There's a lot to be said but all of you pay no mind 
And let that speak be of the dead 
Shut lips partnered with closed-minds 
Make thy worst enemy, yet thy sweetest f(r)iend 
Castle walls collapse as my people stray from what once was 
"The Land of the Free" 
Now encapsulated in an ignorant tortoise shell 
As the dominant male rises from that 
Which burns like hell, the fires, 
The storms that result in hail, upon us 
Lord forgive us for our sins 
For we are dumb fucks 
Motherfuckers constantly rape the sap from 
Nature's Mother, fuck her, slowly 
And let her heal yet scorch her with catheters 
Of flowing gasoline 
The hospital bills rise, upon us
Like strangers in the night 
The apocalypse will rise 
Like strangers in the night 
The apocalypse will rise 
As a cold black sun in June
The apocalypse will rise 
Let us join together as the African Giant Millipede 
Draped in all white so my niggas will survive 
Like blood diamonds in the river hoping 
To end up on a high class(less) ring finger 
The apocalypse will rise like tides of fresh milk 
From the breast of thee creator trade it for honey 
And glaze a thick coating for bad days 
Or as my people say "hard times" 
The times not mentioned in Times Magazine 
But just as the expiration date on 
The Black House 
That milk will evaporate for money 
The steam will rise, upon us
