about

recorded live in Munich, Germany.

lyrics

we necromance dead crowds to grab a dance
clap their hands / b-boy stance / wack bands don't have a chance
savage plans to launch official spittle missiles
rattles riddles / battles little rappers' dribble / double wishful
thoughts of meeting the chief-ing chieftains speaking frequent
pursuing dreams and meanings with zeke and solomon brown
skills abound / still the sound fills your town
spilling down million pound avalanches of nouns
rap tantric / i'm sick of pop star antics
like kids throwing tantrums through hip-hop semantics
anthems are repeated / seriously candid
i don't leave impressions on cats / i leave them branded
most are underhanded / overstate their understanding
stanzas so bland we're demanding disbanding of your clan
so cold i should be spitting with mittens
while you're sitting with kittens / dissing missions with beats bitten
listen: to innovate you gotta be different
progress comes of struggle not of talking shit while lifted
you all play the misfits but you could rock the gifted
d-ciph avalanching to get the power balance shifted
'that's all fine and good kid but how're we supposed to win it'
community organizations / grassroots foundations
ending gentrifications / ghetto beautification
it's in our hands we're the hip-hop generation

avalanche – it's the force bombing from up north
veteran horns settling scores / better in wars than you and yours
the underground torch / shine bright enough to blind
here to move your feet, your mind, and your behind
avalanche – we're that force bombing from up north
militant prose / elevate shows / opening lore's musical doors
the underground torch / shine bright enough to blind
here to move your feet, your mind, and your behind
my band will turn those fresh beats rancid
if you're not buying the album you'd best be dancing

projecting thoughts like ender's ansible / intangible through mandibles
graffiti vandals exposed / government scandals exposed
war propaganda goes 'you're an army of one'
cats dwell in darkness / they aren't harming my sun
disarm with spit guns as we farm the fit young
endless toil / tarnished soil / inner-city alarmists
weed out generations / we replant in the basement
leave fans in contemplation / seeking inspiration
i speak out til my face bend with psalms to disgraced men
2 4 6 8 10 we tackle talk in twos
battle faulty crews / promptly rattle off the news
still ignore the signs as vital organs die
brain; leader / heart; artist / feet; worker / eyes; writer
as an MC are you the mouth or the liver? get live-r
destroy both but it's hard to repeat like toy boat
annoy folks? I hope / employ flow til joy grows
'that boy's croned' / eyes open / even sober so determined
to deter men to defer when a lone soul can't take the burden
word wardens warding weaves to keep grand wizards from our sermons
we're fervent with unlearning / hip-hop disperse the hurting
sixth verse inversion / urban rhapsodies from gershwin
we're back to these analogies / banal MCs rap fallacy
without a plea / no self-pity / even god is doubting me
make them listen when we shout I'm free

avalanche – just the force bombing from up north
selling them relevant etiquette / better than cheddar shit / pedal to metal retorts
the underground torch / shine bright enough to blind
here to move your feet, your mind, and your behind
avalanche – the force coming from up north
scoping smoking skogen showing shogun spoken from the source
underground torch / shine bright enough to blind
here to move your feet, your mind, and your behind
my band will turn your fresh beats rancid
if you're not buying the album you'd best be dancing
