Who Killed the MC?

Who killed the MC?
There he lay, splayed on the street
Chalk outlined mic and fist
A broken clock reads four past nine 
Tatters of a golden thread left at the scene 

Who gained from his silence?
Streets alive with revelation 
Anarchic fire in the air 
They’re coming for us with their rhymes 
Gentlemen this isn’t what we had in mind 

What will happen now he’s dead?
Yacht-and-champagne fantasies
Cheap factory beats repeat repeat 
A few mad prophets rise and fade
Suburbia falls back to sleep 

Who killed the MC?
A hot tub forged conspiracy
