JUDGEMENT DAY
Greydon Square Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They used to call me the super gross, but now its Duck Butter
We started off as strangers but now we blood brothers
The 5th horseman it's none other
The catholic church could've prevented this with just one rubber
Silly abstinence challenged by active raptivists
These rappers actually fear these ideological savages
This is aimed at the sheeple, the pawns of the Vatican
Who fell for Pascal's gambler's fallacy law of averages
What you would see if you lost the baggage
Galactic structure so big, you don't even know that you're looking at it
Update your status to say dude is insane
...even on the tracks where he isn't using his brain
I was writin lyrical songs before you cats discovered it
Back before bishop Eddie Long was having sex with kids
And out of court settlements, you can go and tell him that
We never needed his god, go somewhere else and peddle it
...I'll quit rap once the world ends
Until then, you gon' just get caught up in the whirlwind
Because i'll show you real sin
You'll witness horror first hand like Osama Bin Laden's girlfriends

...they say we're in a fallen state
Downplay accomplishments, only highlight mistakes that we often make
Then want to tell us to walk which way
How to talk and play
Even though most of them walk astray
Save your judgements we're off today
You want to judge you can take a closer look into your author's ways
Cause i'll look into the darker shade
See you all afraid
Of the ghosts from your father's age

We're all murderers literal war criminals
I'm not cynical i'm just making it more visible
Mentally wounded vets seen between long intervals
Lost in the bitter cold ward of hospital rooms
...the operation is launched no more subliminals
Generational war we're coming for your general
How the hell is the base of our mountain your pinnacle?
Information more valuable than gold or emeralds
Or your toted centerfold
Over we should have been done thrown
Any government every throne
...the old man said listen
"there's people counting on our brothers to keep set tripping"
Prison industrial complex, a fresh sentence

...they say we're in a fallen state
Downplay accomplishments, only highlight mistakes that we often make
Then want to tell us to walk which way
How to talk and play
Even though most of them walk astray
Save your judgements we're off today
You want to judge you can take a closer look into your author's ways
Cause i'll look into the darker shade




See you all afraid
Of the ghosts from your father's age

Overall Meaning

Greydon Square’s song, Judgement Day, emphasizes society's moral decline and the dangers of blindly following authority. Greydon's lyrics suggest that society focuses more on people's mistakes than their accomplishments, which leads to wrong judgments. Greydon mentions he was once called 'super gross,' but now he goes by the name ‘Duck Butter.' He speaks of his bond with his fellow rapper, and they are now blood brothers. Greydon refers to himself as the fifth horseman who could have been prevented by the Catholic Church if they provided contraceptives. Towards the end of the first verse, Greydon talks about the limits of one's perception, and how our environment impacts our thinking.


In the second verse, Greydon claims that we are all murderers and war criminals, not just one person, but the whole society as a whole. He highlights the cliched attitude of society to examine others' faults while ignoring their accomplishments. Greydon suggests that people should reflect on their behavior before criticizing others because they might be guilty themselves. He adds that the older generation needs to confront the evils of their past instead of burying them. The lyrics suggest that the judgment day will be inevitable, and people need to prepare for it by self-reflection and change.

Perfection. A masterpiece along the likes of Michelangelo and the other renaissance artists.

DeltaCharlieHipHop

This is incredible! Finally I find an atheist rapper! I thought I was the only one!

Zero 01111010

I think you mean Anti-theist rapper friend!

Luciano Simmons

Damn man. . "you'll witness war vs ham like Osama Binladens girlfriends"
Oh my.... That's a cold blooded bar brother. So many meanings there. From a reader and word-a-holic I salute you.

Jeffrey Aalders

Best atheïst rapper.

Friendly Skeptic

A sentence one word too long.

Luciano Simmons

@Friendly Skeptic Haha I was going to say something comparable. "Replace Athiest with "Ever" for me. This man is on my Rushmore of musicians. With Eminem, Monche and Jay z. Skill wise he's right there with those guys. Personally I can relate to him. Physics, ex Christian, black atheist, etc... I would still be in the death cult likely if I never came across this guy one day. "Brains" changed my life.

Zero 01111010

@Luciano Simmons Jay Z? Really? I'm no expert on him but isn't he a mainstream whack rapper? The kind Greydon Square calls out? And Greydon Square is easily the best rapper. Eminem doesn't even compare when it comes to being a conscious rapper.

Luciano Simmons

I can't disagree with you. The more into physics I get the more I love this man's work. He is my rap goat. His art first got me to question Christianity... Now I just question reality lol. Its a gift and a curse he's given me. Blindless indoctrination to unflinching questioning... I hear ya. Jay, pharoahes and others are still incredible. Greydon would easily be world famous and "mainstream" if the main stream ever thought for a single moment once very hard about "what am I actually seeing in front of me" I concur with your sentiment in a manner of speaking.

Jose Q

Truth rap.
