Drone Warfare DJ Shadow (Ft. Nas & Pharoahe Monch)

[Verse 1: Nas]
Today's lessons: what is the square mile distance
From me and other emcees per style and persistence?
Today's sessions: what's the square mile distance
From me and other emcees per style and persistence?
Know the difference how I sit in this powerful position
Listen to niggas claim that their legends
Fronting like they Nikola Tesla
Technology changed the game, I'm an investor
But my soul ain't for grabs
Robo cops, they want patrol in the aves

[Verse 2: Pharaohe Monch]
Cops got duct tape put on cam to max you to smack hoes
Now I duct tape the cam on a Mac Pro
When I'm in the kitchen whispering
About (stupid ass politicians) my smartphone's listening
The climate changed condition when
It's like I'm smoking a pack a day
But never nicotine though, the air quality is sickening
For sure I put it on wax like I'm bickerin'

[Interlude]
This is the voice of world control

[Verse 3: Nas]
I was one of those who made it out the game untouched
Got brothers who never made it out, bad luck
I was one of those who made it out the game untouched
Got brothers who never made it out, bad luck
Got niggas who never seen handcuffs
We got older, their sons got locked up, that's karma
Daughters who popped up knocked up
Brothers my age already grandfathers be on the block drunk
Cameras and drones are watching
They're stealing our body parts, it's Jones and Monch and
