Ice Cube — Man vs. Machine

[Intro] Yo, we in a fight for our lives We in a fight for our lives And the trip thing about it I don't know if we can win And what's sad.. I don't think 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 business so I got to ask Bob Bob got a job but it's done by a robot No lunch break so it can do a whole lot Mo' than a human being, and it's European Ran by a Korean-American So there I am, surrounded by aluminum It's nowhere you can run It's nowhere you can be It's just you and me, versus modern day machinery [Hook: repeat 2X] It's man vs. machine, baby My head's in the guillotine, baby It might take it off clean, baby Automated dreams equals man vs. machine, baby [Verse 2] I'm a fly caught in a web A fish stuck in the Internet Don't they know I'm a deadly catch? Eat this meat, every bite so full of stress So what can I say to you? I'm highly relatable and bio-degradable I thought we was unfadeable Slaves to machinery, is that the way to go? I don't need you to fuck 24-7, I gets that computer love I don't need you to love Human contact, ain't what it used to was [Hook] It's man vs. machine, baby My head's in the guillotine, baby And it took it off clean, baby Automated dreams equals man vs. machine, baby [Outro: Repeat 2X] The whole world is automated It need to be investigated When people are eliminated What we 'posed to do when it's time to feed all the babies?
