[Evidence, Madchild, Rakaa Iriscience - Perfect Storm lyrics]
"Ask the weatherman"
It's the perfect storm, it felt so warm
'Til the rain came, with winds so strong
The Weatherman warned 'em but it felt so calm
'Til things lined up right, and went so wrong
Yeah I toured "20
20" twice, 40 days, 40 nights
2 of each bird of my shit, I save ya life
Paid the price, no dice, I'm the nicest
The odds in my favor Noah
Before there's Christ
I'm the holy resurrection of him
I'm the only one that's left
To drop these gems
Clean sweep, cleanliness is Godly
Never been afraid of pain
That's just weakness leavin the body
War is politics by other means, no more than
And if I can't forgive you, the Lord can
And if I don't deliver
I stand by my messages
Never backed out, day one, same ever since
It never end like it's supposed to be
So I took the whole script
And rewrote the scene
The first shall be last and the last is first
So when my cup runneth over
It floods the Earth
The boomerang is back, gives the city a crash
Between the water and sky
My reign is trapped
I don't feel shit, no pain
No remorse I'm numb
When I take off it's like I'm on Air Force
One
Yeah, I rhyme invent free
They're blind and then see the Mind of Mencia
I'm like Chappelle
Puffin cheeba with my feet up
On the beach in South Africa
Not trippin off the media
You thought vampires only roamed
In the evening but they be in boardrooms and
They feed at lunch meetings
So even though I might party
Smokin and drinkin
I'mma keep at least one eye
Open when I'm sleepin
Alarm clock rappin while they
Snooze button slappin
I'm on beats but I know
People in the streets clappin
Modified semis to fullys for revolution
Evolution of the final self-defense solution
It is what it is yo
But read between the words too
Rock with Rakaa 'til Babylon drops the curfew
I grind like Stevie Williams or
Terry on the curb too
I'm fly, movin dope, sick words
Call me bird flu
How the beats rain down and the verses pour
Ev the weather man
Breaks it down perfect form
I'm a king with a crown
Full of perfect thorns
Lookin at Halle Berry, that's a perfect storm
I went from - never feelin better
To feelin under the weather
To takin pills just to escape
I got to get it together
Cause now I know the upside of bein numb
I hear, all these stupid songs and I
Try to be as dumb
But there's still somethin inside of me
That try to see the art
So I decide to be a freedom
Fighter hidin in the dark
And when you're livin on the road
It gets cold f'real
Enough to turn a warm pure
Heart of gold to steel
I'm a iron jawed angel, life is painful
Let it rain on my parade
Your whole facade is shameful
Swear to God I'm able
But it's the wrong season
Pick all the wrong topics
For all the right reasons
When your empire's crumblin
That's a humblin experience
Joke's over man it's time to get serious
I'm brutally alive with a plan
Now understand where I'm from
It's past the point of love I do
This for my family and blood
Go out proud I got, God on my chest
Just take a picture of my soul
Cause it's too wild to posess
Make today count
That's one thing we got in common
Cause we have to realize that
Tomorrow's not promised yeah
It's the perfect storm, it felt so warm
'Til the rain came, with winds so strong
The Weatherman warned 'em but it felt so calm
'Til things lined up right, and went so wrong
Yeah I toured "20
