(No Ratings Yet)My favourite album of 2008 – the combination of Skrein and Dr. Syntax was excellent. This is a heavy track, with an introspective feel, featuring a solid verse from Stig Of The Dump. We want Skreintax Vol. 2!
INTRO:
SKREIN
- It’s The Evil That Men Do
- The jealousy
- The macho bravado and chemistry
- The Evil That Men Do
- Well fucking c'est la vie
- The fever and the cure
- It’s the poison in the remedy
- It’s The Evil That Men Do
- The savageness
- The competitive streak we all have in us
- The Evil That Men Do
- And pretend you talk righteous
- For something different we then do
VERSE 1:
SKREIN
- The Evil That Men Do
- It’s no surprise to me
- Cos that evil is something that’s inside of me
- I look at other heads and know that’s not what I want my life to be
- Other rappers? You’re just hype to me
- You ain’t as nice as me
- I smile at your screwface
- And laugh at your big talk and talk as politely as I like to be
- ?? you shouldn’t try to be
- But you can’t let your guard down
- You know what that seems like to me?
- Why you trying to hide behind your Avirex
- Behind your fresh trainers
- Behind you ?
- Behind your willingness to victimise
- The victim hides
- Scared to be the victim
- So you victimise
- It’s The Evil That Men Do
- You can find it in any victim’s eyes
- It’s your ego that made you pick that fight
- We go on as if we feel no pain
- We just hurt ourselves but we still won’t change
CHORUS
VERSE 2: DR. SYNTAX- Wasted hours – trying to make sense of the images
- Sent to my television set where I’m sitting with
- Only a condensed impression of events that I’m witnessing
- Keeping my awareness limited
- Yes, this is serious
- Yes this affects every individual civilian
- Still living in a world of excuses
- Broken truces
- You don’t wanna walk that road but if the shoe fits
- We stay focused on Third World threats
- Instead of trying to settle any Third World debts
- So regardless of another First World pledge
- The Right doesn’t wanna see a Third World Left
- And that’s the evil that’s hard to accept
- A lifelong scheme that starts at the crèche
- If God is my witness
- How can I be wrong to predict who he wants at the top of his hitlist?
CHORUS
VERSE 3: STIG OF THE DUMP- It’s like we’re living in a world full of madness
- Where cash transactions keep the planet on its axis
- We work a 9 to 5 for a pittance – paying taxes
- And they wonder why kids are quick to stick you for your wage packets
- Sex scandals dominate the daily papers
- Overnight races attain celebrity status
- Everyone wants to be famous for real
- And media pages dictate sales and make sex appeal
- A young girl sees a mag full of stick figures in heels
- And now she sticks her fingers down her throat in between meals
- Kids are given a raw deal and that’s a fact bro
- Instead of trying to understand they slap her with an ASBO
- Assholes run the country like a bad joke
- That’s why there’s starving artists and the hardest workers flat broke
- Lacking the cash flow to get through
- We’re all living and fall victim to The Evil That Men Do
