[Verse 1] The age of information I grew up and never blew up I knew one day I'd be the big dog, Colombia cocaine White will have his women surrounding me and my carats The only time I call a chick now is Bloody Mary
It's in the mirror I'm feelin' like I'm a champion, lookin' like I'm a mannequin Cannabis residue is on my seat from breaking down again I'm on computers Profusely Searching for answers, give it to me It's like I'm married, I'm watching the the bloggers heavily TV is ran by money, how am I supposed to be? The truth is near me, I can hear it and I can feel it But are we dumbing down for technology and the cost of living? I just forget it, continually smoking heavily Thinking about the melody, thinking of what's ahead of me We comin' further than ever to live as strangers and Somebody got the weapon that's controlling the human race
[Hook] It's the age of information... the age of information (This is the age of information. Everything is on the Internet now. Data! Yes!)
[Verse 2] My desktop is made to sedate me Think illogically on my laptop for hours like I'm in college We honestly asking Google about things that I should learn about Can't even get lost in an area so phone overtake it, got a call so never walkin' They took away places where it's only the forest I'm jogging in peace, I got my iPod slappin' these beats I'm on a mission to find peace in a position The cost of living is taxes and jail time without time to find your passion I'm asking the older people how you make it to your status They laugh, because they see reflection while I'm asking questions And the best gift is to listen, learn math to count your blessings Used to catch a bus on AC transit, dark nights Look like 20/20 lens-out of focus Waiting outside of stores, asking elders to buy switches and they come back with 50 cents Now I'm buyin' liquor, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter Youtube ? Shut portal off to the average human being I'm watchin' people in Japan making cheese from overseas, ChatRoulette
I used to be on the corner where's drug connects, so pick, obviously The information, like, art, it hurt the race Because we judge before we classify It's like a case, human races feel Even though we in space we still hate ourselves The age of information is hell
[Outro] When I said... that information has hurt the race? This age of information has hurt the race, and you know why? Because all we do is judge. All the movies, all the Internet, all we do is classify people. Now I feel the Internet has ruined the human race. Even though, you know, we can fly, and cars and technology has gotten better, I feel the the human race is not progressed as much as we should be. How come the human race isn't progressing as fast as technology has? Yeah, we gonna be staying on the moon, but there's still gonna be races. So, in the end, are we really winning -- these nuclear bombs, nuclear war? What's going on? This is Lil B, "The Age of Information," 2010. Shouts out to the East Coast, West Side
