City Rising From the Ashes Lyrics

[Intro: Del as Deltron Osiris]
Zooma zoom zoom zoom...
Yeah


[Verse 1: Del as Deltron Osiris]
I know you need a little background clear though
About your boy Deltron Zero, your hero
In three thousand thirty
We ain't in the clear though
We was near toast, doing too much, who to trust
In a land so scandalous and grand?
Even the President got his hand in the contraband
They done control the band of information
Leading to education to a brainwaves pulsatin'
They said "Fuck the Environment!"
For so long the environment said "Fuck y'all"

Ok, now we in a cobra clutch
Once the planet fold up, and blow up
You know what?
Mother Nature must've saved us cause look
We still stayed here
But much was lost
We lost touch with the source
To get back, there was a hero
Jet black
[Hook: Del as Deltron Osiris & Mike Patton]
Who was kin to the previous champion
(Let's go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In three thousand thirty, but now it's four thousand ten
From the ashes I arise with
The new style, This Deltron Osiris
([?], yeah, yeah)
If you can buy this, let's go along
And see how we go so far, the road is gone
(So let's go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Osiris, I'm here in the afterlife
In the future where brothers will have to fight
([?], yeah)

[Verse 2: Del as Deltron Osiris]
Everybody, call it a scramble
Full scale chaos, reckless abandon
Cats will sell they, hand for a handgun
Follow your commander, though you can't stand him
No plannin', wild and dangerous
Anger just permeate, so we learn to take
Hostility with a grain of salt
And step out the way, cause it ain't our fault
Bank vaults blown to smithereens
Whatever's left is left for the fiends

But you'd better not mess with the team
Deltron and Dan, we melt foes to ash
There in a flash, and not in the pan

It's all in the plan in a lawless land
Just so y'all can understand
I got a legacy to chase, live up the fam
[Hook: Del as Deltron Osiris & Mike Patton]
Who was kin to the previous champion
(Let's go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In three thousand thirty, but now it's four thousand ten
From the ashes I arise with
The new style, This Deltron Osiris
([?], yeah, yeah)
If you can buy this, let's go along
And see how we go so far, the road is gone
(So let's go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Osiris, I'm here in the afterlife
In the future where brothers will have to fight
([?], yeah)

[Verse 3: Del as Deltron Osiris]
For the power
Now you're been devoured
By sound waves

Frequency with a deeperly
Creep with me, as I bail through the hood
With unsavory types, most likely no good

In the eyes of society's visor
Even though their enterprises are the crisis
They license been revoked
By the average trench coat
Pulling out so you get smoked
Blahhh
Like hickory sausage
Victory? Come on, it's far from flawless
They ain't God, but their ways is pompous
Thinking they can stomp us with troops and contras
But just let loose a stupid
Monster, unable to be contained
It's too late, they launched it
With no promotion
So now we revolt
And insult they sultan
With explosive voltage
[Hook: Del as Deltron Osiris & Mike Patton]
Who was kin to the previous champion
(Let's go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
In three thousand thirty, but now it's four thousand ten
From the ashes I arise with
The new style, This Deltron Osiris
([?], yeah, yeah)
If you can buy this, let's go along
And see how we go so far, the road is gone
(So let's go, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Osiris, I'm here in the afterlife
In the future where brothers will have to fight
([?], yeah)

[Outro: Del as Deltron Osiris]
Kaboom!!!
Guess that must spell doom
You wish to defeat me?
Me, with your feeble mind?!?
Huh
I see you high
Fuckin' with me, Deltron Osiris
Fam put me on
We gonna live long, that's what it is
Now, next meeting is
Underground in the West Matrix
Underneath the Statue of Liberty's remains
Now shhh
I'm gonna scramble the
Frequency being transmitted over the
Pirate communications matrix
Because there was word that
The Rebel Trolls from the new sector
Have secured nodes within the matrix
Shhh, don't say nothin'
We gonna creep up on 'em tonight, OK

About

Genius Annotation

Deltron 3030 (The trio of rapper Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, producer Dan The Automator, and DJ Kid Koala) return with their first official release since their last, satirical self titled album.
This single will be the title track for a new EP coming out!
In this song, Del reiterates the dark dystopian world of 3030, but then announces that it’s now 4010, and he’s reincarnated as Deltron Osiris, ready to fight in the afterlife!

Deltron portrays himself in a similar way to Osiris, the Egyptian god and Ruler of the Underworld (for which he is clearly named). Unlike other pagan religions, Osiris was widely respected as a benevolent Pharaoh god and the personification of “Life After Death”, and was even known as “He Who is Permanently Benign and Youthful”.
