Deltron 3030 - The Return Lyrics






Stardate 3040
Warpspeed to the new scenario where we roam
Our tiny planet was continuously shrouded in darkness
From greed and anarchic conquest
The final operation, based ideas and proposals
Involving privateers, serving low blows to
Constellation patrol just to overthrow
And obtain supplies for the side that they ride for
Privateer raids on the core system while the whole
Planet under war conditions taking more victims
Than a mutiny taking over government control in attempts to secure a new republic
What became of it?
Planetwide destruction
Constant weapon fire crushing any production
Of advancements of science
Technology to ease life's difficulties
Every tax dollar went to sweep crime
Off the streets but the law would cheat each time
So operations backfire defeating the design
Seems like a leap in time, back to simpler days
Where technological advances were minimal
Whoever survived were thrust into dimmer days
Every portion of the land decimated in a blaze
Law and order fractured, attacks were center stage
The star of the show was entertained but a bit afraid

It's the return, check it
Deltron Zero and Automator

It's like clockwork, it's just like clockwork
It's like clockwork, it's just like clockwork
It's like clockwork, it's just like clockwork
It's like clockwork, it's just like clockwork

As I view a long stretch of sand dunes
And abandoned shacks and crack houses with rats out in the clear open
I see a few hopeful transients
Grab a frisky critter to roast some food
Don't know what to do, it was out of our hands
Now we gotta pull straws, figure out a plan
I'm mobbing with a posse, a clan
Of ragtag renegades, looking for living grenades
Live ammo, cause it's been in the stage
Of cutthroat, corrupt folks
Pressure too much to cope
We see a woman get jumped by young punks
High off of Nitro 9, ain't no life behind
Those black pupils, no scruples, no rules so
She at they mercy or so they first think
I leap first seeing perfect opportunity
Ah, socked two or three in the mouth without room to speak
The rest of our posse peeped the nod
And proceeded to reap the bruisers confused and dizzy
Tossed them in a trash compactor, now they history
The woman was hysterical in fits of grief
Yo "Miss, please calm down, they all gone now"
Literally minced into little bits between
Pieces of leftover Chef Boyardee
Mixed with a couple of booty magazines

It's the return, check it
Deltron Zero and Automator

Final frontier, desolates and pestilence
Vessels incapacitated, left vacant in burning husks
Word is government does
Not control anyway, the streets have the last say
That's not hard to see, more cars than trees
Or more like lumps of metal in rows several
Nuclear fallout crawls out
And sometimes blinds people, leaving them with no sight
No rights, muggers in broad day
Similar to the ancient fables of the Wild West
Or maybe just a trial or test
For humans who thought they were superior and more than houses of flesh
Highly upset
Human beings seeing no way, going straight
Anarchy flows through the alleyways
Little chance for me and my band, go tooth and nail
Because music has the one glimmer the future entails
Can't nobody use it as well as my strafers
Cause many quit the craft after the pay for it
Became minimal, then the full republic
Backlashed to outlaw music production completely
It was discreetly, neatly accomplished
Under our noses, but a few were still on the quest
To keep the globe hopeful and vigilant
No matter what situations we living in

It's the return, check it
Deltron Zero and Automator

  34. D.... D....

  35. D.... D....

    At last. Intellectual rap is back :-)

  36. C.... ....

    it'ssssssss the retuuuuuuuuurn

  37. M.... ....

    its the story of deltron 0. and the automator. get it right chees. not outdated. its the return of deltron 0 and automator sun! 

    M.... ....

    Right? the Automator ain't no normal sidekick!

  38. s.... ....

    The message is here!

  39. I.... ....

    Don't know why, but Del voice remember me about Common ..

  40. J.... J....

    Deltron sounds like hes ahead of the rap game uograde your brain matter cause one day it may matter

    J.... J....

    Correction: Upgrade your grey matter, cause one day it may matter. Get it right

  41. V.... V....

    It may be just me but, it seems after a certain amount of time, like 8-10 years, rappers kinda become lame and washed up. Del's been going for 25 years but it's okay, just because he's Del.

    V.... V....

    true but I mean after years what more do you really have else to say?

    V.... V....

    AUTHENTICITY , that is why del is still here.. life is a continuous journey, if you are an artist, an activist.. your work never ends.. "its the return"

    V.... V....

    Del still got it but i do think hes less energetic nowadays. Still dope though i enjoy the change

    V.... V....

    @deafbyhip-hop less energetic? HE LIVES IN 1010 YEARS HE REALLY SHOULD.

  42. J.... Z....

    NICE!!!! props to undergroundcult.com for posting this!!! Deltron 3030 >>>>>

  43. i.... ....

    anything and everything del does or is involved in collaberation of is without a doubt deeper more meaningful and just better than ANY other rapper. most rappers dont even deserve to be called artists but Del and his Hiero crew are some legit straight up bad*ss artists and they all got smooth flow so dont ever criticize Del or Hiero while im around or you might just get a shuriken to the kidney.

  44. g.... ....

    the sound is epic. cracking broken speaker sound. this is what music will sound like after the bombs go off.

  45. c.... p....

    Really shitty hook, but other than that it's pretty cool.

    c.... p....

    The "hook" makes the song. Recognize kid.

  46. M.... W....

    outdated? it still sounds 1,000 years ahead of it's time to me

  47. j.... ....

    Dan the Automater

  48. t.... l....

    Everyone is bagging this cause it's got a similar sound to the first one saying it's an outdated sound to me that's what makes it dope

  49. t.... ....

    Ellipsis?

  50. s.... ....

    I wonder if its kid koala again..

  51. T.... ....

    fuck you hobs

  52. T.... ....

    Del spits such a nice painting of the future. I hope they make a vid for this

  53. f.... ....

    Damn, this album is a lot darker than the first one.
    I like it.

  54. T.... ....

    I need a shirt with that image.

  55. N.... M....

    Del is such a savage, and the whole group is going to be in Portland on the 21st of Nov, but Seattle is a long way to road trip from.

  56. r.... r....

    Automator Dan gets close to original 3030 with this track.

  57. J.... Q....

    Saw them in Charlottesville last week. They kicked major ass.

  58. J.... Q....

    Feel the same.

  59. v.... b....

    chilzzzzzzzzz

  60. B.... R....

    Servin low blows to constellation control! Haha so awesome

  61. f.... p....

    bow down

  62. J.... ....

    sounds like a christmas song....

  63. T.... C....

    YES DEL YES YES YES

  64. N.... ....

    Del still makin that shit! 20 plus years in this bitch and still a flame spitter. Recognize, you hoes

  65. A.... ....

    Yeah, I know, to the actual song entitled "3030", not just the whole album...

  66. S.... ....

    THEY DID IT! More perfectly than I could have imagined!

  67. T.... M....

    it is a follow up to 3030...

  68. A.... ....

    This song is AMAZING. I can't even believe it. It sounds like a follow up to 2000's "3030". I thought "What is this loneliness" and ESPECIALLY "Do you remember" were my favourites from this album... but I was mistaken, horribly mistaken. "The return" is Del at his THICKEST, and Automater & Kid Koala do not disappoint. I love everything about the song, especially the "just like clockwork slow downs" and the gradual building theme in the song.

    This is what I wanted from the album.

    A.... ....

    AGREED!

  69. d.... m....

    If you like this. Check out K-Rino foreal

  70. C.... T....

    Deltron 3030, the best ever

  71. C.... ....

    I thought that the song featuring Zack de la Rocha was my least favorite, IMO. The RATM elements didn't seem to work too well with the slower flows, again IMO.

  72. S.... B....

    Fucking beautiful especially the hook

  73. S.... ....

    weakest track on the LP IMO. the rest is really solid though

  74. N.... P....

    This album will take five years for people to get, just like 3030.

  75. B.... P....

    This is the best one I heard on the album. Half as good as Del and Dan in their prime. Shouldn't have tried to relive the legendary 3030.

  76. M.... ....

    Too dope.

  77. K.... i....

    ha gayy!

  78. B.... 3....

    sweet track

  79. p.... ....

    God this is too good

  80. G.... J....
