[Interlude: Uncredited & George Clinton]

"In tonight's news, (Safe in cyberspace)^✦

20th century technology –

Has the computer^✦ age, scientists, and doctors^✦ gone too far?

(A tail ain't nothing^✦ but a long booty^✦

A booty^✦ ain’t nothin'^✦ but a butt)

Einstein,^✦ or Frankenstein?^✦

Dr. Scholl's, or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?

Are we digging^✦ into^✦ new ground

Or digging^✦ our own graves?^✦ Story^✦ at 11"

[Chorus: Andre 3000 & George Clinton]

Synthesizer^✦ (Data^✦ girls are horny^✦ tonight)^✦

Synthesizer^✦ (Fuzzy^✦ logic,^✦ their pubic^✦ virginity)^✦

Synthesizer^✦ (Ooooh oooh ooh)

[Verse 2: George Clinton]

Conceived under^✦ the influence of toxic^✦ wasted^✦ doctors^✦

Computer^✦ bugging^✦ debugging^✦ devices and vice versa^✦

And various viruses

Performing with laser^✦ light precision^✦ and verbal incision^✦

For a lingustic ballistic lobotomy^✦

Mind-fuckin' you, a psycho-sodomy^✦ of the medulla oblongata

Exit^✦ your mind down your spine and out your behind^✦

Fuck you

[Verse 3: André 3000 & George Clinton]

"Synthesizer,^✦ microwave me" (Cybersites are horny^✦ tonight)^✦

"Give me a drug so I can make seven^✦ babies"^✦

"Pump my breasts up, can you suck the fat up?"

(Fuzzy^✦ logic^✦ therapeutic country)

"Please make my life appear^✦ like ain't no such thing as bad luck"

(You wanted^✦ that? A holiday)

"My nose ain't right, think I need a new one"

Just take your pick – a yellow,^✦ red, a black, or a blue one

Virtual^✦ reality?^✦ Virtual^✦ bullshit!

(Cybersexy^✦ Wendy^✦ web walking^✦ in the nude)

Synthesizer^✦ preachers can reach you up in the pulpit^✦

Who a bitch?! (Digital^✦ good time)

Give me my gat so I can smoke this nigga^✦

Tell his momma^✦ not to cry (Digital^✦ good time)

Because they can clone him quicker

Than it took his daddy^✦ to make him

Niggas bitin'^✦ verbatim

(Said she'd lapdance^✦ on your laptop,^✦ while your laptops^✦ in your lap)

Thought provokin' records, radio^✦ never^✦ played dem

Instant, quick grits, new, improved (Digital^✦ good time)

Hurry,^✦ hurry,^✦ rush, rush, world on the move (Digital^✦ good time)

Marijuana illegal, but cigarettes cool?

I might look kinda^✦ funny,^✦ but I ain't no fool

(Cyber^✦ sexy^✦ Cindy^✦ web walking^✦ in the nude)

Now if you wanna^✦ synthesize,^✦ I empathize^✦ (Digital^✦ good time)

But if you synthesize,^✦ I will understand

(A tail ain't nothing^✦ but a long booty,^✦ ain’t nothin^✦ but a butt)

You'll synthesize^✦ a man

[Chorus: Andre 3000 & George Clinton]

Synthesizer^✦ (Data^✦ boys are horny^✦ tonight,^✦ SCSI with a booty^✦ in her face)

Synthesizer^✦ (Problem seeking, data^✦ searching, access sleeping)

Synthesizer^✦ (Gravity^✦ is safe in cyberspace)^✦

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

George Clinton utilizes rapid-fire alliteration and dense technical jargon to mirror the clinical, invasive nature of the technological 'lobotomy' described in the verse, effectively blending P-Funk surrealism with high-speed rhythmic precision.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse employs a high-density AAAA internal rhyme scheme focused on 'i' and 'us' phonemes (doctors/vice-versa/viruses/incision/precision), transitioning into a percussive 'o' sound for the final sequence.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Computer bugging debugging devices and vice versa"

① The literal act of troubleshooting software errors.② A recursive meta-commentary on the cyclical, self-destructive nature of technological dependency.

"Linguistic ballistic lobotomy"

① A surgical procedure to remove brain function.② An aggressive, high-speed rap performance designed to 'surgically' alter the listener's perspective through sheer verbal force.

"Einstein, or Frankenstein?"

① A reference to the pinnacle of human scientific achievement.② A warning about the dangers of creating technology that eventually turns on its creator.

Exceptional rhythmic density that matches the 'computer-age' theme

Aggressive and authoritative vocal delivery

Sophisticated vocabulary choice to heighten the 'medical' imagery

Final lines shift toward shock-value vulgarity which slightly undermines the established intellectual thematic trajectory

Dense internal rhyming occasionally sacrifices narrative clarity
