Man Vs Machine

Ice Cube

[Intro:]

Yo, we in a fight for our lives

we in a fight for our lives

and the trick thing about it

i don't know if we can win

and what's sad? i don't thing we WANNA win

[Verse 1:]

can you help me? a nigga need a job

i'm desperate, for some corn on the cob

i'm helpless, will i have to steal and rob?

no black? dinner so i got to ask bob

bob got a job but it's done by a robot

no lunch breaks so it could do a whole lot

more than a human being and it's European,

ran by a Korean, American,

so there I am, surrounded by aluminum

there's no way you can run,

there's no way you can be,

it's just and me, versus modern day machinery

[Chorus x2:]

it's man vs machine baby

my head's in the guillotine baby

it might take it off clean baby

automated dreams it was man vs machine baby

[Verse 2:]

I'm a fly caught in the web

a fish stuck in the internet

don't they know i'm a deathly catch?

eat this meat, every bite so full of stress

so what can I say to you?

i'm highly relatable and biodegradable

i thought we was unfadeable

slaves to machinery, is that the way to go?

i don't need you to fuck 24/7

i guess that computer love

i don't need you to love

human contact ain't what it used to was

[Chorus x2:]

it's man vs machine baby

my head's in the guillotine baby

it might take it off clean baby

automated dreams it was man vs machine baby

[Outro x2:]

the whole world is automated

it need to be investigated

when people are eliminated

what we supposed to do when its time to feed all the babies?
