Master P Rocks!
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

[thaMANSTA]
For nine-eight, yo!

[Verse 1 - thaMANSTA]
There's only two years left, and things are getting seedy
A lot of it has to do with this thing called the media
Your scope of the world, constricted by major networks
And what they transmit, dictated by political perks
You need to realize, open your eyes, and see the lies
Dan Rather's influence over you has grown to large in size
These days skepticism is a prerequisite
See that stuff in the toilet? The news is full of it
You need to flush your mind, gеt rid of that propaganda
Watch some local TV, you're not a Yankee, you're from Canada
That rеporter on the tube? She's just doing her job
Give her too much trust, and you'll be robbed
Of your innocence, separate the real from irrelevance
'Cause to the networks, only dollars make sense
To make you watch, they'll distort the whole story [Classified: "Yo!"]
I give you "racial tension", Hants East, in all its glory
[Verse 2: Classified]
What's with the paparazzi? It's got my mind straight in a daze
Watching Channel 26, seeing people die and shit
What's the drama for? We live our life, but what's it cause?
I don't want to be a stat, thinking "Can I deal with that?
Can I deal with life? Can I deal with things that I'll be living with?"
And watching TV doesn't help to get away from it
And on the paper side of it, what's wrong?
Death, crime, and robbery, that's what's going on
Can you tell me that it's any different?
It's all a state of mind, and this is why I rhyme
'Cause Class is all about bringing information....
[thaMANSTA: "...and I'm thaMANSTA, I provide interpretations!"

[Chorus x 4 - Chuck D sample]
"Ahhs and oohs is my kinda news!
Pop your tape in, put the car in cruise!"

[Verse 3 ]
Enough TV, head out the door, jump in your hooptie
You've got a wicked system, so blasting it? you gotta be
But you were in a hurry, forgot tapes for deck playing
Looks like you're gonna be going FM, or AM
Which one? There's not much difference in Haltown
Ones got shitty sound, the other's just shit with good sound
The only station with some realness: CKDU
But past the airport, there's no hope for you
The CHUM Group has an aural monopoly
ATV packages what you C100
Percent bullshit is what you're gonna find
They need some KIXX like country where the Sun FM don't shine
Give me a deck minus a tuner I'd be just as happy
I turn on the radio, all that comes out, is crappy
[Classified: "And Class, is all about bringing information..."]
...and I'm thaMANSTA, providing interpretations!
