Music: Tunde Adebimpe/Wilder Zoby/Jaleel Burton/Jahphet Landis
I was thinking 'bout my time in space
I was thinking 'bout the human race
In the age of tenderness and rage
Had me kicking through the end of days
From inside, I heard a message cry
Shining like mirrors in the sky
Said, "Get your head right and hold it high"
Said, "Look around now, babe"
You know you got that touch because you're
Magnetic
Dope synthesizer
You been down, but you're gonna get higher
Out of the skillet, doing loops in the fire
What they gonna do with a lightning rider?
Magnetic
Bolts in the air
Pure energy flying everywhere
Hot flash going straight through the fire
What they gonna do?
I was thinking 'bout my time in space
I was thinking 'bout the human race
In the age of tenderness and rage
Had me flipping for an extra page
From inside, I heard a message cry
Shining like mirrors in the sky
Get it together, kid, it's time to fly
Said, "Look around now"
You know you got that touch
Because you're
Magnetic
Dope synthesizer
You been down, but you're gonna get higher
Out of the skillet, doing loops in the fire
What they gonna do with a lightning rider?
Magnetic
Bolts in the air
Pure energy flying everywhere
Hot flash going straight through the fire
What they gonna do with a lightning rider?
Get down to basics
We're gonna crash your matrix
And whatcha gonna do about that?
Gonna get all y'all outta my life
Get down to basics
We're gonna crash your matrix
And how you gonna feel about that?
Why'd you wanna come like that for?
You know you're
Magnetic
Dope synthesizer
You been down, but you're gonna get higher
Out of the skillet, doing loops in the fire
What they gonna do with a lightning rider?
Magnetic
Bolts in the air
Pure energy flying everywhere
Hot flash going straight through the fire
What they gonna do with a lightning rider?
Magnetic
Dope synthesizer
You been down, but you're gonna get higher
Hot flash going straight through the fire
What they gonna do with a lightning rider?
