Lyrics
What have we here storm before calm.
Chaos precedes tranquility.
Strung out on fear so pass me the napalm
Overwhelmed by fear, seeking intense solutions.
Break Bread with me before it is stolen
Share resources before they are taken away.
Sleep with one eye open silence is golden
Stay vigilant, silence is valuable.
Life a magazine Death a Reality
Life is like a magazine, death is a harsh reality.
Drug dealer heroes thug celebrities
Admiring drug dealers and violent celebrities.
Rush hour gridlock may seem drastic
Urban congestion may seem extreme.
An open road compared to drug traffic
An open road is preferable to drug-related chaos.
Starving to death on a Quaalude diet
Suffering on a diet of numbness-inducing drugs.
Living in a Slow Motion Riot
Living in a society filled with slow-moving chaos.
Concisness it has been gagged and bound
Awareness is suppressed and restrained.
Better make your last confession
Prepare for the worst, confess your sins.
The worlds doing its best impression
The world appears to be in a state of decline.
Of a ship with nowhere to go but down
Comparing the world to a sinking ship.
Skyscraper fantasies Ghetto realities
Contrast between grand aspirations and harsh realities.
Dreams watered down like softcore pornography
Dreams are diluted, akin to softcore pornography.
Watch your step gang related death
Beware of violence associated with gangs.
Funeral day wonder who's next
Funerals are commonplace, uncertainty prevails.
Crime is the standard built up Immunity
Crime is normalized, immunity is built up.
Only care if it's our community
Concern only for one's own community.
Smokescreen safety can't trust the Government
Distrust in authorities, safety is obscured.
In this world hell seems heaven sent
In this world, hell seems like a heavenly offering.
Were in a Slow Motion Riot
We are experiencing a prolonged, gradual upheaval.
Life a Fantasy Death Reality
Life appears glamorous, but death is stark reality.
Life a Quarantine Death a courtesy
Life feels constrained, death is treated politely.
Life a Brevity Death Finality
Life is short, death is inevitable.
Life a foul disease Death a Remedy
Life seems corrupted, death is viewed as a cure.
