One sign of seven for the day of malice
The time has come for us to pay our depths
Seek now try to find salvation for your soul
The final sign is soon to be seen
The son of mourning came
And stillness sang it's song
The birds have fallen down
And the desert froze to ice
The rivers will be filled with blood
And the sun will turn black
These are the signs you son
Son of mourning spawned
A stillborn child will soon arrive
The final sign is here
Your flesh, your blood
Is burnt, you're dead
The son of mourning came
And stillness sang it's song
The birds have fallen down
And the desert froze to ice
The rivers will be filled with blood
And the sun will turn black
These are the signs you son
Son of mourning spawned
In the eye of the beholder
I stirred in blindness
I look for evil
Searching for what's not there
What will it be
This is the final warning
Leave this disgusting shell
Now we know that this is it
Your body, your soul's hell
Here we are close to your eyes
Or are you too blind to see
Don't stay, release your blood
Cut yourself free
I have seen the war, the third and the last
The final act of the gods, they are fighting
Where there's no glory to win
Let the mayhem begin
Nothing but a big black hole
Reflection of a forgotten world cast shadows of unseen beauty
And a land once full of knowledge now lies in oblivion
Slaughter extermination and total destruction
That is the third war's introduction
By earthquake and thunder they ensemble
The gods' army is beginning to tremble
Terror spread across the world
Chaos came shortly after
To destroy the world so fine
Nothing but a big black hole
Reflection of a forgotten world cast shadows of unseen beauty
And a land once full of knowledge now lies in oblivion
Now it's just you and I
Playing our little game
Now one of us has to die
So the other can keep it's fame
This is the final warning
Leave this disgusting shell
Now we know that this is it
Your body, your soul's hell
Here we are close to your eyes
Or are you too blind to see
Don't stay, release your blood
Cut yourself free
Terror spread across the world
Chaos came shortly after
A thing have woken in your heart
The lust for hate the lust for blood
Your can not hide from things you feel
You're stuck eternal feelings
It came to you a dusk like this
It twist and turned like fire
In the realms of broken faith
You're stuck eternal feelings
What is going on, it's from another dimention
I'm the one I live inside your soul
Beware your soul keeps turning
Fade away like in a twilight zone
A distance not to be for real
The things you feel the things you know
They are from me and they are real
I am the one that turns you faith
Around and round eternaly
Eternal feelings! Eternal feelings!
What's going on, it's from another dimension
A thing have woken in your heart
The lust for hate and lust of blood
You can not hide from the things you feel
You're stuck eternal feelings
It came to you a dusk like this
It twist and turned like fire
In the realms of broken faith
You're stuck eternal feelings
Have tried to get rid of this
For a thousand years or so
There's nothing you can do
You're stuck eternal feelings
When you can't stop for death
He kindly stops for you
Don't try to run
Go ahead and cry you have done yours
Don't bother to come back here anymore
Do it, Crawl up and die
We are here, to wave you goodbye
See the Light of God
Now it will be destroyed
Hear the songs of Angels
It will disappear forever
Feel the lust of love
The lust has now vanished
Can you feel the trust
As you are betrayed
The destruction of the human race
The earth is just a memory
Nothing left here at all
What is this, this is Armageddon
See the light of god
Now it will be destroyed
Hear the songs of angels
It will disappear forever
Feel the lust of love
The lust has now vanished
Can you feel the trust
A day like this
Never to be seen
A raised fist
Right up your ass!
Burning leather
And bloody spikes
Wrath and thunder
Right up your ass
This is the day of revenge
This is the day of rock n' roll
Face the truth
We're here to stay
Within burning tunes
ASHES WILL BURN YOU DOWN
We show no mercy
We play it loud
Hard as hell
ASHES WILL BURN YOU DOWN
Don't try to stop us
We need no rights
This is our style
Rock n' roll to the bone
[Solo:] Play for us priest of the mountain king
This is the day of revenge
This is the day of rock n' roll
This is the day of revenge
This is the day of rock n' roll
Do you dare to face this, asshole?
Are you man enough for this?
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Suicidal sacrifice
For the unhallowed Christ
The red shall flow in pain
Slowly slicing up your vein
Betrayed by the Christianizer
You will burn in hell's fire
Step forth the creator
You are our traitor
You're the one that's not him
The unborn son of a fake he is
You should sit on the throne
The throne of grace
Your bride, she cried tears of love
The lust for love she couldn't have
Her wings are gone by lust in pain
And the angels wept
You will pay for your lies
Can you hear the cries?
Cries from your angels
Your work is done in vein
No more god will reign
Crush the holy spirit
Hate now control's your mind
Killing makes you blind
Soo you will die
Death, nothing will remain
They are dead or insane
Your kingdom is gone
You're the one that's not him
The unborn son of a fake he is
You should sit on the throne
The throne of grace
Your bride, she cried tears of love
The lust for love she couldn't have
Her wings are gone by lust in pain
And the angels wept
Suicidal sacrifice
For the unhallowed Christ
The red shall flow in pain
Slowly slicing up your vein
Betrayed by the Christianizer
You will burn in hell's fire
Step forth the creator
You are our traitor
You're the one that's not him
The unborn son of a fake he is
You should sit on the throne
The throne of grace
Your bride, she cried tears of love
The lust for love she couldn't have
Her wings are gone by lust in pain
And the angels wept
They wept tears in blood
Black blood of pain
They wept tears of love
[Verse 1]
I'm American Pie, get a slice
I'm what you call ice
I'm rested in my showcase for a real good price
About as much as a car, but not too much for a star
Some cat paid cash on me so we could look flashy at the bar
I draw too much attention, really, but this clown is really silly
He's like "I'm just a flosser babay" so come and get me
Chickens crowd around just to see
"I like your chain, can I chill with you in VIP?" ...stupid!
He got drunk, he got high
He got crunk with the guys
But if he woulda realized, he woulda watched for the hungry eyes
Now I, feel like someone's watching meee
And if I didnt know better, I'd think that they were plottin' (yo, stick this nig')
I'm hangin' from this cat's neck, making eye contact
With thugs that need 2 ID's to cash checks
Suddenly I see them whispering like they was in the huddle
While this fella's cuddled up with a chick, poppin' some bubbles
And its double trouble, cause he really don't care
And the worst thing you could be right now is unaware
I hang helplessly, waiting for the deal to go down
Thinking, "Damn, how did I ever get mixed up with this clown?", because I'm
[Chorus x2]
Ice, people spend they whole lives trying to chase me
Ice, people spend a good price just to replace me
Ice, I could get you play from the illest dimes, cause I'm
Ice, I could get you slain in the illest crimes
[Verse 2]
I'm on the dance floor swinging
With my brother, hes sitting on his hands all blingin', we mixing it up
Plus, he got Cris' in his cup, and its spilling on the floor
Grindin' on a shorty, plotting on her, looking to score
Cause hes a playa, and his neck is frosty like the Himalayas
Chickens like that, he spilled a drink on me, "I'll be right back"
He went into the bathroom to wipe me off
When two cats came in behind him and went right to the stalls
They nodded like they was saying "What up" but no words were spoken
They had they back to us, we couldn't see what they was holding
My owner was too drunk to even see what was happening
He turned around to leave, one cat gave him some dap and said
"Yo, your chain is hot, son, but I'm too broke to cock one
So gimme yours unless you really wanna catch a hot one"
I felt helpless, this cat was about to die because of me
That's when I felt his hand grab me, my owner yelled and
That nigga pulled out a weapon from his pelvis
And shot him one time, the bullet came out his spine
Over the music you could hear the shot *gunshot*, everybody started running
My owner, his body dropped next to the sink
The two thugs ran, because this wasn't part of the plan
He put me in his pocket, put his pistol back in his pants
And jumped in the whip, and where we went? No one knows
But he took away someone's soul, left his body dead cold, you know?
[Chorus x2]
[Outro]
[car starting, music playing in background]
Word..
Is that how it is out here now?
Niggaz trying to die for they chain now?
You stupid fucking..
(I think you killed him!)
So what?
I'm hungry out here man, I gotta eat
Ain't got time for all these clown niggaz thinking they sweet out here and shit
Guess we home free on this one though huh?
[siren]
Oh, no, no, no, not tonight! There's a cop
[Chorus]
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it
[Verse 1]
There ain't no way that you know what you gon' be doing day to day
You might get laid with strays, from some beef that was down the way
And you had nothing to do with it, and now you leaking fluids kid
Your arm blown out the socket, doctor telling you you losing it
Confusing it with movies, they still refuse to believe it
Till the truck jackknifes in front of you while you speeding and you can't weave it
Now you out of luck and out of choices, only seconds left
You gasp, but everything happens too fast to catch a second breath
Or a mother's life ambition, for her son to go to college
Shattered by a nameless bullet in a act of random violence
Perpetrated by his childhood friend he used to go outside with
Now he lay silent with a hole in his chest, and open eyelids
A blowout on a highway can probably make you late
But a blowout on a icy bridge can have you and your kids in the lake
And your family at your wake, praying over your casket
His son didnt make that trip, so I guess hes a lucky bastard
[Chorus]
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
Just as sure as the seasons change, everything happens for a reason
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
Any second your life could change, if its sunny you might get rain
[Verse 2]
There ain't no way around the fact, whether you white or brown or black
That any moment, any second, any day could be your last
I knew this cat thats very talented in basketball, in fact
He could have went to any college in the nation on his stats
Who would have known that after practice, in the gym next to the track
That he would suddenly collapse and perish from a heart attack
Or a healthy child that was born through the pain of maternal labor
To pass away in his sleep in his bed, three days later
And there ain't no explanation, even after investigation
God I guess wanted to keep him away from Satan's temptations
So he called him back, whats wrong with that? We won't see him tomorrow
Though we know hes in a better place we still live with the sorrow
People ask me how I'm feeling, what I'm doing, I'm chillin'
But before I say what I'ma do I tell em, "God willin'"
Cause I never know whats gonna happen, one day you're here
And the next day you're gone, and the cycle just keeps moving along
[Chorus]
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
Just as sure as the seasons change, everything happens for a reason
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
Any second your life could change, if its sunny you might get rain
[Verse 3]
Got off the bus with smiling faces, cause school was really live today
And now I'm trying to change my clothes so I can go outside and play
I went inside, my mom is heated, cause when she's mad, she don't smirk
I told a joke, she asked me if I brought home any homework
I said "Naw, its Friday, and after school its my day
And I want to go outside and spend the rest of it my way"
She said, not before you take out the trash and sweep the floor
I thought that wasn't fair cause that's one of my sister's chores
I'm sorta heated, cause I'm trying to get with my mans
Everything was set, my mom was the only wrench in my plans
We was going to the river today, steal boats and ride em
I jumped on my bike as quick as I can, to try to find em
I'm all pissed off at my moms, its about 5:21
By the time I make it down there I'm gonna miss all the fun
When I finally got there, its like 6 and a quarter
Shocked, as I watched the cops drag my friends' bodies out of the water
[Chorus]
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
Just as sure as the seasons change, everything happens for a reason
We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers
[Intro]
Whoa! Yeah, haha
Holla at ya boy man
This thing's about to get ugly man
It's that dude, ah
Ishues!
Its crazy right now (Crazy!)
The world is not ready (It's over baby!)
We taking over the whole industry right now!
But y'all don't hear me
Naw, y'all don't hear me
[Chorus]
Y'all don't hear me when I speak (What!)
You just listen to the beat (What!)
If you bouncin' and you don't know why, (What!)
Whylin' in the streets (What!)
Get the elbows in the air (What!)
Throw them bows like you don't care (What!)
Get crunk, play ball, its on up in here! (What! What! What! What!)
Y'all don't hear me when I speak (What!)
You just listen to the beat (What!)
If you noddin' and you don't know why (What!)
Whylin' in the streets (What!)
Got the hands up in the air (What!)
Throw them up like you don't care (What!)
Get liiiiiive, boy, cause its on up in here! (What! What! What! What!)
[Verse 1]
I'm the answer to your problems
If you listen to my album
Line me up, some shows I rock 'em
Call me Ishues cause I got 'em
Yo who shot him? It was me, I said
Damn, ol' nigga why you be like that? (Yeah)
I'm the one like Jet Li, test me
Lets see if you'll be right back
Where's my soldiers that'll ride with me, will die with me
Will go and mix live with me, will rock with me
Will go till one stops the beat, drop the beat, and make y'all pop the heat
This is gonna be a hit now, get down!
I don't rip shows, I rip towns
Get on any beat, switch styles (Wait a minute!)
Slow it down, make it all fit now
It's the I to the S, now gimme the H
U-E-S yes, y'all, niggaz you hate
Tri-State, hats off to the 'Nolia state
From the Empire State to the Golden Gate
(Ewww!) Yo' flow kinda nasty
That shit reminds me of a track meet
Problem is, your rhyme sounds like a trash heap
When I'm done, everybody in the stands gonna catch me!
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Wallow while you ridin'
Noddin' while you drivin'
Switch the styles so while I'm rhymin'
(Droppin' bombs!) Yo every time I see a
microphone I get it, spit it
Rip it, never quit it
Wicked with the way I flip it
Made it ma! I probably did it
Give it to you any way you want it
Darn it, you ain't on it
You get flaunted if you up
But don't get mad when you lay dormant
On the street with bloody clothes with holes
Make dough off muddy flows
Suppose your eyes could close at night
Do you know where you want to go?
I only show you how to live
Can't raise you though, I got a kid
I gotta give you nothing but the hottest with a ... twist
I'm dropping it from Jersey to the Dirty Dirty, yeah you heard me
Half these rappers suck like Kirby, do I think I'm hot? Certainly
Hurtin' me, well that's impossible, illogical
I'm virtually unstoppable
To try me is to end up in a hospital
I gotta go the distance, see this day down to the finish
When it's over state my independence, can I get a witness?
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Northside yeah! (What!) Yo it's on up in here! (What!)
To the southside yeah! (What!) It's on up in here! (What!)
To the eastside yeah! (What!) It's on up in here! (What!)
To the westside yeah! (What!) It's on up in here! (What!)
[Movie Sample]
Think about it... Think about it, and understand it. Do understand it
[Chorus x2]
Read between the lines, everything seems fine
But our rapid decline is a sign of the times
Most of us is scared of revolution
Thats why we strap up the glock, go on the block and we dont care who we be shooting
[Verse 1]
The world is a ghetto
Politicians pull strings like Geppetto
Cops kill, but still the court case gets settled
Little kids peddle dope on the streets, like its a hobby
Cause Moms lives in the building with fiends all in the lobby
Somebody called the preacher, and asked him for his blessings
It probably cost you some cash, when they passed the plate for collections
Only lessons teachers taught me in school was propaganda
And the picture of Jesus nailed on the cross, of course its slander
This land was built on corruption, murder and lies
Thats why every president had some sort of murderous ties
So I despise what you teach me, despise you completely
You can always see defeat in the eyes of the weakling
Over half the population of blacks today are Christian
And Christianity was the product of constant whipping
Cause they said that we were savages, so our values they took em
The majority of the slaves that they traded here was Muslim
So do they hide the truth from us, or are we just too scared to look
They say the truth is safe from niggaz in books
Because we dont read, so we dont really know our history
Yeah thats the type of shit that gets to me
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2]
I listen to Immortal Technique, when he speak he make a lot of sense
The record business is just as crooked as any politics
Thats why you hear a lot of rap niggaz talking that nonsense
Its the grand plan to keep our people stuck in bondage
Slaves to the rings, slaves to the chains, slaves to the reins
Most of these rappers is slaves to the game
Getting sodomized, just to wear some platinum and be idolized
When they whole entire life is itemized
The revolution wont be televised
Cause the television's only use is just for telling lies, to keep us confused
Cause confusion's easy to rule, so they use TVs as tools
To warp the minds of the youth so they grow up as fools
Over eighty percent of African Americans dont even know they heritage
And they dont think this knowledge is imperative
Thats why you see more babies and less marriages
No change, because the arrogance has been inherited right from our parents
And its carried over into our seeds, so when they sprout up as trees
They dont know who to believe, its a disease
And its called ignorance, and its highly contagious
And it gets worse over the ages
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3]
I write the songs that you don't wanna hear
The songs that DJ's dont be playing on the air
The songs that's gonna make my people wanna care
The songs that real heads bang in their Discman's and stereos
The songs that fortify you with nutritious values like Cheerios
The songs thats underground, like seismic prints that make the thunder sound
And shake the ground for miles around and cause buildings to crumble down
That jungle sound, that ruggedness, that niggaz nod their heads to
The type of music that'll make the police try and dead you
Son, I wouldn't kid you, I'm a hip-hop fanatic
I ?? up on music like Edutainment and Illmatic
So that wack shit you can have it, radio-friendly garbage
You caught picking off somebody and callin yourself an artist?
I be starving, for a sellout just to keep up with the ??
Everybody is biting, nobody knows when it started
50 different songs about the same thing on the radio
What happened to the basic concept of being original?
Its pitiful, because hip-hop has influenced our culture
These little kids look at the videos and hang the posters
Our time is getting short, our final days are coming closer
Its time to bring this age of ignorance to a closure
[Chorus x2]
