DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an organochlorine insecticide which is a white, crystalline solid, tasteless, and almost odorless. Technical DDT has been formulated in almost every conceivable form including solutions in xylene or petroleum distillates, emulsifiable concentrates, water-wettable powders, granules, aerosols, smoke candles, and charges for vaporisers and lotions.
First synthesized in 1874, DDT's insecticidal properties were not discovered until 1939, and it was used with great success in the second half of World War II to control malaria and typhus among civilians and troops. The Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Müller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1948 "for his discovery of the high efficiency of DDT as a contact poison against several arthropods." After the war, DDT was made available for use as an agricultural insecticide, and soon its production and use skyrocketed.
In 1962, Silent Spring by American biologist Rachel Carson was published. The book catalogued the environmental impacts of the indiscriminate spraying of DDT in the US and questioned the logic of releasing large amounts of chemicals into the environment without fully understanding their effects on ecology or human health. The book suggested that DDT and other pesticides may cause cancer and that their agricultural use was a threat to wildlife, particularly birds. Its publication was one of the signature events in the birth of the environmental movement, and resulted in a large public outcry that eventually led to DDT being banned in the US in 1972. DDT was subsequently banned for agricultural use worldwide under the Stockholm Convention, but its limited use in disease vector control continues to this day and remains controversial.

Ahhh!
I look at rappers with maximun equation
X-ray vison invasion
Rhyme connects perfects insects
That crawl and try to bite my rhymes
Pesticides I'm the double D combine the T
Thats DDT
A chemical more to better to burn
Roaches, germs, mouse, lice, termites and percunious bugs
Or try thugs who perpotrate
Nothing within contaminate
Got my gloves on
So bring turtle doves on
Watch me pluck em and pick em
Stick em kick em and vic em
I see you're featherless
You got the birdy disease
Bite any rhymes that I have for ya
The poison is bad for ya stupid
You're equal measure to dirt dust grime and puss
You're just a rappin infection
Dirtlizin my section like a six-legga
Back to the beginning
Nowhere left to go
No-one is winning
Out there is darkness
Shadows all go home
The trees are all bowing their heads
A blank landscape face me
South stands the cross
South stands the cross
Sunset leaves the sky
The night closes in
It's time we were home
A beam of light passes
Through my mind
Then I see
A nothing landscape faces me
South stands the cross
South stands the cross
South stands
South stands
South stands the cross
South stands
South stands
South stands the cross
In our old positions
Starting once again
This time we might win
South stands the cross
South stands the cross
South stands the cross
Don't ask me what your life is for
Look around and you'll hear it
What you so faithfully ignore
Look around and you'll fear it
Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler
But he cracks at extreme temperature
Styrofoam, so fake
Choking on the flavor of the day
Styrofoam amazed
Everything eventually decays
You can blame, then you believe
Look around and you'll hear them
It's only synchronicity
Look around and you'll fear it
Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler
But he cracks at extreme temperature
Styrofoam, so fake
Choking on the flavor of the day
Styrofoam, amazed
Everyone eventually decays
How long, well how long, my God
Would I be, could I know what I am?
My shame is to wallow within my own
I would break all my vows for a chance to stop it
Styrofoam, so fake
Choking on the flavor of the day
Styrofoam, amazed
Everyone eventually decays
Styrofoamin', styrofoamin'
(Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler)
Styrofoamin', yeah
(Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler)
Styrofoamin', styrofoamin'
(Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler)
Styrofoamin', yeah
(Here is a man in a Styrofoam cooler)
And then it's gone
Little twitches got me wondering
Darling, as that fear await
You're stuttering, it must be something
You said, you said, you say
But I doubt you saw it coming
Where were you with all the answers?
You lie
(It suits the fame but I'm not listening)
You lie
(Mixed your words about your history)
Don't lie
(Sell your story, still you try to)
So lie
(Scare me down)
But I'm not buying
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
Naivety has taught you one thing
For killing lily blues for you
But darling has forgot to conceal
The truth, the truth, so true
But I doubt you saw it coming
Where were you with all the answers?
You lie
(It suits the fame but I'm not listening)
You lie
(Mixed your words about your history)
Don't lie
(Sell your story, still you try to)
So lie
(Scare me down)
But I'm not buying
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
But I sense you're after something
And I see through your scam
You cannot pull one over my eyes
'Cause I'm seeing it too, yes
Said you're grand fatal semantic
To tell the truth would breach your ethics
You lie
(It suits the fame but I'm not listening)
You lie
(Mixed your words about your history)
Don't lie
(Sell your story, still you try to)
So lie
(Scare me down)
But I'm not buying
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
I'm turning on my lie detector
