New "Sly Fox" song by Nas.

Lyrics after the flip...

Sly Fox Lyrics

[FOX New Archive Video Fotage]

[Intro]

So we look at what's going on -- this as an EXTREME aggression, um

I'm also hearing about it from EVERYWHERE!

It's-it's on the islands, it's on the continent, it's here: it's everywhere!

And this is, if you will, a WAR -- An all out assault by...

[Verse 1:NaS]

The sly fox

Cyclops

We locked

In the idiot box

The video slots

Broadcast

The Waco Davidian plots

They own YouTube, Myspace

When this ignorant shit gon' stop?

They monopolizing news

Your views

And the channel you choose

Propaganda

Visual cancer

The eye

In the sky

Number five

On the dial

secret agenda

Frequency antenna

Doctor mind bender

Remote control

soul

Controller

Your brain holder

Slave culture

Game's over

What's a Fox characteristic?

Slick shit

Sensin'

Misinformation

Pimp the station

Over stimulation

Reception

Deception

Comcast digital Satan

The Fox has a bushy tail

And Bush tells

Lies and Foxtrots

So I don't know what's real

[Chorus]

Watch what you watchin'

Fox keeps feeding us toxins

Stop sleeping

Start thinking

Outside of the box and

Unplug from The Matrix doctrine

But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'

Fox keeps feeding us toxins

Stop sleeping

Start thinking

Outside of the box and

Unplug from The Matrix doctrine

But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

[Verse 2:NaS]

The Fear Factor got you all rattled up

O' Reilly

Oh really?

No rally needed

I'll tie you up

Network for child predators, settin' 'em up

[Sly Fox Lyrics On www.elyricsworld.com ]

Myspace pimps, hoes, and sluts

Ya'll exploit rap culture, then ya'll flip on us

And you own the post, and ya'll shit on us

What is they net worth?

They gon' try to censor my next verse?

Throw 'em off the roof neck first

While I'm clicking my cursor

Reading blogs about the pressure they put on Universal

It gets worse while I'm clicking my mouse

While they kickin' my house

They figured us out

Why a nigga go south

It's either he caught a body, no sleep they watchin'!

I watch CBS

And I See B.S.!

Tryin' to track us down with GPS

Make a nigga wanna invest in PBS

[Chorus]

Watch what you watchin'

Fox keeps feeding us toxins

Stop sleeping

Start thinking

Outside of the box and

Unplug from The Matrix doctrine

But watch what you say Big Brother is watchin'

Watch what you watchin'

Fox keeps feeding us toxins

Stop sleeping

Start thinking

Outside of the box and

Unplug from The Matrix doctrine

But watch what you say Fox 5 is watchin'

[Verse 3:NaS]

They say I'm all about murder-murder and kill-kill

But what about Grindhouse and Kill Bill?

What about Cheney and Halliburton? (Halliburton?)

The backdoor deals

On oil fields

How's NaS the most violent person?

Ya'll don't know talent if it hit you

Bringin' up my criminal possession charges with a pistol (pistol)

I use Viacom

As my firearm

And let the lyrics split you

Who do you rely upon?

They shoot shells at Leviathan

I'm dealing with the higher form

Fuck if you care how I write a poem?

Only Fox that I love was the red one

Only black man that Fox loves is in jail or a dead one!

Red rum

Political bedlam

Don't let the hype into your eyes and ear drum

Murdoch on Fox

Not 18 with Barracas

And he hate Barack cause

He march with the marchers

[Outro]

I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth.

Not the biased truth

Not the liar's truth

But the highest truth

I will not be deceived

nor will I believe

In the Propaganda

I will not fall for the Okey-Doke

I am tuned-in

[NaS]

Watch, cause they're watching

Watch what you're watching

Better watch, cause they're watching

Watch what you're watching

Me-Me-Media

Misleading ya

Watch what you're watchin

Digg!

If you all don't know NAS you don't know anything about rap. Songs like One Mic, A Message To The Feds, Sincerely We The People, American Way, You A Ni**a Too, If I Ruled The World, and I Can to name a few are true revolutionary songs. That sh*t you listen to on the radio is exactly the garbage Nas is talking about. Dead Prez, Talib, Common, Kanye, and KRS1 are still rockin' it hard with lyrics that mean something. I'm buying Nas's new joint tomorrow!

What's funny is that Nas was featured on the homepage of (Newscorp owned) Myspace a couple of days ago. So I guess depending on the target demographic they're trying to market to, he's either scary and disgraceful or totally rad. Once again proving that Murdoch's ideology isn't political but $$$
