about

Deadline day featuring celebrity Crisis Mr. Swagger, is a unique song that was actually recorded and first released on the real deadline day of the football transfer market this year (January 31st 2014).

The song 'Rumors' was released on the 26th of January 2014 hinting possible celebrity features on the next song release 'Deadline Day'. This is similar to how there are transfer rumors of possible player transfers in the football transfer market.

Malachite's team had to acquire at least one of the features within a 7 day period. In an amazing effort, Crisis was signed on to the track on deadline day and the song was written, recorded and released on the same day.

This specific song represents the winger position, as Malachite's favorite team's (Arsenal FC) number one winger, Theo Walcott, was injured in January and the team was actively looking for a replacement in the January Transfer Market window.

lyrics

Yo, we got one
Stop the rumors, this is cross continental
Iceburg from the motherland
Crisis from Australia
Yours truly in the west, yo, they ain't ready man
This is our season, this is deadline day
And we make moves in this transfer market, yo lets go

Verse 1
I apologize to my family and pham
A never worked came up with another plan
Pham back with the Mala on another jam
Number 7 on tha shirt with the arm band
We was making em bids and
Got a player like when Bale bailed and spurred at Madrid
When we kick it yo we killin like we do it for sparta
And just to get me is like Messi to leave Barca FC
Fat Chance... only deal with the best
Now if we dealing like this, what if we had a war chest?
Like......80 million pounds
I got 80 million sounds
That'll make it not Mata if 37 down
So sick barely passed the medical
See I strike hard like the Hulk incredible
See I kill lines so this day is credible
And I make moves in the transfer market

[Hook]
Yo this is deadline day
We on the move in the window and we get our way
Making bids for the best, don't test my play
Making a team that'll take your whole title away

And we get our targets
Yea we make moves in the transfer market
Yo we get our targets
Yea we make moves in the transfer market

Verse 2
Yea we make moves, moves that'll test ya
My flow got the move and style of Iniesta.
You can't bite me no matter what I said
No matter if you rolled up just like Suarez
I'm a gunner my Arsenal from London
Rappers will fear me, I'll Bayern munch them
I'll Bayern crunch them
No challenge
Make dudes retire from the game like Alex
But you can call me Sir
Cause I'll get roylaties just for spitting these words
And i'll get loyalty from the people that heard
That I curve the ball like Beckham heh
Starting 11,
Looking like we just bought CR7
Hyper with my spit did you see my venom?
We on the move up the table to the top
And we ain;t got stop and we ain't gon drop cause

[Hook]
Yo this is deadline day
We on the move in the window and we get our way
Making bids for the best, don't test my play
Making a team that'll take your whole title away

And we get our targets
Yea we make moves in the transfer market
Yo we get our targets
Yea we make moves in the transfer market

Crisis
(Live from Perth City, LSK representive)
It's signed sealed delivered and the deal is done
You know you got a hot player when you chill with son
You want me in your team put your money where your mouth is
So many people making offers that turn countless
I love places where the grass is greener
Hit the field I'm stomping in my black Addidas
Crisis Mr Swagger
Got my name on the back of the jersey I'm not playing
Competition is none when I slay em
I'm the type that'll take your coach and I'd train him
We be sipping champagne from the world cup
You know I keep my circle together just like belt buckle
Battling me is like another way to spell trouble
Man victory is sweet when the world love you
See how you futher muckers gon stop us
You aint even got the balls to play soccer

[Hook] x2
Yo this is deadline day
We on the move in the window and we get our way
Making bids for the best, don't test my play
Making a team that'll take your whole title away

And we get our targets
Yea we make moves in the transfer market
Yo we get our targets
Yea we make moves in the transfer market
