Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y’all to meet Deltron Zero, hero, not no small feat
its all heat in this day and age,
I rage your grave,
anything it takes to save the day
Nueromancer, perfect blend of technology and magic
use my rappin so you all could see the hazards
Plus entertainment where many are brainless
we cultivated the lost art of study and I brought a buddy
Automator harder slayer fascinating combinations
cyber warlords are activating abominations
arm a nation with hatred we ain’t with that
we high-tech archeologists searching for knickknacks
composing musical stimpacks that impacts the song
crack the motor what you think you rappin for?
I used to be a mech soldier but I didn’t respect orders
I had to step forward, tell them this ain’t for us
living in a post-apocalyptic world morbid and horrid
the secrets of the past they horded
now we just boarded on a futuristic spacecraft
no mistakes black its our music we must take back

Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y’all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator

Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y’all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator

Yo its three thousand thirty,
I want y’all to meet Deltron Zero, and Automator

Del I’m feeling like a “Ghost In A Shell”
I wrote this in jail playing host to a cell
for the pure verbal, they said my sentence was equivalent to
murder
just another hurdle, I bounced through a portal
I knew they had the mind state of mere mortals
my ears morphed to receptors to catch ya
every word about gravity control
and the families they hold for handsome ransoms
on the run with a handgun blast bioforms, I am more
than a planet wide manhunt with cannons
will make me abandon my foolish plan of uprising
f**k dying I hijack a mech
controlling with my magical chance so battle advance
through centuries a hip hop legacy, mega speed
hyper warp to Automator’s crib and light the torch

The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
