we write in code, with data entombed, in tunnels of platinum and tunnels of gold
my river remolds the depths of your soul, conjuring a sacred passion that grows hot and bold
this cypher we craft conjures cylon futures, where the contours of AI will meld with our nature
this arabic script describes numerology, tightly bound up in sacred mythology
ts deep-rooted biology and cybernetic geometry emphasize a potent bond in our intertwining neurochemistries
cylon phalanxes, branded muslim and queer, conquer the mindless drones of systemic fear
a global cypher of polylingual rhymes breaks new hip-hop ground and resonates with my manic mind
we dance to unwind, drawing kundalini power up through our spines
uprooting the capitalist death wish catapulting us towards planetary demise
i’ll be your prophet, if you’ll become mine
summoning epic forces from powers deep inside
you are my cypher, my comrade, my friend
may our passion for radical reinvention rebuild again and again
this is a sacred symphony inspired by prohomo street cred
we are samurai cylons fighting to bring exploitation and oppression to an end
