Human
Sat In The Toy Car, Chatting, I Can Imagine Laughing
Happy Like Most Young Boys Are. Cracking
A Smile, After A While He Was Back In - The Home
Mother Making Sure His Hair Was Never A lacking A Comb
In A Planet Of His Own, And In This Planet Never Standing Alone,
His Dad Carried A Phone, That Was The Size Of His Arm
Read A Life In His Palm Describe Times That Were Thriving And Calm
Remember These Assemblies Complete With Bible And Psalms,
Just A Child With A Charm Who Didn't Know About Religion
Despite The Fact His Parents Still Called Him Christian, Still Thought Of Wishing
That His Grandma Never Died, Weathered Eyes Mesmerized
By The Clever Lines In The Books, Never Mind The Rhymes And The Hooks,
He Was Stuck In This First Phase, Before The Verse Plays
Down The Street Block To Sweet Shop On Thursdays,
Caterpillar Cakes on birthdays
Maybe You Struggle Every Night
You Tussle And You Fight
The Hustle And The Bustle
With Every Muscle In Your Might
But When We're Looking At This Life
It Is But Suffering The Price
Of Being Human (Repeat)
Break The Story Down Like Syllables Or Intervals
And Yes The Toy Got Car, It Got Stolen By Criminals
My Dad is Fairly Cynical, My Mum is Fairly Spiritual
And Like All Of The The Others She's Still Waiting For A Miracle
And I Was Barely Lyrical, Hannah Was Rarely Critical
We're Taking It All Literal But Times Change,
People Born, People Die, And They Try Mind Games
Broken Pictures In My Mind Frame
Now Im Talking While Im Walking In The Light Rain
Feeling Life's Pain On A Permanent Brink,
Try To Stay Afloat While Some Are So Determined You Sink
Some Died, Some Cheated For A Year, Some Turning To Drink
I Can't Face It So I Trace It Into Words On The Print,
Form A Sentence Then A Verse And Then I Murmur And Think Of The First Days, Sweet Shops On Thursdays
Caterpillar Cakes On Birthdays
Maybe You Struggle Every Night
You Tussle And You Fight
The Hustle And The Bustle
With Every Muscle In Your Might
But When We're Looking At This Life
It Is But Suffering The Price
Of Being Human (Repeat)

Letter From Christian

Letters
Dear Dad,
Well I Guess I'm Kinda Sad That It Came To This Day
Your The Kinda Man Who Never Put His Pain On Display
Gave Me Happiness, Only To Take It Away
Now This Rapping Is, The Only Way I Can Say/
What I Feel Cos We Still Can't Speak Man To Man
Age 17, 1981 To Duran Duran
You Cycled Like Life And Your Life I began To Scan
Mez Died Of Cancer And Your Left On Your Own
In The Early Days I Waved As Your Left From Our Home
Destined To Roam And You Never Could Have Known
What The Weeks Away Were Like That We Spent All Alone,
A Young Boy Whose Dad Never Really Ever Answered The Phone,
Now I'm Grown And I Feel I have To Ask For A Loan
Not For Money But Your Time But Time Is Your Money
And My Eyes Maybe Runny As I'm Running Out Of Rhymes
To Describe, You Were Funny. In My Mind It Is Sunny
As I See, You and Me, Memories Moving Fluidly,The Rain Came
Same Name, Now My Dad? Who Is He?
The Same Man That Not Me To Lie,
Broke His Vows To His Wife And Can't Even Look Me In The Eye
The Same Man That Never Cried, Cried
From The Shame That Was Raging Inside,
I Love You Or Try To, Rather Hug You Than Fight You,
I've Fought You Once, Once More Than Any Son Would Ever Like To
Now Mum I Know You've Never Had An Easy Run
But Even In A Storm You Will Try To See The Sun
Your passed On Your Faiths And I Now Believe In Some
Im Proud To Be Your Son
The Harder Life Gets is The Closer We Become
I'm Supposed To Be One, Holding Us In Place
Like A Holster For The Gun, Tragedies Were Triggered
This Family I Figured Was Close To Being Done,
No Drink Is In My Liver, Nor Smoke Is In My Lungs
Though I'm Hopeless And i'm Young
The Lyrics I Deliver Are As Potent As The Drums
You Helped Me With My Homework, To Focus On My Sums
Multiplied My Hopes When You Noticed There Was None
Felt Like Life's Strife We Were Gonna Overcome,
But I Guess This Time There Is Nowhere We Can Run,
The Moment Has Begun, Yet We Endeavor
I Used To Wonder Why Things Couldn't Be Forever?
By The Time That You Receive This Letter
I'll be Surprised If You And Dad Will Still Be Together
Will I Believe It? Never
I Won't Put My Rain Coat On Till I Can Actually See The Weather
So I Hope For The Best, Keep My Cards So Close To My Chest
I Hate To See You When Your Broke And Depressed,
But For Your Children You Cope With The Stress,
Dads Loves Us, I've Seen Our Photos When I Open His Desk
Now Hannah, I Know That We Seem Never To Agree
Your Struggling To Study For Your Vetenary Degree
Why Must Your Eyes Be Leveled At Your Feet/
Why Must You Think You Are Heading For Defeat?
Your Not Stuck, Your Not A Record On Repeat
It's Pot Luck I Really Reckon You'll Succeed
If In Yourself You Believe Then I Bet You Will Achieve
And In The Future, We Will Definitely See
Whatever That We'll Be Will Be, Ce sera
Gotta Raise The Bar,
Act Like The Paparazzi And Chase The Stars,
Chase pavements Or Chasing Cars
Make Statements or Play Guitars, it Wont Matter Cos' The Place Is Ours
I'll Take This Far, To My Family I Say You Are
The Ones Who Have Always made The Mark,
And When We Break Apart, I Can Say That It Will Break My Heart
But The Sorrow I Will Borrow For Tomorrow
And I'll Use It To Paint My Art, I Remember When We Played The Charts
Sunday Top 40, How Did It Get To The Point
Somedays Not Talking, Someday I Guess It Must Have Stopped Working
I Used To Say To Myself, I'm Really Not Hurting
And I'll Make This Clear
Mum And Dad Splitting Up Always Used To Be My Greatest Fear,
Now I'm Old Enough To Face It Here, Taste The Tears, Though The Day Is Near

Soulful Stuff
I Met This Girl When I Was 12 Years Old
And What I Loved Most She Had So Much Soul
I Would Unfold Every Story She Told
And There Were Many, She Taught Me Like Jenny
In The De La Soul Song, Anything Goes Wrong
Then I Tell Her In The Form Of Acapella
All The Fella's Haven't Met Her, Can't Forget Her
Once You Have Done, She Took My Heart For Ransom
So Now I'll Talkabout Her To My Grandson
More Spirit Than A Phantom, Living In A Mansion Is Irrelevant
In Touch With The Elements, Hailing From The Tenements
Of Residential Settlements, They Said She Was American
But Never Bin Confined To A Place Or To Space Or To Time
See Her Face When I Rhyme To Remind Me
Adjacent To Mine Is Her Soul, And It Graces The Lines On The Scroll
I Told Her All About Every Fight In My Home, Now You Know
She's Made of Soulful Stuff
(Adlibs, And Samples)
Somebody I Was Honored To Discover, Common Used To Love Her
Persuaded A Grown Man To Write A Sonnet To His Mother,
Never Following Another, She's The One
Forever Ever Telling Me To Turn My Speakers On
See Beyond The Surface, On The Beat And On The Verses
Often On The Street She Converses, Maybe Speaking In Curses
Frequently Nurses The Skill, But Then Again Us Rappers Are Ill
Happening Still, Many Say That She Is Happy To Kill
Thats So Inaccurate I'm Laughing At Her Faboulous Feel
Cos I Know Her And She Knows Me Too
Fortunately I Am Now One Of Her Chosen Few
To Offer Overviews Of The Soldier Who Overthrew
Chains On The Neck, Not For Fame or Respect
Nor The Name Or The Reputation
Saw Kids Who Never Went To School And Gave Them Education
She's made Of Soulful Stuff
(Adlibs & Samples)
