Time To Build |
And entered into a pact with Blade and his lyrical madness |
Nobody knows what’s next better than sex |
The text connects leaving all competitors vexed |
And when you least expect it we wrecked it |
Target inside the aim is directed |
Eclectic took years to perfect it |
Relax yourself, a mirror image reflected |
I ain’t Dracula but spectacular |
When the missions complete we’re back to the basics |
It’s better that you face it |
The ship sank they raised it and the praised it |
Whoever you are whatever pile your on |
Hold your head strong it won’t be long |
Before your recognition is delivered to your doorstep |
A late birth and delivered with forceps |
Forced but better late than never |
So now it’s time to sever the ignorant from the clever |
The journey is a hazardous one but we can hack it |
Life is a test in itself but we’ll smack it |
No holds barred the times were hard |
But the rhymes were harder than the times and left you scarred |
Can you feel it, it’s like groundhog day |
Where everything’s the same it’s all repeated |
You can have it, if you want |
If you want it bad enough then you can get it |
Don’t sweat it, just let it |
Take control of your soul and let it roll |
As the story unfolds, the prophecy is told |
We go for gold travel on cruise control |
Oh what a feeling in a world as cold |
And you can act the act but if you lack the knack |
Then you won’t be back again and that’s a fact |
And yes we react with the style in tact |
And after that there’s nothing but the aftermath |
You can think whatever you wanna think et cetera |
It’s nothing words from a no good competitor |
How can you compare a champ to a contender |
How can you put up the hunted against the predator |
Time to move on build the skills |
Time to elevate and never stand still |
Time to excel with no time to kill |
Time for progress it’s time to build |
What we’re doing is brewing a storm and you can tell |
The world stood still on the day rap was born |
A million and twenty thousand emcees emerged from the pit |
From the depth of the earth with no form |
Everybody’s a rapper every rappers an actor |
Every actors a rapper with no heart and a chapter |
When it began it was like mud in the hand |
Some tried to mould and others couldn’t give a damn |
But now it’s all changed and everybody’s a fam |
Even the head of Sony now has got plans for bat man |
Change his mane to rap man |
Put him in a mask and try to pull it off like he’s been a rap man |
For twenty years since the days of Melle Mel |
With a minute to gel, make it easy to sell |
And we can run in the past or we can move forward |
We’re here to sell records I don’t care if you know it |
Blatant I like it like that tell your mom |
Blade dropped another lyrical bomb, he’s on with Herbaliser |
A unit and a half of production team |
A band with Will as the adviser |
Energise like tizer, beat baptiser |
And I’m wiser than I used to be |
