Lyrics

[Intro] Just in: Two founding members of the 1985 underground movement TCM, known only by their pseudonyms Chase and Halo, were released yesterday in Buckingham Town, together with known accomplices MC Iceski, Sin 1, Task, Chaos, and Quest. Also released, believed to be linked with the movement, were DJ Dest, CMD, Demo and Faze. There have been reports that DJ Spatts, currently wanted for illegal beat construction, has been collaborating with MC Iceski, the lyrical vigilante, and DJ Halo, the Hip Hop tactician Hip-Hop-tac-tician Hip-Hop-tac-tician Hip-Hop-tac-tician Hip-Hop-tac-tician Now, let's try a little bit of rhythm this time [Verse 1] Go, now revolutionary tactics, planned assault in criminal practice It takes time, time in the construction of the rhyme The Criminal Mind in effect Urban warfare, a lyrical showdown A rumble in the jungle means trouble in your town Out in force, stirring up the public Riots in the upsurge, things are getting hectic Take control, take charge in the commotion A strong island amid a human ocean Deploy the troops, spread the word, make the heads turn On the decks who's in charge when the wheels burn? My man Halo dropping the beats you know S P A T T S with the rhythm flow I'm on my own, 'coz no one can touch me The top killer Iceski the vigilante I say the word and the hit squad does form No need to say to my DJ: transform You get the order when you listen to my text Halo up on the decks get vexed, rock! [Verse 2] Go, now get the hell up, a great set up, tone flex to get up I lyricise hard, smash the barrier Energise sound waves, the rhyme carrier 'Cos TCM dictate with the vocals, call the boys, call the posse Hold the phone calls 'cos strict radio silence is in force No airplay to disrupt the battle course In full flow as we roll on to the scene, make some noise As we crank the war machine The site's set and the lines are drawn Time to choose between two sides, I'm torn Right or wrong to deviate from the programme Is no harder for you or the next man It's just a matter of pride and dignity Survival's easier in fiction than reality A known fact to every mortal locked in combat A quick slice to make sure that Your attention stays stuck upon the text Halo up on the decks get vexed, rock! [Break] Hip-Hop-tac-tician Hip-Hop-tac-tician [?] we did it Can you handle this? Are you with it? [Verse 3] Go, let's begin with the basics, Spatts, make sure the bass kicks Rhyme radical as the rhyme breaks through The instigator is the S to the TU This style is so contagious, outrageous it could be fatal Being realistic the ballistic could be lethal Calling all the shots, absorbing damage, staying intact Not pulling punches 'cos I like to cause an impact Remaining raw because my loyalty is hardcore Over the score brutal vocals cause an uproar You stay away from the radical extremities, left or right You know it seems the same to me Don't get me wrong as the world is full of colours Keep an open mind hear the voices of your brothers The world doesn't turn for a man standing still You get nothing for nothing is a very bitter pill For anyone to swallow 'cos it's hard to keep down TCM kick back with a snap back sound And the posse is dancing to the text Halo up on the decks get vexed, rock! [Break] Hip-Hop-tac-tician Hip-Hop-tac-tician [Outro] You're now about to witness the strength of street knowledge This is a test of the broadcast system Want you to know that [?] Good news, boppers, the big alert has been called off. It turns out that the early reports were wrong, all wrong. I guess the only thing we can do is play you a song
