"Yo.. Those just comin' into the building... It's Double original"

"I just can't help it!

Yo! Yo!"

"That's very original

Never heard that from another individual"

"To come across something like

that was a miracle."

Narrating:
Whisper. Everyone has heard of him. The cold, white shark.

The original.

The only one ever built.

Nobody ever fucks with him.

Nobody does nothing without his say so.

See, if I'm going after Tugz, I need his blessin'.

Else he'd kill me, sooner than drinkin' a cup of tea.

Tugz is hiding in on his block.

But Whisper won't make a move

until he gets a good reason.

And since Tugz cut his cousin,

he's our last chance, now.

"That was an experimental

Now it's standard on instrumental"

"I do it in the rave and everybody goes mental

The raving crew turn far from gentle"

"So MC's don't get me mental

Nut get bust, get sent to the dental"

"About you wanna jack my lyrical. "

"That's very original

Never heard that from another individual"

"To come across something like that was

a miracle. That's the D Double signal."

You want some chicken? Fresh from Jamaica.

Dat's no pigeon.

Dat's real chicken.

"That's the D Double signal."

Come on.

"That's very original"

"Never heard that from another individual

To come across something like that was a miracle."

"No toleration for imitation

Origination equals domination"

"That's my solution to a generation"

Are you Afrikaan?.

- Are you mad? I'll slap you down

See, dat right dere, dat right dere

"That's my solution to a generation

Use your mind on imagination"

You just sounded Africaan.

You better all embrace it.

We are all Afrikaan, baby.

"that's my intention

Let me have to mention"

And I say 'eh eh', you see ...
