Apocalypse
Jean-Christian Michel Lyrics

1,2 the headline news just broke through
The shocking and significant news has just been announced

3,4 soldier, 100 horsemen at your door
A large army is poised to attack and threaten your safety

5,6 you wanted dead or alive, hit or miss
You are being targeted and the outcome is uncertain, whether it be your survival or demise

Oui, oui, y'all, yeah, Oui, oui, y'all
Expressing affirmation and camaraderie

Arrival of the Carnival
A festive and vibrant event is taking place

New beats, I never recycle
I create fresh and original music

While your looking for samples
While you search for reused and borrowed elements

You might get trampled
You could be overwhelmed and crushed

Surprise, hey
I return unexpectedly

I'm back with lightning and thunder
I have returned with great power and impact

I heard you over saying that I'm a one-hit-wonder
I am aware of rumors suggesting my lack of sustained success

You dumb or some, I went to refugees
Are you unintelligent? I ventured into providing assistance to those in need

Silly felony, when I'm done
A foolish crime, but once I am finished

Collect royalty from record company's
I receive payment for my music from music labels

Clouds getting darker
The atmosphere becomes more ominous and threatening

Suns getting nearer
The sun is approaching closer

I'll turn a atheist into a god fearing believer
I have the ability to convert someone who does not believe in God into a devout believer

The back of a building
The rear side of a structure

Your body's found by children
Children discover your lifeless body

Playin' hide go seek
Engaging in a childhood game of hiding and seeking

All we found was his skeleton
Only the remains of your body were found

In the back of a car
Inside a vehicle's rear compartment

You spawned with the wrong guard
You affiliated with the wrong protector or guardian

You know my empire strikes back hard
You understand that my influential force retaliates forcefully

Listen hard, "war!"
Pay close attention, as war is declared

This is the day after action
This is the aftermath following a significant event or conflict

Projects, cannons
Housing developments and weapons

Being launched at the palace
Being fired towards the grand residence or center of power

Vision, revelation
A profound insight or divine disclosure

Sky know apocalypse
The heavens are aware of the impending cataclysm

Enemy pilots kamikaze into the abyss
Adversarial pilots sacrifice their lives by crashing into the bottomless void

Ayo, Back on earth
Hey, returning to reality

The party is in the tunnel
The celebration is happening within the underground passage

On the west side of the river
Located on the western bank of the river

Went mad quiver
Became crazed with fear and trembling

Rats get fed to the alligator
Undesirable individuals become victims of a dangerous predator

Gun blast equivalent to the bombs in pearl harbor
The intensity and impact of gunfire is comparable to the bombs dropped on Pearl Harbor

Rescue choppers Brooklyn turned to Hiroshima
Helicopters intended for rescuing transform Brooklyn into a scene reminiscent of the devastation in Hiroshima

I'm driving to jersey to escape the terror
I am driving to New Jersey in order to flee from the overwhelming fear and danger

I was on the highway pushing a black viper
I was cruising on the highway in a high-performance car

A car pulls up, is he a jack or a sniper (sniper)
Another vehicle approaches, and it is uncertain whether the driver is a thief or an individual prepared to shoot (a sniper)

A blue range rover, he says pull over
A blue Range Rover, the driver instructs me to move to the side of the road

I didn't know he was a DT undercover
Unaware that he was an undercover police officer

I screamed out my lungs
I shouted at the top of my voice

"This is discrimination!
"This is an act of prejudice!

What's the charge?"
What accusation are you making against me?

He said you just robbed a gas station
He stated that I recently committed a robbery at a gas station

Who me? not me! it couldn't be
Are you accusing me? I deny it! It is impossible

I was in the Grammys with Brandy
I attended the Grammy Awards ceremony with Brandy

Didn't you see me on TV?
Were you not aware of my appearance on television?

Bullshit, y'all all in the same gang
Nonsense! All of you are part of the same group or alliance

He tried to run me off the road
He attempted to force me to drive off the road

Like he was Rosco P. Coltrane
Similar to the actions of a character named Rosco P. Coltrane (from The Dukes of Hazzard)

I stayed calm, gave him a hell of a show
I remained composed and provided him with an impressive display

Cause when it's time to go
Because when the moment to depart arrives

All I gotta press is turbo
I just need to activate the turbo feature

Heard it on his walkie, road block on 280 west
I overheard on his walkie-talkie that there is a roadblock ahead on route 280 in the western direction

Things got serious, that's when I bust a left
The situation became critical, and I quickly made a left turn

U-Turn, tires burned
I executed a U-turn, causing the tires to screech and emit smoke

My concern was a truck coming
I worried about an approaching truck

Head on collision within a changed position
A direct crash occurring when both vehicles are in different lanes or positions

Close one, I almost went up in a blaze
A close call, as I nearly went up in flames

Running from what appears to be a masquerade
Fleeing from a situation that seems deceptive or disguising

Least that what I thought, it was all in my mind
At least that is what I believed, but it was merely a figment of my imagination

Reality stuck when I got to the borderline
The true reality struck when I reached the edge or boundary

The headline reads every ghettos sad story
The news headline details the sorrowful narratives from every disadvantaged neighborhood

A rookie shoots a boy over mistaken identity
An inexperienced police officer shoots a young boy due to misidentification
