That's A Rap

DJ Kraze One:
From the borough representing on the look out like a copper
Kraze One from a time when Cutty Ranks done the stopper
coming proper like a rocker never passing through discreet
foreigners round my estate marvel at the way I speak
(so unique) saying I sound like a Londoner
but no I hold it down from the MK borough
thorough bread like a pedigree MC we're clearly
moving with versatility in to the next century
(new entry) so make way for part two
know the coo who's coming through the element (True)
Kraze One like a shotgun running things all the while
dedicated to my crew big it up like a smile
(low profile) until we step on to a stage
turn it over like a page representing a new age
of true school hip hop structured like a virus
infecting the ears of those who pass by us
Justice:
When the belly rumbles we get back in the kitchen
with a cook book of rhymes that make the most of time now it's ticking
here's just one recipe four of the best MCs
hot like pepper and fresher than mint leaves
other just gas and season the beef we add a flame and ignite the flavors
that excite the neighbors taste buds like ravers edible rapped up in newspapers (Justice)
go MK we some dons I'm a citizen
free to talk free to walk home brewed in Milton Keynes
heres your food for thought
if knowledge speaks then wisdom listens
maybe the more you know the less you talk
be reborn as I christen the lines that were once blurred
my rhymes obscured absurd with my verbes
as your learning curve word play with a nerve
Killa Joul:
Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
introducing the crew True Element MCs
like De La Soul the magic number is three
triangularly display incredible vocabulary
and creativity every year like a nativity
we be dropping trax and representing MK city
are you feeling me hooked up a little samba
little bit of sunshine chatting on another banger
bongos and horns still hitting like a hammer
old school like Gerry Dammers rock the mic like Bad Manners
chainging the dynamic like a plumber with a spanner
please dont make me angry like my name was David Banner
is my crew up in here (Yeh) well here we go
on the down low ut oh let loose like a torpido
go slow oh no I dont think so
my 16s up i got to let the mic go
Paranoia MC:
Move back on this track I react
no need for distraction i'm action packed
to grab the mic and chat real phat to be exact
to extract the boom bap and leave the wack track
Milton Keynes is our place we represent that
the City with no pity rough and gritty mic who's back
True Element have been there we've done that
seen us flow we'll steal the show thats a fact
take a step back if you think your the mack
youll be my bitch i'll give you a bitch slap
round your trap all you do is chat crap
any more chatting crap and youl see me attack
lyrically not violently MKs on the map
that our goal thats the format jack
in fact the pack was to form your laid back
ha ha ha no more said now thats a rap

Paranoia MC:
Back to invade the other MCs territory
You got it good its not another jackanory story
listen to my sound I'm Paranoia MC
its me you see me on this Kura track be
I take on top of the mic take on top of the mic rhyming
sit on top of the rhythm top of the rhythm I be climbing
to the top I wont stop
wack mcs drop this is hard hip hop
DJ Kraze One:
This is our representation of a hip hop assault
defending the art form sworn to uphold
a code of ethics based on principals of life
trying to give a for site
to what is righteous with every lyric I buss
my name is Kraze One DJ Kura on the cuts
taking it back fundamentally to essence or to energy
constantly cos cycles keep turning endlessly
Killa Joul:
Thanky ou please I like the mic like a rat likes cheese
but you won't hear Micky Mouse dropping lyrics like these
hardcore know the score like the mid nineties
kept the vibe inside me True Element MCs
never be a chart start one step to far
drop my 8 bars like a high tech fader
won't get radio play for this
but those who know yeh we rock the real shit
Paranoia MC
Yo yo yo so now you know
the track fast or slow you we flow any tempo
so yo you feeling my flow
its all for the love no its not for the doe bro
Killa, Kraze and Para we're here to damage ya
can you manage the MCs that will savage ya
we're True Element this is our salvation
DJ Kura's beats hit the button panic station
DJ Kraze One:
I remember trying to break through in 1992
made a demo with my crew round the time of leaving school
on the streets paying dues sticking to my principals
met an MC name Killa Joul done some live shows
reputations grow got ourselves established
British rappers like fish and chips a national dish
trying to progress sounding different from the rest
never following trends just to generate an interest
Killa Joul
Push the pedal to the metal I'm in pritty fine fellow
when you think i'm 37 seen a lot of heavy weather
but the thing that make me cleaver than your average competitor
my reluctance to be contemporary or popular
hold your tongue son I might explode on
Kura beats from the hardcore dungeon
wait your turn kid time to recognize
there will not be a changing of the guard at this time
Justice:
You get the Kura we bring the ora
old school dogs Ki-ora
TE like a nudge on the frutie
hit the jack pot when the bars are dropped
go hard cos we cant afford to flop
keep my words like windows XP chop
copy and paste cos the world has gone beyond PC Mad
Its more than mental now TE bad
True Element all in a Kraze
Paranoia seeps in as we begin to reflect on our raise
from the licks on the streets of rage
a'int much changed its still a game
Killa Joul came had a fag dropped
we later chopped bars that hate and shop
This is fun, a hobby, it a'int a job
get paid in respect that's how we keep it top

Welcome To The City
04:36

DJ Kraze One:
A percentage of council tenants drinking super tenants
empty fag packets and beer cans serve as evidence
time and change is constant but so is a lack of confidence
as we chase the pounds and pence to change the course of events
my neighbors broken fence lays flat as stray cats
rome the alleys at the back people fighting over crack
jippos looking for the scrap straying off the beaten track
you don't really want to do that
cos some peoples actions cause conflicting situations
when you don't have no respect for self or surroundings
see the burnt out buildings on the estates like battle scars
dog shit on the grass abandoned cars and smashed glass
Chorus:
Welcome to the city little mans with big plans
Welcome to the city take destiny in your hands
Welcome to the city big themes and big dreams
Welcome to the city all's not what it seems
Welcome to the city a lack of educated minds
Welcome to the city some see but still are blind
Welcome to the city in passing people say
(Life's a bitch sometimes anyway)
Killa Joul:
Imagine looking a life through broken glass
watching social unrest on the streets and underpass
red letters piling up on your doormat
with plastic gangsters running round the block strapped
(don't look back) someone may sneak up behind you
tax your mobile and your wallet and yeh maybe your life to
the animals have taken over the zoo
and the old bill in a the area don't know what to do
(cos they aint got a clue) True Element coming through
from the back streets in the shadows on an estate near you
single mothers drug runners people hurry for cover
cos its sister vs sister and brother vs brother
Chorus
Paranoia MC:
Milton Keynes is our city its the grid circle city
some areas are nice and some areas are pity
there's people dealing drugs mad people being thugs
pulling out there guns sending people up above
it aint about your money and it aint about your crack
it aint about the moves you make your asking me f*** that
I'll tell you the score bottom line harmony
no one gets along in our MK City
Chorus
