[DJ Intro - 16 Bars - Instrumental Only] [MC Pickup - Shouted UK MC] Yo! All crew stand by! Hear that? One | two | LET IT FLY! [Drop 1 - 32 Bars - Instrumental] [Chorus - Hard Crowd Chant] NO BRAKES! | Let the breakbeat twist the place! NO BRAKES! | Feel the floor move under bass! NO BRAKES! | Strobe lights flashing in your face! All night | full tilt | never easing off the pace! NO BRAKES! | Hear the snare cut through the fog! NO BRAKES! | Watch the back wall take the shock! NO BRAKES! | When the selector drops that chop! One more | turn up | tell the DJ don't stop! [Instrumental Break - 16 Bars] [MC Ad-Libs] Ayy! Leave that running! Don't touch the fader! [Verse 1 - RAPID DOUBLE-TIME UK MC] [Fast continuous delivery - natural short breaths] Late through the side door | trainers all wet Wristband twisted | sweat on my neck One little nod and the DJ checks Cuts out the drums then the room resets Tight little shuffle | quick little jab Left foot sliding on the concrete slab Back room steaming | air turned black One sharp snare and the crowd snaps back No wasted time when I jump in the pocket Four quick cuts and the snare can't stop it Switch that shape | let the kick drum knock it Catch that rhythm then I twist and lock it Talk gets buried when the riddim goes live Fast tongue chopping as the hi-hats drive Short breath taken | straight back inside Four bars deep and I'm changing the stride [MC Burst - Faster Cadence] Tick tick | switch it | split it in two Clip that syllable | flick right through Run that pattern till the next break's due DJ cut the mids | let the sub come through! [Bass Switch - 32 Bars - Instrumental] [Chorus - Crowd Chant] NO BRAKES! | Let the breakbeat twist the place! NO BRAKES! | Feel the floor move under bass! NO BRAKES! | Strobe lights flashing in your face! All night | full tilt | never easing off the pace! NO BRAKES! | Hear the snare cut through the fog! NO BRAKES! | Watch the back wall take the shock! NO BRAKES! | When the selector drops that chop! One more | turn up | tell the DJ don't stop! [Verse 2 - RAPID DOUBLE-TIME UK MC] [New clipped cadence - relentless fast delivery] Listen! Step in sideways | hood pulled low Red light flickers on the mixer glow Cue up the next one | let the crossfader go Cut one second then the breaks explode Snap on the offbeat | skip on the snare Half of the crowd got their hands in the air Feet keep moving but the head stays clear One more switch and the sound disappears Back on the snap with the pattern uneven Ghost notes creeping and the hats start weaving Sharp little gaps leave the whole crowd leaning One tiny silence then the bass comes steaming Quick with the consonants | never drag Punch through the pockets | no room to lag One deep breath and I finish that stack Drop the last word and the drums come back [Rapid MC Burst - New Rhythm] Zip that | flip that | send it around Cut the top off | bring the low down One short pause then a brand-new sound From the decks to the tiles | rattle the ground! [Breakdown - Drums Cut] Hold! Not yet! Wait for the kick! One! Two! Three! HIT IT! [Final Chorus - Full Crowd Chant] NO BRAKES! | Let the breakbeat twist the place! NO BRAKES! | Feel the floor move under bass! NO BRAKES! | Strobe lights flashing in your face! All night | full tilt | never easing off the pace! NO BRAKES! | Hear the shutters start to shake! NO BRAKES! | Every step makes the floor vibrate! NO BRAKES! | Let the last drum roll detonate! No sleep | full speed | no chance to hesitate! [Final MC Burst - RAPID DOUBLE-TIME] Right on the edge with the drum in my chest Last four bars and I ain't done yet Fast little switch then I sidestep left Beat goes silent | still got breath! [Final Drop - 32 Bars - Instrumental] [Outro - Beat Cut] That's it! Switch it off! [Pause] Nah! ONE MORE ROUND!
