The Drought

[Verse 1: Blaze Ya Dead Homie]
Look to the sky
Ask why the sun is gone
Why we grow strong
Why you steady wilted on
Where’s all the dust from, is it breath of demon’s lungs
Is this the Hell the Bible warns will come
The end for some
The Lotus never pass or fade
Grow in shade or light
Climates always right
Never ever is an end in sight
I know you're thirsty
Droughts done ya dirty
Corroded you internally, and with the dust you blow away

[Verse 2: Jamie Madrox]
No sun needed
No water needed
Repeated, no water needed
The seed needed moonlight just to feed it
It blooms, blossoms, and flourishes, possible to encourage
Depressed, and discouraged, under moon rays they the purest
In a drought, I'm all about keepin' a consistent love flowin'
Mixed with the ultraviolet rays, these pods, they keep growin'
I don't need a moment, these crosses on our face, repel opponents
And reflect like a mirror, showin' true power
Now don't it

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
We don't wanna, we don't wanna bring the drought
We don't wanna, we don't wanna let them down
Lotus blooms when moonlight shines through
We don't wanna, we don't wanna bring the drought
We don't wanna, we don't wanna let them down
Lotus blooms when moonlight shines through

[Verse 3: Shaggy 2 Dope]
Uh oh, oh man, the sun's comin' up
Which means the game's over, sayonara, outta luck, fuck
My skin's dryin' up
And starts to crack, ribs stickin' out my skin
Bones pokin' out my back
I'm steady losin' my vision, 'cause my eyes is sinkin'
Teeth fallin' out one by one, body rottin', stinkin'
Bones poppin' out they sockets, as I crawl to my tomb
The daylight’s killin' me, rejuvenate with the next moon

[Verse 4: Violent J]
The sun beats on us for months
The once nourishing stems are withered down into stumps
Leaves crack, like a vampire's pale flesh
Tell me why the fuck are the Gods being so selfish
Time moves slower than a slug across a hot rock
You hear the tick, but an hour passed before the tock
In this drought, all my seeds can do is pout
Thank God it don't take rain for a real lotus to sprout

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
We don't wanna, we don't wanna bring the drought
We don't wanna, we don't wanna let them down
Lotus blooms when moonlight shines through
We don't wanna, we don't wanna bring the drought
We don't wanna, we don't wanna let them down
Lotus blooms when moonlight shines through

[Verse 5: Monoxide]
I feel so dry today
I need someone to cry for me
Feelin' like I might die, put a DL up high
Let the Black Rain all come fallin' down on me
My garden's wilted souls, some heartless, some emotional
But I hope you know that I get to grow
In front of moonlight, others individuals
Fuck residuals, I don't need a God damn penny if my life ain't felt
Just too many that could use my help
That's all that matters, nothin' else
Not the stores, not the shelves
Not the women, not the wealth
Can't ever change the drought I'm dealt
So sometimes, I cry for myself

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox]
We don't wanna, we don't wanna bring the drought
We don't wanna, we don't wanna let them down
Lotus blooms when moonlight shines through
We don't wanna, we don't wanna bring the drought
We don't wanna, we don't wanna let them down
Lotus blooms when moonlight shines through
