| I’m a man called Adam, I’m living in the future
|
| I make all my tunes on my computer
|
| I update my website all the time
|
| I like to spit a little bit but it’s more than rhyme
|
| I find TV abhorrent so I stream shows or I use torrents
|
| They ban one many more spring from its side-a
|
| Guess that’s why they call it the Hydra (ha!)
|
| And I’m never alone
|
| Got the whole internet in my mobile phone
|
| If I’m lost got maps on my mobile phone
|
| Yo I write my raps on my mobile phone
|
| And my mobile phone is a snitch
|
| Cause it tells them (avoid him!) where I am all day
|
| But they’d know anyway cause I just put it in my status
|
| Hi Haters! |
| (x4)
|
| Dreams, believe, but don’t get sidetracked
|
| Technology’s deep, I grew up to tape and radio
|
| And now my young Gs have got iPads
|
| Three-D Cinema, IMAX
|
| R.I.P. |
| to the floppy disc, dead, obsolete
|
| Mini disc came in and then it went out
|
| Gone, missing, can’t be seen
|
| Straight to the future, my phone is a sat-nav
|
| So the porn on my phone is a must have
|
| I can zoom in and zoom out
|
| Megapixels, it’s so clear
|
| This is the way we play
|
| Mac or PC, wireless keyboard, SoundForge
|
| Still rocking acid, bababadakka
|
| I love living in the future baby!
|
| Speakers go boom
|
| Up in this room
|
| Yeah, hands in the air
|
| I can do anything I want right here, girl
|
| I love living in the future baby!
|
| I love living in the future baby!
|
| They rain checked records from the garden shed
|
| On Percy Street and I think back then
|
| When Akira put me on his radio show
|
| I knew one day we’d be making mad dough
|
| These days we play, mainstage we paid
|
| Made no leeway, guess what we stayed
|
| We paved the way for a new generation
|
| Back before Facebook and the integration
|
| Of social media day-to-day
|
| Now life is speeding up at a crazy rate
|
| Living in the future, no doubt
|
| That Don already nuked his Myspace account
|
| We’re all about getting down with what’s relevant
|
| Make way for the elephant in the room of reverent
|
| Eloquent, elegant, that’s what we be telling them
|
| Hip-hop is the answer cause the elements are heaven-sent
|
| My mind is blown by all this new technology
|
| That is being wasted on making films in 3D
|
| They should take all this new technology
|
| And use it to make Ghostbusters 3
|
| Akira the Don asked me to lend him a hand
|
| So I recorded this vocal into Garageband
|
| And used it as a platform for me
|
| To request Ghostbusters 3
|
| All that’s missing from this modern world for me
|
| Is Bill Murray in Ghostbusters 3!
|
| Ain’t nobody really knows where we’re headed
|
| But a revolution will be televised
|
| There will be embedders
|
| Hi my name is Pip and I live in the past
|
| I pass my time just sitting on my ass
|
| I live my life nice by candlelight
|
| I use ink and a quill when I write
|
| And I shop at Mr. BuyRight
|
| Hang on Mercedes, not pre-rapper life
|
| Let’s go further back, I am a caveman
|
| I don’t even have the right tools to have a shave and
|
| I don’t like the way we’re portrayed man
|
| Captain Cavemen, you’re a waste man
|
| My cave has no microwave, just a fire in the corner
|
| And a hole where I bathe
|
| I don’t seem to get on will with the future
|
| I have a phone that’s not a computer
|
| It doesn’t go on the internet
|
| It just phones people and sends texts
|
| Don’t get me wrong the future is heavy
|
| But I’ll make my own way there when I’m ready
|
| When moving too fast just gets too scary
|
| Keep your fruit machines: Apple, Blackberrys
|
| My own lack touchscreens, while we’re at it
|
| What was wrong with buttons anyway, silly rabbit
|
| 3D Cinema ain’t too bad but with those shitty glasses
|
| I just look like my dad
|
| I’ll tell you what I’d like to see in the future
|
| A boy that can run way faster than a cheetah
|
| Or how about a cat with human features
|
| Or a rabbit that stands up five to six meters
|
| I’d like to see a comfy fold-out bed
|
| How about a real-life super ted
|
| I’ve got so many ideas in my head
|
| But I’ve gotta stop now cause my battery’s dead
|
| I got no reason to be going outside today
|
| I just don’t like Nirvana, don’t like Nirvana
|
| I just think of a record and then I download it instantly
|
| I remember when I spent all my money on records, CDs
|
| In the 1990s
|
| 50p is all it costs to download an MP3 from my shop |
