They say the grind was easy

It was deffo hard….

They found It really cheesy

Now they’re torn apart….

It’s cool you wasn’t there

Be aware of the scare

Don’t you stare by the stairs

Sit back down I’m switching chairs

The day I was down and out

Took a different route

I had the band screaming….

This ain’t no Girls Aloud

What I spoke about

Getting knocked down In a bout

It had me always dreaming….

Pen and pad were screaming loud

Never gave up on my rhyming

Waited for the perfect timing

Saw the land end up sliding

Years went by I stayed up grinding

I did the riding, time was biding

Lead the world like Joe Biden

Citizen of law abiding

Criticism always hiding

Yeah but I kept on pushing

Had to do alot of shushing

You know how that went?….

Fell In love with my cushion

Mistook me for a russian

Cos I was always rushing

Am I heaven sent?….

In my dreams yeah I’m wishing

Hardwork will always stay

Till the day that I can say

Life was there for me to play

Chose my pen so I can slay

Every day I wrote away

Used every word along the way

Found a way, yeah I pray

Self belief was found that day

The journey was hard work

Some days I went berserk

It only kept me going….

As I Ironed my shirt

I threw away all the dirt

Ended up getting hurt

Best thing I got to knowing….

Quitting won’t make It work

Through all them tough times

Kept my focus writing rhymes

Was doing fine with my nine

Perfect the line, add In thyme

When It was time to eat

Grabbed my meat was so sweet

How I’m neat, call me pleat

Drips so fly so take a seat

Problems falling like rainfalls

Against the walls was crucial

Tricked the call and flicked the ball

Felt so frickin’ Invincible

Was so busy grafting small

Feel like Dizzee Stand Up Tall

Not complaining but maintaining

Entertainment ain’t for y’all

Being different ain’t that bad

Be Indifferent good nor bad

Call It sad, just a tad

Fell In love with pen and pad

Build your mindset all the way

Forget what they said move away

Insomnia really hit hard….

Sleeping giant Is what they say

Life Is hard It’s down to us

Staying barred It’s dangerous

Only thing we cannot do….

Be a Jose and park the bus

Believe me trust what’s all the fuss

The pan was deep I lost my crust

Find a way stay solid too….

Giving up let’s not discuss

I wear my heart up my sleeve

From the start I did not leave

Felt so super cos I’m a man….

RIP to Christopher Reeve

Mentality Is best for we

Security don’t work on me

Have faith In me and you will see

Believe In yourself Is the key
