    I didn't think I would do love songs...
    This album is all about love... in its various appearances
    It was written and recorded over the space of just eleven days and is dedicated to someone in particular...

    So sit back, relax & enjoy some feel good music.
    In my opinion, its my best work to date.

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.

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.

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

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...

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...
10.
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
