Hello World

from The Current Meta by Khemmeta

/

about

The Current Meta has arrived.
And the contemporary mighty shall despair!

lyrics

de-composting in the ocean
at the end of the world
headphones still knocking
either one of the Earls
whether Simmons or Stevens
dog the hustle’s eternal
how i move? ice cold.
what i spit is inferno

yo keep an eye on the climate
when i’m dropping the science
whatever popular lies is for sell
Scice isn’t buying
i’m just here tryna finance
a deconstruction of finance
and put Musk on a 1-way
rocket to Titan

keep caffeine on my system
these java scripts on the mic
and hear the double speak of snakes
because i’m fluent in python
my pen’s immutably defined
i really i write with a rifle
keep a HTM symbol code
describing my rivals

it goes me
ampersand G T semicolon you
have to laugh at weaklings
mentioning my crew
facts is facts, beefy ass
fibs are never true
Hello World! it’s Soul Hacker’s
partner, what it do?

the AI mascot
the mask off
no love for fash
1%ers or bad cops
redundant adjective sure
the bars i have to give?
pure B.A.Y.: that’s the acronym
meaning Better’n Alla Yours

i ain’t bragging it’s
objective observation
i don’t know which lies to tell
to try to placate any haters
so the real’s the only option
saucy soul: Jim Larkin
if you ask me if I’m dumbin down my
bars? not so often

i’m tryna plot on
repossessing the stocks of
these evil mother fuckers
pulling profit outta coffins
not morticians,
i’m talking bout the bosses
the extractors of our labor value
soon will be demolished

but today i’m just a cog
and still hiphoping on my downtime
out-rhyme every one of your favs
if you doubt my
ethic check my metrics
i got studies, graphs, wild slides
for visual learners
an edutainer gotta lob wide

nets to catch the scholars
with the game i’m here to offer
turn ya quarters into dollars
put that prosper in your coffers
feel me the mutual aid is profit
greed just leads to losses
when the sickled hammers fall
turn that office to a carcass

it’s blac bloc upon the city of
Hip-Hop and broken glass is not of
concern to me, i yearn to be
relinquished from the furnace we
keep burning in to fuel the
fireplace of the murderous thieves
they’d rob our nurseries
to cop new yachts to curse the seas, the vermin!

it’s absurd that we
permit the scourge they currently
keep pushing with their lackeys
but they can’t survive our thirst for freedom’s
definitely kinda stubborn
i’m perpetually on some other
and you noobs’ll have to share
if you tryna call Hip-Hop your lover

i got ya paramour screaming
"more", metamour ("... Meta more!")
when i came in she was
waiting on the floor
hold her down for me
while i’m playing out on tour
we got coinciding interests
ain’t no fun to keep ‘em bored, ya know?

it takes a score of y’all
to stack to my high score
i been busting since a decade before
i dropped the YOR in days of yore
and metahumans waiting for
the day i rearrange the form
again, won’t be waiting long
exquisite plays a dozen doors

to open brand new worlds
you never dreamed you could step into
you’d need about a hundred lives
and multiple continues
to reside on the same side of
the Venn Diagram that Khem do
but i freely hand out keys
to try to get you in the venue

where you hear the gems the Royal Them do (me!)
and also them too (we!)
the Allied Intel Conglomerate
saturating your mental
tell a friend to tell a friend
the game is over drop the pencils!

Khemmeta's music strives to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, or are shouted down when they do. His upcoming EP "When I Get To It" produced by Stephonathan (1/3 of both Pride City Purpose & Chedda Guap Boyz) is silly, nerdy, romantic, anti-nihilistic and defiant. He can't wait for you to get to it this [December]. ... more
