News & Notes

[Verse 1: Priviledge]
I drop bombs in pagua oh they wish in Afrikaans
A man without a country, Vonnegut spit
Fiercely patriotic with a monocle clipped
And well folded newspaper, the New York Rhymes
All the views that fit to spit you’ll find, right here
Rob Herbert did my fact checking
Tom Friedman fell off the world’s flat edges
Scooping CNN by two days of news cycles
I don’t pay attention to they old ass trifling
Tag lines, Campbell Brown scaring soccer moms
The whole clock ‘round, felt how far the fell
From Bernie Shaw reporting live in the Baghdad hotel
Now a reporter starve to death in Chinese jail cells
I might seem well, the flight steam fell
As the ice train quell the uprising just beneath the intro
Like it’s “Nutmeg” on Supreme Clientele

[Chorus: Priviledge]
That’s the right know when you strike it
They a like it, that’s how life goes
And when you like it how it’s going
It’ll shift moves, switch up
And watch as the rift grows
Between you and the real world
I don’t even really think they hear you
I don’t even really think they feel you
I don’t even really think they care to
Swear by another riled planet
Wish to take it your way

[Verse 2: Priviledge]
Now that’s submersion journalism, Harper’s couldn’t sell it right
It’s the network pirate commandeering your satellites signal live
After [?] in the night, tragic white, magnets like flashing bright
Traffic light smash passages [?] mashed and mangled
Limbs like off [?] in obtuse angles, out a cracked SU-vehicle
Windows acute medical symbols, ‘bout all you can cling to
In this late stage of life, I couldn’t bring you back
If I’m Lieutenant Daniels majors crimes
And you McNulty on the boat nigga
Survived here in the rocks, fucking with the Greeks
Sometimes we’ll disagree, and they be like
“You say tidal and we say total, nah
Y’all say Istanbul, we say Constantinople”
He didn’t even make the team, he’s just a hopeful
But got massive for when we poke the vocal yokels

[Chorus: Priviledge]
That’s the right know when you strike it
They a like it, that’s how life goes
And when you like it how it’s going
It’ll shift moves, switch up
And watch as the rift grows
Between you and the real world
I don’t even really think they hear you
I don’t even really think they feel you
I don’t even really think they care to
Swear by another riled planet
Wish to take it your way
