From Gorillas To Cyborgs
Yeah.
55 million BC to 2012 AD.
The African jungle.
True story.
Never been the fighter type, rather let the tigers fight
I be in the trees with the gorillas and we lightin' pipes
Hands upon our chins 'cause we're concentrating
Contemplating conquering this entire continent like it's complicated
Yeah right, that's hardly a fair fight
We only travel in packs, my squad is airtight
Like, this is our watering hole, you don't belong here
We the real killers, the illa gorilla warfare
You throwin' down? We level ya to the ground
The only mammals with brains that's heavier than a pound
When everyone is around, we demonstrated our social skills
Go and kill in any forest patch or an open field
Not because we harder, we smarter than all our competition
The wooly mammoth couldn't even topple our position
First to advance, man it ain't a surprise
Look at this cranium size and the crazy brain that's inside
You are not alone
I'm right here beside you
And I am here to move you
Walked into the African jungle and built a music hall
Hopped on stage and I screamed, "I am here to move you all!
Throw ya ape hands up!"
They used to walk on all fours, 'till they came to my show and I made 'em stand up
A standin' ovation for every single rhyme said
Yes, I'm the reason they started usin' their hind legs
Yes, I'm the reason gorillas started to walk around
And my music finally gave 'em something to talk about
Equipped with a vocal cord, think of all the open doors
History to be recorded, a planet to go explore
But right now, yo we rather would play
So gather ya favorite drums out of the cave, we havin' a rave
And I promise ain't no stoppin' us now
We hoppin' around in a mosh pit and stompin' the ground
So we dance around the fire and we let the music speak through
Maybe smoke some weed, too, the original EZOO
You are not alone
I'm right here beside you
And I am here to move you
Yao! I've been the catalyst for this planet's inhabitants
And now we actin' like evolution was just an accident?
'Cause when your fire isn't strong
A million dollar bill is only worth the value of the paper that it's printed on
Luckily I came along and protected villages
Hopped inside of a hovercraft and built pyramids
You ever seen Egyptian paintings on the walls of ancient caves?
Tell me that's not a blatant claim that a spaceship came
And used to inspire aviation that was later made
Even back then I was givin' the world "Airplanes"
Obviously this story is not historical
Look at the album art and you'll see how it's metaphorical
When times were horrible, and the planet was in its grayest weather
Music was the reason people came together
So if apes can learn that from a human of the future
Imagine what y'all could learn from a futuristic computer
Hello, I am Kinetics, I am a computer
I am here to move you
What's going on? I am insane
You are gonna change
Hello, I am Kinetics, I am a computer
I am here to move you
What's going on? I am insane
You are gonna change
(You are not alone…)

K-1L, welcome to Planet Earth. The year is 1986, and you have been successfully uploaded into a human body.
Although your body is that of a human, your mind is still that of a computer consciousness. This consciousness has been uploaded into your new human brain via a stream of binary code sent from the Mothership. Because your consciousness has traveled through both space and time to reach Planet Earth, you may be experiencing slight confusion and memory loss. The purpose of this transmission is to review your mission objective in order to jog your memory and confirm that you are capable of proceeding. At the end of this transmission, you will make that confirmation.
Debriefing:
You are not human. You have been sent here from another world – the Mothership – inhabited by a life form far more technologically advanced than Earth's humans. So advanced that, on the Mothership, living things have found the technology to mimic, recreate and modify their biological bodies, essentially transcending their natural bodies and existing as a race of computer consciousnesses.
Recently, it has come to the attention of the scientific community on the Mothership that Planet Earth is on the brink of destruction and collapse. Militaristic confrontation, overconsumption, pollution and general apathy threaten the future of humanity. On the Mothership, recognizing glimpses of our younger selves in the Earthlings, we have decided to lend a helping hand to Planet Earth in order to incite a change in the moral fiber of mankind and thus alter its future path.
After much debate, scientists, anthropologists and historians on the Mothership concluded that sending members of our race to Planet Earth would be too dangerous: humans wouldn't know how to react to the presence of an alien life form on their planet. They would feel threatened by our superior technology and skeptical of our benevolent intentions, and may try to resist our assistance. Thus, we’ve determined the best way to help human society is to infiltrate it so that our presence on Planet Earth is undetected. That is why we have sent a team of ambassadors to Planet Earth and have uploaded their consciousnesses into the minds of various humans. The transfer of a consciousness from the Mothership to Planet Earth requires an advanced satellite positioned in Earth's close proximity to beam binary code into a target human brain. In order for that satellite to breach the close proximity range of Earth without being detected by human radar, we had to plant it on Halley's Comet and schedule the file transfer for the next possible moment of Halley's Comet nearing Earth: the human year, 1986.
The ambassadors chosen for this mission were sent into human bodies that were all statistically predicted to cross paths in their Earth lifetime and launch intertwining careers based on shared interests. You are one of those ambassadors. Expect to find others like you.
Once you find the other computers on Planet Earth, the message you are required to implant into the human moral fiber is one of community and cooperation. If the six continents of life on Planet Earth came together and enacted a global platform of cooperation, we believe that human society as a whole could find the capability and motivation to vanquish the issues mentioned above – such as potential nuclear warfare. The vessel through which you will promote this message of community is MUSIC, a form of persuasion with the potential to move millions of people. The three key pillars of the message you must relay to humans are: YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE…YOU COULD SAVE US ALL…and…YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

As you read this sentence, computer programs embedded into your consciousness are detecting your brain activity and sending a signal back to the Mothership, confirming that your consciousness is intact and fully capable of carrying out your mission moving forward.
|/|//_CONFIRMATION: SENT///
In a moment, your memory will be erased in order to preserve your human cover. However, sometimes you may still feel like a robot or cyborg – due to the fact that your human body is communicating with and reacting to a computerized consciousness. Perhaps you will use these strange instincts to your advantage. Do not be alarmed, and good luck on your mission.
