Artist Discography

Blade:
I woke up in the mornin’ to the sounds of a clock tick
It drove me kind of crazy somethin’ like a lunatic
‘Cause I couldn’t get to sleep the night before
There I was thinkin’ with the world I was at war
Every move I made they were watchin’ me
No mercy, no future, you ain’t touchin’ me
I grew up kind of quick with the rebel mode
Washin’ the dishes, makin’ wishes hit the road
Plannin’ every single step that I was takin’
No fakin’ and all of that shit I was shakin’
Off of my back now it was weighin’ me down
From city to city, from town to town
Sick of havin’ nothin’ but bread for dinner
Born a winner but back in the days I was a true sinner
Soon I broke out of my shell and hell I raised
And stayed away from all x-rays
I knuckled up, pulled myself together and
Became a better man
Rougher than ever before, people didn’t wanna play
In this to win this, amateurs stay away
Away, away, put it to rest
Put it to rest, and I feel possessed
Not by the devil but by the Almighty
For those who might be tryin’ to hold me back you might be
Beaten and thrown in the river
Thank the lord, the Giver for the LP I deliver
I used to try to figure would this ever get completed
You bet your life, why (‘cause we need it)
Alright for those who recognize me
For when I was Merlin MC here’s a reminder
Known for the B E A T (……) B O X
Next then I start to flex
The muscles on my lip, take a trip, flip, get a grip, grip
Get a haircut you hippy
I got a brain that be solid as a rock
And I couldn’t give a ‘f’ about the new kids on the block
Or markie mark in the parky park
And Hark the herald as I step in the darky dark
Since I was a kid I was an mc villain
Never ever been into murderin’ or killin’
But I’m a hard-headed, single minded label owner
Gifted like Maradonna, you’re a gonner
Bust out the lyrics and I come like Al Pacino
You’re playin’ like you’re blind and you’re deaf you don’t see no
Evil, hear no evil, whatever suits ya
Everyday I’m thinkin’ of the future
But they be sayin’ that I gotta have mercy
NO mercy – no future

(8th Jan 1993)
