Take Me Higher
Rising Against Surveillance: Drones and Social Control
Lyrics
Yo Chuck, is that a drone up there man?
Chuck notices a drone and questions its presence.
They fly over, they fly over
Recognition of drones flying overhead.
Let me go get Timmy C's gun and shoot it out the fuckin' sky
Expressing frustration and a desire to confront the drone.
Look out when they all come down
A warning to be cautious when dealing with the repercussions of the drones.
Drones
Repeated warnings about the surveillance and targeting by drones.
They got you tapped, they got your phone
-Look out
-Drones
-They got ya trapped, they spot your home
-'Cause you're a target
-Drones
-They got you tapped, they got your phone
-Look out, uh
-Drones
-They got ya trapped, they spot your home
-'Cause you're a target
-I been one for years
The artist's defiance and fearlessness in the face of injustice and police brutality.
I'm never in fear
-Standin' up with my peers
-Making these tears, rain down like a monsoon
-Listen to the streets go boom
-Explosion (the motion)
-Fight the power and
-Over the fucking injustice I'm towerin'
-Bets no props
-When I drops these lyrics that'll make you sing "fuck the cops!"
-Drones
Continuation of the warnings about surveillance and targeting by drones.
They got you tapped, they got your phone
-Look out
-Drones
-They got ya trapped, they spot your home
-'Cause you're a target
-Drones
-They got you tapped, they got your phone
-Look out, uh
-Drones
-They got ya trapped, they spot your home
-'Cause you're a target
-This world gonna take you out
Highlighting the oppressive nature of the world and the influence of government-controlled drones.
Drones gonna shut your mouth
-Drones flyin' checkin' y'all out
-Drones in the hood like, wow
-Comin' from the airport hangar
-Hang ya heads certified bangers
-Branch of government gangsters
-Programmed by government strangers
-Take me higher
Repeated calls to be taken to a higher, possibly metaphorical, place.
Take me higher
-Take me higher
-Take me higher
-Take me higher
Continuation of the desire to be elevated to a higher state or understanding.
Take me higher
-Take me higher
-Take me higher
-Drones
Reiteration of the warnings and the sense of being targeted by drones.
They got you tapped, they got your phone
-Look out
-Drones
-They got ya trapped, they spot your home
-'Cause you're a target
-Drones
-They got you tapped, they got your phone
-Look out, uh
-Drones
-They got ya trapped, they spot your home
-'Cause you're a target
-Drones gonna take you out, yeah
Reinforcement that drones pose a threat and are present in various communities.
Drones gonna take you out, huh
-Drones gonna take you out, uh
-Drones in the hood like, wow, uh
