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal It gets worse, while I'm clicking my mouse While they kicking my house, they figures us out Why a nigga go south, It's either he caught a body Don't sleep they watchin' on CBS and I see BS Tryna track us down with GPS, make a nigga wanna invest in PBS (CBS) Watch what you watchin', Fox keeps feeding us toxins Stop sleeping, start thinkin' outside of the box And unplug from the matrix doctrine But watch what you say, Big Brother is watching Watch what you watchin', Fox keeps feeding us toxins Stop sleeping, start thinkin' outside of the box And unplug from the matrix doctrine But watch what you say, Fox Five is watching They say I'm all about murder, murder and kill, kill But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill? What about Cheney and Halliburton, the back door deals on oil fields? How is Nas the most violent person? Y'all don't know talent if it hit you Bringing up my criminal possession charges with a pistol I use Viacom as my firearm Then let the lyrics split you, who do you rely upon? Then shoot shells at Leviathan I'm dealing with the higher form Fuck if you care of how I write a poem Only fox that I loved was the Red one Only black man that Fox love is in jail or a dead one Red rum, political bedlam Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum Murdoch owns Fox not A-Team with Baracus And he hates Barack 'cause he march with the marches I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth Not the biased truth, not the liest truth But the highest truth I will not be deceived, nor will I believe in the propaganda I will not fall for the okie-doke I am tuned in Watch what they watching Watch what you're watching Better watch 'cause they're watching Watch what you're watching M-m-media, misleading you Watch what you're watching So, Mr. Jones I understand you've been experiencing some frustration My guess, maybe post-traumatic stress? Even post-traumatic slave syndrome Why don't we begin this session by Letting you talk it out, just talk
