Its On You Lyrics
Year of Release: 1999
Intro
- I'm sick of hearing people say how they got everything going bad for them
- and how the world's against them and how the whole scene hates them
- and how it's holding them back, boy you know what...
Chester P:
- It weren't me
- It weren't the TASK F.O.R.C.E
- It weren't the Mud Fam, the Bury Cru or Mark B
- So I run around town searching for clues
- And all them people losing touch bredrens it's on you
- I'm a drill a bray the Milky Way for trying to operate a scam
- This is an expose resistance makes a stand
- Who do you think we are some fly by night militia
- Just take hold of your positions the storms about to start
- And you ain't never gonna make this cos it ain't in your heart
- You piss take and get taken over real sharp
- I hope you followed the description of my story so far
- Cos we ain't operating petty over wars and feuds
- So at the end of the night bredren it's on you
- It's on you bredren so what ya gonna do
Chorus
- MC's it's on you
- DJ's it's on you
- And the man's making beats for their crews it's on you
- It's on you
Eno Red Rum:
- For those who boost their skills with their clothes
- For those who run stagnated rap flows
- It's over when Eno screams Red Rum
- The rhythm murderer smashing verbal rockers on drums
- Practical production over flowing instruments
- Desirable finales that remain your only influence
- Ripped from my inputs your about to be buried
- In the graveyard under moonlit cemetries
- Your decision is to tearaway like delinquents
- Put aside your insolance for some hard spoken militance
- Dominate civilians with minus a millions
- Operation get a slice of the pie and stay high
Chorus
- MC's it's on you
- DJ's it's on you
- And the man's making beats for their crews it's on you
- It's on you
Farma G:
- It's on you with no blame being thrown off the stage
- It's on me when my rhymes broke down yesterday
- I'm saying it's on you to accept reasoning way
- It's on you includes those who love to lay the blame
- I've heard rappers excuses of why they can't make it
- And producers say that our rappers are shit
- But it ain't down to you to give hope and new improved
- It's not just on me it's not just on you
- I'm saying when I pull my weight dreams start to come true
- If you're wack it's on you don't blame the world for your failure
- It's all down to you whats gonna make ya or break ya
- It's on you bredren how longs it gonna take ya
Skinnyman:
- There ain't no finger to point no name to call
- If anyone's to blame for our downfall it's us all
- From wack MC's confused about their identities
- To journalists in magazines saying you'll never cut the cheese
- There's things to be considered within the industries
- Of A and R's who's only concern is making the G's
- Take the art form take it apart from the norm
- Add their little bit of booj cos their whole plans to chartstorm
- Box and MTV are best to pull up their socks
- Cos fake man with all awards we're gonna knock off your blocks
- So all the fake groups pulled together by those A and R's
- Filling your heads with how they'll take you make ya into stars
- Shooting videos with bimbos and hired out cars
- Getting down with media hypenitis drinking in the plush bars
- That's the promise but not your artisticness to flourish
- Cos when it does they'll shelf you and say your music's rubbish
- And this mud overstand bogus operation
- Of the one hit wonders claim to be the latest pop sensation
- Now I'm gonna do whatever I want to
- To make myself follow through cos the rest is on you
- It's on you to kids with those sprays on trains
- Tagging mud fams name to help our shit maintain
- It's on you to kids in the record shops
- Keep it real and spend your money on the British Hip-Hop
- It's on you to DJ's on Rap radio's
- Who play our shit on their shows to make sure everybody knows
- It's on you to recognise exactly what you got
- Even though you might of thought that it's not WHAT!
Chorus
- MC's it's on you
- DJ's it's on you
- And the man's making beats for their crews it's on you
- It's on you
Chester P:
- All you rappers, DJ's, producers, breakers, taggers
- All the elements of Hip-Hop must strive together to be alive together
- Because basically it's on all of us it ain't on one of us
- It ain't on the Yankees to lead the way
- It's all about the UK it's on us today
- It's on you
Farma G:
- Yeah it's the Task Force
- It's the Farma G and Mr Chester P Hackenbush
- Eno Red Rum, Mark B
- Big up to Skinnyman, Mongo, the Bury Cru
- Yeah Mr Thing on the cuts and DJ Vadim
- Big up Jodie Green and all mans supporting the cause
- Don't put this shit on pause
- This is the K'Boro shit, ninety nine lick
- Get ready cos we're coming
