A DARK COLD NIGHT [Hook] And on a dark cold night…Under full moonlight He flies into a fog… Like a vulture in the sky… And everyone please, not so fast There's something here, that you don't quite grasp Well.. I may as well give them what they want And the best I must confess I have saved for the last.. VERSE 1 (Rukas) Staring in to thee abyss destined force that travelled it Infinity kissed conception of thoughts immaculate Walking in the fog ignoring the clock Boring and not important to watch talking to God The father if… you’re in the flock but not apart of it Ya snoring and got just half of it your soft hearted kid Something this way comes for you Run you don’t know what to do Deceiving ’em a lot and then they I drop my tune and Creeping in the fog and with a doglike movement Leaving in the smog and I’m the top guy looming Bleeding in a coffin I will not die soon and I’m Even into mobbing and I’m weaving and I’m bobbing They believing I’m a God but then I’m not cry doom and Can’t stop my mooning on stage And they see that I’m not quite human, hey! I stalk the night hold a pen this parchment a verse divine I walk a tightrope the end is starting but purpose blind Something this way comes for you - run you don’t know what to do [Hook] And on a dark cold night…Under full moonlight He flies into a fog… Like a vulture in the sky… And everyone please, not so fast There's something here, that you don't quite grasp Well.. I may as well give them what they want And the best I must confess I have saved for the last.. VERSE 2 (Dekay) Black eyes sleeping, a violent smile slowly creeping Chastise heathens, a silent vile lowly reaping Bad guys unholy demons, he won't be leaving You know we need him The Anti-Christ bestows no phony healing\ You'd better go, your bleeding - control your breathing He could rip your fucking neck out at the moment though he's only feeding, There's no deceiving when you see him rise you hope your dreaming Die unbelieving to the soundtrack of your lonely screaming\ Your soul he's stealing and I've seen it cause the facts are plain, I saw him lean in when I died to be brought back again He sunk his teeth into my neck the thought attacked my veins After the actual pain the blackness came and I guess that remains...\ And now I shun the light I walk along the darkened ways My teeth like sharpened blades I pass the plague unmask the prey, Its harsh to say but my old human life weren't half as great Until I turn to dust I'll live forever then I'll laugh and say...\ [Hook] And on a dark cold night…Under full moonlight He flies into a fog… Like a vulture in the sky… And everyone please, not so fast There's something here, that you don't quite grasp Well.. I may as well give them what they want And the best I must confess I have saved for the last.. VERSE 3 (Rukas) The writer speaks jargon Bees darting Eve’s garden Trees bark in Fast forward Theban guards beat Spartan thieves bargain Noah's sons counts each Quark in the beached Ark and seas part and Though he hear the beast laughing? The piper breathes hard and keeps harping “let the priest mark him” A feast starting streets darken Please darling he’s starving she’s starting to see sharpened teeth sparkling Squeeze our enemies’ heart and reach the East star in The sky deep scar in the Night pardon my life… But this a real life scary movie that we star in Oh my, which part am I? Please darling I Play the chilling but major villain that made a million Hating children take the pilgrims to vagrant buildings to kill’em A cloak and a dagger immaculate style choking attacking the Magister’s child And I’m hoping to travel this mile and its open road and I’m packing a Dracula smile Something this way comes for you - Run you don’t know what to do

On My Own Verse 1 (Rukas) Eternal lust, in her arms you could turn to dust Confirm ya love but you can’t, earn her trust Falling victim to your lust and then ya fully crashing She says love is nothing but a chemical reaction And if she thinks ya buff dude with enough loot She’ll hug you but love you? She’s like “fuck you!” “Man you guys amaze me why would I forsake these Crazy nights of J.D’s for a life of babies I want five Mercedes that’s the price to pay” see? This girl, she’ll drive ya crazy On ya knee begging, the heartache and pain Stronger each second, ya can’t take the strain You think that you can it pal but it’ll linger, Men are wrapped around her little finger, Dead grim, ill, crazy crept in Till, the day she met him And she said… Chorus Till now… I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you VERSE 2 (Dekay) Yeah I know girl she lives like shes ready 2 die falling out da club & shit she just mew a new guy she never likes to mention love its upsetting but why? using alcohol & drugs coz its getting her by getting her high, no time 4 romantic gestures she’ll take u by the h& have a dance oh yes sure But confess your, love coz it wont impress her this girl dont want no pressure like man u guys are crazy why would I forsake these crazy nights of JD’s 4 a life of babies but despite that lately shes been crying lately coz shes dying inside while she smiles fakely yeah I know the truth though she lives just 2 pray 4 da day 2 escape all da pain when death takes her away maybe then she#ll find real love I hope that he’s waiting in heaven, I know that shes aching 2 say… Chorus Till now… I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you VERSE 3 (Rukas) Fuck the 5 Mercedes she’d be happy with a mini And a life like her neighbours Vinnie and Minnie Hides the jealousy inside, but inside the girl a secret lies Cries herself to sleep at nights Outside she never cries inside dreaming of a better life No guy has ever met her twice Keeps men at arms lengths refuses to hold hands Speaks French but can’t sense the moods of romance Mister right wanted her, then he bought flowers But her mind is on her work like twenty-four hours Oh babes wise up… Hardly ever smiles but when she does? Her whole face lights up Heard you got with Mark now going to bare his child Glad you let your guard down no longer scared to smile Hot food, a room in an Inn And got thru to the woman within, And she said…

BEEF IN THE STREETS THE 1ST BEEF - (RUKAS!) Tons of sirens drunks driving no one’s surviving Once violence becomes a science mums crying Sobbing their sons lie in a coffin a youngster dying I ain’t forgot’em, guns are firing Police want answers none supplying, London’s silent Someone’s lying, someone’s hiding or, someone’s trying You aint travelled enough dabbled in drugs battled in clubs Been shackled in cuffs so what you babbling bruv? On nights of passion guys are bashed in lives flash in Front of eyes, a nice attraction A hundred and five knife slashing prized assassins Come alive, and rise to action, run the lights clashing Please know we hate the cops on the streets nosy neighbours watch They wanna see the police negotiator shot What’s the reason for police? There’s nothing they can do and nothing MPs can achieve Beef in the streets! Chorus! Damn it’s hard to breathe in the streets And a part of me’s in the streets Man I’d rather peace in the streets There’s no love, but so much beef in the streets! Please promise me` the life i want i know there’s No peace on the street’ where i belong and no they Don’t teach honesty’ no right or wrong but yo there’s Beef…on… the… street THE 2ND BEEF - (DEKAY!) I know there’s beef in streets an i aint talking bout mickey d’s Youngsters in the bits are keen to cut you up like guillotines Skunk mixed with nicotine got me having sicker dreams I’m sick of these fickle streets never get a bit of peace My little niece got shot by a fiend just for talking grease I had to back it coz its deep, fuck calling police I found the skeez responsible before she spoke to me I broke her knees and left a signed cd so she know it’s me Sadistic poetry until the roads cement me My soul is empty so know not to offend me I aint got 10p steal ya money like mps While little yoots get shot on the block from envy Its evident, we need some more facilities Divided gangs are making war like their the fucking military Undercover sinners be, spilling blood invisibly And kids don’t wanna be doctors they wanna grow up to be killers see! THE 3RD BEEF (RUKAS!) The youth……always on the move What are we to do? …what are we to do? Ooh… Open up more day centres, play at tennis no more all day benders To stray offenders boredom is a great menace Mt mate kenneth had heart his fake tenners flooded black markets And now today ken is a mad artist Leave your pal and refuse that gallon of booze My challenge to you’se you gotta try to put that talent to use Underage drinking bags of stella Younger mates thinking that’s the fella, what can i tell ya? The youth always in a mood on the news Always on the move always in a feud on the loose What you wanna do? Confused no clue what i do? I get thru…to…you! I write a song!

LOST AND FOUND HOOK “Oh forgotten lonely son Hope I’m not the only one I was drowning heading doooown…Doooown…” VERSE 1 (Rukas) Found myself… below where the cowards dwell Powerless as well this how I felt out for just myself Hours in a cell twice a week cursing society Hurts and…worse Inside me is the person I’d like to be But he’s buried deep lurks inside of me warily Scared to see light eyes are very weak but aware of me Coaxed out with kind words where are we? So shall my nurse take care of me? I ghost out I’m cursed she’s scared of me Don’t shout? Fine first therapy No one knows how my mind hurts… terribly Blind purpose scaring me gotta recover God but I shudder Head peeping over the top of my covers…what did I stutter? “Oh forgotten lonely son Hope I’m not the only one I was drowning heading doooown…Doooown…” VERSE 3 – Rukas Guess I’m a mess and depression stressing lonely what can love me? Do my confessing in Heaven only God can judge me Phoney… rotten ugly to the core my souls stained “Your so strange Rukas and Holy water won’t change” What I want ya pity for? I’m Self hating and pretty sure Hell’s waiting I felt Satan tryna rid me of the Lord Fifty four knocks on the door who could it be? Who could look at me? What’s on the floor? Too good for me! Stick me in the gutter cast me aside a nasty guy don’t ask me inside better pass me by wait! Ahh see the light That’s when ya slender white hands reached for me As I remember…My future wife plans easily! Teaching me! CHANTING BIT…as follows… “Oh forgotten lonely son Hope I’m not the only one I was drowning heading doooown…Doooown…”

LIKE A MOTH VERSE 1 (Dekay) I’m yearning for the life that I lost, searching for the light like a moth Crack heads burning up the pipes in my loft Sending secret messages twice at night when they cough Get me high while I’m deciphering the findings I got Rhymings a lot, pirates on blocks A pyromaniac lunatic setting fire to the rocks Firing the shots* FUCK YOU if you like me or not An eye for an eye, I’ll strike you like a sign from the gods I don’t drink white lightning, I drink gallons of pure gin Pour in my throat and piss it back in my urine If bad minded people see your mad or your boring They'll walk all over you like you were laminate flooring Damn it I’m falling grab samurai swords And I’m warring with aliens from galaxy’s foreign This is Dekays world call it Planet Appalling I spend my time talking to inanimate drawings Trust me I’m mad reality’s overrated Get so frustrated when people go and fake it There’s no escape shit this city’s like a snake pit Where nothings sacred and everybody’s hated by somebody I wait for enemies to come for me Multiple personalities keep me company Been broke for so long got used to having nothing see.. I guess I’m comfortable living uncomfortably Dreaming of sick ways to get revenge with switchblades Tell you your dead in a week, kill you in six days Dutty like shit stains make it funky like Rick James Cut off your head in your sleep and get that shit framed Act normal? I’m not a fucking actress This type of madness just takes a little practice I cant get to sleep unless I back drinks And it aint because of all the springs sticking out my mattress I have nightmares sometimes I wake up screaming Seeing the face of dead people when I’m dreaming Hustling and stealing always plotting and scheming Tell me what peace is, I’ve forgotten the meaning HOOK IM YEARNING 4 THE LIFE THAT I LOST SEARCHING 4 THE LIGHT LIKE A MOTH Never been accepted my skeleton is rejected heroin is injected My parents didn’t expect it but everything is just hectic From the cradle I peep, afraid of noises But wasn’t able to sleep without hearing the sound of raised voices They capture thieves but quickly the judge breaks The snake catcher leaves the city too much snakes Snapping like alligators trapped in the valley of traitors Retaliators’d gladly betray us and sadly today it’s Suicide squad’s aeroplanes from the bluest of skies drop And smash thru the highest of blocks Judas lies because he knew his life would’ a been lost Crucified on the cross and who can describe gods Plan I knew a man of the cloth that threw aside the cloth… Like “damn, why’d I choose the side that lost”? Be certain It’s like the moth When it finds the light The light is hot it can’t bare it Yet it keeps searching

I aint got time Verse 1 - Rukas So sit tight on the adventure train and See that boy Rukas reinvent the game and He got the whole agenda changing Remember that when ya playing him Can’t even keep his temper reined in Too late evil then became him Ooh then people then proclaim him A masterpiece you were meant to paint him They sent many men to tame him A renegading angel they sent to chain him Then came Kane tryna bend my brain in I aint ya brother, friend I aint him! But I’m able to tend the flame in My membrane till none of them remaining I end ya pain when I’m entertaining I then remain king! I aint got time For no clubbing with girls And I aint got time For loving myself And I don’t have the time I’m stuck in a spell Oh yeah and I aint got the time for nothing else So I just give’em hell! Verse 2 – Dekay I'm too crazy to leave the house Even the mad voodoo lady screams "Leave it out!" I don't breathe I shout obscene and proud They tried to seal my mouth but syllables keep on seeping out!\ I cause scenes in crowds type of chick to beat my spouse Like "Stop freaking out we'll see who's fucking bleeding now!" And my ex-boyfriends a cheating cow\ I'll cut his feet off stick them in his lying mouth and leave him kneeling down\ Its Dekay bitch look at my face Causing Rukas motherfuckers came to pick up the pace Other rappers too basic I'm sick of this place I might be short but you'll still get a kick in the face, Mate!\ Blad I ain’t got time Angry like my mum when she ain’t got wine All that's on my mind is writing rhymes And I ain’t gonna stop till the world is MINE!!\ Verse 3 – Rukas A liar is spawned In the eye of the storm Savage fire is drawn A rap messiah is born The sky it gets torn When I perform on the stage Born and raised in the dawning age Storming the gates, with dormant traits Born crazed like motherfucking Norman Bates Down in the lakes look a Haunting takes Place, from the grave I was formed in rage Yeah No time for no warm embrace Yeah No time for no morning grace When I’m busy tryna shake off the morning shakes Hitman! Rukas! Dekay! Born in space! Look out the Celestial Swarm invades It’s a warning mate!

Life’s graphic Life’s graphic, psychopathic type characters Guys that live inside attics, mad because Prized habits make’em cry savage, ice addicts, Hide stashes in the streets? Fights clashes Innocently disguised madness besides average Subliminally price captures eyes lavish Hypnotised masses on the rise fascists Strike Catholics, white hoods with eye patches Knife slashes what size? Massive Six inch wide gashes life flashes he dies tragic Wife scatters Mike’s ashes outside Paris Nice Parish despised marriage to dry Sabbath Jesus Christ raptures on its way Skies black as Nights as is Wise magicks, recognise that is Science backwards Assumptions of life crashes, The lie shatters what the fuck? Life’s graphic Ayo lifes graphic, like a novel thats been animated Quite tragic living in a hovel thats contaminated I light matches as I'm sitting on my white mattress I might vanish and all that you'll ever find's ashes/ Im stuck in this part like a stereotyped actress, But I'm savage I damage lives on the right passage As I write passages these hard guys are quite flacid My heart aint bitter its alkali like acid/ I grew up, in the place with the knife clashes Where little boys just grow up to be some wife bashers, And women spread their legs like rashes, If you ask em why you can see it in their eyes just how tight cash is,/ I'm an alcoholic I dont give a fuck, Even though it's killing me still I know that I wont give it up, You tell me lifes graphic, yeah is it fuck If you looked into my mind you would see that I aint living bruv/.

about

“SO UNDERRATED is the brain Child of Rukas & Dekay. Written and recorded over a 4 year period, Rukas & Dekay have worked on many songs together. It was only until a fan suggested it would be cool to have them both do a collab album that the project happened. Rukas & Dekay, being very forward thinking and generally excellent examples of perfection and the ultimate pinnacle of mankind's every fondest yearnings, decided that this was actually their idea first, and so stole...err.. That is to say...took the idea back from said fan...and proceeded to execute this dashing, masterful plan of action, with utmost panache and supreme confidence in their superhuman otherworldly rapping abilities. As a intense connoisseur of hip Hop for 20 years now, I can honestly say hand on heart, and without an inkling of a shadow of a doubt, that these 2 London Lyricists are, well...quite frankly the bloody best there is at what they do dash it all! And if I say it, then people had better pay attention or...or...err...or, or they will have missed what I have said. Yes, yes that's it. But I digress...In the entire world, what other rapper can bring it raw like that young Dekay? yet at the same time with delivery of such delicacy and control... and in terms of coaxing emotion from the pen she grips so manically, none can touch her. Look at her go, the plucky young Skamp! I say, good show dear, jolly good show, what what. Rukas also brings his own to the table, with his much vaunted mirror writing, a style of rap named by Dekay on a cold dark...Autumn’s morning. Rukas liked the name and decided to take it. And he did. Yes, Rukas take's it. Ahem.. With his over the top borderline psychotic obsession with making more and more syllables rhyme in a sentence, it beggars the questions..."WHY?...and WHEN will he STOP? And most importantly, did he (as rumours from reliable sources state) make a deal with some Demon from some long lost archaic Nether-World to become this skilled? These and such others are questions we hope this much anticipated album will answer…”

“I have had the...experience of meeting these 2 pen smiths myself. Dekay I met while minding my own business walking through Camden Market with my 2 and a half illegitimate children, trying to find a suitably large pot and hardy scrubber for my stay at home mail order bride whom I purchased from Thailand one...hot sunny night. Her words to me were “BUY MY CD MATE” when I realised who it was, as I am a keen avid follower of Don’t Flop Battle League, I know I know, and what would the boys in the country club say eh? Hah! My little guilty secret, it makes me feel like I am “one with the cool kids you know? Really down with…err..streety stuff….cough…ahem yes well, as I was saying, I said to her, “Oh hello Dekay, yes, I’ve actually gone to a number of your performances, and have gladly purchased all your albums. I have them at home and in the car and I play them all the time” As I said this to her, I could not help but notice that although she was looking right at me in the eyes…she seemed to be…looking through me? I can’t describe it…She didn’t seem….regular is the only way I can put it. Some time passed. And then some more. She was…shaking her bag of CDS and..well..for lack of a better word, brandishing one of them at me. A little frantically I might add also. Just as I was about to ask if she was….okay, she said to me in a very friendly tone “BUY MY CDS MATE” Okaay…I thought it possible perhaps she did not hear me the first time, as it was in the middle of the market and a lot of noise going on. So I repeated loudly for her benefit, that I had indeed fortuitously actually already purchased her albums, and that they had a place of pride at my abode. She was silent for about 37 seconds, and as I was about to break this rather…intense uncomfortable silence with some placating innocuous comment or other, she again said “BUY MY CDS MATE! …at this point I realised there was indeed something very, very wrong with this young lady. I slowly, slowly backed away. Her eyes never left mine…not once. In fact on recall, I did not actually see her blink once at all in the 5 minutes I spent…conversing with..err…at her. I turned around when I was a good safe 30 yards away and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw that she was still staring at me…right in the eyes…and repeating the mantra “BUY MY CDS MATE, BUY MY CDS MATE, BUY MY CDS MATE,” I looked around to see if anyone else had noticed this extremely…odd behaviour, and improbable as it sounds, it was like they were all used to her!Upon closer inspection, I saw to my utter astonishment, that every single person, had a Dekay album in their shopping bags or hands! I felt…something very fundamentally wrong change in me that one fateful encounter. I no longer go to concerts. I no longer go out at all now. I have Tesco deliver… Everything. Still, there are times when one cannot help but to go out on some important errand or another, and On the many, many times I have encountered Dekay over the years…no words on my part are needed now. I am now the…proud owner of 87 copies of her albums. Yes that’s right. 87 COPIES. OF. EVERY. SINGLE. ALBUM. SHE. HAS. OUT… sigh…I don’t really listen music any more…

Rukas I met while I was helping an old lady down the escalators. He seemed to just abruptly ‘Appear’ in front of me! As I was assisting sweet old Miss Mavis and trying not to stare at her rather disconcerting and oversized wart, which by some ill luck was located bang smack in the middle of her eyes… I mean mathematically right in the middle. How can you NOT look at it? oh, sorry I do go off on my little tangents do I not? (Titter) (Snort) Now where was I? oh that's right. One minute I was staring, I mean looking at sweet old Miss Mavis from number 23, when suddenly this desperate (and frankly quite peculiar) character was in front of me. I was about to ask him to kindly move aside as I was helping sweet old....well, Mavis to get down the escalators, when I glanced over the tanned oiled shoulders of this young ruffian, and with alarm realised poor old Miss Mavis was crashing down the (dangerous sharp made of metal lot of edges) escalators in free-fall, head over heels. To this day I still do not understand how that could have occurred, as she was at least 10 foot from the stairs. Ah well. It was at that point that this fellow, well...aggressively invaded my personal space, and shouted in my face "GIVE ME A WORD THAT RHYMES WITH ORANGES!!!!!!!!!!!" I was...a little bemused, not to mention alarmed at the ferocity of what was just a simple question., And wondered why the answer was so important that it would render the asker like unto a blood crazed raving lunatic…I told him that I wasn’t aware of any words that rhymed with ‘Oranges’ and at that point he completely flipped out. He came up to me nose to nose, all purple faced literally frothing at the mouth eyes bulging and shouted “YES! THERE! IS! WARRANT THIS, FOREIGN KIDS, POLLEN IS, TORRENT PISS, SOLEMN AS! GOD YOU PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK!!! SICK!!! USE YOUR F*UCKING BRAINS NEXT TIME OKAY? F*UCKING BACKWARDS INBRED TWO BOB C*UNT!”

…I was…a little perturbed at this point. He started walking away from me…backwards…and he seemed to be making peculiar noises as he did so…noises akin to…well…a baby lamb? I don’t know what to make of it to this day. But before I could ask why he was walking and making noises in such…a weird off key manner, he promptly lost his footing and fell. All the way down the escalators and landed on top of sweet old Miss Mavis! Last glimpse I ever got of this complete an utter raving lunatic was him shaking her viciously and shouting “GIVE ME A F*CKING GOOD PUNCHLINE! RIGHT! F*CKING! NOW!! GRANNY!!! THAT HAS 11 LETTERS IN AND HAS 23 SYLLABLE’S IN, AND YOU’RE ONLY ALLOWED TO USE SOUNDS THAT HAVE THE ‘S’ SOUND IN THEM! OH, AND IT HAS TO BE ABOUT THE COLOUR BURGUNDY. YOU HAVE 6 SECONDS! DO! IT! NOW! GO!!!!!”…I can say with the utmost confidence that I have never encountered him again. And My last closing word would be to avoid him at all possible costs. Ignore anything he has to say. He’s… not all there if ya catch my drift.

Yours faithfully,
Rukas ‘2013
