Yeah, I was looking out my window
when I heard this sound
look up into the sky
saw the moon turned to blood
looked at my little brother
said, "you high as hell maaan"

Chorus:

Apocalypse..
1,2 the headlines youths just rolled through
Apocalypse..
3,4 solder, 100 horsemen at your door
Apocalypse..
5,6 you wanted dead or alive, hit or miss
We we y'all, yeah, we we y'all

Verse One:

Arrival of the Carnival
New beats, I never recycle
While your looking for samples
You might get trampled
Surprise, hey
I'm back with lightning and thunder
I heard you over saying that I was a one year wonder
You dumb or some, I went to refugees
Silly felony, when I'm done
Collect royalty from record company's
Clouds getting darker
Suns getting nearer
I'll turn a atheist into a god fearing believer
The back of a building
Your body's found by children
Playin' hide go seek
All we found was his skeleton
In the back of a car
You spawned with the wrong guard
You know my empire strikes back hard
Listen hard, war
This is the day after action
Projects, cannons
Being launched at the palace
Vision, revelation
Sky know apocalypse
Enemy pilots kamikaze into the abyss

Chorus:

Apocalypse..
1,2 the headlines youths just rolled through
Apocalypse..
3,4 solder, 100 horsemen at your door
Apocalypse..
5,6 you wanted dead or alive, hit or miss
We we y'all, yeah, we we y'all, yeah, we we y'all

Verse Two:

Aiyyo, Back on earth
The party is in the tunnel
On the west side of the river
Went mad quiver
Rats get fed to the alligator
Gun blast equivalent to the bombs in pearl harbor
Rescue choppers broke the turn to hiroshima
I'm driving to jersey to escape the terror
I was on the highway pushing a black viper
A car pulls up, is he a jack or a sniper (sniper)
A blue range rover, he says pull over
I didn't know he was a DT undercover
I screamed out my lungs
This is discrimination!
He tried, he said you just robbed a gas station
Who me? not me! it couldn't be
I was in the Grammys with Brandy
Didn't you see me on tv?
Bullshit, y'all all in the same game
He tried to run me off the road
Like he was Roscoe P. Coltrane
I stayed calm, gave him a hell of a show
Cause when its time to go
All i gotta press is turbo
Heard it on his walkie, road block on 280 west
Things got serious, that's when i bust a left
U-Turn, my eyes burned
My concern was a truck coming
Head on collision within a chase position
Close one, i almost went up in a blaze
Running from what appears to be a masquerade
Least that what i thought, it was all in my mind
Reality stuck when i got to the borderline
The headline reads every ghettos sad story
A rookie shoots a boy over mistaken identity...
(crash)

Chorus repeat (2X)

  • best song on the album im 16 .. my bro is 30 and if it wasnt for him i wouldnt have grew up on this

  • "While you lookin' for samples you might get trampled!!" Fuckin Wyclef....

  • @jsbachflute, I Thank thee...

    Somehow though, In that one week, perchance even that same day... I found the lovely song. I'm very happy to have found it, and I thank thee for telling me, even though I already know now. Its good to have good people :)

  • @DeGroteLaaf That is the sweet voice of french singer Daniele Licari (1969) world hit "Concerto pour une voix"

  • @561buRnz407 There is another apocalyptic song on the album called "Year of The Dragon". The funny thing is that 2012 is the Year of the Dragon. 

  • Never mind, Internet is a wonderful thing!

    I've FOUND it FINALLY :D

    concert pour une voix! that's it! concert pour une voix!

    I'd say, it should be said in the discription somewhere, that song has touched my heart once more and I'm sure I'm not alone.

  • WHAT IS THE SAMPLE IN THE BACKGROUND... WHAT IS IT. I MUST KNOW.

    PEOPLE THAT CONTAIN THE VERY KNOWLEDGE I SEEK, PLEASE ELABORATE THIS SAID MOST FAVOURED INFORMATION. I have wished and hoped to find this music for so long... I can't even remember when I began looking... a most lovely piece :')

  • Wow dude you f'd those lyrics up pretty nicely

  • You sparred w the wrong guard ^^^^^^^^^^

  • Marc Ecko getting up trailer :D
