Description | On this long spoken closing track on E.L.E. (Extinction Level Event): The Final World Front, Busta explains to the listeners about how time has changed so quickly ever since he dropped his last two albums prior to this one (The Coming and When Disaster Strikes…) and what the world would look like in the year 2000. Also, since this is his last album to have an apocalypse theme, he doesn’t thank his fans for listening and keep them posted (unlike the outros of his last two albums), because based on the title of this album, they are now face to face with that very given time frame. So Busta dedicates this outro to the ones that didn’t survive the apocalypse, while telling the ones that are trying to survive the apocalypse to continue on getting what’s theirs from out the turning point before they meet their fate, and hoping to see the ones that survived the apocalypse in the year 2000 (which explains the second track on his next album). |
Lyrics | [Intro] The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song [Verse] Though some of us have been poisoned Many of us have been blessed And through the worst shit That we all as people go through Every blessing that we are blessed to have Are blessings that provide us with what makes us capable of withstanding And makes us more powerful when we go through the worst shit Everything and every motherfucker gets dealt with accordingly Mark my words See I remember on The Coming album You know when there was only five years left It was once said that there was no time To take time for granted Well we are now face to face with that very given time There's only one year left motherfuckers 1999 The dawn of the new millennium I understand though Sometimes it takes time And hands-on extreme hardship experience To realize how much better it is to prepare for the worst By all means It will always be better to be safe than to be sorry So as we finally approach the year 2000 Behold what it might have in store for us people There have been many indications of changes That will occur, that has already occurred That were not and will not be set up to our benefit, as people But in order for us to continue to build We must destroy And unfortunately in the process Many of us will be liable candidates Of being destroyed But in the bigger scheme of things we must defend What we all collectively identify with as the truth And with what is right To all my live soldiers And all my live women Those who may not survive the turning point May you forever rest peacefully As you are delivered back to the essence So I dedicate this burial song to all of you To my survival of the most fit for real niggas And women no doubt Continue to get what's yours from out this fucker Before your time run out And may the force of survival forever rest with y'all My live motherfuckers To all my survivalists See you in the next thousand year period Allah bless all y'all Flipmode continue to bounce Like a satellite in orbit Seein' all you motherfuckers at every angle The imperial, the universal, powerful Flipmode squad Stay tuned See y'all motherfuckers, January 1st 2000 You might also like[Outro] The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song The burial song |
