lyrics

‘Can’t decide which life’s more appealing,
Sat in this circle sharing these feelings,
Gleaming a sense of hope been concealing,
Finding a way to cope feel I’m healing,
Intense still sat on the fence do I need it,
Can’t make any sense of what I’m reading,
Still not knowing why I am here breathing,
Still not knowing myself and life’s meaning,
That’s the question I need revealing,
Not just how to stay sober each evening,
Stuck not giving a fuck stuck seething,
Joined the dark side and still can’t leave em,
Allied in legion can’t acquire freedom,
Feel more at home in a winter season,
I’ve a different view to you, think I’m Grecian,
Lack something I still need for completion,
Though on point, unhinged and uneven,
Can’t battle like cattle on underground trains,
At pains to reflect on that wasted stage,
Now rattling my cage in a ranting rage,
Dreaming that words I write on this page,
Can assuage me from my past wayward ways,
Can pay me enough to just gain a wage,
Feel I can repeal if unleashed onstage,
My rhyme’s Vikings striking on rampant raids,
Delighting at fighting as punches trade,
Swiping like lightning with bloody blades,
Rap flows through these twisting veins,
Practiced, cracked this now found my aim,
Up close or far away from long range,
Well aware how close I dare care to shave,
Well aware of the cost of how I behave,
No fear of our paths and them crossing ways,
Smack to crack bone don’t bruise or graze,
I’ve tried to comply but just can’t refrain,
From breaking the rules that you make in vain,
So why not engage with the new rap age,
Gotta stress unimpressed by the shit that’s played,
All sounding the same, you should feel ashamed,
You should fear when I’m near as I’ve dug your grave,
Potting tricky shots in tight pots from long range,
From where I sit I win every frame,
From where I sit lit off the chain,
From where I sit I’m a runaway train,
Fuck a chorus the beat couldn’t take the strain,
My flow’s tempo goes against the grain,
You’re all lame and all sound the god damn same,
Each track I lay down I just gain terrain,
One day I will get my deserved acclaim,
One day, it’s nothing but a waiting game!’
