Braintax: Original rules, new school tools What we use, when we fuse Original rules, new school tools Let me talk to you about the tools.... Yeah I feel that, you must be talking 'bout real rap Less jiggy beats and more street-crowd feedback Less heads checking for me, think I don't know that? Less club appeal, more depth and more impact I stay me, like "Fuck the rest" What you need to learn is sounding like yourself sounds best Such as, Supa T, Profound and me Lewis Parker, El Dolo, we create for free If you wanna give me money then of course you can I'll go and buy myself leads and a microphone stand Go buy a pop shield, so I don't have to use tights And Joe Meek it up, make my voice sound nice My 1680's got three types of lights - I use the red ones when my rhyme's precise Once I turn it all green then I start to mix My ASR-10's deep and I know a few tricks Like *funny sound* , then change the disc React quick to my zip, my wrist blurs while I pop shit Professionally, but I'm not trying to compete So you can keep your trainspotting and your secret beats I like to use effects, but I don't over-flex Sound overproduced? I keep it raw like vets You think I'm funny? Cos I make money selling wax Then I spend it all on records just to make more tracks ---------- Break ---------- It all started on the pavement, breaking, dual-tape taking Thats how I began, just on a Sanyo creating Taping beats by the speaker Pause now and add another bar meter, was 10 one hour later but I had Lyrics going off like fireworks Got my first analog synth and went berserk '87 was great, I'm on the Casio keys With one second of sample time, trying to loop beats With these preset rhythms that I can't really get into The Pro 24 got us making beats you step into With double sided discs, the X7000 was like heaven - Now we definitely housing Self taught, whatever we found stole or bought Just apply it to the mix and let the sound contort On some B&Q, Homebase, mix-type theology Always writing rhymes about spliffs and gynecology I'm sitting back in Physics and I'm looking at the clock Hearing bpm's for ticks, writing rhymes on tabletops At lunchtime, blagging time in the music section Taping sounds, violating copyright protection Tools mate, gotta give me tools to build Once I get my studio my first dream's fulfilled After that, we start moving on the mansion and the yacht shit For now just give me Pro Samplers to chop shit Tools, Black and Decker owners look jealous Staying minimal, embarrassing the simply over-zealous Got my head on, and that's my best tool and my computer Computers? My crew's got much more computers Old school like Ataris and a 64 Commodores sampled back then, now it's Ron Law's You think I'm funny? Cos I don't waste money and I don't front And cos I'm not a trendy ..... And I'll give em what they need with the tools I have Panoramic brainpower and some thoughts to grab I'm not mad, I'm saner than a Buddhist with a modem Natural skills with future tools, let me tell you about....
