You think you’re hard ‘cause you threw me in a cold cell?
You think you’re cold ‘cause you giving me the hard sell?
You’ve shown your cards and this game is getting old.
Hell, you just mad ‘cause I’m ******* wit’ your cartel!
Huddle up, cover up.
I’ll call your mother up.
Ask her if she’s proud of her son
Then we’ll snuggle up.
Make another little pig squeal; hit the double-up.
Pack a bowl, lean back and we bubble up.
Another day in the life of a citizen.
Getting chased down by the pigs
‘cause we dissing ‘em.
Wool in your eyes?
That’s their lies.
Don’t be missing ‘em.
Always spoke the words of the truth,
Now I’m spitting ‘em
and I don’t need no introduction.
Please, no interruptions.
Quiet down! We’re here to talk about corruption.
You’ll make a copy, right?
Free for reproduction.
These ************* think that nobody can touch them:
Shouting HANDS UP!
Yeah I see ‘em on the clock.
‘cause your time’s running out.
Tick, tick tock.
You want a witch hunt?
Put me in the dock
And we’ll see who’s the ***** when
You’re ******* on my ****
‘cause I’m gonna rid your face
Of that smug little grin.
Convinced the world I’d lost it.
Oh! But I’m about to win.
So little pig, little pig, let me begin
‘cause like an anorexic hospital my patience wearing thin!
I said…
Prosecution full of lies and irrelevance
***** please! Don’t insult my intelligence.
You want respect? Well excuse my irreverence,
But a little birdie said you’re fabricating evidence!
Beneficent, benevolent.
Arresting your malevolence.
I’m shattering your elements.
Establishing a precedent.
My work may be inelegant.
My actions are unhesitant.
But when we gonna talk about this ************* elephant?
You know it’s tragic
How you cannot see the logic.
******* neurons are nomadic,
Your intelligence sporadic.
Ugh!
You’re an infection, I’m the,
Antibiotic.
Sick enough to turn a man
******* spasmodic episodic.
Drink swill from your buckets
While you steal from our pockets.
Red pill. Better **** it cos you’re,
**** out of luck.
Deep-roots to your habits.
Blue suits to the Sabbat.
You’re Masonic yet moronic,
And you know I’ve ******* had it
With this ********
Cos you’re full of ****
Forked tongues set to stun with a full clip.
You’re just a bully and
I’m sick of all your school ****
Law unto yourself
But I won’t let you enforce it,
‘cause I came to rescue an angel,
Heaven-sent,
and I can smell what kind of **** this is.
Yeah, it’s evident
You’ve been intimidating witnesses.
Like FGM.
You kidnapped Themis and Astraea
And circumcised their ******** – is
This a ******* joke?
Are you for real ************
It’s the Devil you invoke.
What’s the deal ************
This a dreadnought you provoked
And I’m steel ************
Now it’s time you ******* spoke.
Take the wheel ************
What, you got nothing to say,
And it’s too late to pray?
Justice coming your way,
Now truth has entered the fray.
So I’m passing the mic
‘cause we gonna indict.
Focus the limelight.
******* be ammonite!

Everyone's got something to say.
But they don't listen,
'cause they don't care.
Just want to softly slip away.
As moonlight glistens on the ocean,
the Mother whispers in the air.
I tried to leave it all behind.
Lay the past to rest
and free myself from pain.
Don't know how I could be so blind!
They'd never let it be that easy.
So they destroyed the plans I'd lain.
It doesn't matter now.
All the bridges are ablaze.
There's nothing left of what I knew.
I guess it's funny how I told you
"I won't desert you."
I never meant to hurt you.
-
I want you
to know that I'd do anything
to hold you one more time.
Your beauty is the only thing
I need you
to understand that you don't have
to be the things I see
to hear those words from me.
I love you...
-
But everybody's got their games to play.
I stand on the sideline,
forever watching from afar.
Why would you believe the things they say?
Do you remember when I'd hold you
and we'd look up at the stars?
You told me that you longed to feel again.
But every time I brought that closer,
you just moved further away.
You used to say I take away your pain.
But now I just seem to burn you
with every word I say.
-
So I want you
to go and find your calling.
To spread your wings,
chase freedom without falling,
and I need you
to understand that I could live without you.
It's not about you.
but I love you
to smile the way you do
each time I'm with you,
and there's still so much more
that I would give you.
I'll relive the joy we've had
each time I close my eyes.
No future and no past.
I love you

"This evening I sat by the river
and watched the sun set on the hills.
Now daylight's long gone, I don't shiver.
Wrapped up in these boxes of pills.
Don't know if I took six or seven.
The wine's gone and it's getting late.
But I'll be on that first flight to Heaven
and honey you know I can't wait"
-
As she shines down on the world far below
she will smile, 'cause she knows
I'll be reading her letter.
But she couldn't tell me that she had to go.
Ask me why; I suppose
that I'd never have let her had I known.
- -
Well since then I've seen eighty-odd seasons.
Now I know how you learned to fly,
and I guess I agree with your reasons
why I couldn't have my goodbye.
It was never enough to adore you.
When I couldn't repel the attacks.
There was nothing my love could do for you.
It was cruel to keep pulling you back,
-
and so I sit here where you watched the light fade.
You've been gone for so long
but I finally get it,
and all I can hear is the promise I made
to stand tall and be strong.
But I'd never have said it had I known.
- -
Now I feel like I'm not far behind you.
I take one step closer each day.
But there's someone here who's just like you,
so I think, for the moment, I'll stay.
When I close my eyes I still see you.
Not forgotten, and never replaced.
But sometimes I swear she could be you
when she puts that same smile on my face.
-
Had I been blessed with your wisdom, I know
I'd have gone with you there.
It'd be for the better.
Can't wait to rest, need to let this pain go,
and I say I don't care
but I'd never have met her had I flown.
- -
She thinks she doesn't deserve me,
that she can't be what I say she is,
and I can't find a way to make her see
there's nothing I could want more than this.
But soon she'll be far in the distance
when I've said my goodbye one last time,
and I don't understand this resistance
to my plans, now I've made up my mind.
-
When I was lost, alone, battered and scared
there was nobody there
to show me it was worth it.
Now suddenly they're pretending to care.
But I've seen through their stares
and I'm leaving this place they call 'home'.

Look kindly upon us
As we stand in your shadow.
Limbs outstretched,
Calm but forever reaching,
Searching,
For new things untold.
Prospering in unison.
Unspoken harmony.
Sharing,
Communicating
Not through words,
Nor war, nor wares.
But through feeling and knowing.
Loving in purest form.
Ever-embraced,
Entwined as one.
Everlasting.
Take back what is yours.
But look kindly upon us
For the few will stand tall in your honour,
And your world will rest once more.

Hey,
are you happy?
You say you're happy?
I see your plastic smile!
Don't try to tell yourself
that you can't see me.
You can see,
and I've been here a while.
I've seen generations come and go.
I've watched the embers glow and fade
with every failed crusade.
Well-meaning souls drawn down devil's path.
Each further than the last.
Never learning from the past.
But you made your choices.
Turned salvation to incarceration.
Ignored the voices
of the ones who awoke first.
Those who braved the jaws of fear,
while you sought to sate your thirst
for the empty affirmation of your peers.
You hold inside your hand
the key to a new world.
push the button
It's not too late to make a stand.
But don't let yourself be fooled.
The masters of technology are feeding you your fate!
push the button
push the button
push the button
So lap it up.
**** at the **** of your destruction.
Fill your cheeks with satisfaction
from the sickly residue of all your sins,
and with every interaction
you fuel the chain reaction
that feeds the fires of evil deep within.
When will you wake up?
How will you make up
for three thousand years of ignorance and shame?
When your time runs out and the cycle starts again,
you'll only have yourselves to blame!
push the button
I see you pointing at me now. Look! You say.
But you don't understand why they don't see...
They're blinded by the lights
as they post and like,
swipe left or right.
So I'm just out of sight.

When gold gives way to silver
and the world's gone off to sleep,
Darling there's no need to shiver
beneath your cotton sheets.
I know your heart's empty
and you feel so cold inside.
As you try so hard to rest those weary eyes.
Let me show you how to reignite the flames that burned so bright.
Help you grow to find the strength to oust your demons from the night.
Girl I know that I can lead you from
the darkness into light.
If I could be with you tonight...
My love could be your lullaby.
My love could be your lullaby.
Darling there's no need to cry.
It's gonna be alright.
Let my love be your lullaby,
tonight.
I know it's hard for you
to feel safe with me.
I know too much...
know how to touch you
where it hurts.
But I just want to sing your melody,
and it sure helps to know the verse!
Let me feel your heartbeat next to mine
now baby, open up your mind
and let our bodies intertwine.
We'll be frozen here in time.
You feel my touch, you close your eyes
and feel my passion burn inside.
Then just lie here with me tonight.
Let our love be your lullaby.
Let our love be your lullaby.
Darling it's just you and I
and we'll be alright.
Our love will be our lullaby,
tonight.

I could publish a book of the things that you've done
to hurt me
You keep me on your hook but there's no way I'd run.
Don't desert me.
I know that for you, it's all about you.
But please don't let me go!
For at least I can feel each time you run me through.
Your cold steel's all I know.
- -
You're in control.
You've captured my soul and there's no escape for me.
For I want to belong, any way that I can.
I don't care if your love is fake (baby).
- - -
I'm every woman.
I'm every woman who can't accept
that a man should be kind.
So I'll follow behind you. Head down.
It's easier just to be kept in these chains.
-
Nothing remains now but the ghost
of the woman I could've been.
My friends turn away from me
yet still they grieve
as I fulfill their prophecy.
Some say I'm a prisoner of my own device.
Well maybe that's true
'cause I never think twice before
coming back to you.
Running back to you.
I belong to you!
- -
You're in control,
and so I extol virtues which I know you don't possess.
They think I'm blind, but I see
every moment with you as a test
I fear I'll fail.
- - -
I'm every woman.
I'm every woman who can't believe
that I'm better than this.
Just one kiss
from your poisonous lips
and I fall to my knees.
-
So open the door to my cell and I'll walk right in.
They say this is hell
but for me it's just home
and it's better than being alone.
Alone...
You're in control!

I'm guessing you think that I'll always come back
so you dish out the insults and launch the attacks
without stopping to think "Should I treat him like that?"
then you question the reason I finally snapped?
"If you'd just told me calmly"... you say, with a tone
that suggests that the fault was all mine, not your own.
As if you don't recall that you left me alone
and then told me I'd hurt you, and switched off your phone.
I'm guessing you think that I'll always be there
when you feel like you're drowning and gasping for air,
so when I reach out to you and tell you I'm scared
you just make me feel guilty and show you don't care.
"I can never give you what you want!" you reply.
But that's not why I said it, and so I ask why
you're reminding me of it, with tears in my eyes.
You've no time to explain 'cause you're out with that guy.
I'm guessing you think that I'll always return,
so you don't even bother with trying to learn.
You just tell me you care when it suits you, then spurn
me, then take a step back as you watch it all burn,
and you all stand in line, and you laugh as I call
out for anyone who's left, anyone at all
who can show me I'm wrong, who won't make me feel small.
Yes, you'll all stand in line and you'll laugh as I fall.
A whole lifetime I've spent being told that you care.
A whole lifetime I've spent making good things to share.
Then the one time I reach out, there's nothing but air.
No arms held out to catch me, none of you are there.
You're off with the ones to whom you give control
over all that you do, over your heart and soul.
You told me I'm the one who made you feel whole.
But you've taken with you all the things that you stole.
You've taken my trust and you've torn it to shreds.
You've stolen the good memories from my head
and left me with nothing. So let it be said,
that you can't take my life, for I'm already dead.
That person you all took for granted is gone
now forever. So goodbye, farewell, and so long.
But the shell still remains as his body lives on,
ever-drifting downstream like the widowed old swan.
Separated from faith and from hope once again.
Hatred and disappointment are all that remain,
so you'll all stand in line and you'll watch with disdain;
blaming me, and not you, for you're all just the same!
Now I look in the mirror and all I can see
is the face of a stranger looking back at me.
Just as I see in you, and now I can forsee
that he'll stand in line with you as you all decree
that I always deserved to be left far behind,
and you'll hail this a victory in your own minds.
Celebrating the day that you managed to find
the 'strength' to walk away. But I wonder, in time,
if you'll ever look back and see that you were wrong.
If you'll see it was me who was right all along.
But no matter, my voice is drowned out by the gong
because time's up already, and I'll be long gone.
I'm guessing you think that I say this in spite.
Go ahead, think what you will, believe what you like,
but the truth is while you're sleeping soundly at night
I'm still lost in the darkness, as you were the light,
and you vanished as fast as you came, and so cast
me into the world of shadows, into the past.
But the consequences of your actions will last
for eternity and this pain won't be surpassed.
So go, stand in line with the rest. Follow suit.
They will welcome you, history's newest recruit,
and you'll feast on a banquet of poisonous fruit
borne from the branches of what you impute.
The tree, of a seed planted long, long ago.
Firmly rooted, as old as time. Ever it grows.
It shall never be felled, I am sure. This I know.
So please do me a favour and let's both forego
all the lies, and the promises which won't be kept.
Let's not add to the tears I have already wept.
Don't pretend to me that you've not already stepped
past the point of no return, this I will accept.
So you'll all march in line and you won't hear my call
as there's nothing to say to you, so I withdraw.
Now my memory fades and soon you won't recall
that I ever existed.
I'm nothing at all!

Ay!
We grew up on the block.
Torn clothes, holed shoes, no socks.
Young boys tryna make it to the top.
On the corner selling flake and pushing rock.
Each morning another body drops.
Street soldiers; battle never stops.
No warning; raided by the cops.
Little sister screaming in her cot.
Life goes on. Get over the shock.
Loose lips get silenced by the glock.
Ain't no-one speaking on the dock.
Need green so we hustle round the clock.
Quick raid but we didn't get a lot.
Hear voices tellin' us to stop.
Look back, see my brother gettin' shot.
No choices. This is all we got.
-
We grew up on the block.
-
Now as our brothers lay dead,
as the world burns around us
just like my father said
and the fighting surrounds us.
We cover our heads
from the cops as they pound us.
But unbroken, we swear
that we'll never back down.
We will not live in fear.
We shall never be bound.
We're the kingmakers here.
We're still running this town!
So whilst we shed a tear
for the ones in the ground,
we'll make the rivers run red
and the bullets rain down.
-
But as we lie here tonight
still sleeping on the floor
I just can't help but think that
there must be something more.
You ask if Mummy's come home...
just bailffs at the door.
Little sister I'll protect you.
You're the one thing I adore.
You can't be living like this.
You're just a little girl,
I swear I'll find a way out.
I'll build a whole new world
where you can be anything.
You'll be incredible!
We'll make our mark in history.
We'll be indelible.
- - -
But right now I gotta go.
Don't let anybody in.
Got a hook-up for the blow
and another little thing:
We got raided at the grow.
They think Micky's gonna sing.
So we're putting on a show
and we're taking care of him.
-
They got him in the van
but it's gonna be OK
Uncle Sammy's got a plan.
They ain't gonna get away.
Gonna light the ****** up.
Muthafuckers better pray!
Ain't nobody going down.
He won't see another day.
- - -
So little sister don't you fear.
Not long til I'll be here.
I know you're hungry baby.
I hear you loud and clear.
I'm always right beside you
even when you think I'm not.
I'll always come back for you
baby you're all I've got
-
cos we grew up on the block.
-
Hey little sister can you hear me?
Oh baby, please don't cry.
You know it hurts me so much
to see tears in your eyes.
I know you can't forgive me
but I swear I didn't lie.
I was gonna change things for you,
build us a brand new life.
I never saw it coming,
thought Luther had my back.
I turned and saw him running
before the world turned black.
I'm glad you got some money.
I knew you'd find my stack.
You know it's kinda funny...
it says 'Brother' on my plaque.
-
Cos that's a joke, right?
It should say 'Failure' or something.
It's up in smoke.
Life's ****** up for you, I bailed on you.
Running with those guys was stupid.
I should've stayed home with you kid.
Now you're grown up and your new kid
cries cos there's still no food!
-
It's all my fault. I'm sorry.
I know that doesn't help.
Words can't buy clothes for Lori
or put food on the shelf.
I wish I'd held you longer
before I went away.
It might have made you stronger
to fight another day.
-
You tried to stand on your feet.
Tried to pay your own way.
Working two jobs with no sleep.
I'm so proud of you!
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself
cos you got back in the game.
You were born into this hell.
You didn't cause all this pain.
-
I loved you so much baby
since I stood by your cot.
I'm still right here beside you
even though you think I'm not.
I wish that we could just find
a way to turn back the clock
but still the cycle continues...
cos we grew up on the block.

Tonight I fly away.
Need to take some time,
find a way to leave my pain behind.
Touch down on pure white sands,
step out to the promised land.
The lasers shine,
the music plays.
I find myself back in my church again.
I feel it flowing through my body!
So high, my eyes are hazy.
The whole club's going crazy
and though the lights are blinding
I could swear I see you smiling
back at me.
How could it be?
How could you find me?
Has fate brought us together?
I didn't think I'd ever
see your face again
but here you are now
plain as day my friend.
Don't know why I left you behind.
You were always on my mind...
You were always on my mind.
So let me take you by the hand,
take our next steps on ****** sands.
We'll burn our flames,
erase the pain,
light up the skies again.
So hold me now in ecstasy.
Forget the world, just you and me.
Just like the way it used to be.
We'll watch the sunrise on the crystal seas.
Tonight we'll fly away.
