    Story Behind the Song
    They certainly do know how to rock. We just wanted to say hi in a memorable way, so each MC drops the standard hip hop fare - battle rhymes - in their own, off-kilter fashion.

    Lyrics
    Jugular Vein
    The Sentinels
    The Lying City EP


    [troy]
    Ginzu Three
    making mc's fade like old jeans, selling they beans
    for cattle, when the snake shakes the rattle the tattle tales
    are getting forced to walk the plank,
    we stealing from food banks, fully equipped, we've got tanks
    for war, and semen in the sperm banks to generate more
    soldiers if the numbers get low, we blow the whistle
    kid, we're sentinalz, you're merely Cardinal Officials
    its all about my skills, I'm dealing cash money for ill shit
    with Shebang X writing cheques, we'll get Savage Poetic to bill it
    my linguistics factor weighs 10 tongues, Redrum is being served at
    the launch party, and tardy guests are gettin served asbestos
    I honeymoon weekly on the Island of Lesbos, I suppose, I do
    believe I've got crazy skill in droppin prose
    posers are getting sliced by my backlash once they see the
    Resurrection Brother, died and reborn as Ginzu 3
    those stagnant MCs pulling stunts and hard fronts, we let you
    escape once and now you're gonna get burned slow like blunts
    and cigar paper, light your ass up and transform you into vapor
    as they taper off to nothing we'll be off on another crazy caper
    another line of scrimmage, check me out like popeye, hyper off
    the spinnage on turntables, and weaving twisted fables to make
    ripples in the pond, mc's suck on rubber nipples till the milk's
    all gone, but not my ilk.....
    I represent dementedly, haltown CORRECT
    every box on the checklist is marked in blood with an X
    I flex like a fuckin giant, I cast hexes, I'm out of sync, profound
    like tyranosaurus rexes in dog pounds
    check this flow - "oh no, the sentinalz show up, we blow up
    like baking soda in H20", I thought you didn't know
    I thought you were saying something, but talk is cheap
    like thrills in the back of a jeep with the stereo bumpin

    [jeff]
    Savage Poetic
    Step inside the octagon if you don't know whose jocks you on 'cause
    Word is bond, I give the mic cancer when I put it on
    If you wanna battle, get in line, and mind your manners
    Snapping shots without a camera and I'm bad news like Princess Diana
    Body slamming all amateurs in my spandex outfit
    My flow is so def you want to tell people about it that you
    Don't even know. Blow up like firecrackers strapped to G.I.Joes
    Twenty thousand leagues, in the sea, down below
    I flow evil like Doctor Octopus, it's obvious that
    No-one's stopping us, we'll desecrate your populace, right on is
    How we dropping this, playing truth or dare but we in the lying
    City, my flow is so hot that you could start a fire with me
    You say you come strapped with gats, I say I come strapped with
    Giant squids, you say your crew's got raps, I say your
    Crew's a bunch of little kids. The Sentinels master their
    Domain with an iron fist, we're tireless, better than
    Letterman, plus communicating wireless, more advanced than rap
    We make music with smoke signals.
    Totally tight like gold-plated shingles, smoke the herb
    Because I like the way it tingles way back in my throat
    And also in way up in my skull, I'm from way out where it's
    Illegal to be dull, where firing squads will gun you
    Down if you're wack, I've been there and miles beyond but
    Last year I made it back alive and ready to use the
    Knowledge that I've learned to get funky like the worm with
    Endearment like the terms in the movie, high on doobies with
    Groupis in my hooptie, shakin' booties 'less they got cooties
    Now do your duty and blow me like Hootie blows fish
    Shoot the gift off the wall, past the bleachers, nothing but net
    Swish...

    [jesse]
    Maxfield Stanton
    Doesn't know how being wack feels, standing in the floodlight
    Taking out sucker MCs 'cause it's my blood right
    Bring on the girls for the mud fight and the sex later
    Security will escort you suckers off my escalator
    I'm saving the best for later, now is for practise
    I'm vanquishing villains with superpowers of wackness
    I emphasize the most important lines with a highlighter
    And cruise through outer space in my own personal TIE fighter
    ..Last week an MC who thought he was clever said
    Something about my mother, and now he's just a severed head
    I use him for bowling on Wednesdays after my drum lesson
    And his blood was the ink I used to write and sign a confession
    My sharp eyes bring objects in motion into focus, awesome
    Beats like this one get me open like a crocus blossom
    Your last hope is lost when you're up against Sentinels
    We have six arms, six eyes, three heads and tentacles
    We create chemicals in mad scientists' laboratories
    And I invite you critics to try and dis my oratory
    You'll soon find out that it's an extremely hairy business
    To detract from the way I shoot the gift like merry Christmas
    I'm very vicious, unscrupulous, capricious and ruthless
    I terrorize the mic and I have witnesses to prove this
    Clueless MCs should shut up, but since they're never silent
    They'd better move at least as far as Prince Edward Island
    Otherwise, they risk getting pulverized lyrically
    Which is one way to experience the afterlife empirically
    Drop the mic and pick up a guitar, join a garage band
    You've got no kind of substance, you're nothing but mirage and
    After that barrage I know you soiled your unmentionables
    Learn from your mistake, you can't foil the Sentinels.
