No need to say that I'm back No need to say that I'm back I've been right here I never left I speak from my soul again switching my flow again that is just the way I get down no need to be threatened I don't have a weapon I'm repping with lyrics and sound I was indifferent, now I am different I’m making a difference here I've been in obscurity with insecurities by faith I'm facing my fears I've felt like I have wasted my years I'm making it clear I'm changing the gear My drive to survive, thrive and go clear is getting much stronger every year Yes I'm articulate and I'm intelligent, excellent with every verse That isn't arrogance really it's confidence this gift here can never be cursed No need to say that I'm back No need to say that I'm back I've been right here I never left This is a marathon it's not a sprint though you better be swift to catch my drift Overnight success? That is a myth I'm testifying not pleading the fifth I'm no hitchhiker needing a lift But my mind travels through paradigm shifts Speaking in parables seems to be natural which rap genius will decode this My mind is dancing the steps are lyrics After I'm done I'm doing the splits Until then I am handling biz this dreamer has been in the pit I've been in a sewer of suicide kid Somehow I’ve crawled out of it By keeping the faith is how I now live working it out bit by bit No need to say that I'm back No need to say that I'm back I've been right here I never left As I am rambling business I'm handling taking risks but no I'm not gambling I'm beating the odds 'Cause It is my job Doing my victory dance again Beats I am making 'em Verses I'm blazing 'em Facts I am stating 'em Don't waste your time debating 'em we should be loving them instead of hating them I'm not gonna be letting them drag me down to their own level man Instead I'm gonna try show 'em that they can rise up and beat the devil man Flow like a current I'm relevant Moving with Divine intelligence My lips were blessed with eloquence That is why I speak with no hesitance No need to say that I'm back No need to say that I'm back I've been right here I never left

I’m just a human being being human being me I’m not a brand or a meme I’m human You can’t fit my soul in tweets I’m human I’m more than what you perceive I’m human You might try to reduce me I’m human Beautifully human flawed not perfect I don’t have to be perfect to know I’m worth it I’m deeply human I’m not an object Don’t care if you object I’m not subject To what you project negative or positive Your thoughts can’t trap me and I’m lovin’ it No amount of pixels can cover it What you see through your filter I’m above it When you think of me is a reflection of you Whether it’s a lie or whether it’s true If you try to put me down you are beneath me Take that in and understand it deeply I will always just be me My roots are strong and they’re deep There will be no moving me That is just how it will be I know my truth your lies can’t reach me None of your ridicule can ever defeat me Your bitter acts fall short so sweetly What you sent returned to you completely Your ridicule reveals you are the clown Your disrespect shows that you are down So low your low blows are pitiful You’re so insecure mindset minuscule but see I get it we’re all human Garbage in garbage out what are you consuming? I know you’ve been hurt inside you’re fuming I see through all this bile that you’re spewing You just want a laugh you just want escape You just want attention well here you go take You’re begging for it here’s some change I donate Now remember you’re human and be on your way I will always just be me My roots are strong and they’re deep There will be no moving me That is just how it will be Knowing my truth is a shield from your lies I know who I am deep down inside I have the antidote to your poisonous strife I speak life, deep life it nullifies all threats sent with malicious intent though you viciously vent I will always transcend and ascend above fads and trends After twists and bends I know how this ends I hope this sends a clear message out as I remain calm I won’t be stressing out and if I need to vent I’ll be letting out Everything I’ve held within I’m getting out I’m getting it now unresolved issues you’re projecting ‘em out You’re wrestling with insecurity and doubt You try to hide it all with the words that you spout Chasing cheap clout

It’s just me, myself and I And this vibe that I feel inside In this time of post truth and alternative facts I want to post truth and facts but alas Most are impressed with big numbers and popularity More than truth and moments of clarity They ask me How many subscribers do you have? I wonder why that’s an important question to ask I’ve dropped out of the popularity contest Seeking truth and speaking truth is my kind of quest Popularity was never the goal for me but expressing what's in my soul you see and so you see a soul that broke free from a crazy desire for many to know me I’m seasoned I serve gourmet verses live on stages But when read in dead silence still alive on pages tasty food for thought nibble on this Something for those thirsty take a sip I don’t know what vibe you’re on But see me I just wanna have fun Bask in the bright rays of the sun and when I’m done I will be gone They say truth is stranger than fiction but I think its strange how fiction has become an addiction Our brains are wired to love stories and narratives That’s not embarrassing it’s normal but also challenging because many love myths and legends and can feel threatened by harsh reality There’s nothing wrong with myths and legends But fake news is propaganda and fantasies Are more appealing when it is with pain you’re dealing We’ve all had fake smile concealing Deep wounds that still need some healing But through those wounds light enters in Like sun rays through wall cracks again I say this to all of you listening Catch these jewels as you listen in

How they met was like destiny or fate or maybe random then they had their first date They met up at this little cafe He had some tea she had a latte They went back and forth with the small talk That date morphed into long walks You know how it is when boy meets girl girl meets boy, boy promises the world They're trying to figure out if it's love or lust Maybe it's just infatuation a crush They decided to slow down and not rush They were always together and never lost touch He likes her, she likes him So why do I think the chances are slim That what they have will last, I think It's just summer love it won't even see Spring Summer's coming to an end, here comes Autumn Did they fall in love? The heat is scorching Like the way she felt for him but did he feel that same fire within? The small talk morphed to deeper conversation They talked a lot about their situation She was thinking way beyond the summer but on his calendar it's like there were no numbers He looked at her and said "let's live for the moment" She replied "but our future, we have to own it" he said "ain't ya heard the future is now?" she said "I hear what you're saying, please tell me how" He said "listen focus on the present Let's take one day at a time and lessen your worry about how things will turn out..." She interjected "what if things burns out?" He paused for minute He looked away into the distance He drank from his cup until his whole drink was finished She waited for his answer and searched his face while drinking The words "summer love" rang in his mind as he was thinking

Oh my What a feeling We're smashing Glass ceilings I'm not a doom prophet but I sense a lot danger I see familiar strangers in echo chambers Stuck in their own bubbles breathing fire Seeking validation it's all confirmation bias I say they like I'm not part of it It's a matter of the heart that's the heart of it So many sleepwalking claiming they woke It's like there's sleeping pills in a lot of their quotes all I see is memes with grammatical errors Fear is being fed fattening their terror A lot of times truth isn't what is sought You wanna know where your heart is? Check what you bought Sharpen your mind challenge your thoughts Some things can't be taught they can only be caught So whose report, will you believe? or will you just believe everything that you read? everything has a slant, everything has a lean even when I'm honest and say what I mean I see a lot of fragility, fragile egos Toxic masculinity, here we go peep the bravado man's swear they're hard though There's an embargo on all your cargo This system was designed for your failure The wool over your eyes stitched by a good tailor Are you just following a prewritten script On the set turning up saying "this is lit" Helplessness can make one fatalistic It's hard to not feel like a statistic Racism, sexism, fascism, neocolonialism lack of wisdom lack of vision, souls trapped in the system Falling through the cracks packing the prisons I cling to The Faith though I've lost my religion I stopped attending service it felt like escapism Online I see the back and forth debating It's amazing what I see people saying Some say how can a black man worship a white God They say Christianity is whitewashed Others say The Faith came to Ethiopia before slavery n colonialism came to Africa But none of these guys are Ethiopian Their version of religion came from Europeans So through a westernised lens they are seeing History shows we're seen as lesser beings That inferiority has been internalised If you've bought a lie, how can you rise God ain't white, Jesus ain't white He has bronze feet doesn't have blue eyes Greater is The Spirit on my inside My spirituality keeps me energised Our humanity daily is demonised We're treated as the other marginalised The mixture of fear and ignorance produces hate that is ridiculous an eye for an eye leaves the world blind Hate seems to win but love can't die

One day I just had to let it go when I did that everything just flowed I wanna share some knowledge make some sense Make a change, while I make some pounds and pence Along the way I lost and I’ve made some friends I’ve made mistakes, I try to make some amends When I’m in the ends I don’t stand out I just blend I’m not bait so I won’t trend I’m just myself I won’t pretend I don’t mind if you don’t know me Deep inside I know my soul’s free That is why right now I flow free I feel so free though I’m lowkey I just keep on scribbling dreams Writing visions sizzling scenes Before my inner eyes they gleam I’m more than meets the eye you see So I’m calm if you’re not impressed By the verses that I express I’m not moved by lack of interest I just shine on and manifest I wanna say I’m grateful I’m still here I’ve got some supporters and they still cheer They give me their ears and they still hear My nearest and dearest are still near I still feel fear Sometimes my eyes fill with tears I wish I could roll back the years No reversing so I shift gears Skkkrrrrrr there’s no swerving here In my own lane this person here Has learnt to push and persevere through situations so severe Life can really get tough right And you can feel so stuck right So many things are not right At least we’ve got hope We’ve got life Yes I know there is much strife and if it’s not in the spotlight Some act like they’ve not Got sight living life can be odd right? I wanna share my heart and touch some souls Honestly that right there is a personal goal this rhythm and poetry will never get old My passion burns hot in a world so cold as life unfolds I break through and I do break moulds Of opportunities I take hold Life has drama and I play roles But not just that I make scrolls direct scenes write scripts and so I don’t have to go with the flow I become the flow and show that there’s much more to me there’s much to us there’s much more man trust more things I’ll discuss There’s more gems in my catalogue as culture shifts across the map I evolve and adapt I express change through rap Those stuck in the past wonder how I do that

Do you Be you It’s ok to be you I shine so brilliant there’s no concealing it through verses I’m revealing it not signed but I’m sealing it real is what it really is You’re feeling it I’m spilling it wheeling and dealing it love is where the healing is That’s why I’m spreading it Not forgetting it, it’s embedded in My melanin even my skeleton Love for self is breath my friend More than just a fading trend I love the skin I’m in in the sun it’s glistening as you are listening Hope you’re envisioning Brilliance deep within If you’re asleep within, this is the awakening Open up and take this in Barriers we break again I’ll shake you up then shake your hand This is where the hatred ends No self-hatred here over here of self-care we are very much aware even if I shed tears and (I’m) forcefully fed fears By love I’m led here we keep a clear head here Do you Be you It’s ok to be you and it’s ok not to be ok You’ll get through Yeah it’s cool to be me I was fooled to believe That the tools to succeed Weren't inclusive of me But the clueless can’t see That it’s foolish to speak Like I’m stupid and weak as I move through the streets Now I move to the beat and prove through my speech that deep truth can reach I’ve got deep roots in me And the fruits on my tree are juicy and sweet It’s passion fruit I eat I’m choosy you see I choose carefully though I’m so carefree I do care deeply for those who care for me Popularity Is overrated see I don’t need you to like me If you’re like me then it’s likely That just being free free to just be Is what you seek In a world that’s bleak Spreading love and peace Will be my legacy So be you freely I will always be me Do you Be you It’s ok to be you and it’s ok not to be ok You’ll get through Do you Be you It’s ok to be you

Inhale Exhale Don’t forget to breathe Inhale Exhale Breathe in real deep Life can be a real challenge Things can make you lose balance So many things happen You start noticing patterns Things move in cycles Many things are vital For our survival And it can all spiral Out of control But I get back in my flow I quiet down my soul I recharge and glow I’m thankful I’m breathing As I take in air deep in and when doubt creeps in Somehow my faith deepens We are all living this life Moment by moment right They leave as they arrive Like waves with the tide Someone once said time Is a construct of the mind It is something we’ve defined something that has been designed To help us manage life Help us be organised It’s something we monetise They say time is money I Get through the stress and strife Counting my blessings I View moments with my eyes Sometimes they make me cry Moment by moment time is passing by appreciate the moment time tends to fly Inhale Exhale Don’t forget to breathe Inhale Exhale Breathe in real deep At times, time seems fast Other times it seems slow We want some moments to last But quickly they go The memories they hold Are stored in our souls All our memory banks are full of gold If you’re in a great moment It’s easy to miss it You’ve got to embrace it Hold it, kiss it. ‘Cause soon it will be gone and for it you will long Or it becomes a song and through that lives on It is just the way it is This is my experience I was once indifferent moments make a difference I cherish precious times Treasure yours I treasure mine When in pressure you will find It’s a way to measure time Precious memories I keep safe in my mind The freshness of them Can fade as time goes by That is why is we reminisce Sharing stories is bliss Past moments we do miss That’s why I’m saying all of this Moment by moment time is passing by appreciate the moment time tends to fly Inhale Exhale Don’t forget to breathe Inhale Exhale Breathe in real deep

I came just as I am I wanted to take a stand I did not understand The full scale of the plan I’m moving underground Below the the radar man I came in with a boom and I’m going out with a bang Yes my ministry of sound is underground And I am not showing signs of slowing down Gently down the stream I’m rowing down Like a never ending river flowing now Yes this beat poet had been beaten down But I’m beating the odds undefeated now I might seem around the bush I’m beating round But I’m always on point when I’m speaking out I feel like I’m fulfilling prophecy And there’s no stopping me Just keep on clocking me I know you’re watching me I do it properly Spitting philosophy Like I was Socrates I keep on rocking these Beats I’m dropping see How they’re poppin’ sheesh! Some keep mocking me It is shocking B There’s not locking me I stay up you see I’m way up and free I came just as I am I wanted to take a stand I did not understand The full scale of the plan I’m moving underground Below the the radar man I came in with a boom and I’m going out with a bang Even if you start off weak you can finish strong I know when things are peak it is really long But keep moving on things will move along And just sing along to this sing along Sing it strong at the top of your lungs And understand who is your strength and your song Turn this up even when things are going wrong And all you can say is what is going on? In my life so many things have shaken me They keep breaking me Down they’ve taken me Some have blatantly Forsaken me And they’re hating me But just wait and see I am breaking free As I’m making heat With these blazing beats and amazingly From within raising me Is something crazily To greatness waking me There’s no erasing me
