.7 Lyrics

Here we go
Look
You can roll the with crowd, I'ma call society's bluff
Hip hop is a political volcano trying to erupt
When you search my music on Google
Actual science comes up

These rappers get on the mic and just start lying and stuff
The industry's like the NBA's executives man
It's hard to get a fair shot with Donaghy reffing the game

But it's cool
I'ma kick back and kick it in school
While the rest of these cats turn on radios listen to fools
You can dig pretty deep, if you're given the tools
Just don't be all that surprised when you're given the news
All I really said was that your god didn't exist
And you got pissed enough to get out there
And make you a diss
People get sensitive about shit that they know is ridiculous
Like religion, astrology and political differences
Spy-ware on your computers that phone homebase
With information from your emails to your hard drive space
They know exactly what it takes just to get at you
Blood being spilled over diamonds and PS2's
They don't care they throw their Golems in with the Pikachu's
You gotta be some type of idiot to believe the news
Heavily trained soldiers with no war
No soil to defend no turf or home base
People still dying over beliefs and folklore
With closed doors that really only lead to no place
200 Miles to the gallon we got it
But major corporations bought up the licenses and shelved the product
Lately the FBI has been in your basement -
These are the symptoms of a type zero civilization
I'll do a song featuring the elusive Higgs Boson
Inside the Large Hadron Collider
In case something goes wrong
Just give me a call
Anywhere in the world I'll be there tomorrow
Whether you trying to smoke or you need me to brawl
Just don't think you're going to do something like I'm new to the pavement
I put in work and smoke that Buddha like a rude boy Jamaican
I keep on telling you
Letting you know how ruthless this game is
But you keep on insisting on being so stupid and famous
Rappers bragging loud how they smack hoes
But break down to tears when you tell them there's no heaven
Scientists out in the desert creating black holes
But on The Kardashev Scale?
They're only a point seven
Aliens would be stupid to visit us
Cause all we do is bicker, fuss, and fight over little stuff
Earth dying around us and we too busy to give a fuck
We are the inhabitants of Terra Firma, this is us

Soldiers don't get the credit just generals
Justice departments are just as corrupt as the criminals
Maybe if we were more direct instead of subliminal
The damages being caused to hip hop would be minimal
It's time to take it back
Yea

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

In 1964, Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev proposed “The Kardeshev Scale”; a system used to measure the technological ability of a civilization, based upon its ability to harness energy. Grey would go on to name his 3rd album after the system.

By Greydon’s calculations, we’re only 0.7 on the scale – we haven’t even reached type I status yet.

4 years later, Greydon wrote a pseudo-sequel, aptly titled “.8”.
