[Intro: RBX & Nas sample]
The place is here, the time is now
The journey into the shadows that we're about to watch
Could be our journey
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
Meet Blu, where every day of his life's the end of the world
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
"When the fuckin' world blows up, throw your hands up"
[Verse 1: Blu]
Uh, yeah, who gon' give a fuck?
No one, 'cause no one will be here to hold it up
Blow it up, fuck it, tell the government suck it
I ain't givin' you my ducats no mo'
F a po', you want a show?
Bust in your home while you sleeping
Put a bullet in your dome, now you gone for no reason
Now we on to the precincts to free the beast
Unleashed, runnin' wild in the streets, huntin' down the police
When the fuckin' world blow up
You gon' see enough stuff to make your girl throw up
But, we defendin' all women and children
By pretending that the world isn't ending
Nah, fuck that, the truth shall set you free
Fuck lying to you, we cut you loose and let you be
Rob the gun stores first, bomb the White House last
Light the match, might as well go out havin' a blast
[Interlude: Tamara Blue & RBX]
You said you wanted guns!
You said you wanted war!
Well, it's here, motherfuckers!
Stop and think for a second
If this was you
[Verse 2: Blu]
What if it blew
And you witnessed it? What would you do?
Would you loot? Would you riot?
Would you set this bitch on fire?
Or would you hide in a bomb shelter, quiet?
Hopin' that it all blows over, and you here when it's over?
You appear and catch a spear from a soldier
Yo, we fought for this, died on the cross for this
Died for our dreams, in our home, sleep, armed for this
Now you wanna blow this bitch up with me on it?
Be honest, you don't want me flauntin' my women
Flossin' my jewels
You'd rather see me on my knees, washing your shoes
Yo, you thought we was cool, played me for a fool
Like you can crawl out a hole and not pay no dues
I'll be damned, my man
Fuck shaking hands, 'cause I know what it's worth
Not shit when we blow up the Earth
[Interlude: Tamara Blue & RBX]
Throw your hands up, come on!
Throw your hands up
Get your phones out
[Verse 3: Blu]
Uh, yeah, no more wack shit
Like this oversaturated rap shit, uh
I'm the John the Baptist leading you to Jesus
'Cause when the fuckin' world blows up, you'll probably see him
Waitin' all this time for us to kill ourselves
To the fuckin' point, we couldn't even heal ourselves
Push the button, watch Mother Nature explode
When will the fuckin' world blow up? Who knows
Maybe tomorrow (Damn right), one to end the sorrow
The end of payin' rent or your car note
The end of our hope, no time to borrow
'Cause even if you not dying, you still are though
Carloads of folks drivin' straight into the ocean
Tryin' to escape all the explosions
Through the commotion, they knew who it was
So, hold us responsible, we blew this bitch up
[Interlude: Tamara Blue & RBX]
Let them drown in the oppression that they serve
Exile and Blu
The narrator, the sender
Throw your motherfuckin' hands up
[Outro: Tamara Blue]
Eyes scanning like, like surveillance cameras
Can't accept what you are seeing
Orange skies filled with black clouds
From cars and chainsaws and cows
We keep reading
Another unarmed murder
Another unsolved missing person
Another starving child
Hands up!
Are you prepared for isolation?
Scrappin' for rations?
Hands up!
No hashtag to follow, no programmed visual, analog or virtual
The tide is rising
The time is now
Let the river Nile flow
Wash me clear of fear
Let love be a flood over me
I see possibilities on many planes and galaxies
Collect the dew on the leaves
Let love lead
Go with gratitude
Wade in the waves
Rejoice in the new day that peace will reign
