LYRICS:
2.5 million years ago, a friend of mine
Made a tool from a stone and defended his tribe
It’s technology, sorry for the technical term
It’s a wheel, then a fire and the rest is a blur
Throw a theorized plot in the pot with applied science
Let it sit, I bet it streamlines your environs
What’s a resource local to the grotto
The method isn’t free until the mechanism follow
That’s technology, innovate a difference
A feat of engineering, a system made efficient
There isn’t a condition, complication, or revision
Where the answer ain’t to build a more sophisticated widget
Idget, tired of games, Bronze Age, Iron Age
Weaponry in stellar form, shelter finer by the day
Live stock and vegetables in rows behind the hideaway
Mesopotamia out the muhfuckin’ lion cage
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
You take a lever and a pulley and a winch and a wedge
You get a labyrinth of aqueducts and pyramid steps
Before the Jesus, Archimedes on that miracle tech
Year zero, you could feel the future rearing its head
Put a shoe on a horse, shoot a man with a gun
Steampower, bifocals, and mechanical funk
Manipulate electricity, no it can not be done
Yes it can, ain’t a dam that could cancel the flood
True to human curiosity, at the tree of knowledge
Pulling genies out of bottles, stealing from Leonardos
Plane train auto, hauling space age cargo
Bizarro technology, everyday is tomorrow
Telegraph, telephone, you could flirt with Doris
In Poughkeepsie from a cozy geodesic dome in Sydney
You can write a letter with no paper
You could fix anything with a laser
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
You could get a robot limb for your blown off limb,
Later on the same technology could automate your gig
As awesome as it is
Wait It gets awful, you could split a atom willy-nilly
If it’s energy that can be used for killing then it will be
It’s not about a better knife, It’s chemistry and genocide
And medicine for tempering the heck in the projector light
Landmines, agent orange, leaded gas, cigarettes
Cameras in your favorite corners, plastic in the wilderness
We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with
The machinery could eat us, we just really just love our buttons
Ummm… technology, focus on the other shit
3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip
You could buy a jet-ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet
T-E-C-H-N-O-L-O-G-Y, it’s the ultimate
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
If it’s out of the bag, then it’s out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat

Lyrics
Dave, whattup man?
It’s me
Umm.. just callin to see, if possible, if you have any
Time today or within the next couple of days
If, if, you’re in the studio.. or if you’re at home or car, whatever
That song.. that.. it’s called trying or something, Mase
Was tellin me that I needed to hear?
He said it was amazing
Whoo the way he was talkin.. man I wanna hear it
Am I just another lost in the pack?
We Horshack shit, you know, laugh it off
Years just blow by
My eyes stay fixed but the picture’s kinda outta focus
I cry a lot, but admit to it
Enjoyin life now, but I’ve been through it
Sometimes I wish that I can go back
No bills no kids just getting to’ back
I want a wife, I love women
How could I front like I don’t be in love wit em?
A lil man, that I can teach
A lil sand, but not the beach
I figure excess’ll only bring an excessive amount of fussin
So when I’m gone, make sure the head stone reads, “He did it for us”
I’m like your modern day Jesus
I cherish warm thoughts like a gray goose
And float soft kisses to my baby
(yo ain’t that Dave’s little girl?)
Yeah, respect her for that
She gon be somebody
Instead of somebody baby mama
You see young minds are now made of armor
I’m tryin to pop a hole in your Yankee cap
Absorb me
The skies over your head ain’t safe no more
And Hip Hop ain’t your home
And if it is you fuckin up the crib son
You make life look like I don’t wanna live one
You might as well hold your breath until you die in a
Corner somewhere bent over in the crevice
This God Theory overcomes the worst of weathers
As long as you willin’ to try, you on a good start homie
.. you on a good start.. see nigga Tryin
People are you ready?
Yes we’re ready
Are you really ready?
We wanna be ready
Ready for the change that may approach you?
Yes
Follow down the path that you supposed to?
Yes
People are you ready?
Yes we’re ready
Are you really ready to try?
We wanna try harder
You know mistakes are trials that we learn from?
Yes
In order to live life, you must earn one?
Yes
People are you ready?
Throughout my change to grow, Some of my people got left behind
They didn’t listen for the gun, as I leaped from off the line
Thirteen years deep in this marathon I’m runnin’
Paid dues and still got bills to pay
When I came back around the way
Old friends gave me dead eyes
And fake smiles, half wide
We were supposed to rid the world of danger
These days we nod heads and small talk like polite strangers
It’s natural to fall off, just land close to the tree
I’ll be there if they need me to be
And I know all my local shorties
Cause they all know who I am
And lately wanna flip grammar instead of grams
Like that’s the only choice they got
They tell me how they gonna shake up the game
But came to me to see if I could give em guidance for change
Shit y’all, I need guidance myself
And I chisel right words to make gems
Got fans around the world, but my girl’s not one of em
And my relationship’s a big question
Cause my career’s a clear hindrance to her progression
Said she needs a man and our kids need a father
I’m not at all ready to hear her say don’t bother
And break
And this I know I can’t take
But uhh
C. Smith said to hold on
My brother Luck said to hold on
My nigga Dave said to hold on
My nigga Mase said to hold on
Yo, Maseo, we need to hold on
Yo, y’all we need to hold on
People are you ready?
Yes we’re ready
What you wanna be?
We wanna be ready
Do you wanna lose hate for love?
Yes
Do you wanna see these gates above?
Yes
I said people are you ready?
Yes we’re ready
But, are you willing to try?
We wanna try harder
You really wanna carry some weight?
Yes
Are you ready to design your fate?
Yes
Yo, people are you ready?
Yes we’re ready
What you wanna be?
We wanna be ready
Yes
