[Intro: Method Man]

First, there was the collapse of civilization

Anarchy, genocide, starvation

Then, when it seemed like shit couldn't get any more fucked up

We got the Plague, the Living Death

Closing his icy grip around the whole planet

Then the rumors started

The last hardcore MCs were working on the cure, that would end the pestilence

Why?

I like the death

I like the misery

I like this world

The Final Frontier

These are the voyages of the Starship Tical


[Verse 1: Method Man]

As I walk in the shadow of death

Sixteen men on a dead man's chest

Your host this evening, Mr H-O-T

N-I-X, you get splashed with the TEC

Nobody go 'til the god say so

You got a second or more to run for the door

Before I blow back off the map, contact

You didn't know Stat' could get down like that

Who want them test rocket launcher, yes

Mr. Meth, hold the fort, most def

Cats is dead wrong, song's too long

Get swung on, can't we all get along?

See my pinkie, see my thumb

See that kid with the pump shotgun?

Bust your gums, leave your whole shit numb

Hmm, now what's this? Smell like fish

Mr. Big Mouth, the gat be trout

You need to douche out your style, no doubt

Johnny struck through the Shaolin slum

Prum-prum-prum on my Shaolin drum

Niggas don't dare to step in the square

Kids ain't playing over here, playa

Only one way, and that's my way

Grim Reaper calling, Judgement Day


[Chorus]

Ten let the countdown begin

Nine, I was born in the mind

Eight, take the head of a snake

Seven, behold Armageddon

Six, ain't no love for the rich

Five, only strong will survive

Four, 'cause we live by the sword

Three, plus sixty degrees

Two, for the black and the blue

One, for the sun

Step into millennium


[Verse 2: Method Man]

The name of this one is "Judgement Day"

No more B.S., can't come out and play

Don't blame me, blame society

Type of chemistry for a live MC

Hands in the air like you just don't care

You all get a share, there's a party over here

Year 2000, keep bouncin'

T-Minus, thirty seconds and countin'

New York's finest, still wilding

Shaolin, at the full moon howling

Get 'til it's gone, Killa Bee kills

Only time will reveal like the words in the song

'Cause love's what I feel for my crew, bust steel

Niggas don't got to pay my bills

P.L.O., pack the slingshot flow

Plant the seed, let the garden grow

And stick that rhyme where the sun don't shine

Darts pierce your heart like the Valentine

This my "Tale From the Crypt," that's sick

Bloodbath, body bags and shit

UFC fighting championships

G.I. Joes with the kung-fu grip

Now you don't dare, to step in the square

Kids ain't playing over here, playa

Only one way, and that's my way

Grim Reaper calling, Judgement Day

Come on, I said come on


[Chorus]

Ten let the countdown begin

Nine, I was born in the mind

Eight, take the head of a snake

Seven, behold Armageddon

Six, ain't no love for the rich

Five, only strong will survive

Four, 'cause we live by the sword

Three, plus sixty degrees

Two, for the black and the blue

One, for the sun

Step into millennium
