about

Welcome to the Floodgates, a time of impending apocalypse.

lyrics

This is that Ice-T, Ice Cube, put you in a foul mood
You against the world forever when the sounds move
The getting it done what they’re never getting around to
The breaking down their heros, leaving them in a clown suit
The pedestal smashing anthem pumping the volume
Bigger they are, the better chances for a tall tomb
Pine boxes extending them with an accordian
But then again, I rarely go to war my friend
I am the form of formidable wrath, more to bend
Mordecai forming a forge inside his source of zen
I hit them with that, causing foes to wither away
Lost amongst the dust, a monster with his prey
Conjuring decay inside the mouth of Trojan horses
Too busy sharpening my blade to ever pose for portraits
The arsonist with art to spray I am my own endorsement
Keep your paid partnership, I came to scorch them
I don’t need extrinsic motivators to stay sharp
The rhyming beast who flies beneath the hypest radar
So you can keep your props, Jesus pieces, Yeezy drops
Tear away your cheap facade
walk to me with knees that knock
Tapping at the pearly gates early Saint Peter’s napping
So keep toying with the thought that beef with me could happen
It’s downhill from here, no need to feel scared
I leave your body of work rolling in that wheelchair
No breaks, Kurtis Blow never existed
Donate every part you paid to this clique
By and large, I’m known for bringing you the fire bars
Bump this in your whip, soon you’re piloting a flying car
Lungs exude the mist that’s taking all your oxygen
All of the gossip but soon to call the cops again
The Nostradmus apocalypse, I am loss of limb
Colossal mausoleum filler villain, dropping in
I don’t jostle for position, I am me
So many irons in the fire, made the fire flee
There is no rivalry, I made a world to live inside
So sick of fools who never lived get the mission right
I’m leaving no survivors, just a song with focused virus
Breaking bad and broke the midas, when my flow provideth
Vocalizing prose of guidance to the folk who find remains
Who reconvene in hideaways upon the higher planes
Each rhyme arranged to hit specific targets, note them well
Some roll the dice with hope yet never had a soul to sell
Patrol the edges of shadows inside of camouflage
Abandon all the plans you had, and stack a grand of gauze
From here to Panama, hear the panic and San applause
Clear enhancement of present danger, blaze them and ramble off
Prepare the burial plot, thickened with the drone’s buzz
I’m leaving microphones crushed until my bones rust
