Lyrics written and performed by http://steveguzzi.newgrou nds.com (remove the space in the URL).
Track produced, mixed, mastered and scratches performed by yours truly.
Big up Guzzi (aka. stephanosgnomon) for the really awesome lyrics, and the TIIIIGHT rap-performance! GIVE THE MAN SOME DAMN CRED!!!
Didn't quite get the bass to sit as tight as I wanted it to, I might get back and remaster this track at a later point (fact is I only slapped on a multiband comp + three stereocomps + a limiter on the master, so it's definitley not properly masterd...).
Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy this track. And if you think that I've messed with the vocals too much... well screw you, I gotta have some fun when I produce, right? :)
Software used:
Reason 4

Lyrics:
deeper again it's Steve with the pen
making slaves to the soundwaves the speaker'll send
..c'mon Vik, drop the bass and the beats
made to rock their faces and make them stomp their feet
again getting deeper bottom of the sea creepers
it's a Guzzi and Rucklo MP3 to your speakers
for all these new creatures controlled by the sounds
who evolved fins to feet to roam on the ground
moving around and zooming, getting down and grooving
Steve and Vik, yeah we see the key to being human
...it doesn't matter what them other cats is doing
rather YOU keep YOUR thunder track steady booming
the tale is old and worth it's weight in gold
and many have died to see its secret scrolls unfold
while others sit and mock the invisible plot
but start seething at the teeth for the beefing that they got
like, "why me?" -- cuz you take it lightly
it's why I came to fry all your brains with light speed
please stop acting like a barrel of crabs
all you crabs in the barrel who just babble and spazz
see, some of the last come first and first comes last
whether it hurts you the worst or if it makes you laugh
and that's a fact... sometimes a painful one
trying to maintain your path after what they had done
save it son, no need for your defiance
I break the walking of the road down to a science
although I spit it bold upon this mic appliance
recognize that I stand upon the shoulders of giants
growing older, microphone controller
y'all are shallow at the surface, floating like protozoa
so, I'ma drag y'all down to the depths
wrapping concrete blocks all around your necks, yes
I'd rather catch some wreck than cash a check
encoded message text told me which step was next
so, take a guess, it could be your very last
as the path to your future begins with your past
