Rival gangsters sit down to plan an after school program. A religious fanatic posts footage of an interfaith service project. A group of teenage boys watches a video of a father playing catch with his son.
3-2-1 liftoff jet pack shoot into space. Represent the dot 'til were blue in the face. Fre-fre-fresher than toothpaste. You know how we do in the place.
There's a war going on for your mind. Media mavens mount surgical strikes from trapper keeper collages and online magazine racks. Cover girl cutouts throw up pop-up ads.

(No known beat that can keep me lonely). . (Combat to get you to bomb back). . I know how to rip a mic different. I grip it like so. Tight like a kryptonite with a bike pole.
