LYRICS:
2.5 million years ago, a friend of mine
Made a tool from a stone and defended his tribe
It’s technology, sorry for the technical term
It’s a wheel, then a fire and the rest is a blur
Throw a theorized plot in the pot with applied science
Let it sit, I bet it streamlines your environs
What’s a resource local to the grotto
The method isn’t free until the mechanism follow
That’s technology, innovate a difference
A feat of engineering, a system made efficient
There isn’t a condition, complication, or revision
Where the answer ain’t to build a more sophisticated widget
Idget, tired of games, Bronze Age, Iron Age
Weaponry in stellar form, shelter finer by the day
Live stock and vegetables in rows behind the hideaway
Mesopotamia out the muhfuckin' lion cage
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
You take a lever and a pulley and a winch and a wedge
You get a labyrinth of aqueducts and pyramid steps
Before the Jesus, Archimedes on that miracle tech
Year zero, you could feel the future rearing its head
Put a shoe on a horse, shoot a man with a gun
Steampower, bifocals, and mechanical funk
Manipulate electricity, no it can not be done
Yes it can, ain’t a dam that could cancel the flood
True to human curiosity, at the tree of knowledge
Pulling genies out of bottles, stealing from Leonardos
Plane train auto, hauling space age cargo
Bizarro technology, everyday is tomorrow
Telegraph, telephone, you could flirt with Doris
In Poughkeepsie from a cozy geodesic dome in Sydney
You can write a letter with no paper
You could fix anything with a laser
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
You could get a robot limb for your blown off limb,
Later on the same technology could automate your gig
As awesome as it is
Wait It gets awful, you could split a atom willy-nilly
If it’s energy that can be used for killing then it will be
It’s not about a better knife, It’s chemistry and genocide
And medicine for tempering the heck in the projector light
Landmines, agent orange, leaded gas, cigarettes
Cameras in your favorite corners, plastic in the wilderness
We can not be trusted with the stuff that we come up with
The machinery could eat us, we just really just love our buttons
Ummm... technology, focus on the other shit
3D-printed body parts, dehydrated onion dip
You could buy a jet-ski from a cell phone on a jumbo jet
T-E-C-H-N-O-L-O-G-Y, it’s the ultimate
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
If it's out of the bag, then it's out of bag
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat
Now that is a powerful cat

@@voyagerwitch I was thinking that since the song was called mindful solutionism it was about how we're pretty good at making stuff as a species.

Our goal should be to keep inventing, keep the onward march of technology going, but be mindful of what we create and to think hard about how we really want the world to work.

@@titusjames4912 god that's so funny. no, man. "mindful solutionism" means being mindful (careful, present) of how you go about solving problems. it's also meant to sound like some silicon valley business jargon garbage that wouldn't mean anything. also, it's not just the one verse. the whole song is extremely sarcastic and menacing. "if it's out of the bag, then it's out of the bag": after you put an idea or technology in the world, you can't control how it's used "yes it can; ain't a dam that could cancel the flood": it's a flood that can't be stopped. a cataclysm. "weaponry in stellar form, shelter finer by the day": juxtaposing modern convenience with the motherfucking death star "at the tree of knowledge, pulling genies out of bottles": getting knowledge that will destroy your innocence, getting the ability to grant wishes you can't predict the results of the whole song, not just the one verse, is about how technology isn't good and it's not evil either. it's POWERFUL, and power will be used.

Man i've always shat on A$AP for, from my point of view, blatantly ripping off Aesops' name. I mean, ok you got Aesop and ASAP. That's fine i guess. Then he made it into ASAP ROCKY Like dude That's not a coincedence. Hoping it was meant as an homage or something. Would be weird if it's a diss. I've learned to kinda let it go over the years, like it seemed like he was tryina cash off of of Aesops name and that. But now i see more like, ASAP is just a guy doing his best for the game and all that. Man has been putting in a lot of work and has become a lot more humble in recent years. I actually like ASAP now but i kinda do wanna ask him if he sees Aesop as like a source of inspiration or otherwise what the name is about. @@brianwalkosz9567 I mean i'm soon to be on the up and coming and was thinking of going by ''Robotron the funky sage'' as an homage to Deltron (and the other trons in the tron family, lol) Also things is pretty wild. I started writing raps a couple of weeks ago and now i got all these rappers kinda helping me out and i'm gonna have to write a huge list of people to thank in the songs i write. Seriously even DRAKE has kinda reached out for me and Eminem stole my bars from my graffiti so this is getting wild. I consider myself as something of an apprentice to Aesops work. Dude's been teaching me ever since i started listening and now things are clicking into place. Like i invented the ''marijuana = marry do ya wanna'' bar. Snoop even knows that the man lifted my rhymes. Unironically nuts. Dude owes me. Fr.

Aes is definitely not saying we never make anything productive. As that is blatantly untrue. This song is about the good and the bad of technology and its power to effect us as well as it's total inevitability because it's existence originates back to our roots as part of natural survival instinct and evolution. The cat is technology. It's out of the bag, it exists. There is no going back. "Ain't a dam that could cancel the flood" it's a solution we developed to certain problems, but it Is often a new problem of it's own, which in turn in overcome by another solution. The flood.

This makes me think of Hey Kirby, but not because it has a cat being a subject. It’s just like Hey Kirby IMO because the lyrics are super straight forward for Aes. Most songs have an amazing flow, but I have to really think and reflect to really start to get it (or at least think I’m getting it). This one was super straightforward though. It was awesome, but some part of me wants to hear those cryptic lyrics every time and have to think hard to figure them out even while words flow over the beat like water and I am jamming. Either way, I know every song can’t be a puzzle for dummies like me. I loved it, it was a super awesome listen. ❤️ ya! Please never stop!!

Aesop once again reminding us that he is the best there ever was and ever will be.

@poughkeepsieblue 10 ай бұрын

Aesop is years above any rapper in song plot theme. Mygod knows where hes going before he even plans to get there. His rhymes are like the art of war, he knows hes gonna strike and win. His secret is his passion for the art. He knows hes above game, and hes humble and modest about it, when hes not doing what hes good at. But when Ace is banging, Ace is showing out his skill, and what he makes is set in stone. Final product to be proud to walk away from.

Man. Aes is dropping some hard facts... This one is bound to be a head trip. I pre-ordered the vinyl this morning 🙌

Same! It wasn’t even a question. Between the single, the video, and the collectors edition vinyl I can tell the kid went hard with this one. Can’t wait for the full release!

Another classic, subtle, Easter egg...... Behind that rock, around the bend, a mental moment in time, but a landmark that ignores limits & time, just for those of us who were there too. Its the collective human, shared experiences. That's the best, the feeling of connection, thru art, cymatics & beats.
