I'll flood this world
leaving no part untouched
Ravaging these shore lines like Katrina
Ripping it up like Greens Burge
If I open these floodgates
I'll come at you like a wall street colapse
Undermining everything you thought you knew
If I open these Floodgates
I'll dissapper
I'll melt away like iron in a forge
Leaving behind nothing more than a few scraps of paper
If i open these Floodgates
My blood will burn as if razors plussed through my veins
My eyes will glaze over and be blood shot
If I open these Floodgates
It will be the end of me
See where I grew up you didn't cry
It was weakness the worst of its kind
It meant you could be touched
Could Be Beat
So things like Strighten up
wipe them tears away
Don't be crying
Real men don't cry
were drilled into my mind
So If I open these Floodgates
It will be for years of sinlence
Watching friends and family die from everyday violence
See If I open these Floodgates
I'll reverse everything i was taught as a child
So why not
Why not open these Floodgates
The reason i hold everything back
Is because I still feel like I'm under attack
Half Drempt Delusions wake me in cold sweat
If I open these floodgates
I would Drown the world
To bad I can't
See i came out of the ghetto
Determined not to let it drag me down
Northeast and DogPatch were everyday Occurances
Bullet holes in the walls were the tweakers busted in
Shot streets can bring you to an early end
Blazing J's late at night to kill the pain
The pain of holding these Floodgates shut
So i broke the Handle
And threw it into the sea
To stop myself from opening these floodgates
