Ao longo de três anos os M.A.C participaram em várias actividades musicais, actuando em diversos locais do concelho de Almada, nomeadamente na Casa municipal da juventude (ponto de encontro) e na Mostra de Música Moderna de Almada, contando quatro participações nesta iniciativa. Em 2000 os M.A.C sofreram alterações na sua constituição, e consequentemente uma paragem de seis meses. No final deste ano a banda voltou a reunir-se para criar novas músicas. Foram então gravadas diversas maquetas, algumas das quais enviadas para a rádio, nomeadamente Antena 3, sendo transmitidas no programa de rádio "Submarino", um programa especializado em música Rap, ao cargo de José Mariño. De 2001 a 2002 este projecto manteve-se em actividade, realizando concertos em diversos locais da zona Centro/ Sul de Portugal. Os cinco primeiros meses de 2003 foram dedicados à composição de originais. Em Junho deste ano surgiu a oportunidade de gravar um cd de dezasseis originais. As gravações decorreram no Rock Studio, em Almada, e ficaram ao cargo de Pedro Madeira e Ivo Gancho. O primeiro trabalho de originais da banda intitula-se "Missão A Cumprir". Os M.A.C contam neste primeiro trabalho com a participação de Pélé, MLK, NEXO, Chullage, Knowledge 1, Carol, César Sousa e Felipe no baixo, Gramaço no saxofone, Nelson e Pedro Madeira na guitarra clássica e eléctrica. Os scratches ficaram a cargo de DJ Konecta, excepto na introdução que conta com a participação de DJ SAS.

[Chorus:]
The king's a ruler, the ruler rules
The king's a ruler, the ruler rules
The king-the king's a ruler, the ruler rules
The king's a ruler, the ruler rules
I'm a rage and major blaze, you cigarette smoke
Your video's number one and that was part of our plan
Went from "Rock Box" to a whole countdown jam
Took rock music, switched it and flipped it and made it raw
Anywhere you played, we played it before in eighty-four
Every show, a hundred thousand people or more
Fame'll still give us tours and we be tryin' not to take 'em all
I bake 'em all, quicker than Sara Lee, come battle me
Imagine that, what a site that'll be
Front page of the Times, I can read the headlines now
Rev. Run beat clown down for tryin' to take his crown
[Chorus;]
I'm the reason you started rhymin'
I'm the reason rap sales started climbin'
that's why I'm still headlinin'
I'm the king and before I stop why'all cats gon' learn
Yeah why'all niggaz want to burn wait your turn
Run I'm a living legend, my suggestion is learn your lesson
I leave you stressin' confessin' (?) and strivin' for blessing
And whatever your impression it better be, that we the top pedigree
Bringin' why'all energy since eighty-three
I run this here since way back when
I pick up a pair of shells and make why'all wear 'em again
If you thought it I done did it
Heard it I done spit it
New cats want to pay their respects then son I'm with it
But if not, I'ma reclaim the top of the charts
Doin' shows for dough flows rip 'em apart
Other than that, I'll just be holdin' my own
Crown Royalty, up on the throne, f'real
[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
Our father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, forever...
[Chorus:]
The song "Crown" by M.A.C is an ode to his own god-like status as a rapper and his place as the king of the genre. The chorus repeats the phrase "The king's a ruler, the ruler rules" to solidify his place at the top of the game. M.A.C boasts about his accomplishments, such as being the reason rap sales started climbing and having shows with tens of thousands of people in attendance. He mocks other rappers, calling them a "joke" and likening them to cigarette smoke. M.A.C also references his longevity in the industry, having started in 1983 and still headlining shows.
The lyrics also utilize religious imagery, with the refrain "For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever" referencing the Lord's Prayer from Christianity. M.A.C positions himself as like a god on earth, with the power to make or break other rappers' careers. He even suggests that he could "beat clown down for tryin' to take his crown."
Overall, the song "Crown" is a braggadocious anthem for M.A.C, asserting his dominance over the rap world and positioning himself as a god-like figure.
