    Story Behind the Song
    The name "Red Dawn" was meant to coincide with the upcoming EP's title, "The Red Planet". I was thinking along the lines of this being the 'dawn' of Gaijin Red; when you peep those melodic chords in the hook, it makes you feel like you just hit sunrise. I just knew I had to flip some hot lyrics to it, and so I made the chorus to say "I got what you're lookin' for, now you gotta prepare for it." I was feelin' the vibes on this track so heavy, I laid the main vocals in one take.

    Lyrics
    Some say I came from the center of the Earth/
    Others say Im that new type money, so what you worth?/
    Some call you rap child, covered in afterbirth/
    or some Bitch-Ass Mothafucka, showin his skirt/
    The truth is, I couldve come from some outer space dirt/
    here to give you 40 acres in a world of hurt/
    but know this, Gaijins the foreigner like UFOs/
    and yet familiar like arch-foes/
    and while you niggas stay frontin makin master claims/
    my words turn into blackbirds that shit with aim,/
    flock up into phrases that project to maim,/
    then form the phoenix that projects the flame/
    You ask me, youre fuckin devils all the same/
    I can recall before rap was called rap game/
    and recall before the rapper made rap lame/
    Just another Scarlet Letter puttin niggas to shame/
    Silvansmith was created to prevent the pain/
    of being pissed on and told it was rain/
    or getting Amadoud by crooked execs/
    who wanna keep your masters and hold them against you like Tecs//

    I got it, and if you want it/
    you can come and get it, but youd better prepare for it/
    Oh yeah, I got it, and if you want it/
    you can come and get it, but youre gonna prepare for it//

    Rhyme circles around the competition; dem fall dizzy/
    and strap Depends on cause their styles type pissy/
    You wonder, What is he?; Gaijin:/
    That new form of language, like C++ when Im compilin/
    Im complex hackers use my brainwaves/
    to render government web sites to fall slave/
    My enclave hits the scene and splits the screen,/
    forcing you to double your efforts to be seen/
    amongst a million rappers and their mommas who manage/
    but yall niggas gotta understand I gotta do damage/
    You wanna be a monkey savage? Go ahead and stack bananas/
    but some men stack banana clips/
    When I roll on stage, your brain matter rips/
    cause knowledge stops the blinding light like an eclipse/
    Knowledge stops your blinding light like an eclipse/
    Knowledge stops your blinding light//

    I got it, and if you want it/
    you can come and get it, but youd better prepare for it/
    Oh yeah, I got it, and if you want it/
    you can come and get it, but youre gonna prepare for it//

    Youre just a storyteller of fractured fairy tales; Im high-scale/
    with shock value of a third rail/
    Stack stock thats blue chip; sink rappers like ships when flippin loose lips/
    Innovate young minds like CPU chips/
    You know who flips paper/
    You hear me transmit on pirate radio in Asia/
    The non-thug, non-playa, but understand/
    Im a non-punk, non-faker; Im just a man/
    working my way to godhood using a plan/
    to place me at Haile Selassies right hand/
    When I expand over your FM bandwidth,/
    competition is left without legs to stand with/
    Im like Titan A.E. Ill be around after the Earth blows/
    to hunt down foes and hurt those/
    as the Hand of Vengeance, the Voice of Independence/
    the Brainchild of Intelligence and Relevance/
    Peep the evidence within my DNA elements/
    Ill make you see Red like the Dead see the Presidents/
