DK West Encounter 2

**DK West Encounter 2** is the battle theme of the first optional fight against DK West, the others being DK West Encounter 1 and DK West Encounter 3. Like the required Encounter 1, the songs use elements from Rap and Dikir Barat. In various parts of the song, DK West's catchphrase "Ewah!" is used or mentioned in the lyrics.

All DK West Encounters are the only ones to not have any variation, just having a French version of the three of them. The DK West Encounters are also the only songs where two characters sing, in the first and second encounters being DK West and Zuke, both of them attacking each other with words in turns, just like a real rap battle.

## Lyrics

### English

```
DK West:
 Even when you messed me up in college
 It never killed me, it gave me knowledge
 I stood strong and grew larger
 My vocabulary, it was extraordinary
 My roots were sewn deep from the underground
 I was centered on ground zero
 No cash, no money all around me
 Though it ruled the world all around me
 I grew big, I grew strong, my rap game was so on
 From the seed, grew an empire, my words spit fire
 Through the city, I made sure everyone knew who DK West was
 Aha ewah

※Crowd:
 DK West, DK West
 He is our Man
 He is the best
 DK West, DK West
 He is our Man
 Oh! He is the best
 DK West, DK West
 He is our Man
 He is the best
 DK West, DK West
 He is our Man
 Oh! He is the best

Zuke:
 Hey DK, my brother, I meant no disorder
 We got bigger issues to deal
 Than past life ordeals
 NSR the evil empire
 We gotta bring them down
 Kill 'em with fire
 Seal them with music
 Put our differences aside
 And bring our powers together
 For a ride
 For a ride
 For a ride

※repeat

DK West:
 Easy for you to say Zuke
 You make me want to look
 Forget all our past
 But it has not passed / yet
 In college, you wanted to be president
 Rule all the residents
 But your heart was never noble
 You just did it to get back at me
 It stemmed from your jealousy
 Your never ending rivalry
 Well, Imma bring my cavalry
 My rhymes loaded with poetry
 My words laced with symmetry
 My rhythms pure artistry
 What you got besides
 Oh yeah, nothingry ewah!

※repeat

Zuke:
 Ah West you only know anger and violence
 Remember when those NSR fans burned down your car
 You dissed them and hissed them
 Till they missed their own sanity
 And acted out with profanity
 To light up your car
 And see it burn
 And see it burn
 Coz you lit their desire
 Of hate towards yourself

※repeat

DK West:
 My rivalry with NSR was the tipping point
 I left Vinyl City, no one had to force me
 I gave Tatiana the Horn of Mending
 For if she ever wanted to reconcile
 She could blow the horn
 And I would accept her apology
 No worries, no problem, and that ain't an analogy

※repeat

Zuke:
 Your solution to everything is just run run run
 You ran away from NSR
 You ran away from Vinyl City
 You ran away from college
 You ran away from me
 When I was more popular than you
 You couldn't stand it through and through

※repeat

DK West:
 Hey Zuke stop blaming me all the time
 If you weren't so jealous
 We wouldn't be so messed up
 It's your fault our relationship was ruined
 ZUKE'S Fault
 Take responsibility for your irresponsibility

※repeat

Zuke:
 I tried my best to keep in touch with you
 But you never replied, radio silence zero decibels
 So when you say it's my fault
 The heck I am pissed for your blame
 I ain't taking the blame for your own thing
 In fact forget this, forget you
 You're no brother of mine
 I disown you, we ain't related
 You're no brother
 You're no brother
 You ain't no brother of mine!

※repeat

```

## Trivia

* The full length of the rap is not used in game.
* Like in DK West Encounter 1, the battle follows the music, that's why there are several parts where the lyrics coincide with something shown in scene.
	+ When DK West sings "I was centered on ground zero", a big 0 appears when saying "zero" in the battle zone, with four enemies just below representing the "ground" part.
	+ There is a part where Zuke mentions NSR in the lyrics "NSR the evil empire", making the letters N, S and R appear in the area when that phrase is said.
	+ The lyric "ZUKE'S Fault" sung by DK West forms a big Z made out of enemies in the scene.
* If you listen closely to DK West dialogue after the rap battle, you can tell he's holding back tears. Proving just how surprised and hurt he was by Zuke's disowning him.
* All DK West encounters were recorded in the same day.
