The World As We Know It....
By: Macabre, Bio*Chemist, L.I., Lyric, & SmokaJoka666



Macabre
Russia:
Mother Russia..a desolate beauty..the snow is so cold it's scalding..
..but from me to you..it's gone to hell since the death of Stalin.
Then there was excitement..training for war..cradeling a death-dealer..
..now men only scrape by as potato peelers or bread stealers.
Shit could change..with a new president, it would be better I think,
..the countryside is so boring..so I turn to my friend, the hard drink.
What else is there to do..hockey? Comrad, you don't wanna see me on skates..
..cuz I know i'll end up crashing..and arriving at hell's gates.
I've led life the best I could..only stealing when I needed to..
..doing some oddjobs for the mob..comrad, it's sad but it's true.
I'm a simple man with a family..I couldn't let them down as you can tell..
..It's Mother Russia that let them down..Russia the sub-zero hell.


Bio*Chemist
Iraq:
Frantic just crazy due to war children are left poor,
sinew of bones and residue of blood and gore,
quenches the thirst of puddles in the streets.
Bomb shells lay beside me when I can barely sleep
Orphans scatter threw the valley ways escaping
the sound of war , adults perish it's a everyday thing.
Used to death and decay as US militaries show
us little pity. Normal activity is burying my family.
Grenades , Rockets , Bullets seen them all in action
blown babies heads off other bodies left in fraction.


L.I.
Australia:
The heat gets to your head.. even causes sweat to pause...
You start to imagine things.. sacks of money & sexy broads...
Amazing creatures roam free.. going untouched in beauty...
Until fucking demons pounce.. catching animals for booty...
Poachers remain around.. but there population is fading...
As security is increased.. and our technology upgrading...
People try duplicate our outback.. but word cannot depict it...
So come see for yourself.. and happiness will be precicted...


Lyric
South Korea:
Always wondering, will North Korea spring a surprise attack?
Relations have been shaky, especially in the recent past
Are they storing nuclear weapons? Or is it just a hoax
No one is really sure, except the country to the North
Who can we trust, with differing opinions close to home
Should we feel compassion, Or jnust leave them alone
We hope for things to soon settle, We're on the right track
Cause opening ceremony in Athens, we walked hand in hand
Governments feverishly attempting, to resolve differences
If not for ourselves, for the well being of our kids


SmokaJoka666
United States:
Land of the free, is what it appears to be..but is it justa belief?
We released the demon seed of the U.S. army in Iraqi territory
What reason? A deceivin president telling you what to believe in
Prison scandals leakin, deep in the heart of Congress is treason
Can't decide Bush or Kerry, tearing in my mind it's just scary
They barely give a shit for U.S., ..so what's our future carry??
Now they want taxes on gas, try to laugh, but Im spittin facts
What kinda shit is that? just more excuses for THEIR cash
The government hold the keys, makes me want to just leave
....In this true land of the free and home of the brave indeed

[ORION]

now what i want to know is.....is each emcee repping their own country??? cause if so that shit is hella tight....i personally have never seen an open mic like that.....if it's true, thats pretty creative..props to the dude that thought of that one...(did you get the idea from the olympics?)......my favorite verse would have to be lyrics...haha, for these lines especially:

"Always wondering, will North Korea spring a surprise attack?
Relations have been shaky, especially in the recent past
Are they storing nuclear weapons? Or is it just a hoax
No one is really sure, except the country to the North"(<--i had to laugh)

I also like Macabre's verse...especially this line: "I'm a simple man with a family..I couldn't let them down as you can tell..
..It's Mother Russia that let them down..Russia the sub-zero hell."


there are two many verses for me to go through and critique the good and bad points of each one....but like i said my favorite would have to be lyrics....and my least favorite would be L.I.'s....It just wasnt very interesting....I mean, what kind of turmoil did australia go through, i dont know...and his verse sure didnt tell me....everyone else is talking about evil governments and war...and australia is talking about poaching......haha i care about the animals too but....i dont know man.....anyway IM OUT (return the favor please and hit up a open mic in my sig)

[Endeva.]

i thought you hit this quite originally, dont think i remember seeing this concept executed before, seen similar peices, like on seperate countries n shit, but yeah thought you all brought your own views into it... im a lazy cunt these days, so im not gonna break each down, just an overview of the lot.... lol.... decent work from all parts.... any more lenght on the verses would have dragged it out, so yeah good length as it was.... nice
