Текст: Ice Cube. I Am the West. Man vs Machine.

[Intro:]
Yo, we in a fight for our lives
we in a fight for our lives
and the trick thing about it
i don?t know if we can win
and what?s sad? i don?t thing 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? dinner so i got to ask bob
bob got a job but it?s done by a robot
no lunch breaks so it could do a whole lot
more than a human being and it?s European,
ran by a Korean, American,
so there I am, surrounded by aluminum
there?s no way you can run,
there?s no way you can be,
it?s just and me, versus modern day machinery

[Chorus x2:]
it?s man vs machine baby
my head?s in the guillotine baby
it might take it off clean baby
automated dreams it was man vs machine baby

[Verse 2:]

I?m a fly caught in the web
a fish stuck in the internet
don?t they know i?m a deathly catch?
eat this meat, every bite so full of stress
so what can I say to you?
i?m highly relatable and biodegradable
i thought we was unfadeable
slaves to machinery, is that the way to go?
i don?t need you to fuck 24/7
i guess that computer love
i don?t need you to love
human contact ain?t what it used to was

[Chorus x2:]
it?s man vs machine baby
my head?s in the guillotine baby
it might take it off clean baby
automated dreams it was man vs machine baby

[Outro x2:]
the whole world is automated
it need to be investigated
when people are eliminated
what we supposed to do when its time to feed all the babies?
