Hip Hop

lyrics

I´ll spit some rhymes for you right here
So open up your ears, re-fill your beers and say cheers
I´ll tell you stories that will articulate my years
Condensate your tears
Agitate your fears
And legitimate your cares
Stimulate your taste buds
Relay messages from above
I just want to laugh with you blood
But if you fuck with me I´ll get my cuz to rough you up
So make sure you back me up
And I´ll fill your soul with love
But if push comes to shove
You´re not careful, give me an earful
Seem to be disloyal
Back up the devil instead of your Seasta or my bruv
If you stumble and think that you can make me crumble
Just be sure I´ll be at the front of any rumble
Bare knuckled and hands clenched
Without looking I can smell your stench
You speak of me as your friend
Well I know that all depends
Trying to stand on high moral ground
You will always fall when true judgment comes around
Take a look at yourself you hypocrite
I´d never play my mates
You´re all as weak as dried up shit
So much disrespect
So much selfishness
Show a little self respect
Show a little fucking decency
Turn my head and clearly now I see
155 knives in my back
To trust no one means my love will never be thrown back
You are betrayed by what you lack
Causing me to react in an instant by its impact

I don´t want to play rough no more
Don´t want to act tough no more
Don´t want to feel like I have to carry a sword and shield
No more, no more

So I lay down my weapons
And kneel gracefully before my death
For I will be reborn with a shining medal upon my chest
And pillows surround my softness will keep my enemies perplexed
While relieving tears my eyes do shed will create a butterfly effect
And left without context
Those I touch will now be blessed
And long gone will be the days when equilibrium is upset
And I end up paying for someone else´s debt
Long gone are the days that I fret for someone else´s pain
That is only proclaimed
Because they´ve come to realise the repercussions of their own actions
Looked into my eyes and seen humility
Finally admitting that it is their own responsibility
Long gone are the days that I put your soul´s peace before my own sanity
For I am not afraid to speak and will not leave weak
My blessed humanity
For I still weep when I hear the songs you told me make you think of me
And I know you still believe
And you´re one of the only ones who knows my magic completely
But I´m not calm enough for you and you were never enough for me
I see you trying to forget but what we had runs too deep
And I´m at peace at this stage
At least I try everyday to forgive you for the pain
Hang your head in shame
But know that you are forgiven
For this grace I thank the heavens
And my arms will always be open
So I wait for you to be ready to fix that which has been broken
And now that you know
This will never again be spoken
Don´t just view my love here as a token

I don´t want to play rough now more
Don´t want to act tough no more
Don´t want to feel like I have to carry a sword and shield
No more, no more, no more
