Prologue
ENTER THE NINJA
A gentle light emerges, softly illuminating Sky-M within the otherwise dark and empty space all around her as the music begins to play1:
PlayThe light slowly intensifies. As the bass comes in, a masked ninja emerges, barely visible a short distance from Sky-M, as well as a goat DJ’ing at his turntables. And Sky-M sings:
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Need your protection
The ninja rips off his mask. It’s Derek-M! He dances and sings:
I’m a ninja, yo
My life is like a video game
I maintain when I’m in the zone
One player one life on the mic
Gimme the time
Sky-M:
Yo ninja, go
Derek-M:
No fuckin’ around I’m cutting down
Anyone in my path
Tryin’ ta fuck up my game with razor sharp
Lyrical throw stars
Killin’ my foes like
Hos! Ska!
Wild, outta control
Ninja skop befokte rof taal
With rough rhymes for tough times
Met fokkol kos, skraal
Till I hit triple seven at the ATM
Straight famine or feast
When you’re living on the razor edge
Stay sharp, sharpRolling with the $O$
High energy
Never seen zef so fresh
Uh, when we mic check
Hi-def flows flex
Yo we aren’t the messed up
Not fucking the best
We not like the rest
My style is UFO
Totally unknown
You can’t fuck with my new zef flow
I’m hard to miss
“You can’t do this, you can’t do that”
Yeah fuckin’ who said so?
I do what I like
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
You can’t fuck with the chosen one
I-I-I want the knife
Yo I’m a Ninja
Sky-M:
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Need your protectionI, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Need your protection
Derek-M:
Ninja is poes cool
But don’t fuck with my game boy or I’ll
Poes you
Life is tough
When I get stuck
And my time is up
I push through
Till I break break break
On through to the other side
Fantastically poor with
Patience like a stalkerNinja is hardcore
Been cut so deep, feel no pain
It’s not sore
Don’t ask for kak or you’ll get what you
Ask for
I’m like a wild animal in the corner
Waiting for the break of dawn
Trying to get through the night
Just a man with the will to surviveMy blade swing free
Decapitate a hater with amazing ease
This is not a game, boy
Don’t play with me
I work my mic sabre
Like a wild fuckin’ savage
From the dark side of dangerYin to the yang
Totally Hi-Tek
Ninjas are motherfucking big in Japan
I seen the future but I never got nothing in my hand
Except a microphone, big dreams and a plan
Fly-talking, sky-walking
Like a ninja
Sky-M:
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Need your protectionI, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Be my samurai
I, I, I, I am your butterfly
I need your protection
Need your protection
Derek-M:
Fuck
This is like the coolest song I ever heard in my whole life
Fuck all of you who said I wouldn’t make it
Who said I was a loser
They said I was a no one
They said I was a fuckin’ psycho
But look at me now
All up in the interweb
Worldwide
Two thousand nine
Futurista
Enter the ninja
