[Chorus]
Tryna come back to what I know
If I ain't repress it too long
Send packets to whence I came
In this dump, just know to ping back home
Different paths to memories
Ain't seen this house for centuries
I live with colliding energies
Try to keep it submerged, keep it submerged
[Verse 1]
SD cards of young niggas wiped clean, roam free
Among the exports, familiar but it's beyond me
Throbbers surround, it's advised to keep it lowkey
If you see a brother, act like he isn't your homie
I seen sparks flying—to whom? Couldn't say more, son
Roamin' this junkyard, I'm one with the toxins
Circle never consisted of any humane persons
But catastrophic failure with bloomin' flower and no Sun
Idols mythical in the modern days
One thing 'bout my kind, we kinda used to being runaways
Paint the floor with us, redecoratin' for the holidays
Part of a bad batch, separated into commonplace
You're lucky if you see the Sun today
Homogenous mixes, so delicious when you counteract
Power override, left eye, effective cataract
Power override, left eye, effective cataract
[Chorus]
Tryna come back to what I know
If I ain't repress it too long
Send packets to whence I came
In this dump, just know to ping back home (Ah)
Different paths to memories
Ain't seen this house for centuries
I live with colliding energies
Try to keep it submerged, keep it submerged
[Verse 2]
Older niggas don't really require handouts
Formatted or unformatted, I figure that's how
Draw a line from my people to others, they be otherin'
Categorize me as subhuman, a Hollowman
All I know is the drive name that they gave me
Kero's a name I haven't heard for feels like ages
SD-001 at your service
For as long as ability maintains me at surface
Give in to temptation to turn over the wheel
You know you wanna, man, know you lovin' the thrill
'Nother kill, kill, kill, these your brethren still?
Just keep it real, real, real as guts that spilt
Welcome to your new life (Watch me take control), visor update, new sight (Watch-Watch me take control)
So much for the stuff that you said that you would do right (Watch me take control, watch-watch me take con-watch me take—)
Could never convince them to get you back at this rate (Watch me take control, watch me take con-watch me-watch me)
And you'll sound crazy if you explain, so good try (Wat-Wat-Wat-trol)
[Chorus]
If I ain't repress it too long
Send packets to whence I came
In this dump, just know to ping back home (Ah)
Different paths to memories
Ain't seen this house for centuries
I live with colliding energies
Try to keep it submerged, keep it submerged (We'll GoVyral in no time)
[Post-Chorus]
Idols mythical in the modern days
One thing 'bout my kind, we kinda used to being runaways
Paint the floor with us, redecoratin' for the holidays
Part of a bad batch, separated into commonplace
You're lucky if you see the Sun today
Homogenous mixes, so delicious when you counteract
Power override, left eye, effective cataract
Power override, left eye, effective cataract
[Outro]
(Idols mythical in the modern days)
(One thing 'bout my kind, we kinda used to being runaways)
(Paint the floor with us, redecoratin' for the holidays)
(Part of a bad batch, separated into commonplace)
Watch me take control
Watch me take control
Watch me t—
Watch me t—
