lyrics
Verse 1_
See Christ-like fly rhymes side-swipe your limelight
MC night life, mic fights, handgun and knife heists!
Eye sight – hi-rise flats and Dungeon Rat bites
So out of spite I ran white mice – back up in drain pipes!
Land mines like mine-shaft workers – mad, no human rights!
My Union strikes – looming like COSATU war and scores of Muslim lives!
When shooters arrive – swarming with Desert Storm pseudo-stripes
Looting like grave-robbers, campaign for Oil Price!
Crude barrels intrude cerebellums for the spice
Slaughter like ammunition blasting out of contraband –
Sort of like these massacres in Africa when I attack!
Counteract common wack counterfeit imposter cats!
Refrain_
When Kaptin’s on your track, you glory days are numbered – count on that!
(There’s only 5 fingers left!)
When Kaptin’s on your track, you glory days are numbered – count on that!
(There’s only 4 fingers left!)
When Kaptin’s on your track, you glory days are numbered – count on that!
(There’s only 3 fingers left!)
When Kaptin’s on your track, you glory days are numbered – count on that!
(There’s only 2 fingers left!)
Verse 2_
So cut the crap, you’re sucking ass – we’re suffering like succotash
No money-cash so we stay hungry as the Sudan!
UNICEF – too enept! Useless, clueless as a sleuth who slept
Rulerships grew rich but coups kept crews in check!
Who’d have guess the space cadet – Black Mark Shuttleworth
Would’ve blew the set from here to Budapest
Without a booster engine – leave your bubble burst
Even Hubble heard and seen me trouble Earth
Its ludicrous – but not Ludachris!
Cause nobody’s new to this – Hip Hop been Ben Sharpa’s usual shit sine the uterus!
