Early Hundred Strong track featuring Capital D from Chicago crew All Natural. A frightening prophecy very relevant in the world we live in, first released in 2000 about the state of things in the world 20 years hence. First came out on Hombre records out of Bristol.
lyrics
The turning point was in the year 2020,
a few had plenty, but as for the many,
they weren't tasting any fruits of their labour,
there had been prophesied a coming of a saviour,
20 years prior by the Roman Catholic calendar,
they must have calculated with the wrong algebra,
most of the meek were devastated roman scavengers,
nuclear war had turned the blue sky to lavender,
i happened to come across an artefact,
that was known to give the unjust heart attacks,
matter fact it had been expressly forbidden,
to the righteous it contained a prescription,
an ante dote to cure the current condition,
i dug it up but had to keep the drug hidden,
from the police who patrolled with squadrons,
the formers cities which were now called quadrants,
you see the war wasn't fought between the nations,
but by the multi national corporations,
against a populace with whom they lost patience,
and so they planned out the mass annihilation
of all labourers who due to technology,
had become useless in this new age society,
at the same time they wiped out piety,
and replaced it with a corporate psychology,
all governance was done by the businesses,
instead of wages you merely earned benefits,
the right to shelter, water and oxygen,
plus the corporate condoned intoxicants,
pacifying people through addiction,
i saw it clearly with the 20-20 vision.
The world was controlled by 5 key entities,
run by one person of an unknown identity,
Bill gates had long since been assassinated,
by the fellow devils with whom he collaborated,
IBM, Netscape and Microsoft,
were now one squad that was macro hard,
in 2009 they created a computer,
that didn't require an end user,
Rupert Murdoch, Time and Sony,
combined forces to form the one and only,
corporation that controlled information,
shaped ideas and assimilation,
the third company had gained it's wealth,
in the field of all personal and public health,
the human genes had been patented and sold,
so now you paid loot just to cure your own cold,
and by 2010 we all would owe,
our food, clothing and shelter to F C S Cole,
the global military and local police,
formed a fifth company and they unleashed,
a war on the poor which of course we lost,
2012 rocked the nuclear holocaust,
and people who had once been blind of fact,
now tried to turn the clock back because the lacked,
20-20 vision it aint about the year,
20-20 it's all about seeing things clear,
20-20 you can do that right here and right now,
take your sacred vow,
20-20 vision it aint about the year,
20-20 it's all about seeing things clear,
20-20 you can do that right here and right now,
take your sacred vow,
The 2020 vision is one of pure chaos,
in which man has drifted way off course,
but think back to the premier verse,
and the artefact that was unearthed,
It bore names like Mohammed, Noah and Abraham,
in ancient times it had enabled them,
to deal with the gravest of oppression,
that's why the rulers of our day were suppressant,
constant in the belief in one God
full knowing it would lead to Jihad,
and know since the knowledge had all been obliterated,
and man made sex had been terminated,
we could resurrect the belief,
in it's purest form with no west or east,
so we set out about our mission,
to pave the way for the prophetic vision,
but should we fail there would be no peace,
in the reign of the beast,
would never cease.
2020 vision.
20-20 vision it aint about the year,
20-20 it's all about seeing things clear,
20-20 you can do that right here and right now,
take your sacred vow,
20-20 vision it aint about the year,
20-20 it's all about seeing things clear,
20-20 you can do that right here and right now,
take your sacred vow,
2020
