Phatigue

[The scene opens on an average shop front of a standard dining establishment with crowd banter foley. It is night and lantern light shines through the curtained doorway. The camera enters and progresses to a table where the familiar trio of Jin, Fuu, and Mugen is seated. Ample drink has been consumed, as is evident by numerous discarded cups. Mugen mutters something doubtlessly lewd and provokes the following response.]

[Jin, quietly]: I'm tired.

[Mugen, regards him curiously]: What?

[Jin, severely]: I said 'I'm tired'.

[a beat starts, Jin adjusts his glasses]

I'm tired of offenders

And I'm tired of pretenders

And I'm tired of you players who are frontin' like contenders

.

Girls talkin' up their sex appeal

Boys say they'll bring it with the steel

But I'm not buyin' what you're sellin' 'til I see that rap for real

.

'Cause there's a girl in every town

Who says that she can throw down

And there's a guy in every stand who wants to spread his rep around

.

But if you try and call 'em out

Man, there isn't any doubt

You'll find their bark and not their bite is what they're really all about

.

So trade your words in for a spine

And bust some heads instead of rhymes

And if it turns out you don't got it, bail up front – don't waste my time

.

'Cause I'll cross blades if you dare

And there's plenty here to share

But if you're really just all talk I'll take this business elsewhere

.

If you can't keep it in your pants

Don't come 'round until you can

And don't think twice about my bed if you're lookin' for romance

.

If 'I want you's what you mean

Don't think you'll get this ronin

'Cause you won't hit this in your lifetime if you don't come clean

.

Don't want you boys and girls

Keep your diamonds, keep your pearls

Real men and perfect ladies is all I'm shoppin' for

.

Cause what you see is what you get

That's a promise, not a threat

I'll send you to the other world as soon as bring you back from it

.

Yeah, listen up, you bros and hos

My number one's my Bushido

And though I killed my sensei, still represent my dojo

.

Two katanas in my obi

And an open road before me's

All I need to get along if you just want me for my body

.

Now I give props to those I've lost

And remind you not to flaunt

I came, I saw, I said my bit so arigato gozaimasu.

.

[Jin bows then tosses his head back and coolly retakes his seat]

[The room sits in a stunned silence]

[pause]

[Everyone, save Mugen and Fuu, offers to buy him a(nother) drink]

[Jin accepts]
