Lyrics

They've arrived with the excitement of a newborn
Came to join the main event and fight against the lukewarm
They've arrived with nothing but their word and their history
Take a can of paint and try to decorate the dignity
They've arrived. it's not what they anticipated
Fuck it. doesn't matter, put your fists up and instigate it
They've arrived, and they can't save the planet
Or the children, or the pandas, or themselves god damn it
I'm just a man that loved rap
So much in fact I put every piece of myself inside these fucking tracks
What is that? you whisper something from the back?
You think your personal attacks make up for what you lack?
C'mon. I'm just a cat searching for a clean lap to crash
In a world hurting, waiting for their turn to take a nap
Sorting through the bills, fanmail, and life threats
Wondering why the postman ain't delivered my wife yet?
They've arrived. they call me sean, this is anthony
No need to act hard 'cause we've got extended family
So I smile while I try to use my words wise
Say what I meant, just in case this is your first time
They've arrived. oooh child are the wings tired
Smiling like a couple of fools the the queen hired
They've arrived. can't wait for the vibrate to thicken
So we can watch the world's hips gyrate
They've arrived. even the dead's getting live
It's a little deep, but you can float, c'mon baby dive
They've arrived to fall in love with this bitch
From the petals on her flower to the pimples on her tits
Fuck the insults, and fuck the compliments
Just wanna see the mommy free the honesty and common sense
Stop following the wind that you swallow 'cause it's too simple to aim for a target sitting on a fence
They've arrived. we do it for the candle in the sky
Here's a toast goes out to those that can't handle their high
You and i? we can swim into the tide
And watch these other children lose their minds. I'm doin' fine
They've arrived, and they landed safe and sound
Better try to take 'em out before they make your saviors proud
They've arrived, so fix the beef
Quit acting like a sheep
Either spit your speak, or sit there and grit your teeth
They've arrived to spread the info to the kinfolk
Fucking with the climate on the inside of the windows
They've arrived. they're here. the baby farmer
Gonna take it farther, make a mark, and break apart your fake martyrs
Planted firm. let the planet burn
Understand the terms, you don't wanna open up this can of worms
I'm trying to keep my prize on the eyeball
But people wanna see you fly, all to watch the sky fall
Who's to blame for your lack of conviction?
I wasn't drafted, I asked for the mission
Put your name on the list at the bottom on an empty line
And hold in plain sight whatever gave you the right to question mine
They've arrived. the night prowler
Gonna crawl past all the rap politics you can put that on your last dollar
Wake up. it's bigger than a paystub
There's the door, get your money, go wash off your make up
They've arrived. they've arrived
They've arrived. and they don't need your lovin'
If you don't wanna give it, keep it. doesn't really mean nothing
They've arrived. gonna beat it 'till it stops breathing
No need to even try to reason with, they're not leaving
They've arrived. (9x)
