From Gorillas to Cyborgs - Kinetics, One Love

Yeah

55 million BC to 2012 AD

The African jungle

True story

Never been the fighter type, rather let the tigers fight

I be in the trees with the gorillas and we lightin' pipes

Hands upon our chins cause we’re concentrating

Contemplating conquering this entire continent like it’s complicated

Yeah right, that’s hardly a fair fight

We only travel in packs, my squad is airtight

Like, this is our watering hole, you don’t belong here

We the real killers, the illa gorilla warfare

You throwin' down?

We level ya the ground

The only mammals with brains that’s heavier than a pound

When everyone is around, we demonstrated our social skills

Go and kill in any forest patch or an open field

Not because we harder, we smarter than all our competition

The wooly mammoth couldn’t even topple our position

First to advance, man it ain’t a surprise

Look at this cranium size and the crazy brain that’s inside

You are not alone

I’m right here beside you

And I am here to move you

Walked into the African jungle and built a music hall

Hopped on stage and I screamed, «I am here to move you all!

Throw ya ape hands up!»

They used to walk on all fours, 'till they came to my show and I made 'em stand

up

A standin' ovation for every single rhyme said

Yes, I’m the reason they started usin' their hind legs

Yes, I’m the reason gorillas started to walk around

And my music finally gave 'em something to talk about

Equipped with a vocal cord, think of all the open doors

History to be recorded, a planet to go explore

But right now, yo we rather would play

So gather ya favorite drums out of the cave, we havin' a rave

And I promise ain’t no stoppin' us now

We hoppin' around in a mosh pit and stompin' the ground

So we dance around the fire and we let the music speak through

Maybe smoke some weed, too, the original EZOO

You are not alone

I’m right here beside you

And I am here to move you

Yo!

I’ve been the catalyst for this planet’s inhabitants

And now we actin' like evolution was just an accident?

Cause when your fire isn’t strong

A million dollar bill is only worth the value of the paper that’s it printed on

Luckily I came along and protected villages

Hopped inside of a hovercraft and built pyramids

You ever seen Egyptian paintings on the walls of ancient caves?

Tell me that’s not a blatant claim that a spaceship came

And used to inspire aviation that was later made

Even back then I was givin' the world «Airplanes»

Obviously this story is not historical

Look at the album art and you’ll see how it’s metaphorical

When times were horrible, and the planet was in its grayest weather

Music was the reason people came together

So if apes can learn that from a human of the future

Imagine what y’all could learn from a futuristic computer

Hello, I am Kinetics, I am a computer

I am here to move you

What’s going on?

I am insane

You are gonna change

Hello, I am Kinetics, I am a computer

I am here to move you

What’s going on?

I am insane

You are gonna change

(You are not alone…)
