lyrics
Once upon a time in the land I come from/ There lived these greedy kings who had breathed corruption/ Man, it was somethin', they all seemed to love when/ A chance came to take from the poor who had nothin'/ The lower class pain born a dark age/ In every village slum formed 4 types of gangs/ Each one of them idenified by their unique skill/ Day to day meals would be the reason to kill/ Violence stalked the commoners in the streets/ While, their true enemies walked through courtyards of peace/ And it really seemed that all hope would cease/ But, then a hero appeared from the lands in the East Similar to a fairytale or a dream/ Held down the scene decked top to bottom in green Equipped with a bow, and an arrow, shot glory/ He founded the elements. This is their story/
Between the 4 gangs, he formulated a truce/ Then found a way of peace between each of the groups/ A common goal together as the Merrimen/ Against the kings of the land, they were called the 4 Elements/ I'll break it down easy/ They had DJs, B-boys, MCs, and graffiti Back then, holding it down for all the needy/ They brought peace and happiness, it was all too easy/ After some time DJs and Mcs/ influenced the most so the kings made a scheme/ To seize control of the two biggest teams/ by removing the line between reality and dreams/ They sent this dark little fellow with this sand/ That could exploit the selfish dreams of any man/ With this dust he carried in a chest most/ Of the MCs and the DJs from the West coast/ Betrayed the elements and became more relevant/ Abusing graffiti, the darkness here was evident/ They took control and multiplied as a whole/ Melody was even among the queens that they stole/ they say the elements live down to this day/ Underground in society, hidden from evil's gaze/ I'm gonna find if it is or is not/ This is the Tale of our beloved Hip Hop/
Once Upon a time in the land I come from/ There lived this industry that had breed corruption/ Similar to Shinra, they controlled the functions Of the cities and even the lifestyles of the public/ At that time, 4 gangs has existed But it didn’t seem that the industry took interest/ So, they turned their faces away from the evil/ And violence took place everyday amongst the people But soon after that, a hero would come/ Rockin’ rhythms over drums like an arrow was strung/ Bringing peace to the streets that he had won/ Transformed the 4 gangs like the night to the sun/ Into these factions, the four elements they were named/ B-boys, MC’s, Graffiti, and DJs/ Life was like a celebration everyday/ Until the Elements fell underground and things changed Mega Ran So, if you wonder now .....Why you can’t find the clans nowadays, they were all forced underground Practicing the arts in the darkness Praying for an illuminated heart to spark this It’s awkward, in a world without heroes
We, the people, now forced to embrace evil (The) Sandman keep the dreamers starry-eyed Promising fame and riches, but we know it’s all a lie/ Keeping us under the influence of instruments/Struggle is infinite, never forget! But, I heard a rumor of a special two Who would rise up and do what one person could never do Take control and eventually switch the mood up Renew us and return the Elements to us I never knew the details of their elaborate plan And alas, that was exactly how it began Epic stories astounding whoever reads them And now you gotta see it to believe them The Tales of the Elements

This album came out of nowhere, and is as epic as the game. There's a grit and true understanding of how the game portrays itself in this music. kai_myst

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions.
I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over.
Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure
