"Hustlers and hardcore"
1996 In Auckland city's melting pot
Where a group of nobodies used to fuck around a lot
Some counterparts that loved hip hop
Travelling along a road that wasn't straight as Elton John
To get the same fame as How Bizarre, Decepticons
But back then it was the three-headed beast
EDN the Damaja, Mareko and Rezin D
Fuck the gangsta shit, we were on the battle tip
Threw rhymes over Mississippi moonshine and cans of piss
But the average kid used to bag our shit
Cos we didn't grab our dicks and rhyme about gats and clips
It's cliched now but back then it was relevant
Our whole repertoire was punchlines
Write our verses, took a class and battled each other at lunchtime
Unsigned, we swore we'd achieve our set goals
Garage cyphers and bad stereo demos
It's sad that our free lives have decided to let go
We'll all shine once Decepticons explode
To the next mode, we dreamed of as younger brothers
'Cos I got faith in these crazy motherfuckers
"Hustlers and hardcore"
1998, I shifted high schools
A pair of eyes without a face like Billy Idol
Man I spat recitals with the local lyricists
And more gangsta rappers, no one's was feeling it
But this one Tongan kid spat consciousness
Tales about the islands, rhymes were mad positive
And we could only be real like Cypress Hill
I still remember the field battles during the fire drill
Alfrisk your rhymes were ill
Freestyles at first were daydreamy, not when we had the time to kill
The finest skill, ready for the streets
The Savatage re-emerged and made Decepticons complete
The unfuckwitable four lyrical sorcerers
The Abol and Raw Manakau warriors
Auckland warriors yo, no one's a cut above us
'Cos we had faith in us crazy motherfuckers
"Hustlers and hardcore"
Yeah, dedicated to my beloved crew
Look at us now, we made it you big dummies
Top of the world
Savatage, Devolo, Alfrisk, Rezin D, EDN
Davey Walters aka MC Donalds
Repping for all of us on this international stage
Respect that
