LOOPTROOP - Carneval lyrics

rate me

Now, this happened during The Struggle Continues tour

A.K.A time that we double the venues

Doors open at ten, you should all bring your tent

Line up outside the door, night before, making sure you get in (Come on!)

Now you know when, let me tell you 'bout how it went down

When we came to this little ass town

In the middle of nowhere, man how did we go there?

I can't recall the way, though it feels like yesterday

And the people went crazy, the crowd's in a frenzy

The show's like a carneval!

Hush when I bust, 'preme with a pen, seated again

Embee putting in work cus y'all need to be beaten again!

Trust me it's us, back at it like smack addicts

Stuck with a bad habit, turn fans to fanatics

On a victory lap, we stop by in Pop-eye

I drop my last 16, so sick teens will stop write!

A vicious comeback, never ever left, but it had a rest

Now they want to arrest, cus we kill and molest

These so called emcees, so U-turn or you burn

You're not fucking with us!

Who's fucking with this? Pop in a disc, listen compare

To the rest of the bullshit, I ain't dissing, I swear

I'm just telling the truth, y'all ain't fading the troop

On the mike or the mpc, the stage or the booth

And if pages could shoot they would aim for the head

Of the biz wouldn't miss so we pray for the dead

And then kiss'em good-bye, listen don't cry

On a Bob Dylan mission they were fixin' to die

Nothing could help'em they murdered themselves

When they went against us

Us - you know the name: the mighty Looptroop Rockers

Travel around the world true school globetrotters

There's no debate that we raise the stakes

Everywhere we pass through we blaze up the stage

We're on a world tour with the whole entourage

And your favourite band's merch stand is the true stars

But if we come to a place where you're not

Log on to the webshop we accept all cards

Anytime, anywhere yo they murdered themselves

When they went against us

After load out we rolled out, celebrated in the van

Though the speakers where blown out, the jammin' began

So we drinking and laughing like always on tour

And I'm thinking - I'm happy we on our way home!

But then Shumi pulled over - hold up we can't go!

I left my wallet in el segundo...

Fast turn around, back into town, floor it, let's race!

We'll make it in time, they shut down soon, but we safe

The people looked crazy, bonfires blazing

What is this, a carneval?

We parked the bus about a block away

The whole crew got out heading for the place we rocked today

People blocked our way so we got in the backdoor

This shit is too dark yo where's it at pro?

I swear I left it between the soymilk and the vegan spreads

Underneath Preme's headband

Show money, merch money - shit I'm dead...

Man I saw the promoter outside. Trying to hide?

Open the door - guess what we saw - man I ain't lying!

The people were crazy they're feasting on babies

In this bloody carneval!

Literally - picture it! Snacking on baby back ribs

Like Timbuktu when chilling with Chords

But the difference is sickening, - snatching their babies

From cribs and then sucking the blood out their pores

Shocked by the gore, we just watched how they tore these

Little kids into pieces, chopped up on the floor.

I'm down on all fours, almost fainted, gotta play dead...

But I found the wallet by a baby, right when they ate it!

Now we running like crazy, zombies are chasing

Parading the carneval!

Shiee, we gotta leave press the pedal to the metal

These creatures won't let us go - wanna get us and dead us yo

Shallow us whole without a sign of remorse

Stay around one minute more you'll be the next on the main course

In a corporate world where the leaders will floss

With poor people's muscle - life hittin' all time lows

In the stock market hustle NASDAQ and Dow Jones.

Child labour violating their cosmetic codes

Now the world going crazy,

Sacrificing its babies - come join in the carneval!

A sigh of relief through the bus as we leave

What the fuck's going on? What they tryin' to achieve?

The same city where you live and you breathe

The system grows fatter and your kids are the feed

And when I looked through the windshield

I saw this big billboard for the welfare or healthcare system

Was it really real or? It probably said like:

This world needs its young! Could've been an ad buster but I read like:

This world eats its young!
