Throughout the course of the album, rapper Kinetics discusses a broad range of issues, such as teen suicide ("Sign Language"), domestic abuse ("Hideous"), feelings of isolation and being an outcast ("Sometimes I Feel Like A Robot"), declining standards of hip-hop music ("I Am A Computer") and even touches upon the genocide of Native Americans, the use of weapons of mass destruction and overprescription in the pharmaceutical industry (in "You Could Save Us All").
