Akala Fire In The Booth 3 Lyrics
- Whoever's more human must have the right to do the abusing
- I imagine that means you then
- Or are you men just as clueless
- Foolish fools, thoughts of a tortured soul
- Bought for a quarter of gold
- One little sand nigger slaughter it whole
- Why not? They don't have souls
- They love their children less than we do so they are less than equal
- They abuse women so we kill them cos they are bloody villains
- That's right, we are the feminists
- For the women of the world, kill terrorists
- Liberate them from their burqas
- They feel more free with their children murdered
- I know that it sounds absurd but lemme explain it a little bit further
- We're so superior our missiles whistle until they tickle
- Little itty bitty grandchildren and make them giggle
- But their laughter sounds like screaming I told you that they were demons
- They pretend to be dead to make us feel sad
- Put bullets in their head to make us feel bad
- But we're never anything other than glad
- When those that look funny end up in a body bag
- But if a hair is harmed on Sally or Brad orEven a dog we cry like mad
- A dog is a man's best friend, not a girl
- Women are abused all over the world and children are raped
- Every place, every religion or creed or race
- Even fathers with daughters, uncles with nieces sweep it under the carpet
- Rape is a weapon used by power, and we don't wanna look like bastards
- So manufacture hero complex, a reaction to nuttin' more complex
- To organise mass rape in a state, don't wanna hear about mass graves
- Cos I hate to relate to a shade that's darker than you
- One that prays under a different roof
- Has less dollars or pounds, crowns or gowns or crowns
- Fill 'em up with rounds
- If they mess with the way that things are constructed
- Obstructing lines of production
- You can buy anything, liposuction, seduction, just buy it from us, men
- Buy lies, can't buy truthNo-one's selling it there is no use
- There is no customer base for the product
- We'd rather buy some celebrity trollop
- Cos our life is about getting one-up
- On everybody else that we pass on a come up
- We don't care what force bring the sun up
- But lie in the sun every day gettin' bun up
- Lie to the point that it's part of the culture
- Tell the truth it's only the result of
- A double lie
- Cancelling itself, their pride cancer in itself
- Cos virus is normality living in a world that is built on vanity
- More salaries, more calories, more thieving, more charities
- Picture a Moor on a horse with a chariot speaking some kind of African Arabic
- Teaching mathematics with Spaniard when maths had not got to Britannia
- Can you picture mind scripture
- Thats designed for the mind to enrich you
- Are you blind can't you find the riddim pratt?
- Cause your timing alignment is on crack
- It's hard to be as far off the rhythm as you are, it's like art
- Hard to have so little charisma, I swear that you try to be shit
- To make me look even better than
- Everybody knows that I am already
- I'm a pedigree that can't be touched like leprosy
- Have a rapper like The Beatles begging me to let it be
- And I don't need no referee
- I play the game on my own, it's my own sport
- And you can't take a king to his own court
- You can't take a king to his own court
- You ain't the throne sort
- You're the type to rap for five minutes
- And complain your throat's sore
- While I'm so sure that my stone jaw
- Is the coldest on road since '04
- But these silly little boys think their so raw
- Make a bigger bit a noise but we know you're
- You ain't up the game, you ain't match fit
- You ain't even got the brain for the tactics
- You ain't even on the bench you're a ballboy
- One lickle send out yout so just sit down
- I am the Big Mic man with the crown
- Super cat de pon sting with the sound
- Who are these silly little
- Wollies?
- Think they erupt with enough of the guts to be on it
- Their the version of me that I didn't wanna be
- I'm the coldest I wrote since Admiral Zheng He
- I'm the fire in the booth, you a wet rag
- You ain't the real ting like a step-dad
- I'm the best so rest where the rest have
- Don't big up your chest, let your breasts sag
- I'm the best dad look, I don't even beat my sons
- I let them shine
- Even when they got no talent to rhyme
- Insist on doing it all of the time
- All of my spine is re-enforced with a kind
- Of carbon that hardens the thoughts in my mind
- Of course you will find that I torture a line
- I'm born with bars, no-one ever taught me to rhyme
- The portion that's mine, don't touch it
- Furthermore, don't even discuss it
- I know that you heard
- Britain's biggest export is weapons of death
- That ain't a theory or a guess
- Take another breath and your country is next
- Unless you remind 'em whenever you're rhyming
- You're a beast on the mic with impeccable timing
- They will think you're in the league that I'm in
- But that is most absurd
- I Turn a Stanza to a cancer with banter
- For those between the gangster and a panther
- I know you seen me these man dem with their tantrums
- Like kids when I'm off on a tandem
- Cos they don't know what a tandem means
- So rather than use a dictionary they talk shit and badmouth me
- When I'm only tryina elevate your mind, G
- But I don't watch that the love is more than a grands worth
- You should see when I roll through Handsworth
- Elders see me, cross the road, talk to me and it usually goes
- We love how you bus up da ting, spread knowledge
- Bunfire pon them Babylon college
- We salute you, you're the future
- All the bigger man have time for them yout deh
- What I'm saying it that the respect's worth
- More than the chain on your neck
- When it's not that it's somebody's mum
- Saying that she feed me to her son
- Cos she wanna come get his mind out of the slums
- Akala is smarter than Arthur your dumb
- Regardless the bars are retiredly dumb
- What the raises and the raated a part of my lung
- Take out a whole clique that chat's do do
- Pic up a mic, we can see who's who
- I'm fire in the booth, you dry wood
- Your flesh best taste quite good
- So smart but he still move quite hood
- See him on the road but don't think that I try should
- That's a wise assessment, kind of like land is a wise investment
- Especially land that's recently blessed with
- In excess of one million deaths in
- And the castle you rest in, that's a next ting
- Built on the bones and the flesh of the wretched
- Throne that you pose in, only protected
- Cos we regret that only deceptive
- Things that we like, and only reject it
- When it feels like it's truth were digesting
- So get in with a blessed king
- Whose crown is the rounds that he fought
- Therefore you ain't gotta deal with the fraud
- Of all these picanees of whom I'm bored
- My worst, stronger than their best
- Aura alone stronger than their flesh
- All that they known can't compare to his guess
- Usually don't ever dare to spit next
- It's clear the reason is fear
- Even the worst MC has ears
- But we can't hear where the beat is
- The time is his flow with the kick and the snare
- When they hear me they know life ain't fair
- God bless some and some get air
- Like these conscious heads that cry
- That I get big headed and I don't know why
- Cos I, I have always been this guy
- Ever since mum sent for the sky
- I decided that that was too low
- So I'm astral travelling to another zone
- You won't ever get on the dog and the bone
- Cos I don't ever really wanna answer my phone
- Zone that I'm in is high vibration
- See the future with mind meditation
- Your peeps, poor libation
- For all the peeps that get above their station
- I place them in the right placement
- That is to say I erase them
- Ain't no-one above nor adjacent
- Still these mugs they want to get feisty
- But face it they don't really wanna face me
- I don't run so you can't ever chase me
- And I been through tings on the pavement
- But don't beg road fame cos I never made it
- My uncles, cousins and friends have done everything that yours have mate
- But I don't tell their story I tell mine
- That means I'm real and you're fake
- That said, I don't mind a bit of fiction
- If you did tell your story well
- But your raps are dryer than a dead man's top lip
- After six years of living in hell
- You meet a nice girl, you just might gel
- Might be wifey, you can't quite tell
- You know why? Cos the only bitch in the world
- Is a man and his ego he hides in a shell
- Mine is harder than my uncles foot back
- Who don't even need to wear shoes
- Who only eats pounded yam and stew
- With hands like a can on a man, I refuse
- Who said mum never raised no fools, your mum raised you
- You're a plonker, a plank, a donut, a tool
- You make me think that mother nature's cruel
- Then I get back and remember
- Life is a gift even when it don't look like it is
- And everybody thinks that they're cold in a booth
- Got no friends to show them the truth
- Put the pen down, become a spectator
- Go get a day job, there is no shame in it
- We need doctors and architects
- Not more crap rappers that are passed their best
- And if the cap fits you wear it
- If it fits your friend too share it
- I know it ain't the role of a parent
- To take my child's confidence and tear it
- But it is my role as a father
- To show my son about life and it's harder
- When you got a dad named Akala
- Those are big shoes to fill, be your own man
- Have you own plan, your own destiny
- Just don't ever mess with me
- Preferably bun these fools for their treachery
- Definitely those that put us in jeopardy
- Especially foes that wanna pose next to me
- Nobody ain't testing me
- It's the versatility that is killing them
- So road but I teach kids William
- Listen to my albums I actually write songs
- And of course the bars are brilliant
- We can do politics, spirituality
- Or real life road reality
- Or do this ting here with straight up vanity
- Either way, nobody can't battle me
- Much less shackle me, the maroon
- One man army, an entire platoon
- They're like "won't he run out of breath soon?"
- "How does he do that? Is he human?"
- Look man, it's the spirit of boukman
- Back in the flesh in a terrible crook man
- The law won't like me, ain't it obvious
- I ain't a paedophile, now a colonist
- I'm the MC that you don't wanna bother with
- To gauntlet is thrown down, who's crossing it
- Hmm, that's what I thought
- You can have your whole life to retort
- Still won't think up the things that I thought
- When I was age four
- Strach that before I was born
- In the womb when I was yet to be formed
- Before that in a past incarnation
- When I set fire to a thieves plantation
- Me and Sam Sharpe hid in the cane fields
- Two weeks straight totally stayed still
- With nothing but a blade of great steel
- Jumped on our enemies what a great kill
- Self defence is not violence it's common sense
- The first rule of nature, self preservation
- To let people kill and abuse you is just self hatred
- Turn the other cheek, why?
- No-one ever got their freedom that way, lies
- When the oppressed say an eye for an eye
- They talk this crap about the world goes blind
- Just don't attack us in the first place
- And everything will be just fine
- In the mean time train hard
- Read nuff, stay sharp
- And don't diss the sisters, are you barmy?
- You are putting down half your army
- Any evolution without the women in the middle is no revolution at all
- Trust me you could be back through them all
- Women were there ready to pop tools
- But we have become so cowardly that
- Rather than fight back we attack
- The only ones that ever had our back
- And that is a actual fact
- And I ain't saying that I ain't ever done that
- I'm just saying that it's time that we bun that
- So don't put my name in the same sentence
- As real revolutionaries, I'm offended
- Real revolutionaries spend their life engaged in revolutionary acts
- And as cold as I am on the mic
- Thus far, I just rap
- That said there is no comparison
- To cold for the way that I carry on
- These vultures feed off carrion
- Come along now, carry on, carry on
- Roll up roll up, two for a pound
- Bun down MC's bun whole sound
- Bun your whole clique I bun the whole town
- Take a stroll at the speed of sound
- Who said the speed of light was the fastest thing
- Never knew the speed of darkness
- A black hole absorbs all light that there is
- So how could light ever get past it?
- I studied the masters and sages
- Secret teachings of all of the ages
- I don't know, I can't explain it
- The knowledge ain't mine yet I radiate it
- It's why they write sixteen lines
- And I write an essay that rhymes
- And I never went uni neither
- But my mind works just fine
- In fact no need to be modest
- My mind's a fine instrument If I'm honest
- And I promise that I'll show you where the bodies at
- Burying MC's my lickle hobby that
- And MC's don't bite meThey ain't got the technique to even copy that
- I think I made my point
- In a manner that is more than adequate
- Let's put all the boasting aside
- I do know that I'm just channeling
- This thing, what is it?
- Inspiration, the source of the spirit?
- Not a man in the sky
- But a force that animates all things that are living
- Dali's brush, Akala's lyrics all things
- Ain't explained by the laws of physics
- Cos you've been down on your life
- Don't mean you'll ever be on top of it
- Cos for this force right hereThere ain't one that is equal and opposite
