Manufacturing Consent
[Intro]
Look
Yeah
[Verse 1: Vinnie Paz]
How you get your news? Where it come from?
CNN, Fox News what I run from
Americans are all political stripes
Believe the information they givin' isn't precise
Sensationalism and bias
You think that any media mogul is pious?
Most of y'all are easily persuadable
You find that motherfucker on the news relatable?
The echo chamber making you insatiable
Cultural tribalism isn't sustainable
Is you anti-vax? Is you pro-vax?
How could you be either one if you got no facts?
You think you build a radical philosophy?
With the ubiquity of digital technology?
Politics and media been bedfеllows forever
Creatеd a social reality that I would never
The truth and lies not comparative
The amount of clicks justify the narrative
Time to rethink, redesign and reform
Democracy'll only work when the people informed
[Chorus: Sample]
Brain washing
Brain washing (Brain washing, baby)
Brain washing (I got a new one)
Brain washing
[Verse 2: Vinnie Paz]
Yeah, I dropped "End of Days", some thought I was crazy
But a lotta y'all thought it's amazing
You think that I believe every word of it's hazy
I was just tryna see what pill you was taking
Bohemian Grove or Vatican assassins
I studied both for years and I saw the data
Skeletons on the moon, that was something I read
But I dug a little deeper and left it for dead
You gotta do the same, gotta investigate
Fact-check, make certain, and authenticate
Maybe I presented everything as factual
Maybe I gave it to you like it's a manual
If I did, that was wrong of me, I'm fallible
I take responsibility for it, it was valuable
On the other hand, it open people eyes
Because I told a lotta truth on there, and people rise
And spoke about chemtrails, it was pee from the skies
I gave some people the incentive to see through the lies
All and all, I would never take the song back
I was feeling like no one was listening and fought back
Social media is an illusion
Think for yourself, draw your own conclusions
