Systematic (有条不紊) (Explicit) - DJ Shadow/Nas

Written by：Josh Davis/Nasir Jones

The system will defeat itself

Nothing stays in a steady state it overheats and melts

It only feeds itself the system

Yo I think it exists just because like a pit eats

It's pups eats it's own litter up

The system's f**ked it's corrupt

As for it's own survival it's genocidal

No place and origin no beginnin' cycle

Let's occupy our streets

It's crazy to think in the eighties

I wanted minks and a benz to listen to michael

And grand puba maxwell that gets casual

I'm sippin' on drinks

And nike sweatsuits and gucci links

I'm like a russian mafia I'm mad low

In the shadows pick up the shadow

DJ shadow a rose and thrown blows

Can't see me but nas movin' the fastest

I'm a 3D movie no need of glasses

I'm a 3D movie no need of glasses

Hold your breath for fifteen seconds

Close your eyes cover your ears do not listen

Try to feel what I'm sayin'

Should make you feel is my new expression

Hold your breath for fifteen seconds

Close your eyes cover your ears do not listen

Try to feel what I'm sayin'

Should make you feel is my new expression

Systematic

Systematic

I wish I was a arms dealer to sale illegal arms in the hood

No backup check put cash in my palms and we good

Lack of respect get you to fall where you stood

Mathematics is God's language it s in my blood

Art music letters and numbers

I'm a vessel I'm humble

Meetin' start ups I invest if I want to

Transformin' global markets with all of my partners

Methodical corporate culture straight out the projects

What's the ingredients to the realest

Place two cups of cranberry in the skillet

A half a cup of water add some henny

Let it cook for eight minutes but you ain't finished

Let it simmer to the cranberry pop a little

Keep stirrin' sip it it's art like keith haring

It gets in your blood you start to feel what I'm feelin'

Don't listen just try to feel what I'm feelin'

Hold your breath for fifteen seconds

Close your eyes cover your ears do not listen

Try to feel what I'm sayin'

Should make you feel is my new expression

Hold your breath for fifteen seconds

Close your eyes cover your ears do not listen

Try to feel what I'm sayin'

Should make you feel is my new expression

Systematic uh

Systematic

Remember the past

Cherish the present and work for tomorrow

Time is now

Time time time time time time time time time time

Time time is now
