Tenchu ft. Gabe-Real and Jawbone
Yeah, i'll admit Playstation improved,
come visit feudal Japan with me and Tenchu.. Beat: Alchemist
Honky Rap, dropped over various instrumentals, with minimal production. Lyrics are well written, poorly recorded, and delivered to you the way that music ought
Marcynic is the 2nd stage evolutionary step for a central cali emcee who is continuously trying to upgrade the skills. With politically driven lyrics sprinkled with hypothetical battle punch-lines, you can laugh your way through all of the tracks, as you ask yourself, 'what makes this guy think he's nice?' Then when the answer becomes apparent, you can go make a sandwich, with real sand. Bitch.
Story behind the song
We arrived in the studio, agreed on a song premise, chose an instrumental, and quickly wrote our verses.. Within an hour, we had written and recorded our verses, but the process of synching the vocals in the instrumentals was what took the longest.
This song was done in mid-2002
Lyrics
Gabe-Real:
When push comes to shove, i fall from the sky,
i'm death from above, and i don't ask why...
a merciless killer like the cold hard flesh
im the silver, on the neck of a greedy drug dealer..
Then i fade back to black, because
my lords castle's under attack
so i take my Katana right off the sword rack
hunger - i'll suffice,
enemies eat my poisonous rice
droppin' from a roof-top with a single slice,
im the wrath of heaven,
since i was just age eleven...
i kill with the holy mark of seven
evil ninjas steppin,
got caught guessin,
cuz death is a blessin,
i'll give it to you freely,
but you'll never see me,
im just too damn sneaky...
Jawbone:
As i pull tight my hood, and slide on my wristbands,
my fists begin to grip my sharpened fans...
i join up with two friends from two different lands..
we're on a mission with swords as our petition..
inflictin justice on dictators, i creep in stealth,
droppin rice that's detramental to your health.
Leaves of grass let me appear in close range,
i slice the throat to silence the pain
My feet glide over the dark red tiles,
shootin darts dipped in poisonous viles...
i leave colored grains in piles,
Lorg Gohda has sent me to erase my enemy..
i swim through the moat so the dogs don't get a scent of me,
my grappling hook flies freely, until me and a tree meet,
all in a days work,
dying is a con, but killing is my perk...
Marcynic:
Stay away from the dark, cuz its the shadows that im lurkin' in,
feeling the heat, like a furnace gives..
As i enter the second floor window while armed gaurds can hardly see the curtains shift,
i try to do the right thing with all my earnestness,
as puritans get killed by my skill with the shuriken..
A lonely road for the gaijin,
strollin' alone along the mountain tops across the path of the high wind...
I've been roamin' as a ronin,
disowned from the town
for trying to take back what was stolen..
took complaints to the high council,
doubtful he'd be conrollin' 'em too,
i never thought the powerful grip could hold more than a few..
but now that i've seen what it can do,
i ran him through,
Stealth Assassin...
Justice is served in the form of a Tenchu..
Justice is served in the form of Tenchu..
