My Name Is!?

Christian is written on my birth certificate,
Am I religious? Hang on, let me consider it...
Well probably not, cos God thinks I'm a little prick
Who said a prayer is like kinda like a christmas list, isn't it?
So give me shit, stripping chicks licking lips,
I'm only six, but I'm getting bored of pick and mix,
Is he sick? Well doctor take the temperature
My fluent influenza fluid flu is influencing ya...
Silencing ya, while getting friendlier
With a model from Valencia, foxy as Megan
But maybe sexier? I'm a liar...
Fire on my Calvin Kleins,
Jumping off a cliff when I mountain climb
See its like my brain is fighting itself,
Why are you rapping like this, I don't know it's writing itself...
See I'm torn in two, by the world I was born into
Here's some news for you, I aint reading off the autocue...
My psychological state
Logically is calling for a hospital date,
Working as a waiter, daily dropping the plates
Aint for me, I stay at home eating cereal with chocolate flakes,
Washing the slate clean, with the dribble from my daydream
Was how to start the day till I was eighteen...
Now I could be gambling, you could say I lost my head like I was Anne Boleyn
Ambling to school, 28 days late
Feeling like a zombie, let the pain take shape..
Its resembling me, assembly at 3, I was sitting
Spitting written's and dismembering beats
Please, I don't wanna talk to you...
Show and tell, here's the head of the last person to take me on
I brought for you...
Fuck what I ought to do...
That's why I'm at the Gates Of Hell
Like St Peter told me to report to you...
I see a lot of clones - Agent Smith
So I interrupt them all like Taylor Swift,
With a famous gift,
Coming home intoxicated every night,
Now I'm leaving all my neighbors pissed
Try to play with this?
Highly dangerous, I'm out of this world
Practicing with Aliens, under the Alias
Of a crazy misbehaving lazy kid,
Teaching em Sibelius, on space ships
Planet Earth better prepare for my presence
I'm not the best but fuck it I do a scary impression,
Telling my dad, look now spare me the lessons...
The only thing I learnt from you is how to swear with aggression
Depression used to be my company,
Girls keeping on dumping me...
The wrong type of bitches trying to be humping me,
Leave my thigh alone, I won't provide a bone...
Instead I'm fucking up my life -
Hand me the microphone...

Used to be surprised to get a valentine,
When I was young love was never what I had in mind,
First girlfriends hurled me like a whirlwind...
For the virgin version of myself, it was the worlds end.
Funny that your seeming sweeter than a honey trap,
A Queen Bee, the one that all of us were buzzing at
I bought you movie tickets, now I want the money back
At 13, I was hurting for certain thats why I fucking rap.
Same girl once was quiet
Now all the fellas in my neighborhood
Confess they wanna try it
On with her, cos her ass will make a thong quiver
Though the cheating is sufficient to make even the strong wither
So a lucky escape,
Next girl, summers later when a couple of dates
Went sour, I was getting chased out of a place
After a kiss which I guess didn't account for her taste
Ah, thats the end of me and Danielle,
Women had my head spinning like a carousel,
Now it's heaven but I used to be in a man in hell
Too shy to breathe, saying to myself, man inhale!
So I turned to a girl down the road from me,
But heard word she preferred many over me
Looking back with the eyes of the older me,
The younger me was somebody that really was a nobody
Despite that I was learning to kiss,
With the type of girl I heard will make you burn when you piss
Thinking of one in particular,
Every person in my peers put at least a lip to her,
Kids were fifteen pretending we were twenty one,
Never needed Marvin Gaye to play to say 'lets get it on'
Yes its wrong but its just our generation
A practical approach to sexual education
We were forgetting all the morals and ethics,
Resting on my laurels so the college professors,
Were telling me a failing man is simply not as impressive,
I track my past path by flashbacks and following stresses
Within my rap tracks to record, a place I been to before
With the beautiful, took ugliest detours....
For example I was seventeen, unzipping my jeans
For another girl i'd never seen, and that was in the street too
Without even a hi or a pleased to meet you,
Same thing on many weekends, the dance floor
We'd drink a lot, not think a lot and then become a man whore.
Saw the next girl maybe for a month or two...
Told me Muz I'm dumping you, not cos I'm not in love with you
It's cos I'm barely liking you and that makes me uncomfortable
I'm like clearly, was I the only guy - not really,
Also thought that a girl from my work, might be good from me
But I was too uncertain to flirt, met my ex next week
Thinking love had occurred while getting under her skirt
So then I coveted her - but we realised that what we had was never real
You told me it was never a forever deal
So I'm grateful your feelings were fateful,
Later in the week I was back to being shameful...
But I knew that I needed to change,
Cos a girl that I did love I nearly estranged,
By crossing wires and coming across a liar
Running across a fire of desire to admire the highest
And most beautiful form of any female,
You could all buy my album for details...
You know when you know, it's true for life
Lizzie, my path led to you - my future wife.

What if God was a woman,
Certainly we never saw her coming,
Always running as a young'un never gave them in my heart
My tools to break theirs in two truly state of the art.
Cutting edge - my lucks on the end of a fucking ledge..
Pushing it for a rush, trust I wouldn't pledge
A matter of time before I fell in love,
Feeling like my own brain was selling drugs...
Heaven - you can be high on this,
Belting out songs with eyes on where orion is...
Pioneers, journeyman and every kind of traveller,
Wanting the meaning of life, desiring to unravel her...
But I aint looking for the absolutes,
Hanging no knowledge from my poetry, don't grab the fruit,
See I don't have the answers...
We're stars, burning until we die like romances
Chorus
Actually you got my back, I never lack support,
Holding me down like gravity, don't have to be an astronaught
If I asked for it, you would give me space,
But we're too down too earth, in our own world
Such a fitting place, when we plan it right...
I could have my life revolving round you like your satellite,
You and I verse the universe, for a light year.
2012 do your worst, raining down the comets and the meteors
See the impact you had on me was even more..
Holding a Galaxy, watching Life On Mars
Thinking how bright those stars,
Must be, simply to have lead to me you
Everything you dream turns, eventually true
So listeners, wish upon the constellations,
Believe, it works miracles upon occasions...
Chorus

Inhale

Hello class i'm inviting you to take a seat,
Show you how with timing in your rhyming you could break a beat
Until I meet my maker, making heaven seven days a week
I'm more like Penny Lane, no I aint raking dough like Baker Street.
Now I'm back like I left suttin'
The one no one will wanna press, the red button.
College kid persona's gone and got your friend looking
Life's a bitch, you''ll get your fucking but she'll tell that you meant nothing
I was born the beginning of the nineties
Schoolwork more ticks than my Nike's
Highly likely find my psyche on the mic please,
Yeah, we can't be separated - siamese.
I spin the track around the planet like it's orbiting,
I spit the rap to hit the store affording warbutons,
It's in demand therefore I'll warn you all to get your order in
Hear my thoughts on borderline disorder we were brought up in,
The world is yours according to the corner mode of thought,
Reported in the vocal chord recordings always hoping for,
Cash in hand, a turn to handle it will open doors
To candlelit dinners wit sinners sampling their chosen course,
In the of restaurants, expensive ones you know the sort
Wanting the twenty seven yachts, not knowing it's going overboard.
Dream of benefits, while you are getting no support
Broke like the law, when what you own is stole not only bought,
Life is a bitch, so the suicidal chose divorce
Getting to know the force like Kenobi by the close of court,
You'll be solo in a cell, feeling foolish cos you knew the risk,
And now the state control you, like a nucleus
It's ludicrous, but I relate like a second cousin
Distantly, my history is full of getting nothing,
Outside a label lobby, I'm forever buzzing
It's one in seven dozen,
They'd be ever letting Muz in, fuck that
See I could do it independently,
Not for a spending spree or models all befriending me
See my family depend on me
Teaching each and every MC, diplomas in the art of rap
Hip Hop is immortal, we aint here to make a martyr track
When I'm gone, I leave you music as an artifact,
Try to arrest me like a cardiac, you'll catch a heart attack
Rapped for five years, - brilliant for half of that,
With whereabouts unknown, like where the fuck my fathers at,
Suave like Sinatra, smart like Sartres,
Words have beauty like the fruit in forests of Sumatra
But sharper than Katana's so you best go fetch your armor
When there's drama, I'm calm my palms drier than sahara,
Grains, brains ablaze like flames of intifadas in Gaza,
My lyrics harder, sitting spitting out the stardust
No money in my card plus, how you could you be heartless?
I wanted to make a living, now I'd die to be an artist
Getting royalties, paying lawyer fees, so my mum can afford
To get the court decrees and money we're owed
Its a troubling road, that brought me to the present
And my suffering showed, represented with the pens ink,
Make the hardest rapper soften up and then begin to look as weak as N-Sync.
That's what I'm doing on the regular,
I'm out of this world welcome to my nebula,
We all got stars to reach, these are lines are for life
While my heart can beat.

Well if your living in the world today
You need a stronger stomach
As well as hell of a lot of vertebrae
See the western world are furthering the murder rate
Swooping down and snatching young as if they were a bird of prey
Thats how they earn their pay
Thats why I turn away from my religion
I aint hearing what the churches say,
Its not insurgents on the surgeons tray
I'm surfing on the curvature of Earth
And seeing brains the state of Kurt Kobains
Fanning the burning flames, actually heard the planes
Erasing places where they haven't even learnt the name
Or nationality, rational aint reality
I'm here to pull you down towards the earth like I was gravity,
Demons they grab at me, scheming, attacking me
Their begging and their pleading i'll fit into neat into their category
Of raps that don't report, my tracks they don't support
Conformity, 'cos normally thats why we go to war
I rock your boat of thought, before I throw you overboard
To oceans of emotions flowing, no I'm showing no remorse
Life is a bitch and so the suicidal chose divorce
But me i'll stay the course, so play the chorus
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said
The capital was full of protests,
Yesterday the restless were requesting shows of progress
Instead of tax rise, instead of student cuts
So now the country is erupting like vesuvius
And overseas we over seize petroleum
And sodium for salt to salt your snack watching a movie at the odeon
Showing opium that takes the form of violence
Addicted to it, guess thats why you hear the call of sirens
And never silence, I sever eyelids
So your forced to watch and witness just what I've arrived with,
The picture that I'm painting and I'm printing aint surprising
Climate getting higher, water level rising
Radiation running through the rivers of Japan,
Delivered to the liver by the drink thats in the hand,
Children see their future as it sinks into the sand
Workers lose lives, at the broken power plant
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said
They divide the rich and poor,
It's splitting apart the nation like the Libyan civil war,
We're living in insecure situations all over the place
Nobody breaks whose keeping the faith,
And people need to seek and embrace
The counterpart of hate, I found my heart can make
The type of art that those who love the charts
Just can't relate. I'm giving my all to author books you never read
Verses you never heard and all the words I never said.
It’s so loud Inside my head
With words that I should have said!
As I drown in my regrets
I can’t take back the words I never said
I can’t take back the words I never said

Hungry
03:11

Why do I feel like I know,
Exactly what I need but I don't want it even though,
My dreams are falling deeper, I aint sleeping at the mo-ment
I'm in agreement with the reaper that my soul
Won't be sold, so I'm keeping on the low
Down like I don't see me being pro-fessional
Yes I will tell how you it is, powerless in my cowardice
Afraid I'd sacrifice happy marriages for an hours bliss.
But I don't wanna be my father
And I don't wanna lead a harder
Life looking for loving then fucking receiving nada,
Enough is enough and enough isn't even my starter
I start to wonder whats happened to my hunger?
Hearing clapping like its thunder, rapping like I'm under
The eye of the storm, the night I was born
Left my parents excited for dawn,
So many hopes, in the hands of an infant,
So many roads but my feet leave an imprint
Upon the wrong one, leaving my feelings in a condom
Feeling that I've gone wrong, long gone
Continue on a slippery slope, tipping liquor to throat
To liver with the wickedest quotes,
I'm cold so the lyrics I wrote need the thickest of coats
To listen I'm vociferously riffing the notes
As if I was broke and brittle as hope my spirit is choked.
I'm picking a rose from thickets of prose, I call it poetry
A different approach, you know its me until I give up the ghost,
Living in my shoes, is like still trying to fit into your size two's
Hardly comfortable but non refundable, I'm spitting haiku's
Sitting in my room clicking i-tunes trying to find new rhymes to vibe to
Rap music is a drive through, super-sized crews arrive to get a quick fix,
Greedy for the sweet ingredients of...
Thighs, breasts, coke, dough, cheddar and beef; the kids are addicted.
But I'm offering your nourishment, we're too clever to be force fed
I'm proffering encouragement, coughing up the current trend,
I'm sick of it, stir my coffee with a finger sitting watching all the colours blend
Thinking about, how to make a change
Take your money like M.I.A, never keep my paper plain
I write upon it like a vital thought upon the vacant brain,
Derail the gravy train of fakers on their way to crazy fame
Daily pain raining on my character,
The calibre of my ex was excalibur
Beautifully refined, but she cut me in two like a queue
When you've viewed someone you knew up in the line
What am I doing with my time?
Fast life, ruining my mind, cold chills moving up my spine
If by your enemies you could be defined, then I'm seemingly vexed
Fighting drink and all the meaningless sex
Demons seem to breathe on your necks
One threat seems to lead to the next, so my friends smoke weed
In the cold breeze, hoping they'll be free from the stress
But me I smoke beats when I'm weak and depressed.
That's how it is now, thats how it always be
I never change this is always me, in the hallway
Knocking till the doorways free,
My grammar's like the camera to scorsese, the director.
Tearing the mic apart, lion-heart silenced the lambs like Lector
When I'm writing bars, the resurrector of a dying art
Trying hard just to be known, adjusting my phone I dont -
Contact many contacts nowadays,
Spitting bitter like my thoughts are coming with a sour taste
Rappers are power crazed so I leave them paraphrased,
Cut short, cos I aint hearing what a coward says.

F**k You Mr Suit And Tie
03:28

Old white men are running this rap shit,
Advertising companies, running this rap shit
Blood Money fucking running this rap shit
Tragic, careers disappear like magic
We been taken over like the old new world
Harder rappers now are marketed for school girls,
See the grime scene shine with a cleaner sheen
Bottom line, money is a mean machine
Murdering the musicality,
A few of us believing that we're serving you reality
But only dreaming,
I couldn't tell what I commonly earn
Don't wanna be working for the likes of Montgomery Burns,
Strive for autonomy, autotune or alter me vocally,
I aint ever saying okily dokily , whether locally
Globally, anywhere on the earth...
MC's - really unaware of their worth,
I seize the chance to take the mic, breaking down how it is
Bravely standing up like Sitting Bull, no cowardice...
Powerless, as power cuts while I'm blowing a fuse,
You'd be mad too, if you had a toe in my shoes...
Old white men are running this rap shit,
Advertising companies, running this rap shit
Blood Money fucking running this rap shit
Tragic, careers disappear like magic
Middle Class Kids running this rap shit
Television still running this rap shit
Rich lawyers are running this rap shit,
When they say your finished, your finished and thats it
Let me tell you about Lupe Fiasco
Chained to his record label, wouldn't let his ass go...
Said he had to make a track that would top charts,
One that nobody would beat like a stopped heart,
Not permitted to be rhyming like he wanted to...
Supervising every line in every single song he'd do
How suffocating,
Like the cover to your face when your sleeping,
Deep in the most dangerous, and intricate web...
Thinking your fly, they be spinning you a lie like a thread,
While, he openly opposed the microphone police,
Who replied, fine you aint getting no release...
Fucked up the way that it works...
We aint driven to be given no mercedes or merks,
Fame is a curse, Lasers emerged, fans slated it
Mr Fiasco said he fucking hated it...
Old white men are running this rap shit,
Advertising companies, running this rap shit
Blood Money fucking running this rap shit
Tragic, careers disappear like magic
Middle Class Kids running this rap shit
Television still running this rap shit
Rich lawyers are running this rap shit,
When they say your finished, your finished and thats it
Now where do I fit into the scheme?
I'd be lying If I rhymed that I'm living the dream
More bars than a prisoners seen
Lyrically I'm visual as cinema screens,
And I aint playing a part,
If money was the light, then i'll stay in the dark.
So Fuck you, Mr Suit and Tie...
I'd be double crossed, twice crucified.

The Rap Game
02:28
|
|||
Let me take you to the rap game,
Where it's shadier than Slims last name,
Clinch that fame, get the pink champagne
Pour it on the women till you get that brain.
No it aint about that, looking for the cheddar,
Well that's bound to get a mouse trapped,
Oh you know I aint the uno,
Billionaire? Don't wanna be it I aint Bruno
Like cluedo, it's a game full of mystery
Every rapper wants to rock a chain like Mr T.
And I could burst into flames,
Still my competition wouldn't even care to piss on me,
Survival of the fittest,
Some use a microphone, a bible and a snickers
Preaching with their bars,
I aint a fan but I'm reaching for the stars
Or to venus or to mars, and by that I mean the charts
You see to me the three of them are equally as far
Listen to you, speaking like your hard...
(sample)
I'm like who the fuck are you?
Piling on the pressure
Like your trying to make me buckaroo
Mate your mother shoulda smothered you,
I'm better than your uncles, and your cousins...
And your brothers crew,
Take away the facade, and now your saying nothing
Like we're playing charades...
Seven words, eleven syllables
'If your writing you better be original'
I'm the kid getting lyrical for loot
Don't play me if your slow, like trivial pursuit
I make killings with a rhythm and a loop
So shine my shoes, or I'm giving you the boot
Oh, and I'll be the tophat,
Like monopoly, my property your stopped at
And by that I mean the studio
Listeners I'm leaving animated like its yugioh
Nobody move, until I'm giving you the cue to go,
For me to find out and for you to know
Is how to lose your flow, then I hear the loser go...
Read the paper, see the world gets raw
Love your neighbor, fuck the girl next door
Which one of them are you?
If she's from movie then I'm probably the two,
Sorry that's just a little joke,
Blame it on the fact that my liver's looking liquor soaked
At least I aint sniffing coke,
Don't drop me, like soap in the prison folks
You need to clear the way,
Tell my mum, her son is coming up,
It's really nearly day,
I flow well saying what a lot of peers will fear to say,
Treat the rap game like a hotel I'm here to stay
Yeah, I'm happy with a double bed
More space for my arrogant and troubled head
And that's where the lyrics are
So I'm gonna need a pot of ink in the mini bar..

I Need A Dollar
04:25
|
|||
I need a dollar,
Eyes on the pound signs,
Life's on the up,
A need a little bit of the downtime,
Umming and aaahing, thinking about now where to find a job
Nodding off on every night, wanting to find a kinder God...
But, its kinda hard to be making the ends meet,
I can't afford a round of drinks whenever my friends meet...
I'm reaching for my wallet in my jeans,
Digging my fingers into my pocket - all I feel is the seams.
See, I'm embarrassed that I borrow my suit
And I'm not the type of candidate your boss will recruit,
Mum says I'm a waster, it's probably true...
I used to always have to cheat in monopoly too...
Sorry to you, if you are tired of me having a moan
Ringing the bank for a loan but they hang up the phone,
Plus the landlords upping the rent,
When it rains it pours and no it doesn't relent...
(chorus)
I was sitting at the table with a ready meal
Mum telling me I'd never ever get a deal,
And to sell my mic, I was riding on a dream
Now I fell from flight,
You see she used to believe,
And now I'm letting her down,
In deep water, your hearing as we steadily drown
If i never make it out of here, remember my sound.
How many rappers are applying for Waitrose,
I'm one of them, at night I'm laying awake loads
Praying for rainbows, waiting for the pot of gold
The life is live is like the opposite of rock and roll...
Still I'm a cocky soul, ever since I got involved...
Writing a poem aint sewing up my pocket holes
But I'll be trying till the worlds end...
I'd rather treat, than be relying on my girlfriend...
(chorus)
I'm the one to bank on, so if you invest
Penny for thoughts, I will guarantee you interest
See i've been pressed, now I impress.
No second of rest so yes I feel a bit stressed...
With no time to laugh at all,
Checks bounce so I fling them like a basketball,
If my Dad calls, tell him I do not want his love,
Or anything, he never delivered on what he promised us
Probably 'cos, money was the hottest drug,
He wanted it for himself, got the wealth
But now you gotta live with yourself...
I sell an album at the minute,
Never doubting that my spirit and ability
Is breaking you up and waking you up
Plus taking you up, I lay in the cut
Staying above the clouds in my lyrics,
Feet upon the ground,
WIth a crown when I'm finished...
But still poor,
With the skill you would kill for
Though my name will never decorate a billboard,
I've had a lot of victories,
Learning from defeats,
Staying up in early hours, working on the beats,
It's a hard road - trying to get to the fame
I stay hidden like the words that i've kept in my brain,
I'm waiting for acclaim that I'm yet to attain
Smiled in the sunshine, wept in the rain..
Weathering the good and bad,
See my mum and dad
Used to fight so I was spending many summers sad
By the winter he was gone,
Along with the money, so I sing a little song
For a coin or two, in my point of view
I'm rapping to be joining you...
Whatever you are going through,
Flowing through the sadness
See the cash aint everything ...
I'm glad right now....
I still be happy if I had less...

Still Juicy

Juicy
It was all a dream,
I used to read NME magazine,
But I never fitted in like skinny jeans
Try picturing it all,
Thinking I was cool, after school still sitting on the wall
In the same top, trying to get a girl to name drop
Mine, as a popular guy, exactly what I'm not...
Way back, when I had a red and black hoodie that
Coordinated with the cap to match.
Remember rapping through the hardest parts,
Never thought that a loser would make it this far...
In the limelight like a prime-time fight
Rhymes never paid, thats why I first prayed
Born bitter, the opposite of sinner
I remember when beginning never getting any women
Me, I was trying to sell a CD,
Eventually, give them away for free...huh
I'm growing up like I thought I would,
To get on radio, doing all I could
So in the words of Notorious its always good.
For everything that I believe, I have always stood
Sample
I made the change from on the street
To studio time with a song complete
While my heart can beat, I'll be doing this all day...
Hits on the internet a hundred K
Enough to make you dizzy, still you say who is he?
Here's my rap catalogue, bound to keep you busy
Never thought it could happen this rapping stuff,
Kids said I wasn't black enough or acting tough
Now I'm getting close, mates raising a toast
Mum's happy too, sending me praise in the post
Maybe seeing my dreams, in a matter of weeks
Of sold out seats to hear Just Muz speak
I'm well aware that I'm not yet there,
And I might never be, we know life aint fair...
Plus my history is wicked and cruel
Considered a fool, if you don't stick to the rules
Stereotypes of a young kid misunderstood
And its still all good...
Sample
Near to tears, as I reminisce,
Came a long way, from rhyming at my friends premises
Saying no when there rolling up roaches,
But when I'm on the beat you know I'm going to smoke this...
Got too far to find the way back,
Sign a contract, got a lawyer for that...
In addition, listeners by the thousand
Wish it could get us to own our own housing...
Thinking back to my very first track
Showed soul to the world with every verse rapped,
I work hard of course, smiling to myself
Quietly to applause, we used to fuss
Throwing plates like discus, and discuss
Why our dad's love had missed us,
Birthday's in the first phase,
Never got home from the workplace
But I love the life I live,
Cos I went from negative to positive...

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, can'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.
Someone had better get a doctor
Gotta monitor him, so sick like cholera's demolishing him
Honest I bring, nothing but the fire
The burnt out Michelin Man, my bodies tired
I'm invisible damn, I need to get inside your retinas
Brain - Alien, verses - predators
I'm out of this world when destroying my competitors
The women love the winners, when their horny - devilish
But when your losing, getting hated for the hell of it,
That's when your getting none (nun) - all of em are celibate,
For God's sake, don't cross me
Cereal killer of beats, great like Frosties
Yeah I've earned my stripes,
Like a diamond in the night, rhymes burning bright,
I don't wanna be a star though,
Flows sharper than Serrato blades heading straight to your heart bro,
I build a rep like meccano, it's child's play
I got Skully checking up on what my file says...
So it's true I can't be human,
Dropping bombs on your city, like a rhyming Harry Truman
But don't keep your radio active,
It's killing your brain cells, and playing the wack shit...
Yeah it sucks like fellatio, you rappers have blew it
Cos you aint spitting out a crazy flow,
So folks ... swallow your words,
Money, power, poetry - I follow the third,
I have a dream, and nearly everybody has heard
That today's Great Britain, so tomorrows the world...
Is he flier than Richard Branson?
With a business on his hands, and is he rich and handsome?
Are his lines for the kids like Ester Ranson?
No, so now I'm in a pickle - branston.
Cos' I aint getting recognition,
Like blurred out faces on broken televisions...
No one ever listens to the visionaries in history
I'm way ahead of my time so my parents haven't kissed a cheek,
Let alone had me,
I've truly got the better bars, let it go Cadbury's
Advanced like i-Phones and blackberries
A Levels were triple A, so I'm energized like batteries,
Give me credit, no wait, give me a contract...
I've got the messages, I'm waiting for the contacts
Yep, i'm still wearing glasses
Can't afford the bus fare, still sharing passes...
Use to swear in classes, fucking around the back
Look at me now, never have guessed
That I would come to counteract,
Kids who aint taking life seriously,
Scared of nothing, but what you should be fearing is me,
The most peerless MC,
Rivals disappear like Lord Lucan so mysteriously...
Hear me I'm free, like Andy Dufresne
I'm clever far too able (Abel) to be handling Cain
I've recently been learning understanding of pain,
Why run from a storm, you could dance in the rain...
I don't need no umbrella,
Even when my life is a bitch like cruella
De Ville, I build my skill, instill my will
To thrill a still kid to feel the real
Rhythm that I kill at will, i'm chilled...
No I'm colder than that,
This is everything I am, just encoded in rap
Every goal I attack, with the skill of Maradonnas,
The world in my palm, so the time is now upon us...
Like cowards honor my oppo-sition don't exist
In troubled water I'm relying on my friendships,
So none of us are going under,
Breath life till my lungs blow asunder,
Showing hunger, like ribs and even spinal chords
About to kill the track - final thoughts.

Guess the rapper back by popular demand,
Got the world watching my words like an ocular exam,
Phantom of the opera with a little shop of horrors
Sipping vodka, have a plot be Sinatra if I'm Frank
Damn, block your cash flow, right before I pass go
Labels own monopolies like hasbro, I rap so
My tracks show them heat to melt the asphalt
See the ash blow - I'm smoking rappers with a single joint,
Midas rhymes, lines shine when the king anoints
With his voice, over ruling all your simple points
Leave you singing, my lyrics are fricking kicking groins
Quit the flicking coins, you'll never your change your luck
MC's are easy to read - I don't pay for books
Plus my paper cuts deeper than Vader's saber,
I'm dangerous and waking up your brain like Angel Dust
Fame is a slut and she can't wait to fuck
Until your breaking up with everything you ever say you love
The day you got signed is when the label stuck
To the grave your a slave - chained to hooks
Chorus
So you need to own your masters,
My pen is independent - no I don't owe you bastards.
Who act like the price I'm worth is low as asda's
My flow is acid, so cold you know it froze your assets
This poet passes the rappers poking asses
Out to A&R's, spraying bars that are cleaner than soap
When they were dirty like teeth in a beaker of coke,
You just need to be you, and I'm a genius too
Leave you in wonder of my music like stevie would do,
Secretly knew I'd grow to grab the mic,
Go to the afterlife, and you would see the ghost of all the tracks I write
Chop the beats and pack the parts into my samsonite
The name carries weight - I don't travel light.
Rhymes are dynamite that's why I never rap on flights
Got my bragging rights, as there's no one left
Careers gone with the wind when I blow one breath,
You don't know me yet, I guess you overslept
I wake you up and shake you up until l know you won't forget....
Show respect use the globe for doing shoulder reps
Drop the world while your necks won't even hold your heads
Rhymes have vertebrae, think your fly like a bird of prey,
Your head is in the clouds now I turned them grey
The reigning champ, straight out the training camp
Brain entranced, staying ablaze like a flaming lamp
Showing the way while I'm flowing you knowing
From local to global I'm growing today, blowing away
My opposition, locked to rhythm like the cons in prison
On a mission like Katy to kick the common wisdom
You rappers want tuition?
My train of thought will destroy you just after one collision
Think I'm comic got the wrong edition,
Out of your sight you need a stronger vision
Call it long division, leave you with a fraction
Of your confidence a consequence when my tracks spun,
When the raps done, your needing medication
Like the late great Jackson, it's thriller time
Rest in peace to the beats, these are killer rhymes.
If your hearing mine, you aint a second late,
With a short fuse, who's about to detonate?
The moment that my record breaks set to make a devil pray

Thieves In The Night
04:52
|

Give me the fortune keep the fame,
said my man Talib I agreed,
know what he means cos we live the maddest lies
Strive after lives that the cameras will analyze
Glamorize cries from the rapper when the latter dies
A paralyzed predicament, I'm kicking it with dissidents
Addicted to the rhythm flipping tripping up Caligula's
I Figured the carniverous mentalities ubiquitous
So we struggle Uphill Like Sisyphus
Leviticus to Exodus And Joshua to Genesis
I'm Visiting for reference and stocking up malevolence
Existing in the decadence while shopping for the evidence
What are my origins I'm heavenly and devilish
Now are you fresher than a peppermint?
With elegance decrepit like the city of Persepolis
I shan't tell, buried treasure in the very messages I can't sell
In the art that's where my heart dwells.
Now your calling this a civilized world, (world)
Many dying full of hunger, many living like earls (earls)
Dropping bombs on the kiddies where the gritty night whirls
Would we do the same thing if they were little white girls?
Tell me, because it's difficult to understand
Man I aint Alice in and I never been to wonderland
Don't forget that everything is underhand
As if the media were feeding ya
to supplement the gun demand
Chorus
Not strong
But still oppressive
not free
we sit in silence
Never passionate, only polite
Now whose the righteous?
Not us, so we behave
Run away from death yet with one foot in the grave
Now Still praying for better days
Hiding like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of Oasis making you look twice (x2)
Now i'm sure everybody listening agree
That you cannot believe every little thing you see
Whether news or television, ever usual hedonism
Not producers, never looping but they're using repetition
I illuminate the vision of truth, in a position of division
the youth are being put into a prison the proof
is in the pudding but young girls throw it up
She wanted to be a model, stomach hollow growing up
Around the sorrow in her area, it's spreading like malaria
I'm wary of hysteria it's getting even scarier to ride the train
but that's inside your brain, the Government will want you scared
to justify the pain that we have to dealt to the Middle East.
Felt not a little peace, the wealth of my riddle meets minds
Who need rhymes to function, It's guessing games and assumption
You better not protest they'll hit you up with an injunction - It's cold
Souls are sold for fools gold I strolled the whole globe
Just to liberate the bold and brave,
So ashamed by our history of holding slaves
Now the young bust guns and the old behave
Broke homes, post codes where the roads are paved
With bubblegum and blood, but it's troublesome to love
In the rubble of a frozen age, they're cutting down
the forests just to see the solar rays. It's like that ya'all
(Like that ya'll)
Too many mothers at a cemetery clad up in a black shawl
Wrapped all my gifts like christmas eve,
But without the shiny packaging you disbelieve
It's perceived as unusual, the music is unsuitable
but beautiful, reputable and highly indisputable
I'm using it to tutor you, get through to you
and teach, the endless opportunity of freedom of speech
Breach monotony with deep philosophy that I keep
In my pocket so I drop it when your seeking unique
Individuals to listen to, the physical and visual
is killing all the spiritual, and still it is habitual
The pitiful residuals of time, like aboriginals we're left behind
and in decline cos the ritual to climb to the top
Turns minds into rot, eyes rise to the skies your surprised by the plot
Shining brighter than filaments, cyphers live with the brilliance
From the tribal Abyssinians, to fighting Palestinians
The citizens of Earth defiant in their billions
We start wars, till we're dying by the millions
Not strong
But still oppressive
not free
we sit in silence
Never passionate, only polite
Now whose the righteous?
Not us, so we behave
Run away from death with one foot in the grave
Still praying for better days
Hiding like thieves in the night from life
Illusions of Oasis making you look twice (x2)

Time Difference

You can never work till you face the facts
Nerves on a red alert like Basement Jaxx
You want the word upon the street
Well you heard it on the beat, pull your ear from the pavement cracks
I was lacing tracks though my trainers we're velcro
Adjacent chaps I need space for my elbows
Move over, my sofa has no room for you crew
And your crews new blue Nova.
Rappers telling me that they don't do sober,
Rappers selling weed saying "dough" like homer
Well here's something we can chat about...
I'm upset that there's nearly really nothing you can rap about,
Tapping out texts on my Sony Ericson...
The microphone alone is my only medicine
Foley messaging the youth, when I'm stepping in the booth
Never menacing like Dennis, heavy weapon is the truth
(Chorus)
Time Difference, the difference in time
We're trying to live in these difficult times
In particular we give it for the lyrical minds
I'm delivering to rhythm flipping miracle rhymes
I make music reflecting the times,
Cold like Frost I'm detecting your crimes
So better keep it on the down low...
People you were sleeping now your deeper on my downloads,
Round here its all about the image,
Thats why we hit the gym, like Pop eye pouring out the spinach
Girls flicking quicker through the magazines
Wanting to be slimmer doesn't count as having dreams,
Laughing teens happy lapping up my rapping schemes
Trying to take you higher like Jack and his magic beans
I'm accurate with chatting, so immaculately trapping scenes
Tricky to be witty cos your picky like a tangerine,
Heads shaking like a tamborine telling me to "talk this way"
"Walk this way" .. you don't think that I came all this way?
Composing, to let the others orchestrate?
(please)
Time Difference, the difference in time
We're trying to live in these difficult times
In particular we give it for the lyrical minds
I'm delivering to rhythm flipping miracle rhymes
I like girls that I can have a laugh with,
Ever since Will Smith used to anger Aunt Viv
Fresh Prince put the slang up in my language
I remember mother as she's wrapping up a sandwich
On the same day the school bus crashed quick
And we rolled over till we landed in the damn ditch
Fond memories of the UK,
Song melodies for a new day forming
Yeah we been through the storm
My teacher used to grill me like she was a George Foreman...
Next door's Norman had sky TV
We could only watch the football on ITV
It was never on my TV
So we watched his from our window for free,
You see this is everything that I remember
I was born on the 12th of December
And ever since then I have learned to love
Rest In peace to all of those who returned above.
Its Muz.

The Kings Speech
02:33
|

I teach you how to speak with a microphone
You be King George, and of course i'll be Lionel Logue
Fuck assigning roles, I'm one of the coldest rhyming pros
Freeze MC's who say cheese while they strike a pose
I excite the globe grip it like a titan with a tightened hold
My recital title would be timeless flows, I've arose
Shining like a diamond glows, those that mind me
Think i've might have signed my soul
To the Devil and I traded it for lines that blow...
Live my life like there's nine to go,
High enough that the pilots in spy planes fly below
And I still got time to grow, so you need to realise
That I'm outer your space
With a, michelin star if accounting for taste.
Opposition at the start, like how do I race?
While I'm chilling up at the finish line, proud of my pace
Stay ahead of the hounds in the chase
I'm looking at my wake, like now for the wait...
Im surrounded by a mountain of hate,
I scale it, till non believers are pronouncing their faith
No profit in my pocket, for the counsellors rates
My brain is overpopulated like the housing estates,
Thats the place, my knowledge
Copulated with a thousand mistakes,
Gave birth to my brain child, now it's awake
And I name it the verse, ink slaking its thirst
Creative like it's Damien Hirst,
Came to be cursed by it's own art, I pierced a parker
In it's cold heart, that's right I'm killing it
While I deliver it, leave you in the dark I'm the trigger switch
Once I was dipped in the river styx
Achilles heel - writing till my fingers twitch
Run tracks, sew my lips - I don't fear a stitch
Life appears an interfering bitch,
Guess my voice too low she don't hear my pitch,
I'm never selling you short,
Speak truth in the booth like I'm telling the courts
Sending retorts with my pen, while I'm yelling my thoughts
Cross borders like a war reporter with a canon camcorder
All in order to record a slaughter of vocabulary
Now they got my on trial for the raps I buried,
Yeah I did it, Muz murdered the tracks
You know that - I find it so absurd that you ask,
Working to further my craft, just the surface you've scratched
We're about to head into the matrix...
Full of pro's getting conned by the Agents,
They become cons - write prose from their cages.
I'm Stephen king of the pages, prince of the rap world
Cursed by piracy like the black pearl
Well if my album leaks,
It's flowing and flooding the streets for a thousand weeks
I keep going till the jobs complete
The careers of my peers nearly obsolete,
I'm beyond your reach, your milky way and galaxy
Bite my bars and be prepared to catch a cavity
Goodbye to gravity I'm rhyming ever further away
Goodbye to the world now you heard what I say...
Leaving no one in doubt,
Mission accomplished over and out.

Invention
05:18

Allow me to introduce, the chin stroking thinker
Inky fingers I begin to muse, in the queue
Waiting for another bloody interview,
I'm trying to make some money but it's funny that my simple view
To rhythms or a riff or two is getting me attention,
Bet I'm getting better yep with every invention
Forgetting if I mentioned my moniker,
Thats Muz if you do know me, flow be blowing up your monitor
I'm honored to be clocking up kilometers and travelling
Along the track, while my life is unravelling
I'm gathering my thoughts like pennies on the pavement
Rapping in the courts while I'm a penning up a statement
Of innocence to heightening the crime with the writing of a rhyme
My deliverance is brightening the mind like moonlight,
Do my shoes shine, no but I'm polishing the words that you soon might know
So familiar as if it is the back of your hand,
Show my listeners the lyricism back in demand,
laughing and cracking a can, happy but lacking a plan
You couldn't find me on the map so call me Azerbaijan
Man I'm kidding, auctioning my story so is anybody bidding?
Found a category they could the put the kid in so far?
No car so am I really going places, ideas kiss the simile
My flow embraces with metaphors,
Trying to put my records in the better stores
But I do it for the love and not ever to get applause
Settle scores never - ready for whatever
Born four years after 'tougher than leather' its Just Muz.
(Refrain + Samples)
Hit you in the brain with another verse
Stimulate the ears like the whisper of a lovers words
In other words you'll like this, I'm holding up a tight fist
Fighting for my right, and yeah my right is just to write this,
A crisis I'm living in, never giving in when delivering
Remembering the little things in thick and thin,
Like stay true never compromise your art form
Music is my blood pumping it to keep my heart warm.
Won't chart storm like Elliot Gleave
But getting nearer to the fame than I could ever believe
Don't give a fuck about the riches I could never receive
I'd rather be an individual keep letting me breathe,
Better to be happy poorer than a bitter billionaire,
Most of them are villains I can feel it in their glare,
With cars in garages and trophy wives,
Simply camouflaging their lonely lives, no surprise
That my opened eyes have witnessed,
It's not about the music, it's all about the business.
I'm ready to go, I'm ready to fly, I'm ready to break away
Whatever the weather forever together with every tape I play,
With every phrase I say erasing hatred from my daily database
I take my brain away from aching pain into a safer place,
I'm taking the time to wake up the mind, making the rhyme
To place in a line, breaking the fakers and taking away the haters
From my daily grind, playing rewind and learning from the masters
Disasters are stacking up, I'm packing up my plasters
And rapping up your wish list, thinking about what I was thinking about
Back when I did this, a little kid with a brittle liver and a quick fist
Beating myself around the head and falling up out of bed on the wrong side,
From that point up in my life it's been a long ride, loving the journey
I wanted to be a rapper not another attorney now nothing will turn me
From my path, looking at opposition in the face and and then I happily laugh,
I'll happily rap with rapid attack, I'm packing the track with quotables
Everything I've ever done I've got to make it notable,
I'm living in a broken home, hitting you with my vocal tone
Comforting my family my daddy was a rolling stone,
Microphones I'm wrecking them, One two checking them
I'm heading out your pigeonhole and way beyond your reckoning.
Beckoning the cash flow, smoke a rapper like a cigarette
And see the ash blow, that so? No matter of fact I aint down with that,
I rap for kids in apartments and council flats,
Hip Hop never died it was buried alive, we survived and yet the airways
Have been very deprived but not of oxygen
Watching all your copied cocky posturing "I'll sock you knock you out
Like I was Rocky in the boxing ring" as Dr King we dream,
You lock me in like Leo call me Neo I could separate the fake from all the real
For the deal I feel a need a court appeal to sign my life away
Staying up at night no one's giving me the time of day
The Pied Piper chase Simon Says I've to replicate
Yet I only care about the records that I'm set to break.

Goodbye (Outro)
01:02
|

It's time for a departure, the sharpest arrow in my heart
And your the archer, I fly away to brighter days
And leave behind you father, by the fireplace
I used to see your sighing face softening
I'm lost for oxygen and crying now because of him
He tried to take his own life, how could he hate his own wife,
How could he fight his own son, remember that my whole life
I loved you, I must have been eleven when I hugged you
The last time, exam results are out and now I've passed mine
I'm going, I know I speak about you in my poem all the time,
I pray your hear me calling pouring out a rhyme and falling
Out of sight and out of mind I count to nine and wake up
See I've been dreaming we would make up but dreaming
Dreaming isn't real I'll only when heal I am leaving,
So this evening I came to say Goodbye
I'll see you when you the wounds no longer bleeding
At least maybe I could try.
