[Spawn Talking]
Yeahhhhhhhh....
Yo Xcon....
Tell em...
Tell em what type of rhymes you on
[Xcon Talking]
Yo..We on Sage yo
We on Sage
[Chorus]
This is the calm, before the storm
This is the peace, before the bomb
This is the calm, we'll turn the tables
this is the calm, we'll release the tornado
[Verse 1: Xcon]
I tell you about time, war, peace and crime
That climbs on the mind of homo-sapiens
To become homo-superiorins
Delusional delinquents doing evil deeds for the devil
Trying to bring hell up another level
They got attacked and lost civilians, lost millions, by evil minions
Who've been landing planes in skyscrapers
All was left was debris of papers
They got mad and bomb everything and left nothing but vapors
Now the rest of the world tried to prevent a fall out of war
But no, they were bent on evening the score
And this leader they had roared out commands like he was the king of the jungle
He ignored the reasonable, and he labeled which country was evil
Historians say the past repeats, oh yes this was medieval
But can you blame them for getting in trouble
Before it was even double the rubble
We evolved from apes, but it seems along the way our sanity escaped
We burn trees and throw oil in the sea
Environmentalist tries to keep the harmony between man and nature
We capture what we don't know, and rapture what we dominate
And who are this mabus wanna be's that we nominate
[Chorus]
This is the calm, before the storm
this is the peace, before the bomb
This is the calm, we'll turn the tables
this is the calm, we'll release the tornado
[Verse 2: Spawn]
So, I hear new problems have risen
isnt that somethin?
listen to the sound that the mainstream is bumpin
listen to the beat that the clubs are thumpin
cameras chase famous celebs and hammer them when they're humpin
so dedicated to indivisuals that have something happenin
for them in thier lives,
why do they deserve the right
while the rest of us fight, and ignite our own cash
work in the night while they get money in a flash
wanna smash these fags to peices,
he starts conflicts
he doesnt know what peace is
time to release this
thesis, these is G's,
as the death toll increases
you mean it? time to believe what I see on TV
MTV and BET,
CNN, FOX and NBC
networked to be the fact givers and believers
send shivers to all brown people,
describing American tears
lets stop our fight and burn down statues in delight
to prove we were here, to enlist more fear
to bomb more civilians in the upcoming years
cheer us on, as we hunt for one man
even when the rest spear us,
we still wont understand
cause....
[Chorus]
This is the calm before the storm
this is the peace before the bomb
This is the calm, we'll turn the tables
this is the calm before we release the tornado
[Verse 3: Spawn & Xcon]
If you could see what the truth is,
its not in reporters
report us for doing what we dared
did you care when we were burnin
no peace is free, no money is gold
are we left to doom till the days we're old
sold to unity and communities that burn down in immunity
humidly, the skyline changes as the puberty
of a country
is needed, still fall, never defeated
don't you see it? the vision to enlist fear in the ears
when they hear our anthem, they scatter like deers
gunshots are our meals, we are the best
that is OUR fact, so screw the rest (X!)
[Xcon]
Yo...
We’re so bent on finding a mate or losing weight
That we can’t stand straight, the wackiest things we debate
Can’t anyone see that Nostradamus has written our fate
It will be to late cause death is approaching
But look at us only worried about what’s on next or who’s coaching
I know t
