Verse 1 – Nas]
I woke up in the matrix, newsfeed full of fake shit
Presidents bought like sneakers — corporate makeshift
Cameras on the corners, in your fridge, in your phone
Big Brother ain’t watchin’ — he livin’ in your home

Children glued to tablets, AI raisin’ the youth
Told ‘em truth is a threat, so they silence the truth
They lynchin' minds online now, blacked out facts
Get canceled for speakin' while the real racists relax

Same hustle, same struggle, just drones in the sky
Same ghettos, new metal, same motherfuckers die
My pen’s still a weapon, every bar a revolt
While they pray to the market, I spit scriptures in bolts

[Chorus – Eminem]
2025, still alive but I'm wired
World's on fire, post-truth empire
They feedin' us fear while they drainin' our veins
You think you’re free, bitch? You’re just a name in the mainframe

[Verse 2 – Eminem]
Yeah, 2025, and the planet’s still fucked
Gas masks in the schools and the water’s corrupt
I ain’t preachin’ peace — I’m scream-preachin’ with a blade
Tryin’ to carve a path through a nation that's been played
Kids addicted to pixels, porn and prescriptions
They don't teach ‘em shit ‘cept how to pick addictions
I scroll through my feed, it’s like World War Z
Every post another corpse of democracy

I ain't trustin’ shit — not cops, not banks
Not the woke, not the fake, not your thoughts or your thanks
I’ve been labeled the villain ‘cause I speak unfiltered
But fuck ‘em — they’d rather have rap stars neutered

I said what I said — now sue me or shoot me
I’m a martyr with bars, and y’all just groupies
From '99 to now, I've been raisin' hell
So when this world burns down, I’ll still give 'em hell

[Chorus – Eminem & Nas]
2025, still alive but I'm wired
World's on fire, post-truth empire
They feedin' us fear while they drainin' our veins
You think you’re free, bitch? You’re just a name in the mainframe

[Outro – Nas]
Keep your mind sharp, keep your soul clean…
This the age of lies in high-res screens
They monitor your dreams, even track your sins
But me and Em still fight back... with these pens
