‘Simple beat as we like words,
This track ain’t for children and teenage birds,
My listeners discerning they cook with herbs,
Forever eager to learn to pick up pearls,
Can distinguish Queens English complex words,
Can da bad man slang get off my nerves,
Together come to terms with grave concerns,
Grapple with what one observes that disturbs,
Resilient build up our life preserves,
Amass an arsenal no time for spurs,
Otherwise impartial what facts affirm,
Civilized all queue and we wait our turn,
Unimpressed by pretence and its purpose served,
With eloquence we express our subjective words,
We’ve a nest we invest and expect returns,
Benevolence elegance what this craft deserves,'
‘By playing this track you just made a statement,
That rap is for you more than entertainment,
Not just bragging how you tread the pavement,
Sell drugs and women in turn for payment,
Wound me up woke up / became impatient.
Fueled by fools that became complacent!!!’
‘Baulking at Stephen Hawking talking, automated,
It’s not your sound a computer made it,
Not your voice it’s prefabricated,
Strike a chord or left bored, you’re cheese and grated,
Fucking hate it, slate it and won’t debate it,
You’re inept, look windswept and aggravated,
Found a get out clause that I’ve activated,
Took myself off pause now I get rotated,
Fixated that rap’s calling me to save it,
Why be bashful when captivated,
Advocate my take more sophisticated,
Uplift with my wrist which I masturbate with,
To discerning listeners I am obligated,
Worthy point to make then you articulate it,
But be mindful from where it’s originated,
Express don’t regress, make people hate it.’
‘By playing this track you just made a statement,

‘Life’s not ideal, but ours enshrined,
We keep it real state of mind we can get behind,
Have a say in the way we embrace mankind,
Interact with tact pride swells inside,
Just because some are plain dumb, deride,
Doesn’t mean we succumb and we run to hide,
We face and embrace what can plague our mind,
Healed knowing, we’re growing, when intertwined,
Wide open eyes to the bright blue skies,
Paradigms of Paradise I won’t relinquish,
Attempt to present something more distinguished,
I’ve a higher power you can hear it steer me,
This flow I bestow her gift to cheer me,
If you like it too then you have left me teary,
I’ve regained my faith as you have proved my theory,
There’s hope for dope hip hop we love dearly,
Fight fiercely I’m yours sincerely.’
