Ride on a rhyme till my truth arise from the inside
Fly when your thoughts are aligned with your walk
I chalk losses then chalk bodies when thinking four at the same time
Two brains for the same mind
Few may imitate mine

I take time to take time
And stay silent like I’m Miles Davis in ‘69
To stay wiser while I
Wiley Coyote go warn a brother approaching
Come at me and I’ll go ACME to pick you off like you’re acne
Can’t trap the…

Spirit extracted in nuclear fission reactions
Galaxies battling gravity
Birthing humanity
A fraction of infinity wrapped in skin
This baby girl giving me joy
Born free, but what happened then?

Exactly when did a label attach to men?
My tears are for your hate or applause as you please
But these genes on this Earth by an accident
Baby girl born free till she sees…

Fear of the foreigner on internet forums
I furrow my brow
Burrow our past
Rummage around till I see…
Women in tribes reaching for berries
The fatter that they be, the fatter the baby
She said “your faction better leave if we isn’t related
My family’s fed first, nah we isn’t the same bitch
The different are dangerous
Make sure the distance remains
Unless you offer me something first, then my position won’t change”
Born with a noose
Torn from the warmth of the womb
Tortured to try to belong to the group
Longed for a youth that was effortless as yours was
But every effort that I made would get ignored cos

I’d say the wrong thing at the wrong time
I’d ask “How are you? It’s become a long time!”
Then you’re offline cos you’ve got friends but they’re not mine
Am I fucked up in the head? Am I not right?

It’s been a long night
I take a walk in the park on my own again
My only friend? My own mind
It turns to a foe when I be low like
No tongue but two eyes
No tongue but two eyes

I can see the silver lining in shadows when love dies
And I can help you see the same every time I does write
I do this for myself
You can go away with your judging eyes
“The judges loved your work
Now they’re wanting to get it publicized”
Am I too gone? Am I too gone?
Will you love me when the mood’s wrong?
Will you love me when I’m drugged up and I can’t write you a new one?
There’s a weight borne on my shoulders
Each side over two tonnes
I’m a mouthpiece for the mountains when I wanted to be human

I loved my life quickly
Now the fountain of my youth’s gone
But I did write so sick
I’mma live a thousand years too long
Live a thousand years through song
Live a thousand years through dance
You turn an artist into a martyr every time that you glance so

ANALYZE ME
Go ahead and analyse me
Go ahead and analyse till you’re satisfied
You wouldn’t bat an eye if I couldn’t write
In the paradigm where you’re mad as I and your talent dies, no-ones standing by thee
Unless I can provide, who will have the time for my damaged psyche?

Where would you leave me if the fruits of my labour weren’t this sweet?
Babbling poetry to the concrete slabs of the street?
Would you miss me?
Would you kiss me?
Would you let me into history?
It’s not a mystery
Cos my sis be
Evidence we would dismiss me
That’s Laura.
Tell me you love me for me
Tell me your loving is deep
Tell me your loving won’t fade the day my talent deplete
Tell me your loving won’t age if I don’t carry your seed
Only the roses remain up in our family tree

Tell me your love’s unconditional
Whether loser or winner
Not for the work, but for the scent of my spirit
For the essence
Reject the talent – the awe made of your minerals
Is your love for the kid or for the mirror?
Tell me

Tell me you love me for me
Tell me your loving is deep
Tell me your loving won’t fade the day my talent deplete
Tell me your loving won’t age if I don’t carry your seed
Only the roses remain up in our family tree

Tell me your love’s unconditional
Whether loser or winner
Look in my eyes and you see you a mirror
Oh no…
Guess loving Laura was difficult
Flaws made of your minerals
Guess she wasn’t the kid you were wishing for.
