10 Mans

You don’t ever wanna rattle my cage
Because if you wanna come and battle up on my stage
You better send all your best emcees
Cause you will see I got all the powers you devour
Step up MC NUMBER ONE, I take him out for fun
I make him & the floor parallel cause my style carry well
We excel, & we tell, that we cause hell
When we unleash shells from the clip and get sick
Send forward MC NUMBER TWO, you know what I do
When I come through with my crew, listen up!
I side step & then trip him up
Fix up, I kick him enough before I pick him up
Send me, emcee, NUMBER THREE
& you will see, I be Kray – z - emcee
I grab him by the neck, you think I ain’t got intellect
Don’t disrespect or my fit will connect
I pull him forward & head butt him in the face
& leave it distorted like a speaker putting out way too much base
I waste, no time when I shine
I grab MC NUMBER FOUR, & I get hardcore, I just
Bust up his legs, now he needs cloths pegs
along with stitches in order to stop the bleeding
I saw him reading dictionaries last evening,
Believe you me, seeing him bleeding was relieving
Dig MC NUMBER FIVE with big fuck off knives
I use Edward’s scissors, at the speed of blizzards
I play you just like the wizards and the witches
When I trick you out of all your riches & take all your bitches
My mind switches to MC NUMBER SIX
I drop six bricks on his back increasing the risks of slip discs
Grab him by the hair & drag him across the floor
Like when you get married, & the cans on the strings get carried
At the back of the car, that’s how we are when we spa
I take him so far out of reach like a star
MC NUMBER SEVEN, he went straight to heaven
Didn’t get a chance to sin, cause when I begin, I win
I skate with NUMBER EIGHT cause it aint too late

for him to challenge, I leave him totally off balance
His acting like his drunk,
Because I’m the one here talking non stop like a punk
Mother fucker wanna track me down, you’re a chump
Like Chris Tucker, in Jackie Brown in the trunk
Of my car, I drive him to the other edge of town
& I drop him down,
He’s in the sea now, & you see how,
I bring up MC NUMBER NINE…
D… d… do I stutter mother fucker?
When I say… I do the crime
I just, run into a shop, & take a Lucozade
for which I never paid, smash it over his head
because you know what? You know what?
I’m a fucking renegade
I proceed to degrade MC NUMBER TEN
When I say my friend “do you wanna challenge?
Or do you wanna go home & tell your friends not to fuck with us”
I just took out all your nine friends, and then...
I just bend, all your fucking visions
of how you thought life might be, you see
I be the Kray – Z MC, just left you,
All on your own, & now your single
& you can’t mingle with anyone
Because we just fucked up your crew for fun

Strangers in the Night

VERSE 1

I’d just finished off my Curry & Rice,

And I admit, yeah, It was nice

I’m a Redbridge geezer, I built up twice,
Opened the Fridge Freezer, & put one on ice

The time was about 6 P M,
I had to meet my boys at 10

I sparked up a J as I left the East end,
& finished it off when, I arrived at Big Ben

Right in front, Sun’s on the Horizon,
Behind me, the night was rising

I was out in the streets without realising
I’d left on my bracelet where thieves were enterprising

My jewels had already been seen,
By eyes, Lean on green

I was blatantly playing the Guillotine,
I shouldn’t have responded when he asked me for Nicotine

He capitalised & asked for a light,
Surely this cant be right?

Figures started appearing in the gloomy night,
& the message in their eyes was “you and me fight”

I was outnumbered 10 to 1,
"Damn, what have I done"

I was surrounded, and I couldn’t run
All I could think was “I wish I had a gun”

___________________________________________________________________

CHORUS
Strangers in the night…

Wanna come and fight…
They don’t even know me. . .
What do they think they owe me ?

Chill Grizzly, This world is Crazy

VERSE 2
Doing a favour for a stranger,
Could lead to danger

Giving someone the Benefit of the Doubt,
Could lead to all of your benefits being drained out

Anyway, Back to the story I started,
Trying to avoid getting clarted
I managed to break away and departed,
But they all gave chase, cause this town’s cold hearted

Finally lost them later than sooner,
I Hid behind a Laguna

Accidentally made eye contact with a Space Cruiser
Full of thugs and losers, all Drug Abusers

They’re stepping out looking for action,
I couldn’t handle their faction

The knife against my arm gave me a bad reaction.
I had to grow balls, one by one I sacked ‘em

Dispersed from the scene, half jacked,
Thankful I didn’t get smacked

I lost my mobile so I can’t phone my pack,
There’s nothing left to do but turn around and head back

Returned home like a True Leader,
Restricting blood from my seizure

I got to work with a needle and a tweezer,
As I chilled on the spliff that I left in my freezer
