Doing UK Hip - Hop proud. Split Prophets have restored this 40 yr old B-boy faith that Generation Y can keep hip - hop alive. Love to here if Any more young crews are rippin flows up like this Mob.... ??
The best video ever!!! Encapsulates the music and lyrics perfectly, this one changed my life best believe. Big Up all SP fam and fans from across that pond in Vermont
Been following split prophets for a couple months now, North America needs to know about them, we've been missing humble hip hop over here for so long. Everyone thinks they're the best but no one can hold up to it. These guys just look like they're having fun and killing it, makes me want to move to the UK just to be in their group haha, legit though you guys are all so talented. Props from Canada
VERSE 1: BLANKA Just give me 5 seconds in the limelight And I might shine bright Enough to blind eyes And hypnotise guys Till the only thing they envision is my life Flickin’ on the television See me livin’ the high life While they grind in a cheap hole I’m replacin’ my 8 and 9 With a 9 from Puerto Rico War is bleak though Every morning from the bottom corner of my speed boat More than deep though First name basis with important people I draw free clothes That’s just a standard ting Speakin’ Mandarin ? in Beijing with Jet Li gamblin’ Pissed up, ramblin’ Bitter somethin’s in the air Bruv a Harvey Nick’s mannequin Wave the strap Wondering why everybody’s panickin’ Drive-by dazzlin’ Till I sleep in my coffin I’ll be droppin’ P in every street that I bop in Build a beach up in Gotham And get the Hoff in VERSE 2: PARO Give me a room full of money And a 50 mil mansion With naked women countin’ out cash And pole dancin’ Stretchin’ out their hamstrings Fuck the Swiss bankin’ I’m sparkin’ up a blunt while the helicopter’s landin’ Neckin’ off this champagne Then pissing in a pot of gold I’m on a roll Feedin’ hookers coke out in Monaco Now they’ll even sniff But I got a load Playin’ strip poker in a swimmin’ pool on a boat Then it’s back to the villa On a thriller with an entourage Markers out, bombin’ hard Stinkin’ when the chronic’s sparked No more cotchin’ in the park with a spicy rolly I’m in the Ritz slappin’ people with an icy Rolly They can’t control me I’m rich and I’m rowdy Rinsin’ out my Audi With links out in Saudi Passin’ through Barça Leavin’ tags on the Gaudi Then it’s back to this fucked up place where they found me VERSE 3: DATKID Yo! If I was rich I’d be even more of a wanker than I am now Hands down No one’ll like me I got it planned out I’ll pull a grand out And slap you with it Then buy you a drink Go to hand it to you Pull it back and sip it Grab your missus And tell her that she’s better off Jammin’ with this ? That buys her what the hell she wants Who ya think she’s gonna choose? When I’m comin’ through Bunnin’ zoots that are fuckin’ huge And I’m flashin’ healthy wads Yeah I cop a bottle just to pour on the floor Chuck it back at the abrman Then I’ll order some more I’m smoking ciggies rolled in fifties Ballin’ like a testicle But I’ve been getting’ smashed for weeks So I don’t have flesh at all Aggressive fool with more money than sense ? Just money well spent Shit I think I’m too rich to cover my rent Live the high life for a month And end up in a tent
Yo if i was rich id be even more of a wanker than i am now hands down no one would like me I got it planned out i'll pull a grand out and slap you with it then buy you a drink go to hand it to you, pull it back and sip it so ill, props from the states UK DOES IT BEST
