The Dome

[Verse 1: Don Quixote]
It started with a black out, larcenists who craft sound
Artists in a crack house starvin’ thin and that’s how
The culture was birthed as purists refer to it
‘Fore the vultures had perched in service to turn units
Still despite capitalists the message had persevered
In Chuck D and Ice Cube with stench of the vermin near
Speaking truth to power of vengeance from urban spheres
Drawing legislative reaction descending on certain ears
Democrats and Republicans in censorship union
With the aim of obedience and keeping denizens stupid
Still Pac shot cops and got away with the shit
Panther blood in his veins as if his fate was affixed
Revolutionary content snuffed from the mainstream
Until rap’s anger got a bump up from Shady
Which is my entryway and the junction would change me
Forming feelings towards authority and their function that stay deep

[Chorus: Brogodzilla]
No matter how high you climb you can't escape the dome
The dome
No matter how far you fly you won't escape the dome
Dome

[Verse 2: Don Quixote]
Now Che with bling on cozies up with the Clintons
Like Bill ain’t sign 3 Strikes back when drugs were his business
These mother fucking liberals were never your friends
Campaigning on reform is just a measure to win
Their own position of comfort where the pressure rescinds
Then from a politicians podium their lectures begin
Hip-hop has been co-opted by parties that demonized it
Encouraging ballot pulls ‘stead of turning to means of violence
While the club of the state is beating you to a pulp
They’re saying turn the other cheek, we’ll be needing you for a vote
Kneeling in kente cloth then increasing police budgets
They’ll never serve the people, their reasons are repugnant
You cannot hope to change a system from within
Designed to protect itself from admission of its sins
Merchandise says ‘Kill Your Masters’ yet you cry for elections
As NIMBYs approach protesters and fire their weapons

[Chorus: Brogodzilla]
No matter how high you climb you can't escape the dome
The dome
No matter how far you fly you won't escape the dome
Dome

[Verse 3: Don Quixote]
The crime wave is real, parading behind a badge
We went from ‘fuck 12’ to ‘don’t hate them, they’re like my dad’
Y’all take on these radical aesthetics then sell bullshit
And the disconnect is fucking pathetic as hell, cult-sick
Starting things a victim and rising to be the villain
Harvesting from sickness excited to see a killing
That’s what happens when you put a price on your values
Pretty ironic, right? This what our heights still amount to
Chasing fabrications on the race to extinction
‘Stead of seeing dead presidents as a face to relinquish
When it all goes up in flames we’ll be in space as a Phoenix
For nature to re-consume and replace what’s in cement
I got a problem with rappers performing in pandemics
Tweeting from Dave and Busters they’re mourning their fan’s presence
It’s the ultimate commentary on the human condition
Of losing your empathy when you’re removed from the friction

[Chorus: Brogodzilla]
No matter how high you climb you can't escape the dome
The dome
No matter how far you fly you won't escape the dome
Dome

[Bridge: Brogodzilla]
Meet at the next intersection we got a problem
Waiting to see what's next is not gon' solve it
Need a new direction
Fuck the next election
That ain't an exit, that's a painted wall

[Outro: Brogodzilla]
You can't run away
You can't hide the pain
No escaping from the dome
You can't take it on your own
You can't hide the pain
You can't run away
You can't take it on your own
No escaping from the dome
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
