    Owning London

    Last night we all got pretty pissed and climbed up a future bank skyscrapers steelframe near Liverpool Street. Yes the big beautiful one. We just jumped straight over the main gate and walked up the temporary stairs in the unfinished building. We made it all the way to Level 28, probably being the only people at such heights at 4 AM in a 9 million city.
    It was beautiful, we were all up there had an amazing view and a feeling that we are owning London. Its nice how you can temporary own something so locked up and protected. Everyone was scared that we would get busted, but the guards didnt show up anywhere. In this climate of psychological repression by terror paranoia you would normally never dare to do such thing, but yet its still possible.

    It was great, empty and neon lit mini-skyscrapers are the most beautiful thing and a real “the world is yours” experience.

    The Thomas Traum Theme

    As long as discoballs keep turning

    As long as the bass keeps pumping

    As long as clubs keep existing

    As long as cars keep racing

    and girls keep dancing

    As long as raytracers keep tracing

    As long as data keeps flowing

    As long as code keeps running

    As long as the screen keeps glowing

    As long as the switch keeps blinking

    and the upload keeps going

    As longs as loops keep looping

    As long as paints keeps flowing

    As long as trains keep rolling

    As long as the night keeps falling

    and the sun keeps rising

    I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
    You heard of us
    Official queensbridge murderers
    The mobb comes equipped with warfare, beware
    Of my crime family who got nuff shots to share
    For all of those who wanna profile and pose
    Rock you in your face, stab your brain wit your nosebone
    You all alone in these streets, cousin
    Every man for theirself in this land we be gunnin
    And keep them shook crews runnin
    Like they supposed to
    They come around but they never come close to
    I can see it inside your face
    Youre in the wrong place
    Cowards like you just get theyre whole body laced up
    With bullet holes and such
    Speak the wrong words man and you will get touched
    You can put your whole army against my team and
    I guarantee you itll be your very last time breathin
    Your simple words just dont move me
    Youre minor, were major
    You all up in the game and dont deserve to be a player
    Dont make me have to call your name out
    Your crew is featherweight
    My gunshotsll make you levitate
    Im only nineteen but my mind is old
    And when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
    Another nigga deceased, another story gets told
    It aint nothin really
    Hey, yo dun spark the phillie
    So I can get my mind off these yellowbacked niggas
    Why they still alive I dont know, go figure
    Meanwhile back in queens the realness is foundation
    If I die I couldnt choose a better location
    When the slugs penetrate you feel a burning sensation
    Getting closer to God in a tight situation
    Now, take these words home and think it through
    Or the next rhyme I write might be about you

    Chorus:
    Son, they shook…
    cause aint no such things as halfway crooks
    Scared to death, scared to look
    They shook
    cause aint no such things as halfway crooks
    Scared to death, scared to look

    Livin the live that of diamonds and guns
    Theres numerous ways you can choose to earn funds…earn funds
    Some of em get shot, locked down and turn nuns
    Cowardly hearts end straight up shook ones…shook ones
    He aint a crook son, hes just a shook one…shook one

    [havoc]
    For every rhyme I write, its 25 to life
    Yo, its a must the gats we trust safeguardin my life
    Aint no time for hesitation
    That only leads to incarceration
    You dont know me, theres no relation
    Queensbridge niggas dont play
    I dont got time for your petty thinking mind
    Son, Im bigga than those claimin that you pack heat
    But youre scared to hold
    And when the smoke clears youll be left with one in your dome
    13 years in the projects, my mentality is what, kid
    You talk a good one but you dont want it
    Sometimes I wonder do I deserve to live
    Or am I going to burn in hell for all the things I did
    No time to dwell on that cause my brain reacts
    Front if you want kid, lay on your back
    I dont fake that kid
    Stay in a childs place, kid you out o line
    Criminal minds thirsty for recognition
    Im sippin e&j, got my mind flippin
    Im buggin think Im how bizar to hold my hustlin
    Get that loot kid, you know my function
    Cause long as Im alive ima live illegal
    And once I get on ima put on, on my people
    React mix to lyrics like macs I hit your dome up
    When I roll up, dont be caught sleepin
    Cause Im creepin

    Chorus:

    Son, they shook…
    cause aint no such things as halfway crooks
    Scared to death and scared to look
    (hes just a shook one)
    They shook…
    cause aint no such things as halfway crooks
    Scared to death and scared to look
    (we live the live that of diamonds)

    They shook…
    cause aint no such things as halfway crooks
    Scared to death and scared to look
    They shook…
    cause aint no such things as halfway crooks, crooks..

    Livin the live that of diamonds and guns
    Theres numerous ways you can choose to earn funds…earn funds
    But some of em get shot, locked down and turn nuns
    Cowardly hearts end straight up shook ones…shook ones
    He aint a crook son, hes just a shook one…shook one

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    To all the villains and a hundred dollar billas
    To real brothers who aint got no dealings
    G-yeah, the whole bridge, queens get the money
    41st side (hes just a shook one)
    Keepin it real (you know)
    Queens get the money…

    Catching up with reality

    I think most programmers don’t really understand what they are creating. I think after a few weeks on a website the website develops a life of its own, the coder has to run through so many if else in his head that the site takes over his thinking.
