lyrics

I grab the mic with a bust up lip
This ain’t the first time I been touched up kid
Thought just coz I’m the punch line king
that I’d lay down well count the fucks I give
I mean, I was doing battles in the kitchen
With a CD skipping on a discman
Rap zealot hip hop the religion
Just jealous coz you ain’t got the diction
He moves close like a warm embrace
and that cool but this just aint the time and place
Its not that I don’t like your face
but your spitting in my mouth and its quite the taste
Stand up tall like yes yes y'all
I wont fight back but I can’t take a fall
Gimme the mic and let me say my piece
I just wanna let the beast off the leash, kapish
I can take a hit from a bully
You messing with a vet not a rookie
You look stressed mate chill have a boogie
We here for the culture the hats and the hoodies
I ain’t got no beef with you
The only beef that I need’s in my pad see ew
Already trying to keep my own demons at bay
so excuse me ignoring every word you say
-
Dead that dragon, Mute that vox
I don’t accept that caption, I won’t fit in that box
Tell me something I don’t know so pro I got my own dojo
Used to break bread with the murmurs of hate now I shut them beaks dodo
-
Hear em on the intercom
calling me an idiot telling me I did it wrong
The voice in my head is an asshole
camped out trying to start a singalong
Shows up on my way to work
Already spilled my drink stained my shirt
Just missed the bus so I must be cursed
Then the voice chimes in just to make it worse like
Everybody knows that you’re hopeless
No show don’t think nobody notice
Late every morning and dress like you homeless
You think that you’re dope but you don’t got the focus
Just got the prognosis
overdosed on a big bowl of bogus
Might be the start of psychosis
Seen as a joke don’t wait for your bonus
Sit down on the bus let it marinate
Do I let the voice die or elaborate
On a good day I can navigate
Past all the hate let the darkness evaporate
-
Dead that dragon, Mute that vox
I don’t accept that caption, I won’t fit in that box
Tell me something I don’t know so pro I got my own dojo
Used to break bread with the murmurs of hate now I shut them beaks dodo
-
I beat up myself
I don’t need no help
As if you can’t tell
-
I ain’t trying to preach about it buddy I be honest
I ain’t got it figured out but I can tell you that I want it
Guess I’m used to getting shat on like a baby in abonnet
From the voices in my head I wish I had a way to stop it
Since I was a grommet 
I be reaching for the chronic but that shit’ll do the opposite
So all I really got is putting lyrics on on the page
It’s better than me trying to bottle it
So call this a work in progress
I wrote the verse to subvert the context
Recite the words we can turn the complex
Into old J rap verse the monster
That’s the only clash that counts
So if you really wanna catch me out
No need to angry and smack me round
Give me love and a dollar in my bank account
-
Dead that dragon, Mute that vox
I don’t accept that caption, I won’t fit in that box
Tell me something I don’t know so pro I got my own dojo
Used to break bread with the murmurs of hate now I shut them beaks dodo
-
I beat up myself
I don’t need no help
As if you can’t tell
Used to break bread with the murmurs of hate now I shut them beaks - dodo
