#*If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold*. (Genesis 4:23, 24) Founding cities, slaying sons, Cain's descendants ran the guns. Gangstas reigned, before the flood Polygamy, hoochies, vengeance, blood... Doubtful honor was defended; Love waxed cold, revenge commended. Lamech laid the lyrix down: Bragging boasts from a violent clown; Clueless at the coming deluge Staking out his Cainite refuge Before it all was swept away In Noah's long-awaited day. Urban violence, thugs and beats, Criminals clogging Enoch's streets; All the glory misbegotten: Urban legends long forgotten.

As in the Days of Noah
#*If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold*. (Genesis 4:23, 24) Founding cities, slaying sons, Cain's descendants ran the guns. Gangstas reigned, before the flood Polygamy, hoochies, vengeance, blood... Doubtful honor was defended; Love waxed cold, revenge commended. Lamech laid the lyrix down: Bragging boasts from a violent clown; Clueless at the coming deluge Staking out his Cainite refuge Before it all was swept away In Noah's long-awaited day. Urban violence, thugs and beats, Criminals clogging Enoch's streets; All the glory misbegotten: Urban legends long forgotten.
