Gentleman, Freundeskreis, Mellowbag - Tabula Rasa Part I lyrics

What absurd strategy is this?
Send down a handful of warriors
Let’s see if their blood is
The same color as ours

Watch me appear on the field
My mission is to chill
I'n'I think 'bout the vibes and
Not about the dollar bill
I been busy on my rhymes
Put some on a layaway
What makes me happy like caribbean
Carneval on labour day i love my mama
The hip hop shit we kick is thick
And if you trip you jealous
Motherfuckers get the dick
Cause now we kick in the door
You never heard it before
Raw battle reports is what
Ambassadors stand for
Making rhymes not war, droppin' lines
But don't sniff 'em
I'm chillin' with my man Max and
Sékou with the spliff an'
Reminisin' about the time the
Flow used to rock
But '98 it's mellowbag and freundeskreis
To tie the knot blowin' the spot - what -
Makin' hip-hop what it is (ha)
First's supposed to be the fun
Then later comes the biz
That's what it is when we droppin' part two
It's undisputed rebel troops achieving
Victories for you
Jus' for you and your people
The queens and not the cheap ho's
Commons not Deebos
True friends and not the fake bro's
We're in it for the love what
Is deviding us from many
Breaking thru like Shaka Zulu for the
Heart and not the money
What 'dem wann' do for stop (pin) you
Mephisto can't strike we down
The rebel (will) come through
What 'dem wann' do for stop you
When your're under your meditation
And look through

What is this, a game?
For the lack of a better word, general
We call it war

We kick that progress report consort
To make it happen set up forts in foreign
Lands expand for everlasting
The fam span across the atlas like diasporas
Escape from out the grasp ot
The most wickedest captors
Hear the laughter of the Czars
In the dark like Nabokow
Rebellion Coup d'Etat - shit is raw
- cut they heads off
Those who were lost floss now living lavish
Destination be the pastures of
The city of Nazareth
Catalyst the revolution move the
Troops from out pollution
Mobutu citizens get the boot
Right in they asses
Ambassador status bring the loot
Back to the masses who live like hostages
The system be abusive like
The music business is
We exist in the abyss but
Images be marvelous like novelists
Picture this like hieroglyphics on
The fines papyrus
The world is ours but is devoured by the hour
Spread the scripture like egyptians while
The wicked spread the virus
Through the lies I realize the
Righteous bare my likeness
But they spite us so let the weak recite this
Sow my seed amongst the captives let
The fleet complete the cypher

What 'dem wann' do for stop (pin) you
Mephisto can't strike we down
The rebel (will) come through
What 'dem wann' do for stop you
When your're under your meditation
And look through
What 'dem wann' do for stop you
Mephisto can't strike we down
The rebel come through
What 'dem wann' do for stop you

Block the enemies ships
(or lock the enemies shields)
Hack holes in his (or this)?plaque?
And aim for the heart

Auf dem Kilimandscharo des Rapszenarios
Spiel'n wir das Business wie Super Mario
Ob Popcenturios in HipHop Studios - was
FK is' furios wie Julio Iglesias
Ich ritt den trojanischen Gaul
Im Blendwerk der Hölle
Sah die Fäulnis des Biz
Blieb im Sattel wie Paul Schockemöhle
Ihr nehmt Rap wie Ödipus-is
Ich mahn' Plattenmultis wie Mullahs Rushdie
Im Jahr 20 nach Guevara brach es
Aus uns raus wie Lava
Wir nahm'n uns Land wie der
Sand in der Sahara
Mach' Tabula Rasa wie Kabila in Kinshasa
Mobutu MCs fliegt zum Mars wie die Nasa
Euer erster Gehversuch war 'ne Bruchlandung
Jetzt holt ihr euch'n Reimebuch
Aus der Buchhandlung
Doch Freundeskreis reist und bringt
Den Virus wie Fernfahrer
Immer wenn es regnet zähl'n wir Sterntaler
