Song lyrics

I'm livin' in the 21st century
Doin' something mean to it,
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it,
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it,
I guess every superhero need his theme music

No one man should have all that power,
The clock's tickin', I just count the hours,
Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power
(21st century schizoid man)

The system broken, the schools closed,
The prisons open,
We ain't got nothin' to lose, ma'f-cka, we rollin'
Huh? Ma'f-cka, we rollin'
With some light-skinned girls
And some Kelly Rowlands,
In this white man's world, we the ones chosen,
So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin'
Huh? I see you in the mornin'
This is way too much, I need a moment

No one man should have all that power
The clock's tickin', I just count the hours,
Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power
‘Til then f-ck that the world's ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

F-ck SNL and the whole cast,
Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass,
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole,
I'm an asshole? You n-ggas got jokes
You short-minded n-ggas' thoughts is Napoleon,
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in,
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic,
He know, he so f-ckin' gifted,
I just needed time alone with my own thoughts,
Got treasures in my mind
But couldn't open up my own vault,
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts,
Reality is catchin' up with me,
Takin' my inner child, I'm fighting for it custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my diamond-encrusted piece

N-gga, no one man should have all that power
The clock's tickin', I just count the hours,
Stop trippin', I'm trippin' off the power,
‘Til then, f-ck that, the world's ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

Colin Powell, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f-ckin' nation
They say I was the obamanation of Obama's nation,
Well, that's a pretty bad way to start the conversation,
At the end of day, goddammit, I'm killin' this sh-t
I know damn well y'all feelin' this sh-t
I don't need yo' p-ssy, bitch, I'm on my own d-ck,
I ain't gotta power trip, who you goin' home with?
How ‘Ye doin'? I'm survivin'
I was drinkin' earlier, now I'm drivin'
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin'?
I got the power, make yo' life so excitin'

Now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin' out the window,
Lettin' everything go,
Lettin' everything go

N-now-now this would be a beautiful death
Jumpin' out the window,
Lettin' everything go,
Lettin' everything go

You got the power to let power go
