The animated lyric video features imagery that coincides perfectly with Nasir’s conscious wordplay. “The system will defeat itself/Nothing stays in a steady state, It overheats and melts/It only feeds itself, the system/Yo, I think it exists just because, like a pit eats its pups/Eats its own litter up/The system’s fucked, it’s corrupt/It’s for its own survival, it’s genocidal/No place or origin, no beginning cycle
Let’s occupy all streets/It’s crazy to think in the ’80s/I wanted minks, and a Benz to listen to Michael/And Grand Puba Maxwell,” raps Nas on the song.”
“Systematic” is available now on all digital platforms. The new Silicon Valley soundtrack is also available for pre-order and is set to impact on June 23 via Mass Appeal.
