K.FLAY:

Not two weeks ago in the mail I got a ticket

From the Millbrae 5-0 listing crimes committed

Had a picture of a lady in a car that wasn't mine

But somehow identities became intertwined

Surveillance gone awry yo you got the wrong guy

She was the one who was running red lights

It's a set up, the government's corrupt

Now my State Farm's gonna go way up

MC LARS:

How you gonna run a stop light say it wasn't you?

Keeping civil peace is what my peeps and me are gonna do

You're flaunting all your liberties like they don't mean a thing

Writing angry raps just to try and make a scene

But the government don't like it when you talk mad trash

Standing at the rally with a fat green sash

Like "Free Iran", think you're Ayn Rand

So we'll trace your calls to deflate your evil plan

In the walls, in the floors, in the halls, in the doors

In the sky, in the car, late at night from afar

Why you gotta be in my space?

Just doing my job, keeping you safe

On the phone line, email we know every detail

ATM pin codes, all up in my Gmail

It's like hide and seek

Can't a girl get a little privacy?

K.FLAY:

Pentopticon they say it makes us safer from the Taliban

But what we gonna do when all the laws are gone

Lock so-called criminals in Azkaban, it goes on and on

Diaries unloosed from underneath all the mattresses

Strip search striped shirt, that's only the half of it

Slipshod shut close cases concocted

How they seal the deal?

Evidence Photoshopped it

MC LARS:

It's 187 on the independent rapper

Like Sister Souljah, hey let's ask her

Your words mean nothing, we're not scared of this

You're either down with us, or you're a terrorist

So don't believe the lies when you're in a state of war

And they're breaking down your door like it was 1984

There's no Oceanic double-speak contradiction because

Big Brother loves you and Orwell wrote fiction

In the walls, in the floors, in the halls, in the doors

In the sky, in the car, late at night from afar

Why you gotta be in my space?

Just doing my job, keeping you safe

On the phone line, email we know every detail

ATM pin codes, all up in my Gmail

It's like hide and seek

Can't a girl get a little privacy?

MC LARS:

Stand up, line up, let them know that you're here

Check in, check out, and fumigate your fear

Oh no, it's fine Uncle Sam's got your back

Forget the US troops shot dead in Iraq

CCTV everywhere all the time

Cause the FBI is even tapping your rhymes

Check philosophy from Socrates back in ancient Greece

There's no enlightenment if we can't increase the peace

K.FLAY:

No privacy they got us locked down

Satellites in the air spy cams on the ground

Every village, every city, every town

Tracking all our moves like a bloodhound

Yeah we're f**d as Huxley predicted

Snapping pics, falsely convicted, innocents interdicted

Kegs and wires similarly tapped

No way to get your ass off the map

In the walls, in the floors, in the halls, in the doors

In the sky, in the car, late at night from afar

Why you gotta be in my space?

Just doing my job, keeping you safe

On the phone line, email we know every detail

ATM pin codes, all up in my Gmail

It's like hide and seek

Can't a girl get a little privacy?
