lyrics

‘If you hear hippies chanting in the background,
It’s cause I can’t afford to make my own sounds,
I’ve gotta nick em, cherry pick em,
Fill em with my rhymes I feel that better fit em,
When written submit em for you lot to listen,
Ruminate with hate, berate an diss em,
Regardless can’t deter for me from my mission,
Expression, leave behind fear, inhibition,
At one with the rhythm I escape from my prison,
Carnage caused by past dumb decisions,
Done, so why be needlessly glum,
I learned when crashed and burned in dry runs,
Got my boss cross in my one on ones,
Now redeeming my self-esteem so I’ve won.’

‘New found vigour, changed my demeanour,
Lament dissent, repent misdemeanours.
Washed my mouth out at the dry cleaners,
Match fit, trapped it, banged in a screamer!’

‘Goals out there to get but gotta set them,
Cart full of apples on the wet an upset them,
Cynics wanna drag me down won’t let em,
Finally dropped my bad pesky penny,
Let go resentments, now hardly any,
Stride with purpose, now choosing sagely,
Done with trivial pursuits that aged me,
Detected them before affected gravely,
No one can live in my head except me,
Threw you all out and bought a new key,
Switched my stained glass for double glazing,
You wouldn’t believe the savings, it’s amazing,
All from stopping getting smashed and blazing
Had enough of stressing over time I’m wasting.’

‘New found vigour, changed my demeanour,
Lament dissent, repent misdemeanours.
Washed my mouth out at the dry cleaners,
Match fit, trapped it, banged in a screamer!’

‘Now only chasing ladies worth chasing,
Worthy, entice those who used to swerve me,
Scared unnerved me, now more sturdy.
Gym’s made me slender, burly not curvy,
Never ate crusts so hair isn’t curly,
Sacked off Tinder, no longer pervy,
Wanna catch worms like birds so up early,
Turds now thick like curd, come out curly,
Redressed the balance with fruit n fibre,
Unearthed my talents, became a survivor,
Stealthily hunt prey like a tiger,
Self-pity slain through sights by my sniper,
Consequently cast my net wider.
Spreading further than a broadband provider.’
