GWII: The Bad News 1St



What if history was a lie – besides – who’s checking the facts?
What if school was just a tool used to control and entrap?
What if the map was upside down and the grid wasn’t correct?
What if the first president was black would you begin to suspect…
That the Government’s a farce and they been tellin’ us lies?
And the threat is not the terrorist or the Communist spies
But the apparent disappearance of your obvious rights!
I mean it’s obvious, right? We the audiences like the loftier life
...So we bargain with these lobbyists regardless the price
In the name of Christ or organized religion
We’ll sacrifice our lives for their prophetic visions?
We just part of the system, we just some peas in the pod!
So enamored by the glamour that we’re missin’ the plot!
And the camera is not candid it’s just harder to spot!
Plus the answer to your cancer is their idiot box!
You can believe it or not, but that shit be eatin’ ya thoughts
Suggestive thinkin' is the reason why you listen to FOX!!!
Who’s agenda is contingent on a company stock
You’ll be investing in deception if you thinkin’ it’s NOT!!!
Cause the bankers run the anchors and the studios bought
And CNN’s the same, they’re both part of the game
There’s not a difference in intentions just a difference in names
And their positions aren’t convincin’ if you usin’ your brain
They use pain and distress to gauge the media's depth
Cause propaganda isn’t dead they’re just fakin’ it's death
-- Self Activate


Break down their goverment walls,they try to infraltrate our telly visions,
but remember it's us their tryin to fool,their outspoken with their decisions,
ask a ? they talk of secret service,keepin secrets from ppl they should serve,
delve deeper n they hide their guise,where the truth will not be seen or heard
Secrets they protect from ppl's view,under no obligation to answer to me or you,
Know the score,prostitutes are less shameful than theses goverment whores,
cuz when they sell their flesh it's fair-trade,but with goverments ya get played,
and here's how i'm gonna show you now,you elect them to run a state,
they set taxes the poor get baked,the rich with subsidises n open hands take,
even a thief will do it himself for real,where business men get goverment to steal,
and the select few elect who,would steal money.from other ppl for them not you,
representatives show no love they hit,voters turn blind for crimes they commit,
I could,leave here for a tour in space,but on return it's the same old place,
politician beats drums the poor wither in disgrace,hard lifes etched in their face,
my blood so mad it feels like coagulateing,sitting wondering n contemplating,
can't face truth it knows no regulation,group of senators can't pass legislation,
n demonstrations don't bring integration, when human respect is disintegrating,
my teeth i'm grinding and grating,because I feel this earth is just to frustrating!

Ho Ho Ho, merry Christmas... Your gift for this year? KNOWLEDGE AND SELF CONSCIENCE BARZ.

Quote What if history was a lie – besides – who’s checking the facts?What if school was just a tool used to control and entrap?

What if the first president was black would you begin to suspect…

Solid as fuck opener. I loved the play on history/his story and questioning of certain events. I guess history is written by the victor.

Quote That the Government’s a farce and they been tellin’ us lies?And the threat is not the terrorist or the Communist spies
But the apparent disappearance of your obvious rights!
I mean it’s obvious, right? We the audiences like the loftier life
...So we bargain with these lobbyists regardless the price

Bolded line is facts, but why don't we do anything about it? I always thought the government was elected by the people for the people... But the people lost vision of their rights, I guess.

Quote In the name of Christ or organized religionWe’ll sacrifice our lives for their prophetic visions?
We just part of the system, we just some peas in the pod!
So enamored by the glamour that we’re missin’ the plot!
And the camera is not candid it’s just harder to spot!

Oh man, this part is fire. I absolutely love the glamour/camera line. Very descriptive and smart.

Quote You can believe it or not, but that shit be eatin’ ya thoughtsSuggestive thinkin' is the reason why you listen to FOX!!!

If its on FOX it must be true. Same goes for CNN, BBC etc. Barz.

Quote Who’s agenda is contingent on a company stockYou’ll be investing in deception if you thinkin’ it’s NOT!!!
Cause the bankers run the anchors and the studios bought
And CNN’s the same, they’re both part of the game

Haaaa, toldcha about CNN. "THEY'RE LIE-ERS" -Dj Khaled. Metaphors on point, man.

Quote There’s not a difference in intentions just a difference in namesAnd their positions aren’t convincin’ if you usin’ your brain
They use pain and distress to gauge the media's depth
Cause propaganda isn’t dead they’re just fakin’ it's death

That last line is clever as hell. Propaganda; false or exaggerated statements spread to influence a political cause. So, they convince us that propaganda is dead by spreading propaganda that propaganda is dead. I like what you did there.
-----

Quote Break down their goverment walls,they try to infraltrate our telly visions,but remember it's us their tryin to fool,their outspoken with their decisions,

Telly visions -> visions gained from the telly / television... I like that. Corrupting our simple and fragile minds with more television programming. As the homie Eddie Griffin once said. "Television; They're telling us visually that we're being programmed". Nice, Crim.

Quote ask a ? they talk of secret service,keepin secrets from ppl they should serve,delve deeper n they hide their guise,where the truth will not be seen or heard 

This I didn't catch. Ask a question mark? I liked the second line, though.

Quote Secrets they protect from ppl's view,under no obligation to answer to me or you,Know the score,prostitutes are less shameful than theses goverment whores,
cuz when they sell their flesh it's fair-trade,but with goverments ya get played,
and here's how i'm gonna show you now,you elect them to run a state,
they set taxes the poor get baked,the rich with subsidises n open hands take,

Here you basically described modern day governments infiltrated by bankers and multinationals. Under no condition will they spare a thought about us peasants. Well, apart from when it gains them more wealth.

Quote even a thief will do it himself for real,where business men get goverment to steal,and the select few elect who,would steal money.from other ppl for them not you,
representatives show no love they hit,voters turn blind for crimes they commit,

Very weird transition of flow... but somehow it works. The content is very true, too.

Quote I could,leave here for a tour in space,but on return it's the same old place,politician beats drums the poor wither in disgrace,hard lifes etched in their face,
my blood so mad it feels like coagulateing,sitting wondering n contemplating,
can't face truth it knows no regulation,group of senators can't pass legislation,
n demonstrations don't bring integration, when human respect is disintegrating,
my teeth i'm grinding and grating,because I feel this earth is just to frustrating!

This was definitely the highlight of your verse, Crim. Extremely solid closer, bomb ass flow and I like how you switched the narrative at the very end. It added a touch of helplessness but also strength in awareness at the same time.


Overall: This was definitely worth the wait. I felt that the both of you bodybagged this topic and I love the similar views on the currents affairs of on Gaia. 5 STAR STUNNA.

Great way to open up leaves u thinking an get ypure mind ready to except some real shit youre about to speak on


What if the map was upside down and the grid wasn’t correct?
What if the first president was black would you begin to suspect…

That the Government’s a farce and they been tellin’ us lies?
And the threat is not the terrorist or the Communist spies
But the apparent disappearance of your obvious rights!
I mean it’s obvious, right? We the audiences like the loftier life
Loved this segment flow was onpoint an u touched on some deep shit

...So we bargain with these lobbyists regardless the price
In the name of Christ or organized religion
We’ll sacrifice our lives for their prophetic visions?
We just part of the system, we just some peas in the pod!
So enamored by the glamour that we’re missin’ the plot!
And the camera is not candid it’s just harder to spot!
Plus the answer to your cancer is their idiot box!
You can believe it or not, but that shit be eatin’ ya thoughts
Suggestive thinkin' is the reason why you listen to FOX!!!
Who’s agenda is contingent on a company stock
You’ll be investing in deception if you thinkin’ it’s NOT!!!
Cause the bankers run the anchors and the studios bought

And their positions aren’t convincin’ if you usin’ your brain
They use pain and distress to gauge the media's depth
Cause propaganda isn’t dead they’re just fakin’ it's death
The content u packed in this really blew me away an u did it in a way not to sacrifice youre flow props for a solid drop self u continue to drop top notch shit keep it up homie

Break down their goverment walls,they try to infraltrate our telly visions,
but remember it's us their tryin to fool,their outspoken with their decisions,
ask a ? they talk of secret service,keepin secrets from ppl they should serve,
delve deeper n they hide their guise,where the truth will not be seen or heard
Again u opened ypure verse up well here crim this was pretty much flawless some of ypure best work ive seem to date flows nice an it leaves u thinking an questioning youre own government i love this type of topic it always catches my attention

Secrets they protect from ppl's view,under no obligation to answer to me or you,
Know the score,prostitutes are less shameful than theses goverment whores,
U kinda lost ypure flow here content is there but u sacrificed youre flow

cuz when they sell their flesh it's fair-trade,but with goverments ya get played,
and here's how i'm gonna show you now,you elect them to run a state,
they set taxes the poor get baked,the rich with subsidises n open hands take,
Got youre flow back here good bounce back

even a thief will do it himself for real,where business men get goverment to steal,
and the select few elect who,would steal money.from other ppl for them not you,
representatives show no love they hit,voters turn blind for crimes they commit,
I could,leave here for a tour in space,but on return it's the same old place,
politician beats drums the poor wither in disgrace,hard lifes etched in their face,
my blood so mad it feels like coagulateing,sitting wondering n contemplating,
can't face truth it knows no regulation,group of senators can't pass legislation,
n demonstrations don't bring integration, when human respect is disintegrating,
my teeth i'm grinding and grating,because I feel this earth is just to frustrating!

Overall this was a decent drop from you crim ypu lost flow here an there but ypure content an story progression was spot on witch helps i think if you played with internals an multies a bit more you coulda connected it alot smoother either way good drop stay up
