Digital Dystopia

from Make Way Rasta by Clatta Bumboo

/

about

Nature or Nurture; deep conditioning or total lost of control, willful ignorance or pure ignorance. Self trap means your phone iPhone taking selfies. how did we come to this? Contentment in surveillance the state.

lyrics

I guess we gonna be alright
I guess we gonna be alright
Only if we comply
Eh

We are living in di dark end of dem Information Age
We hustle under the guise of freedom
Inna dem surveillance state
Just a number on a spreadsheet
Consuming factors inna Di market place
Oh pure problems wid dem paper chase

Look

The city streets a suss yu out
So too di appliances whe inna Yu house
Dem nah go find mi dung di barbering place
Man fully organic have dem dying Fi see mi face
Ah what a pity common people are caught up inna dem smart city woheh
Oh what a pity and there’s no get away

Still Rasta say

Peace be with you on yu trod
Peace be with pon yu journey
Peace be with all ah wi as we navigate
As we try to live life
Living life inna dem surveillance state

Oh I guess we gonna be alright
Oh I guess we’ll be alright
Wait!
Are we gonna be alright?
Oh eh I think we’ll be fine if we comply

People of the lie lurks to take our birthright
Deceiving for profits
A nah harvest the energy inna you and I
Oh

Self track means
Your phone iPhone taking selfies
Self track means
When master deh rule form obscurity

Peace be with you on your trod
Peace be with on di journey oh yeah
Peace be with all ah wi as we navigate
As we live life
Live life inna dem surveillance state

Yes RASTAFARI
As we live life
Trying to be organic
Inna dem surveillance state

Yes…
