Welcome To My World

It's the rapper that you probably never heard about,
Press my name to your lips - word of mouth,
Mate I murder doubt, every rhyme is that Big Bang shit
Einstein couldn't work it out, like the shoulder press
Plus I'm the reason these MC's twitter feeds saying that their so depressed,
I went from under to over stress
You predicted raps answer - no one guessed.
And he aint gripping up a gun,
I'm doing well at my uni or I'm living with my mum,
Right, you see my daddy was a rolling stone,
Balling but he went too far, he was overthrown,
My world shook, so I'm left in a broken home
Now you paying more for my bars - toblerone
Because I really need the money,
My life is just a bad joke,
It isn't funny like the chuckle brothers
I've withstood what would buckle others,
Not seeing this, your Oedipus - blind motherfuckers
Geddit, but no mythology, see I'm live in the flesh - biology
Free knowledge I aint charging you a college fee,
Listen and learn and call me sir when you acknowledge me....
Know the ledge and, follow the leader
MC's are needing inspiration - wanting a breather (breather)
I aint forgot the procedure, I'm not giving you a break
Or no more oxygen either.
I aint stopping till your lost in a fever, and non believers
See my money locked away inside a vault in geneva.
I'm eager - still I'm waiting in the wing
Like William and Simba I've been waiting to be king,
No lying, I don't do it for the pride,
I do it for the journey, I don't do it for the ride
I do it for my family cos everytime we cried,
Hit me like an avalanche, i'd never let it slide
Yeah I'm climbing up my everest,
With a mind to create - call it genesis,
Same time I can't afford a day of rest,
Not while I stay oppressed by the radio like KRS
One shot, thats all your given
I'm so forward focused, thats right - driven
Keeping on going, though I aint in the green
Born to have an empty wallet - it's in my jeans
I get jealous like Othello in the fiction
But I keep it under wraps like a heroin addiction
It's getting under my skin, couldn't choose one girl
I need a number to ring, you aint engaged?
That's a wonderful thing, your calling me a tosser
But you wanted a fling.

When I Met You
03:14

I'll tell a story like Dickenzian prose
Going back like the century of Benjamin goes,
Can't forget when we met, I still remember the clothes
You were wearing in the cold that December imposed.
I froze, until our flow of conversation
Kick-started my heart, so for this whole operation
I was patient-ly waiting to wake up out the dream I'm in,
Waiting and praying, that you would pull me deeper in,
Hook
By evening I'm sleeping with you, breathing in your perfume
Mates won't believe that I've been with her in her room,
(Huh) That 'too good to be true' shit,
Yeah, yeah guess I knew I would lose it
That's life but I live it like tomorrow aint a consequence
Of tonight I'm, thinking I've finally got the sense
That, my, reality is dawning,
Your born to be a star, I wish I'd see you in the morning.
Hook
Your fresh like Spring from the Wintertime,
Seeing those eyes switch a saints to a sinners mind,
So if I now commit a crime,
Yeah that's right I'm guilty, of trying to fit you in a rhyme,
See it's impossible to write you,
I try to find a simile but aint nothing alike you,
Nor any colour, bright enough to paint you,
You were my dream, till my dream it became true.

Something To Behold
04:43
|

I wanna tell you bout the life that I'm leading,
I never thought that I would find what i'm needing
Never knew that I would find it so young,
But the timing can't be righter, for a writer
I reside inside a kinda brighter type of world
Trying to decipher girls, men will never achieve
The way you make me feel will forever intrigue
Me, I'm thinking your forever at least three
Times a lady that the one like that Lionel Richie knew
Whenever I'll be rhyming, every time I try to picture you,
Switching shoes with another guy I never could
Even if he had, the money and the fame
Funny that my brain,
Felt lost like tears on the cheeks when their running in the rain
At times when I knew that I upset you
Now I smile, it was destiny I met you
Chorus
When I met you it was all or nothing,
Said I wouldn't fall in love yet,
You called my bluffing,
For thats what it was
Could it happen to Muz?
Never used to think it would
It apparently does,
Move in the strangest ways and forms
Called Christian
It don't mean I praise the Lord
But something more, than usual occurred
That's why I'm drawing out your beauty with my words
Chorus
They played me on radio one,
If I ever had fame you'd be me saving from,
Changing to a different man
I know i'm happy now, I don't just think that I am
When I wrap around you with my arms and breathe
I'm closing my eyes cos I can't believe
How my far my dreams have journeyed to,
The waking world, I'm nervous true
Mistakes unfurl, at first I threw
Chance after chance away,
I swear it, like I'm holding up my hands to say
I know now at last where the answers lay
Love was a mystery, poets in history
Have tried to fit the key and unlock the chest
Where secrets of the heart are often kept
I found them, i'm lost for breath

All Or Nothing
03:23
|

For a while there were difficult times,
I was sitting in my little room thinking of rhymes
Drying up and my blinking my eyes
A man's on the brink if he cries,
Simple advice, courtesy of my own mind
Oh my, know I shouldn't be feeling so lied
To, when I guess I'm to blame
For that unhappy house on memory lane
No need to cry, this is why
Let me tell you something, my love is true
It don't have to be so all or nothing
Just let it rock, to the top
Let me tell you something, it's me and you
It don't have to be so all or nothing
Part of life is to live with regrets
But the voice in my mind kept kept delivering threats
Like, do you wanna be how your daddy is?
Replied no, cos I've seen how mad he is...
I guess I had to change my ways,
I was lost now I'm found like amazing grace
Too late to be saving face,
I admit I was an idiot for chasing dates
Taking place, from midnight to 8AM
Hit the bar and slip my card into the ATM
Get inebriated, later maybe get a lady friend
Hated them nights, so I'm glad to say I made it end
See I don't wanna live live that
By November, I told myself to get right back
On track, on the path that would lead to the one that I love
Nothing in the world could be stronger than us
No need to cry, this is why
Let me tell you something, my love is true
It don't have to be so all or nothing
Just let it rock, to the top
Let me tell you something, it's me and you
It don't have to be so all or nothing
That nobody has nothing on you
Like the song upon the radio
I'm running you through,
Thoughts that will you carry you like Cinderella carriages
Couples our age considering their marriages!?
That's crazy we're way too young
Plus Julia has raised up a patient son..
But I got plans for the days to come
And the weeks, and the years
With you, so I pray they come
True.

Home To You
01:32
|

I know the way I've been before has been wrong,
Treating you the way I wasn't meaning to...
I know that you can see it all in these songs
That everything I feel for you is real and true,
Cos me and you was something unfamiliar and new
To be in love and being loved in return,
Is something we yearn but then again we never really find,
For a Romeo & Juliet, and Bonnie & Clyde,
There's a million more cold broken hearts,
A million more who got thrown apart,
So it's lucky that we've found one another
Love I know it's true,
I'm hoping I'll be always coming home to you
Always coming home to you
It don't have to be so be all or nothing (repeat)
And I know we've had our ups and downs
But its worth fighting for
I love you

Be Alright
03:20

We all have our own insecurities
Needing nothing but a little reassurance please
Wherever you get it,
Worry only ever enters in your head if you let it,
I meditate and concentrate upon the positive things
It's odd to think about a God I got a problem with him,
Or I did when I was younger had no hold in my life
Now he's answering my prayers
So I know it's alright
A friend of mine looked me straight in the eye
He liked the song about my dad cos it related to guys
Like him, and all the others who had dealt with the same
I'm touched that you told me that I helped with your pain
In the sun, I remember how it felt in the rain
So I appreciate the light the more,
A journalist once asked me what I'm writing for?
I replied I'm inspired by the sights I saw
But these days I'm thinking slightly differently
I dedicate the song to someone who is missing me,
I smile when she plays them at night
I'll be there to care for her, to make sure she's alright
So now I always try hold that idea that
For every dark night there's a brighter day
And yes I know it's a cliche but you should try it,
So at this exact moment in your life,
The pain that you know, the evil that you've seen
Whatever you are going through,
Take it from me, one day it's gonna be alright
Thats what I was told when I was four years old
By my Grandma, and that stayed with me
So to that Lady, here's a little song I wrote
It's a letter to Heaven...

Letter To Heaven
02:38

Lilian,
It was 1995, when you were so alive with a light up in your eyes
Now your brightening the skies, like a diamond in the night
Twinkle on my little star the timing wasn't right but you left us
Breathless, I remember sitting round at breakfast with coloring books
You would cough and mum was giving you them worrying looks,
Then you would stop and I'd forget it,
Now your videos I wish that I could edit, and rewind back
Get the time back while I rhyme tracks,
Sorry if I got upon your nerves like your synapse,
When I did then you'd forget it like a mind lapse,
Everything I ever learned from you is in my raps,
So I'm writing this letter, let the paper fly high light as a feather
In the sky and it finds you in a heaven in the kindest of weather
I know life aint forever but our it time it was severed too fast
Flew past quicker than an Angel, sitting with the pain still,
News flash. ... we have changed everything has rearranged
Like the place mats, table set for three because we face facts.
Like any family should, I know reality aint doing my sanity good
You offered charity like any old samaritan would
But now your gone I got your memory and carry your blood,

Happy
04:50

I was sitting on the back of the bus,
Last night, just thinking about what happiness was
Can I have it after everything that's happened to us?
Yes I'm laughing as I'm rapping to a track that I love,
And my mum said actually muz,
To be happy, matter of fact doesn't have to be tough
So I take her advice after what she's seen
Even if I aint that sure of what she means...
Me, I was a kid seeing trouble and strife
There were fights every night between a husband and wife,
At the time I was a child, I wasn't loving my life,
Now it's all in the past, I've been recovering right
Booking my flights in the summer with my girl
But I don't need to be discovering the world
I got everything I wanted in this moment in time,
Right here this is happiness, spoken in rhyme
Chorus
I was sitting at the front of the plane,
Wondering when I'd be going back to London again
But looking forward to meeting Hannah and Mum
I'm a - bad brother and an average son
See I'm never really there when I'm needed the most
I'm supposed the strong one keeping us close,
Or buying you a house with my music career,
Doesn't matter who hears I'm reducing to tears
Many listeners but I aint selling albums
Money and the riches, we'll be happier without them
Don't believe me, just look at up my father
In an expensive but empty apartment,
I write for my friends in my heart from the start when,
We planned out a path to the stars and the target
Was far as the skies and above
I'm already there, in the life that I love
I'm so happy
Chorus
I'm sitting on the deck of a boat
Twenty seven years old, just a regular bloke
HMV selling every record I wrote
So I'm reckoning my family could never be broke
When our life was depressing we coped
I remember those days now a decade ago
Mum said if we hoped, then we'd make it alright
Now I sleep full of peace, I don't wake in the night
If I did I'll see the woman who was changing my life
All that time ago, a while ago I made her my wife
And my dad even came to the wedding,
He's a good a man again, he's ashamed and regretting
What he did in the past but it's over now
I'm looking at my parents and both are proud
I'm reading to my son, all the stories I make
Sharing champagne, laughing with Rory and Jake (haha)
And my sister graduated at last
I congratulated her upon the day that she passed
Its the cloud that I hope I'm on
Reminiscing to the time that I wrote this song
As a nineteen year old kid with dreams
Now I know what this feeling means
See it seems, that happiness is easy to find
If it's hidden then by living you'll see it in time

Leave It all behind
I always speak from the heart,
From the start this has always been deeper than art,
Let it flow in your vein,
Call it food for the soul,
Getting over your pain
When I'm losing my hold
On my life and my brain
I take a second and breathe
And think about everything that I have ever achieved
Lillian told me I should be daring to dream
I'll do it to the day that I'm preparing to leave
Chorus
It's an album of love,
Let me raise you to the clouds and above
We'll see the world.
I'm proud of how far that we've come
I was blind, foolhardy and young,
Before a girl,
Opened up my eyes, now I don't portray
Myself the way I did, plus I know to pray
That mistakes I've made, are erased by time
Though for tonight,
Lets leave it all behind...

All That I Am
05:03

I considered saying a prayer,
To the Lord yesterday just to say I'm aware
That I'm blessed to be happy in the life that I lead
See rapping, means more than a rhyme and a beat
Any time of the week, I can write till I sleep
Then I'm dreaming kinda deep about what I will complete
I wake up in the morning so the cycle repeats,
Calling out to all the people that I'm fighting to reach
Its what I do it for, I remember on my school reports
I was good at english, bad at maths
So I can write an album but never the count the cash
Like Old King Cole when I sing from the soul
Don't know where to go on the road that I stroll...
Yeah the world aint predictable,
Stand for nothing you'll be quick to fall
Those I lost on the way, one day I'll be with you all.
I'm at university now,
Year five, wrote my first verse in the lounge
See I cleared away my personal clouds
Me and Rashy these days are rehearsing our sound
Plus he's always working it out
I tell him in this industry, the only thing thats certain is doubt
Every word that I spout will flow across a continent
Even fans in Brazil send a compliment
I'm confident that I could maybe get a career
I'll need the money cos I'm gonna be indebted for years,
When I finish my degree that I never really do
I'm an artist, though I never really drew
In the hardest, situations and nights
I decided it was time I should be gracing the mic
Mum you don't need to worry if your raising me right
I made it, so here's the greatest days of our life
Listen to my old songs, and it's plain to see
Somebody has brought about a change in me
And she knows who she is, through the years
I had thought, relationships were a synonym for war
Or a truce at the best, you were choosing a dress
Last night, wanting me to say which suits you the best
That's trust, - the masseuse for my stress
I'm asthmatic - but you loosen my chest
Truly beautiful yes, so let the music caress
Every part of you it doesn't touch, i'm doing the rest
See I never thought I'd ever write a love song
Let alone an album, people getting Muz wrong
Thinking what I rap I don't truly mean
But you know that I do, its not a movie scene
But if it really was heres where we kiss
I dreamed of this woman - there she is
