RAVEN JAK - RAP, MC. FREESTYLES

music and lyrics composed and written by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)

instrumentation performed by Raven Jak (Jack Timothy Oake Randell)

only in Britain could you find a bit of intolerance to the people who can't muster up a glance their way
talk about making their day - well what about mine? don't it work both ways?
only in Britain could you find a person paying for a cab-ride home for the homeless - and even now and then, when, the sun does shine, 
you take another slice of American pie
only in Britain would you rather be smitten when you clearly find that we've all just bitten off more than we can chew with a few teeth left
cleft-pallet for a government is best
only in Britain does have a nice day mean 'F***-you-very-much!' for the common display
say what you mean and mean what you say
you don't do much of the Irish way, do ya?

do you think of these?

well you should - you should it's good for the blood
and too rai yay and you'll drink up in the mud
if you could you would you'd drink away the day
and too rai year and your fear is far away
i said too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here

only in Britain could you stand in line with the 'slowest moving part of a cornish tin mine' (Jinge) and he says quite nicely 'things are looking pricey...'
'how long were you down there for?'
only in Britain are you more infamous on the bus, cussin' at the old-boy making such a fuss on the back-seat isn't it a repeat of a Friday night when you're always right?
Only in Britain could you find more than 1 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 cameras on your back-side at a time
isn't it fine that the line was crossed in an instant blowing up a mind
Only in Britain does 'have a nice day' mean 'F*** you very much!' for the common display
say what you mean and mean what you say
you don't do much of the Irish way do ya?

well you should - you should it's good for the blood
and too rai yay and you'll drink up in the mud
if you could you would you'd drink away the day
and too rai year and your fear is far away
i said too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here

(lead solo)

too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here
i said too right here and your fear is far away
your tears and fears are far away from here

they're far away from here

Will Power

Concerns of the world, A sarcastic back hander to the banking system, and how much we are enslaved by a money-fueld capitalist owned society, exploiting sweat-shop workers, tearing apart the o-zone layer, playing huge war-zone games with countries of people being slaughtered and made to starve, bleed and suffer by the doings of those of the rich

DEMO

how much is a flight to the broker's ball
scar up the ocean air is all
how much is a taiwan toy these days
sweating on the floor well we can't have that
so whats the price of a flight to london if you live in birmingham
whats the score with the economicundrum
solve it by a motto of 'Yes We Can'
yes we can conquer poverty by making more money
we can find the faith from the milk and honey
why dontcha wake up and wipe all the sick of your shirt
it's another pantomime about selling the earth

yes we can add another dead brother on the list
when it comes from the banker's heart unto his wrist
and their hands are on their hearts solemnly swearing that you life
to play a part in their game was well spend from the start

how much is a drive to the corner shop
about quarter of a gallon of seventeen families blood
can't stop it if they would
talk about progress for a bowl of peas
well up comes another saviour brother leader to wrap up all the wreckage and fix us all
doesn't really work that way see cause he is in on the big fall
for the right to the pint you're drinking right now it should be sinking in
"it's not about the money, it's about sending a message"

yes we can add another dead brother on the list
when it comes from the banker's heart unto his wrist
and their hands are on their hearts solemnly swearing that you life
to play a part in their game was well spend from the start

A story based on a blues song written by Amie Randell

In no way shape or form does this song reflect the writer's opinion on small animals, No animals were harmed in the making of this song

I woke up one morning and got out of bed
and i stepped on a hedgehog and thought it was dead
then in the end it is this that is what was said
i hope you're in pain boy oh i really do
'cause you flattened me like something under your shoe
and when i see you again mark my words true
i'll snuff you out with my whole hedgehog crew son
he limped out my doorway and rolled down the stairs 
now i'm really worried i'm pulling my hair out
a foot full of spines and a feeling of pain
rode to the cafe had no-one to blame
pulled out my wallet and bought me a coke
and i couldn't tell if i was part of a joke
a gypsy a farmer and all kinds of folk were there
well i guess its safe to say that we were scared
the gypsy began with a story that animals all live in fear
and as i was sat on this rickety chair i wondered
what do they fear most?
so he continued i started to calm 
when who should roll in with a very big army of friends, acquaintances, motley crew,
eyes and spines directed at you
didn't quite know what the devil to do
well if i was you i'd make way for the hedgehog crew...
and that crippled little hedgehog with an evil grin was there
he pointed at me yeah he pointed at me
the fury in his beady eyes shone brighter than the brightest skies
he pointed at me yeah he pointed at me
and they all ran at once and the farmer started to scream!
spines they were flying all over the place
cries of the women reaching for their mace
aim it at them please not into my face
i knew what i had to do-oo
i got stuck in with a leg and an arm
intention was never to cause any harm
i lost my temper, sound the alarm!
boy, those hedgehogs flew...
the dust it then settled how i was appalled
at the rodent limbs sliding off all of the walls
i picked up a table, a chair and a stool
invited the gypsy to play me at pool
now if you're thinking that that was the end
of the war on the hogs, it's nice to pretend
my foot is now healing and back on the mend
the foxes and badgers are safe again...
a week or two later in front of a paper 
a nice cup of tea and a piping hot pizza
a hedgehog broke in with a magnum 9mm!
he said all predictably "You're gonna die! so listen up punk, say your goodbye!"
I over-reacted threw pepperoni in his eye
the critter was angry and rightly so for the meat on the go
i was brought up to know it's not right to fight the slow
when all said and done and you stop having fun
and a rodent creeps in and starts waving a gun in your face
pull out the blender, turn the blighter into paste
