["HARD" by Breakage starts]

"Man are locked in like dem man are ard"

"Everybody's locked in like

"I'm that lyrical father

"Ain't got time for muckin around

"Get in the back man are gettin around

But I'm getting every man addicted to the sound like brown"

"Addicted to the sound like crack and its

"Dirtee Stank I will fully back

If a boy try his ting I will pull it back"

"It a must, its a must

I'll lyrically make a man eat my dust"

"I'm a deep pan and you're thin crust

Trust me I'm deep with the mic, trust men are hard"

"Hard, hard, gal are locked in like dem man are ard

Man are locked in like dem man are ard"

"Everybody's locked in like dem man are ard

[Junior moaning]

Where the f*** you been, Junior?

Breezer said let's go to the men at the Manor

and they might help, OK?

Let's go.

- Come, come.

Aaahhh, f*** it.

Let's go, c'mon, dog.

F***in' Craze.

Narrating:
Beano.

Probably the maddest man I've ever met.

Never seen one man

win a fight against him.

He's got beef with Crazer since he left his crew.

Nothing much he can do now except kill him.

Because Craze is only trying to

make an honest livin'.

The only thing that saves him is him

bringin' Beano beans every couple of weeks.

Wot da f*** is dis, son?

Wot are you doing up in my Manor?

Relax, Beano.

Just hoping you would hear me.

OK.

You've got some grab for us, have ya?

Listen, we can do business tomorrow, yeah?

First we need something in return.

Is dat a fact?

- We need to find a wasteman, Tugz.

Listen, son. Tell me why I shouldn't just

give ya a slap right now.?

He killed my brother.

Your brother?

[Dog growling]

Sit down.

Fam...

Let me tell you a story, yeah?

You learn from me 'ere.

So listen.

When I was a feisty little

younger like yourself...

...full of energy,

looking up at London like...

...like it was some giant gnash,

waitin'...

Just waitin' to get mashed.

[Laughs]

And I thought:

"I'm going to grow up and show all dese fools.

Show 'em who's got the balls around 'ere."

Little tiny dat I was, ya know.

[Hocks a lugger]

[Burbs loudly]

Yaahhh!!!

You see,

for every action, dere's a reaction.

Dey call dat da "Chaos theory".

Wot you got to ask yourself is

do you want a life of chaos?

Huh?

Do you want a reaction

to your actions?

Huh?

Sumtin I call "the Caterpillar effect".

See, the butterfly effect means, right...

you 'ave a butterfly he ain't really

brotherin' about the effect 'e might be havin'.

But dat butterfly

shakin' his wings...

unbeknownst to himself...

might set off a tornado...

half way across da planet.

And dat, son, is going to come back

on him, one day.

Da same way dat tings your doin' now,

is goin to come back on you, too.

I'll tell you what, Beano...

- Sit down, boy!

You've got some ill manners.

- Yeah, cheeky little twat.

And you can shut up and all!

Little man...

Don't let nobody f*** with ya.

But don't go about f***in' other people, either.

Butterfly, pushin' around,

flappin' his wings, and chaos.

Caterpillar, sits in his sack,

messin' with nothin'.
