we found this club on a side street but I was kinda iffy we could hear some fly beats, but from outside it looked shifty I said this to pressure just before I finished my sentence This bouncer came out and dragged us both through the entrance This guy was huge and I was stumbling with my speech I finally mumbled that we just stumbled in from the street He said to us: so finding us was accidental, well im not surprised we don’t advertise at the Sentineal he said: whats your name, he said Pressure I said Suffa he said: join the rest of the suckers so we went right in, we sat right down Pressure said: I guess ill get us both our first round
He had to go downstairs cos the bar was underground He came back and said: man these are the cheapest drinks in town I agreed, yes indeed, we could be here all night Theyre only charging a buck fifty for imperial pints And im feeling alright, this place in kinda cool man And im hoping tonight, nobody acts a fool and Ruins this vibe that I got going on and Knowing where I am, but the jams growin man this spots blowin The ladies were hot, I sat down and listened To the 4000 watt in-house sound system The dj was laying tracks, people getting on the floor, Then he played a crazy break…and the chorus went:
Come right in, sit right down, join the rest of the suckers Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baat the Sentineal x2 Ba ba ba ba ba x4
These dim lights holes, silhouetted figures fit in tight moulds This beers ice-cold, yeh we’re goin be here til the nights old I might stroll, see what I can find out but I wonder Do I feel up under or is that the drink pullin me under A strange feeling, this place got my brain reeling Move up n see a picture at the bar, people up on the main ceiling Through like a broken dream Im walkin through a smoke machine and In the corner scene it broke free around a smoke screen Sat down, looked at the picture on the bottle label Was the same man in the street as I turned n took my table And as he licked her thighs I saw that glint in her eyes The wristwatch upon her waist it had him hypnotised
Then she kissed him goodbye, threw me a smile and a grin My reply cut me in bomber hand right on my chin Walked to the bar as the tender looks right through me I said Excuse me, he replied I tones as if he talked about me not to me, He said: welcome to the Sentinel, I hope your stay is perpetual We serve drinks and broken dreams but no edibles I bought a round, man I think this is watered down This tastes like sawdust this place is giving me the creeps Plus the doors are now closing to the public so lets make our move Then I was struck by the strangest sense of déjà vu Man I swear suffa I heard this all before. It went ba ba ba ba ba…. and then the chorus went:
Come right in, sit right down, join the rest of the suckers Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba at the Sentinel x2 Ba ba ba ba ba x4
Man this place got me reelin, I took a seat to get my focus When a group of b-boyz gathered by the stage took my notice At about 1 o'clock the club manager approaches And said I heard you jokers were MCs listen to us, Cos we run an open mic about – oh every night And to enter u gotta be.. incredibly tight. I said get me the mic I might flip, then the light switch My vision was blurrin and burning words inside my eyelids
Rhyme progression begun somethin possessin my tongue Blessing the deaand dumb f til I was falling short of breath in my lungs When will they let us stop? I checked the time and it was 6 in the morning and we were still rhyming we battled MC after MC, battled MCs for days but they wouldn’t let us go, when we tried to leave the stage the manager said: you boys can never leave this tournament and you can never leave the Sentinel, and the chorus went
Come right in, sit right down, join the rest of the suckers ba ba ba ba baba ba ba ba ba at the Sentinel x2 ba ba ba ba bax4
Come right in. sit right down. join the rest of the suckers At the sentinalx2
