Hilltop Hoods - The Sentinel Lyrics
behold I send you out a sheep, amidst the wombba ba ba ba ba x8we found this club on a side street but I was kinda iffywe could hear some fly beats, but from outside it looked shiftyI said this to pressure just before I finished my sentenceThis bouncer came out and dragged us both through the entranceThis guy was huge and I was stumbling with my speechI finally mumbled that we just stumbled in from the streetHe said to us: so finding us was accidental,well im not surprised we dont advertise at the Sentinealhe said: whats your name, he said Pressure I said Suffahe said: join the rest of the suckersso we went right in, we sat right downPressure said: I guess ill get us both our first roundHe had to go downstairs cos the bar was undergroundHe came back and said: man these are the cheapest drinks in townI agreed, yes indeed, we could be here all nightTheyre only charging a buck fifty for imperial pintsAnd im feeling alright, this place in kinda cool manAnd im hoping tonight, nobody acts a fool andRuins this vibe that I got going on andKnowing where I am, but the jams growin man this spots blowinThe ladies were hot, I sat down and listenedTo the 4000 watt in-house sound systemThe dj was laying tracks, people getting on the floor,Then he played a crazy breakand the chorus went:Come right in, sit right down, join the rest of the suckersBa ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba baat the Sentineal x2Ba ba ba ba ba x4These dim lights holes, silhouetted figures fit in tight mouldsThis beers ice-cold, yeh were goin be here til the nights oldI might stroll, see what I can find out but I wonderDo I feel up under or is that the drink pullin me underA strange feeling, this place got my brain reelingMove up n see a picture at the bar, people up on the main ceilingThrough like a broken dream Im walkin through a smoke machine andIn the corner scene it broke free around a smoke screenSat down, looked at the picture on the bottle labelWas the same man in the street as I turned n took my tableAnd as he licked her thighs I saw that glint in her eyesThe wristwatch upon her waist it had him hypnotisedThen she kissed him goodbye, threw me a smile and a grinMy reply cut me in bomber hand right on my chinWalked to the bar as the tender looks right through me I saidExcuse me, he replied I tones as if he talked about me not to me,He said: welcome to the Sentinel, I hope your stay is perpetualWe serve drinks and broken dreams but no ediblesI bought a round, man I think this is watered downThis tastes like sawdust this place is giving me the creepsPlus the doors are now closing to the public so lets make our moveThen I was struck by the strangest sense of dj vuMan I swear suffa I heard this all before.It went ba ba ba ba ba. and then the chorus went:Come right in, sit right down, join the rest of the suckersBa ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba at the Sentinel x2Ba ba ba ba ba x4Man this place got me reelin, I took a seat to get my focusWhen a group of b-boyz gathered by the stage took my noticeAt about 1 o'clock the club manager approachesAnd said I heard you jokers were MCs listen to us,Cos we run an open mic about oh every nightAnd to enter u gotta be.. incredibly tight.I said get me the mic I might flip, then the light switchMy vision was blurrin and burning words inside my eyelidsRhyme progression begun somethin possessin my tongueBlessing the deaand dumb f til I was falling short of breath in my lungsWhen will they let us stop? I checked the time and it was6 in the morning and we were still rhymingwe battled MC after MC, battled MCs for daysbut they wouldnt let us go, when we tried to leave the stagethe manager said: you boys can never leave this tournamentand you can never leave the Sentinel, and the chorus wentCome right in, sit right down, join the rest of the suckersba ba ba ba baba ba ba ba ba at the Sentinel x2ba ba ba ba bax4Come right in. sit right down.join the rest of the suckers At the sentinalx2ba ba ba ba ba x4
