1: (K-Lash-Nek-Off) As lightning strikes and thunder the grey skies of east London town Prophecy K from the underground Signified by the people's cryin' trumpet Yeah, the system, it tried to shut me But I been on my ting before Onyx was flinging guns Blood, and tears for years Feels like my career's been in the dumping Yeah, this is how hunger sounds and I'm the now Lash the lion heart, A.K.A. the man behind the iron For ten years straight, been raising the iron bar Tryna breathe the life back into dyin' art So why try and par? When you'll meet the same as that lion Scar This is fake; full of two-faced lyin' ras Who would their soul and arse just to climb the charts Yea, but me, I put in too much in the graft Refinin' my craft for labels to sign me for a advance Picture K-Lash, mimin' on Now picture Dr. Dre lash rhymin' with Starks It's all and I got mine in my grasp all snakes, let 'em die in the past But who what the future holds?
