MC Chris - Part One Lyrics






The horror, it was Zorro
He was wearin' a mask
I was out with my folks
And we was havin' a laugh

We didn't do this too often
Mingle with the proletariats
Folks with old money
And too often they were scaredy cats

Always goin' out
Leavin' me with the help
Always raising funds
And I'm left by myself

They saw that I was missin out
On being a kid
Dad said we're going out
And I'm flippin' my lid

I was lost in the dark
Like that time in the cave
Surrounded by bats
Alone and afraid

Big Z on my screen
Meant dueling and danger
Someone so evil
Can focus their anger

A hero that sent the unjust to their ruin
A mask to protect from people pursuin'
A cape to conceal a collection of tricks
And everything black, on this he insists

I am the Batman
I jump up and then I land
You don't know what I got in my hand
The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!"

I am the Dark Knight
I do whats right, but I do it out of spite
Don't look quite right if you turn on the light
I'll land with a boom "Which goon wanna fight?"

Dad had the limo out back
I was sacked out cause I'm a little lad
Don't wanna be older, head's on a shoulder
I heard a loud sound, and I went on the ground

It was sadly in crime alley and my father was dead
My mother was screaming till she was shot in the head
I see pearls in a puddle that was suddenly red
The memory gets muddled except what the man said

"Ever dance with the Devil
In the pale moonlight?"
A riddle I'll remember
For the rest of my life

This killer was a chiller
I was froze to the bone
Alfred found me, I was howlin'
Like a pup on his own

I made a promise to my parents
In the circle of light
I would vanquish evil in a cape
Maybe some tights

I didn't know how I would do it
Or which form I would take
I just knew it was a creature
Only I could create

I am the Batman
I jump up and then I land
You don't know what I got in my hand
The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!"

I am the Dark Knight
I do whats right, but I do it out of spite
Don't look quite right if you turn on the light
I'll land with a boom "Which goon wanna fight?"

Tompkins and Pennyworth
Packed plenty of socks
Brought a legion of luggage
Drug it down to the docks

But I gave them the slip
Stowed away on a freight
I was pissed with being rich
Life's a bitch, so they say

Foreign land, with the plan
And the knowledge within
For soon I'd be a man
That would need to begin

This quest to be best
And defend the oppressed
Packed in the projects
Like objects and pests

I'd have to return
But for now, I would train
I learned tracking and hunting
On the African plains

In China learned Tao
Japan learned Jiu Jitsu
Don't believe you would bleed
Then let me convince you

Nerve pinch in a pinch
Leopard palm, knuckle strike
Used the Quivering Palm
In a fight take a life

Over a hundred forms
Of hand-to-hand anguish
Bestowed on my dome
Learned every language

Studied shadows with ninjas
Disguise and escape
Learned boxing, detoxing
Concealing with capes

Went to Cambridge, Sorbonne
But never for too long
Before the end of the semester
I would have to be gone

Came home to forgotten
Gotham's so rotten and twisted
Came home to my mansion
It's a vast stash of riches

Brooding in the darkness
With a bust of my father
A bat through the window
"A question of honor."

I am the Batman
I jump up and then I land
You don't know what I got in my hand
The shape of a bat you go "SPLAT!" and "KABLAM!"

I am the Dark Knight
I do whats right, but I do it out of spite
Don't look quite right if you turn on the light
I'll land with a boom "Which goon wanna fight?"

    Nice, haven't listened in a while and stumbled upon this by accident. Glad I did.

  54. M.... P....

    MC Chris is my new idol.

  55. C.... ....

    cant stop hitting replay.... MUST.... BE.... PRODUCTIVE....

  56. T.... ....

    mc is such a boss

  57. H.... ....

    So i've filled in the blanks in the lyrics based on comments, a few things i'm still not sure of, so go ahead and point something out if you want.

  58. n.... ....

    @clockworkcorvid "Leopard Palm, Knuckle Strike" is the last blank I think.

  59. n.... ....

    @clockworkcorvid I think the "F" you're hearing is a "th"...I think it's "For soon I'd be a man that would need to begin"

  60. M.... ....

    i demand this be played at the end credits of the dark knight rises

  61. H.... ....

    @DelightfulTyrant Yea, figured that out a little while ago, i'll fix that.

  62. S.... M....

    "Dad had the limo out back"
    not "Dad passed a little while back"

    I think the W sound between "limo" and "out" confused you.

    It is a reference to their car being parked in a way that made them take a short cut through crime alley and their inevitable mugging.

  63. T.... ....

    mc just let it slip this is the new subject he will be making a record about the dc universe he didnt say it out right but i will bet anything on it

  64. b.... v....

    "it was ... in crime alley and my father was dead"



    "Tompkins and Pennyworth packed plenty of socks"

    ""over a hundred forms of hand to hand anguish
    Rosetta Stone in my dome, learned every language"







  65. M.... ....

    This shit is the maddist

  66. J.... ....

    yeah I actually bought the album. I just use these vids to get my friends hooked!

  67. O.... N....

    Thanks for posting the lyrics. This was the only place I could find them. Check out the video I made for this song.....

  68. w.... ....

    "Dad had the limo out back" not "Dad passed a little while back"

  69. J.... W....

    I believe the final lyric is:
    Brooding in the darkness with a bust of my father
    A bat through the window, a question of honor

  70. R.... ....

    Big Z on the screen meant "dueling" in danger...

    (???) "is a peddler", packed plenty of socks

    For soon "to be a man that will" need to begin

    Nerve pinch in a pinch "never called off a" strike <-- less sure about that one

    The "question of honor" on the last line mentioned in the comment below mine sounds right to me. Just my two cents ;o

  71. H.... ....

    @2tontwentyone Yea, 'for soon i'd/to be a man' has been suggested, but i swear i hear an F in there that keeps me from updating that line. The Sorbonne part though is spot on, i've filled in that blank. Thanks for the help, it's comin' together.

  72. 2.... ....

    Here's the stuff I caught....

    Verse 3- For soon "I'd be a man but" I need to begin. (I think)
    Verse 4- Went to Cambridge, "Sorbonne" (a prestigious school in Paris)

    I'm only positive on the Sorbonne, and I'm gonna keep listening for the other blanks

  73. M.... ....

    Best song in the album

  74. k.... ....

    @clockworkcorvid after "knowledge within" the blank is for soon to be a man think we need to begin.
    At least i believe that's it. Could be wrong but it's close :) ty for posting song btw

  75. W.... ....

    one of the last ones is "went to cambrige ___, but never for too long"

    still don't know that one word, though.

    W.... ....

    Sorbonne

  76. A.... ....

    @clockworkcorvid Looks pretty good so far. Yeah, I don't have the faintest idea what he's saying in those blanks lol. The only correction I could possibly see is, I think that line in the chorus is "I jump up and then I land", not "ran". But I could be wrong. Nice job though!! :D

  77. H.... ....

    @Cyfin Well, here's all i can figure out. Still working on those blank spaces.

  78. A.... ....

    @clockworkcorvid I'm sure you're doing a better job than me, haha. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

  79. H.... ....

    Ok, got through the first verse but then got stuck. Some parts are really hard to translate. I'll try to have lyrics of some kind up before tonight.

  80. H.... ....

    @Cyfin I'm gonna try to write down the lyrics in the description, but they won't be official, just my attempt. Feel free to tell me if you think i got something wrong.

  81. A.... ....

    I sooo wish the lyrics could be posted! I want to memorize this!
