The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK, or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands. Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, the North Sea, the English Channel and the Irish Sea.
The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. There are three devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in Belfast, Edinburgh and Cardiff, the capitals of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. Associated with the UK, but not constitutionally part of it, are three Crown Dependencies. The United Kingdom has fourteen overseas territories. These are remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in 1922, encompassed almost a quarter of the world's land surface and was the largest empire in history. British influence can still be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former territories.
Child keeps its toys hidden away
Till it wants to break them
Take your share and go away
Make sure you get the last word
Sit back out of harm's reach
Watch the little cup of poison
Chasing its own tail around and around
Until it's exhausted at its wits end
United Kingdom
I try my best I wait for you to nail me
Now I try and never do
Anything they tell me
'Cause waiting about an inch
Under human nature
Tragedies and comedies
And a touching sense of failure
United Kingdom
When you held me in your arms
At the limits of your patience
I knew I'd always lose
Every scene of violence
When you held me in your arms
Why didn't you want me
When you held me in your arms
Why didn't you touch me
Well I used to know how
To slip through your blind spot
And now I just watch myself
Set the alarms off
I'm happier now in my shame
And don't look to you for anything
There's a gang I've just joined
There's a gang I've just joined
Three million strong you'd agree
Four million strong you'd agree
Enrollment was easy, so easy
Getting out proves to be the difficulty
From land's end to john o'groats
From land's end to john o'groats
They are making ends meet
Mending holes in their coat
Fasting and feasting on bread and margarine
Burning dreams build upon buried hopes
United kingdom - you'd better ring them
You've a solution - you better bring them
United kingdom - united kingdom
You've a solution - you better bring them
Opportunity, I guess they all came and went
Finding it hard
Finding the rent you'll find it funny
With your finger running down
Situations vacant
In school he was an athlete
Now he's not so self-assured
"after all of these o-levels is this my reward? "
There's a silent majority, that's seen and
Never heard from charles i, charles ii
To charles iii
United kingdom - you'd better ring them
You've a solution - you better bring them
United kingdom - united kingdom
This busted, rusted, upper-crusted
Bankrupted done and dusted
No-man-to-be-trusted united kingdom
Proud to stand beneath the union jack?
Happy dealing up a no ace pack?
Polishing black boots
Priming the riot squad
There go I but for the grace of god
Covering up the agony with mindless entertainment
You'll be happy when they're ripping up the pavement
Bringing down the axe on steelworks and foundries
Someone said love knows no boundaries
Close your eyes and think of england
Lie back and think of her
United kingdom - you better ring them
(Intro: Hell Razah)
Yo, son, I've got something to tell you. You know what I'm saying?
Because when you're going to be a great speaker. You know what I'm saying?
A wise man told me to be a hero of your own tongue. You know what I'm
saying?
(Dreddy Kruger)
True indeed, I hug tracks like my seed
Aside, wack MC's do me nada
King Soloman the great came to evaporate the hate
Yeah you, you know you're power-u
You recoginze the voice but it damn sure ain't Kru'
(Timbo King - Royal Fam)
Intensify the pressure, my swordsmanship rules the globe
With ancient war strategies, signals from royal coves
The golden, chosen, tribe from Medina
United Kingdom, righteous leaders
The queens greet us with peace
My east ages style conquers Greece
(Hell Razah - Sunz of Man)
We drop the jewels that make the world know... Kings
We drop the jewels that make these MC's... vibe
It's the King Constantine from the Maccabees, what?
United Kingdom, now build or destruct
I cuff my handcuffs, there'll be money to discuss
This poor Sun of Man used to rule like King Tut'
We could battle til you're bankrupt, fill your tank up
Come and see me from my practice, the young baptist
With a gun under the mattress, to burn my matches
When the war comes dont look for faxes, ashes to ashes
We're jumping out of car crashes, feed the masses
(Snuggle-Up - C.O.I.N.S.)
Yo, the read up will keep my stee up
I be the Snugg-Up, yo, shut up
Your quarter, illusions, contusions
Confusions, so I ask what are you doing?
Calm down that booing, 'cause what you thought wasn't amusing
Coins, different personalities, make you burn calories
Once I finish you, the signature like an art gallery
Got batteries in his back, but it wasn't a new pack
It's like a car with no gas trying to go real fast
I'm letting you know from the ghetto, MC's you'll be petro
You'd better take the metro, before I'll give permission to let your
Ass just chill and stand around me
And If I didn't, I'm admitting, I'm a Coin MC
And to the tower we'll be doing this naturally
Because you devils keep trying to white castle me
(Prodigal Sunn - Sunz of Man)
Yo, I watch an adversary come before me
With imaginary mind stories, call me the god of glory
Son, you bore me with them sob stories
Stationary in my sector, sipping nectar
Mental perfector, light injector, the star catcher
Stay stimulated, updated, rated in my climbinghood
You read the stative, frustrated, haters up to no good
You wish you would, could, never understood
The facts of life, get your shit right
Be the first to lose your windpipe
Trying to fight the Brooklyn Knights
You get blown like the kite
When I strike that ass with light it's similar to dynamite
I'm in or out of sight, MC's taste of Fright Night
I'm like that Ike and the Tina Turner, carry your burner
(Chorus x4: Hell Razah)
United Kings making power moves by all means
The truth is the proof to see clear through all schemes
(Outro: Hell Razah, (Prodigal Sunn), {Snuggle-Up})
What's up? You know what I'm saying?
The fake-ass niggaz. Mooncycle.
You know what I'm saying?
1998. Brooklyn Zu. Word up. (the Fake Apostles.)
When we drop it's like a bull drops. {Rose Family.}
All y'all niggaz is waiting for.
(Begga Clan) You know what I'm saying?
Father Lord. Peace to the rest. Word up.
(U.K.) You know what I'm saying?
(12 Jewelz. U.K.) You know what I'm saying?
San Diego. It's how we're doing it.
All you wait for in Bethlehem. Brooklyn it is.
You know what I'm saying? And we're out. Word.
[Intro: Movie Sample]
Beware the beast man for he is the devil's pawn
Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust greed
Today he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land
Let him not breed in great numbers
for he will make a desert of his home and yours
Shun him for he is the avenger of death
[Chorus: Timbo King]
Yo, Braveheart, verbal courage, battle the seminar
Royal Fam Legacy, watch us travel far
Positive energy, always corrects errors, Royal Fam rulin this
Now and forever, what
Play your part braveheart, play your part braveheart
Play your part braveheart, play your part braveheart
[Timbo King - Royal Fam]
Orotorical, niggaz is metaphorical
My editorial breaks down your monuments historical
Geologists studying land, using the earth's crust
Measurements, eight elements, atomic weight plus density
Hi-Techs, science, thrustal gravity
Revolve around my oro, I'm the soul that keeps spinning, what
Supernova, black quasar, my mental radar picks up
Frequencies way beyond the earth's equator
Forver glow, electro, magnetic force field
Thoughts build, we bomb for real, 36 still exists
Golden fist, your caught up in the devil's mist
Fire war, royal sire laws, revealing this
Protons, electrons, atoms cause explosions
My center of atraction, I'm the nucleus, you're frozen
My square be complete, architectual, visual
The sound spectrum strikes the mental then the physical
My perimeter damns your diameter
Bar codes are scanned from America to Canada
What, from America to Canada
(Intro: Timbo King)
United Kingdom... the UK
We're bringing fire war
To those that oppose against the chosen
(Timbo King - Royal Fam)
As the sun rises, heat rays strikes the light geysers
Vision makes me see all snakes through their disguises
Who's the wisest, you'll be under, we'll be overstanding
The four devils don't exist in our cipher
We have to fight you, free from dumb, true and lighter
Knowledge provider, my limitation is above water
These are the days of the last quarter
Staying in tune, observing all aspects of life
Intelligent minds building electrical powerlines
Magnetic attracts metal made of steel
Disconnect your internet, burn corporate seals
Islams is shield, when we fight against satin
Allah you Akbar, time for revelations
I'll bomb nations who deal with paganism
False teaching, were here to civilize a whole region
Right and exact, my brain contains inner, outer tissues
While you be popping pistols, we be launching nuclear missles
Crimson Tide, we react like Denzel
Murder verses creating more bars than in jail
Inhale and exhale, we prevail
(Snuggle-Up - C.O.I.N.S.)
Money, you stole my rhyme, so why dont you just confess?
Your mouth will say no, but your body will say yes
Your ears'll say i heard it, your feet: "I brung a beer"
The angel'll find you quilty and award me the mayor
Internal flowing on a mountain thats blasted
So, cry for your lives and the fight is everlasting
Freeze, repent ladies and gents and save your spirit
'cause once judgment comes, I aint trying to hear it
Suckers say, "aint nothing wrong, love is something long"
But nowadays hit the wrong button and your gone
Its written and caress about people having sex
If your holes too big, uhh shorty i'll renig
A fig with milk, the Eifel Tower tilts
To roast MC's thats why the Coin MC was built
My grandmom's took a whole year to sew a quilt
It read, "a hard head leaves a soft tale"
So, when you cheat, you get a beating
I hope it rings a bell, one, two, I know you Power-U
This is a message to you and you and you
(Timbo King)
What? Yo
You fake moves like you play chess
Off with your head, yes, striking at night with a army vest
Test the mic with words that's scientific
A chemist in a laboratory building off physics
I break you down, chopping you up in small pieces
My flows updated like pants without creases
Heat releases when energy is conducted
A forty block radius, the castle is constructed
My fam's loyal, we stay royal just like Egyptians
I slam like Islam, my knowledge brings wisdom
I bomb you with plutanium, mixed with C-4
F**k up your route and lane with a detour
You rap peasants, you dont impress my intelligence
Off with your head, pawn 4, no type of evidence
Case closed, legally, we be regally
Catapults hit direct, destroy the scenery
(Outro: Snuggle-Up, (Timbo King), *Killarmy sample in background*)
(What?, destroy the scenery, what?, y'all don't want it)
You know what I mean?, my man Kruger's even here
All of my other family's here
You know who I'm talking about... the real cats,
the real kings, the real Gods, y'all dont want it
U.K., U.K., we're gonna bring that in, y'all,
for the '98 and on, and on, we're gonna bring that in, y'all
U.K., we rule, we're taking out your kingdom
What?, for real, everything is ours
U.K., '98, word is bond
Peace to the Gods and Earths-Queens
Midnight Mass a yellow moon
Wonder walked from my window
Now she sings a different tune
Golden tunes, out of the blue
Now the sky is clearing
Looking through her crystal eyes
Waiting Windows loom before hre
Cutting her back down to size
The thing she's searching for is
The only thing she needs
Gazing in simplycity
toward ambitions that she craves
The best thing since Arithmetic
MBB's and current raves
Now the sky is clearing
Looking through her crystal eyes
Waiting Widows loom before her
Cutting her back down to size
The thing she's searching for is
Creamed-up kitten screaming for her next injection
Dead dog in the driveway - protein intection
The most exclusive restaurants have a few uninvited divers
Don't worry if you're under age - they've special schemes for minors
Caesar's Palace blues
You lost your shirt on your last hand, you nearly sold your shoes
You came up tumps last weekend so you've got to pay your dues
Cards fall, faces change, Cat's cunning shows
Same rules still apply, either way you lose
Caesar's Palace blues
Lovers on the carpet, Cupid's dream for certain
But there's always someone hiding right behind the hotel curtain
They've cameras in the casino and bugs under your bed
But all the gold in Reno couldn't bring old Caesar back from dead.
