lyrics

Verse 1

Check the plastic, that’s what you waited for ain’t it?,
Pictures were painted before the scene was tainted we made it,
Alphabetically, grammatically and poetically, superior, so the inferior,
Couldn’t get near to the, dark hearted individuals, living with the residuals,
And now the time has come for us to bid you all... a fond farewell, from where we dwell,
we had to sell ourselves up the river, so we could deliver the bigger
figure, but we be digging deeper than the sleeper,
the grim reaper creeps to the bottom of the stairs but who cares?, there’s,
a lot more out there to be explored and we haven’t ignored, so please climb aboard for your reward,
bored to the maximum, relaxed to the minimum, witness the rhythm we’re giving them,
it will be hitting them... exactly where it matters, and that is,
in the backs of backstabbers and then back chatters that’s at us,
because tracks are torn to tatters when we can get access to the facilities, but when we can’t,
then there’s nothing to be recorded, there’s no reward if, you could have scored if, you had the
equipment to make the shipment to the door of, the record shops, where the hip hop drops,
and young hearts stop when they hear drum fills and rough bass drops,
that’s got more props than a temporary structure,
but some couldn’t conduct the orchestra if they were taught by the leader,
you need to be a believer, to be an achiever, and Sheik’s got the skills to be like either, so weave the,
threads of the fear and the dreads, and blood shed, left many men dead, yet what was said,
may not have been the answer to the question, so please let me make a suggestion...
many of them are claiming to be supporting us,
but they’re not supporting us with the financial rewards that we need, it’s not about greed,
it’s necessity, we can’t afford to keep pressing wax if, the fact is,
you’re playing the parts of actors and are too scared to back us,
so get the fucking plastic...

Chorus

“Check the plastic, that’s what you waited for ain’t it?,
pictures were painted before the scene was tainted we made it”

Verse 2

And now the business is getting serious, curious, making us query this, when we were near to this,
You ran afeared from this, But still I insist that we’ll be coming and going,
forever growing with the portfolio of styles that were showing,
You’re knowing the answers to the questions before they’ve even been asked,
so don’t try to take this task to task,
Living a life unmasked and open, collect your token, and pay your damages for what you’ve broken,
You must be fucking joking if you’re thinking we’re going to make a departure,
because we only start the... Irreversible, tide that’s unturnable,
manuscript unburnable, inflammable, lessons are learnable,
We can’t see any cash being earnable or being received until all the costs have been reprieved,
And we’ve seen the seedier side of your senselessness,
Still from a distance we observe your defencelessness, and hence it is,
A movement in the right direction, when we can make the proper connection,
Sections, are getting sown up, I see all the children have grown up, so please like leave us alone but,
We can’t be held responsible for your illogical behaviour, from the minor to the major,
you never did us a favour, so how can you expect one in return?, sit listen and learn,
to the concern of the darkest turn, turn of the darkest, so witness the way that we start this,
spark this, heartless hearts of darkness mark this... point or geographical location,
and it’s a painful situation that we’re facing, so please don’t be placing your perplexity next to the,
despisers of that ecstasy, vexed we be, in the extreme,
I believe it’s easy for you to understand what we mean when we be saying,
We’re not gonna be laying, down all our principles, even if you’re paying we’re staying,
True to the game that we’re now playing and ayeing, and furthermore,
please observe an attitude that’s raw, or feel the power of words never heard before,
We score, before we reach the goal, and I can see the keeper or the sleeper and he’s losing his hold,
As was foretold by the four fold equation, so pay heed to the words of a dark persuasion,
Staging things drastic, I asked if you backed it with tactics, check for the plastics………………

Chorus (to end)

“Check the plastic, that’s what you waited for ain’t it?,
pictures were painted before the scene was tainted we made it”
