The Arrival

[Intro: Slug]

I'm not really supposed to talk about this.....but

[Verse]

(They've arrived) with the excitement of a newborn

Came to join the main event and fight against the luke warm

(They've arrived) with nothing but their word and they history

Take a can of paint and try to decorate their dignity

(They've arrived) it's not what they anticipated

Fuck, it doesn't matter put your fists up and instigate it

(They've arrived) and they can't save the planet

Or the children, or the pandas, or themselves goddamn it

I'm just a man that loved rap

So much in fact I put every piece of myself inside these fucking tracks

What is that, you whisper something from the back

You think your personal attacks make up for what you lack

I'm just a cat searching for a clean lap to crash

In a world hurting, waiting for their turn to take a nap

Sorting through the bills, fan mail, and life threats

Wondering why the postman ain't delivered my wife yet

(They've arrived) they call me Sean, this is Anthony

No need to act hard cause we got extended family

So I smile while I try to use my words wise

Say what I meant, just in case this is your first time

(They've arrived) ooh child are the wings tired

Smilin' like a couple of fools that the Queen hired

(They've arrived) can't wait for the vibrate to thicken

So we can watch the world's hips gyrate

(They've arrived) even the dead's getting live

It's a little deeper, you can float, c'mon baby, dive

(They've arrived) to fall in love with this bitch

From the petals on her flower to the pimples on her tits

Fuck the insults and fuck the compliments

Just wanna see the mommy free the honesty and common sense

Stop followin' the wind that you swallow

Cause it's too simple to aim for a target sittin' on a fence

(They've arrived) we do it for the candle in the sky

Here's a toast goes out to those who can't handle their high

You and I, we can swim into the tide

And watch these other children lose they mind

(I'm doing fine)

(They've arrived) and they landed safe and sound

Better try to take em out before they make your saviors proud

(They've arrived) so fix the beef, quit actin' like a sheep

Either spit your speak or sit there and grit your teeth

(They've arrived) to spread the info to the kin folk

Fuckin with the climate on the inside of the windows

(They've arrived) they're here, the baby farmer

Gonna take it farther, make a mark and break apart your fake martyrs

Planted firm, let the planet burn

Understand the terms, you don't wanna open up this can of worms

I'm tryin' to keep my prize on the eyeball

But people wanna see you fly, all to watch the sky fall

Who's to blame for your lack of conviction

I wasn't drafted, I asked for the mission

Put your name on the list at the bottom on an empty line

And hold in plain sight whatever gave you the right to question mine

The night prowler, gonna crawl past all the rap politics

You can put that on your last dollar

Wake up, it's bigger than a pay stub

There's the door, get your money, go wash off your make-up

[Outro]

(They've arrived) and they don't need your lovin'

If you don't wanna give it, keep it

Doesn't really mean nothin'

(They've arrived) gonna beat it til it stops breathin'

No need to even try to even reason with, they're not leavin'
