I'm Seein' Robots Lyrics

Voice mail, pagers, these are the things that robots carry
To get they hair done, eyes made up
Difference effects to their bodies
Sometimes too many to even know the life of a robot

Yo, don't waste my time on the phone, girl I'm goin' to bed
That movie restaurant you need cash that game is dead
I pull your wig off, you step back, you have a tantrum
I hold your rent money, contacts I hold for ransom

Cut off your phone bill, Mercedes wrecked in the Mobil
That's on the real deal, your credit's off, how you feel?
Give me my meat back, now think back, you sing on four track
Your mother's callin', for WIC checks, she soundin' wack

I bought your first food, high class, you was rude
House with no heat on, with slippers on, you walkin' nude
Back with your girlfriends I cancel banks stop your shoppin'
You work with kneepads, you loose stiff on soul train poppin

Your head keep boppin', you face out, with purple tracin'
I put you out, we can end this at the gas station
Let's do this now
Not impressed, I'ma show you how

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein' robots, lah lah lah lah lah lah

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein' robots, lah lah lah lah lah lah

I'm seein' robots, passin by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
You drive in Hollywood, long hair, Buick Regal
License in California, ID's phony not illegal

Livin' with roommates, you camp out, with paper plates
Broke Panasonic speakers missin' playin' Puff and Mase
Clear up yo' acne, girl what yo, how you act B
Call police up, tell them what? How you tried to smack me

I'm movin' thorough on the freeway callin' you on three way
Watchin' my back got your friends all on instant replay
You say you married sewed your weave in, yo where's your ring at?
Interscope records got your demo girl, where you sing at?

Pull out your masters, your dat's, all you have is cats
Pet little turtles in your bedroom, enough for headroom
Usin' your restroom when, company come, that's your best room
I stay the dopest while you party hard, losin' focus

Starin' in mirrors combin' hair, with the kids on welfare
I watch your mailbox like Vietnam guerrilla warfare
That's not your real hair, rip credit cards, I don't care

Liposuction, Jenny Craig is yo' introduction
Volkswagen fog up, your dirty engine Boo smog up
You hit the malls and, with chip phones, makin calls
And I'm audi 5, yeah

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein' robots, lah lah lah lah lah lah

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein', goo goo gah gah, them ugly kids call me da da

Missin they father while you try to pawn the ring and phones and
You probably jonzin', gettin' greedy, eatin' at Tony Rhome's and
Stuffin' your mouth out with fat pigs, you smokin' cigs
Rip out your butt crack, no bras out, to fit your back

Skinny legs, trip on, you get your grub and rip on
The DJ spin the club is wack, yo they close at ten
They turned the lights on, I seen your mug, you looked bugged
Close your face, I see your rims, I know you freebase

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein' robots, lah lah lah lah lah lah

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein' robots, lah lah lah lah lah lah

I'm seein' robots, passin' by, everyday
(I'm seein' robots)
I'm seein' robots, lah lah lah lah lah lah

(I'm seein' robots)
All you model robots
With mechanical legs, fake hips, implants
Little chips in your arms

Body movement, metal metallic, unpure robots
(Little robots)
Stiff arms, kneecaps, oil
(R O B O T, R O B O T)
Metal, robots
(Little, go, go, romance, robots, little, go, go, romance, robots)

Lyrics provided by LyricsEver.com
An original member of New York's new-school pioneers the Ultramagnetic MC's, "Kool" Keith Thornton is best known as a solo rapper. His signature style is stream-of-consciousness lyrical flow and complex vocals, two skills that earn him a perennial nod from the underground hip-hop community. The average Kool Keith album is peppered with bizarre, disjointed, even delusional or disassociated themes, concepts, and references. Nearly all of his albums incorporate a satirical dislike for more commercialized strains of hip-hop, as well as major record labels.

Thornton's early career and lyrics with the Ultramagnetic MC's often referenced his time as a patient of Bellevue, a psychiatric hospital, where he was treated for depression. With Ultramagnetic MC's, his abstract style developed, maturing in songs like Poppa Large. He was probably the first rapper to create an alter ego, and then create an alter ego for that alter ego (Kool Keith v. Moe Luv). After the Ultramagnetic MC's broke up, he expanded his resume, experimenting with new styles, including his self-described pornocore, known for pornographic imagery and brutal, abstract lyrics. Sex Style released in 1997, was the showcase for this genre.

Teaming up with Dan the Automator Nakamura under the name Dr. Octagon, Thornton again reinvented his image, recording the self-titled Dr. Octagon album (later reissued under the title Dr. Octagonecologyst) which was released by the English trip hop label Mo Wax. The album received critical acclaim, though mainly from sources outside the mainstream hip-hop community. The critical success of the album helped to open the accessibility of the underground hip hop scene to an appreciative audience. For Dan the Automator, this album laid the foundation for a burgeoning career and accolades as a producer; for Thornton, the success of Dr. Octagonecologyst seemed to put him in danger of being typecast as a "space and Mars" rapper, or an industry tool, which he throughout his career has looked down upon.

His style as a whole is characterized by non sequiturs and bizarre commentary, particularly anal, fecal and genital references. For example, "Chief administrator suck my oil," "Dr. Ludicrous I turn into an octopus," "All this jealousy shit is mayonnaise and celery shit," "Two drinks minimum, don't worry, we're maximum," etc. An instrumental version of the album, Instrumentalyst, showcased the production, became a rising success with most of the credit given to Dan the Automator and other collaborators, even though Thornton is credited on the LP with some production duties.
