Talking Turkey

about

Pedro Gordo's hypnotic guitar riff inspired a dark hip hop backing mid cypress mid wu tang, and then inspired a ferocious flow, 1 verse no chorus, sprinkled with some high level cutting and scratching this track is one of our best

lyrics

Stop your shenanigans, models mad mannequins
Time to be a man again, the debt that you ran up in
Battering, ram ‘em in, dam it what’s happening
The flat where I’m sat up in, the neighbours dog shat again
The rich gonna rule again, the poor will be fooled again
Line ‘em up, roll ‘em in, six billion souls within
Dollop up a dolloping, eat your soup and wallow in
The misery you’re following, the money’s up, the dollar’s in
The shallow and the deep, got your own arrow to keep
See the shadows of your feet and the barrels that you reap
So steep like the slopes, go to seek out your hopes
Gotta teach from the ropes, don’t sleep on the hoax
As he chokes on the last word, folk song he has heard
Joke’s on the bastard, tokes on the lab turd
Furthermore forever and whatever you endeavour
Get slapped by the leather, helm back by the weather
Get the cheese, get the cheddar, and wherever and whenever
Catch, trapped in a cellar, the almighty make it better
Check featherweight, bait, change state, but I’d better wait
Just let ‘em bake, better day, get a getaway
Check mate, stale mate, stale bread, rat bait
Dangle on a hook, mad to gamble on a book
And the angle undertook, overtake, shake, shook
And the scandal broke out, broken in, spoken out
Like a spanner in the works, claw hammer go berserk
Just drag you in the dirt, with a dagger in your girth
What’s worse? Pit of rattlesnakes
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, ready when the battle breaks
Time to make the tackle mate
Pass on the message, got another can of worms
Stand when the weather turns, see another feather burn
But the mother never learns, mind your biz it don’t concern
And the hand you shake firm is a hand full or germs
Handling things with these mandolin strings
And the fiddle violin that the wild wind brings
Step, swept overseas by the oceans of yesteryear
My fossilised remains just wonder what I fester here
My birthday suit, tailor made, head shaved, razor blades
Youth just fade away, how’s it gonna play today?
Thinking how wrong you are, can’t sleep insomnia
No matter how strong you are, the song outshone you all
