Mark B and Blade - From the Word Lab Lyrics

While you party your ass off we work our ass off

To give you something to party to, take your hats off

To beats that Mark created

We're happy that you made it

To witness a performance that you'll never forget

From the United Kingdom, to auditoriums

All around the world

People are spreading the word

Tell 'em we're coming, emcee veteran gunning

For profit and gain, my mission to entertain

Crowds that fell asleep waiting for something deep

The wait is over and finally we're here

Arriving in chauffer driven hired vans at jams with hired hands

A backing vocalist, a dj as the band

I told you I'd be back with venom

Sending 'em to hell and back

Any doubts you had we're ending 'em

With the swing of a pendulum, defender defending 'em

Rules we're bending 'em, mixing and blending 'em

And all in due time everything will be obvious

The story is plain as your nose, We'll be victorious

Anticipate the return, listen and learn

Wait your turn, this is for all concerned



[Chorus]



While you party your ass off, we work our ass off

To give you something to party to, take your hats off

To beats that we created, we're happy that you made it

To witness a performance that you'll never forget

From the word lab to the streets of Japan

To the streets of France, to the streets of Amsterdam

We gain critical acclaim, critics are tamed

Aware of our names, we returned to re-ignite the flames

Recordings are delivered on schedule

The album is completed and original

Now all that remains are the dates to be confirmed

The press to be informed because it's critical

Ads in magazines that could spark off our dreams

We're keen to be heard by any and all fiends

For rap beats taken from back streets

And brought to the forefront to stand face to face with the elite

The heat uncontrollable, too hot to handle

The record a demonstration of skills that cause scandals

The media tracking us every step of the way

There's a time to be serious, a time to play



[Chorus]



This is for the listeners, lend me an ear

The exhibition is on

Beats are fresh, vocals are clear

Lights low, deliver my flow nice and steady with impact

The deeper the better the contact

In fact, the organization is intact

It's hard getting the breaks but cool since I been back

Now that I see that you're ready, it's time to unleash

The beast deadly with a mic but still friendly

We been around for a while undercover with live

Performances a rarity, time for change

Rearrange the plans, throw 'em off the scent

Stand firm till the end, make way for the men

Here we come again, able and diligent

With styles magnificent, our rise is imminent

Soldiers in a game with aims in a higher plane

Remain unchanged by the hands of fame



[Chorus]



Yeah

From the word lab, to the streets of Japan

From the word lab, to the streets of Milan

From the word lab, to the streets of Iran

From the word lab

To the streets of your land
