I’m coming straight out of the gate like an ex convict who just finished a 20 stretch Thought that I was out of bars, but I’ve got plenty left Basically spent the majority of my adult life in a sweat box Perfecting rhythms and flows and nobody’s bettered me yet No matter how many have tried I’ve never fallen once Used to rhyme with a closed mind, now it’s an open box Used to want to vacate the booth when I was given the opening spot Til I realised how much I got off my chest when I started opening up They just wanted to drop me in another pool of rappers Not knowing I’ve been chlorine my whole life I’d clean house They’d try to mess with my rhythm stoke I’d never breath out Try and hold me under longer Don’t try to tell me what it means to reach out I had a change of heart In other words I bypassed my own shit Needed to regroup forget my old shit Hone in on this craft that I’ve mastered and hold it Til I’ve squeezed the life up out of it and can say that I’ve owned it They love to ride on that skippy flow that I do so often If certain people no longer wanna put me on then I’m off then Feel like I’m the offspring of Steve Austin I guess I’m pretty fly for a white guy, and I’m stone cold when I’m stomping Guess I better learn from the errors that I’m churned out over the years Find myself back on the steps on the church of the Salvation Army Clutching a cordless mic Do your research, and maybe you’ll believe me when I say I’ve been following Booths my whole life I I Been lost inside a world that I don't care to live in Use my mic to say what I like and I don't care who listens Shared with you emotions they wont dare admit And now they locked my art inside a box that it can barely fit in Scary feeling When you realise that you been barely living Bare decisions made from an unfair position Stoned , unprepared to give em Dark rings around my eyes and all my hair is missing Far from where I started but too far from where my parents visioned, fair admittance Listen I've been saying that for years Through the darkness through the hardship Through the carnage through the tears Since the moment that I started been that artist that they fear Cuz my bars will hit your soul whilst they be targeting your ears They said my market disappeared and I need to switch the pattern with it Told em shut the fuck up cuz I haven't finished Rapping isn't nothing like them fashion victims tag you in it's Way more than unbalanced kids with challenges Still I don't see no challenge this Is natural to some of us No cap to those who coming up Regardless of your numbers know My catalogue is fucking nuts Go check my legacy I earned my stripes But burning herb all night had made me nervous and uncertain I Spent years to hide that certain side of me that causes pain Suppression caused depression and the hurt it caused insane Know it hurts when called insane by the ones you love the most But they the ones who fell in love with a ghost and now I'm certain it is Time that I unearth the spirit Resurrect that person with it Merged with what I've learnt Give my all til I resurface winning Bounce back more determined given all that I done And I'll decide when its over and done

Why would I scream ‘fore’ When I can talk sense into you and beat you the ‘fair way’ I can ‘pitch and putt’ my point across on the airwaves I could beat you in the open Or on a Sunday afternoon straight after the Lord’s Prayer Turn you into a walking parody of yourself in a meme with dancing Paul Bearers And that's not even a wrestling pun (nah) I’m not aiming to be done until they all stare Quickly swallow that ‘E’ until I’m in an all star game If only I didn’t have that poor start, when I was piss poor Coz when I started to spit it would quickly piss down and pour rain I would rather forfeit fame, than go through that game again If you were to walk in my shoes I don’t think you’d have much to say That’s where I think different That’s where Brinkworth says (Listen) I’ve got the type of mentality that could even shut Michael Jordan down like the ‘89 Pistons (Woo) I’d dunk on you fuckers and call you a poor excuse Of a lyricist, It’s like I’m Kel and the pen is my orange juice Or is that orange soda for the older viewers Sod it, I’ll just live down another mistake like when I let my life sink down in the sewers Fuck it, I’ll never figure out how big I could have been If I figured out how to treat certain figures in the scene They’d rather just point fingers aimed at me, instead of interfering It could have all been intervened Forget it listen here Even if we went out in a blaze of glory, you still couldn’t steal my ear Still couldn't steal my dignity When I said Im gonna kill em ya know, I meant it literally In a literal sense and with a literacy When i'm writing a rhyme it's like an epitaph Better laugh when I'm bringing meta to severe enemies second half Credit that to somebody else Cuz i never get caught red handed, i planned it A mantis, preying on an ant and I've landed (Yeah) I do not think that they ready yet... Get ready set , No don't you dare I get the feeling that most of these rappers they feeling are way unprepared There's just no way they compare Even at my age no way that its fair You get no points out here winning a race against those who severely impaired Why the fuck aint we there? Living how them other rappers living up in isolation streaming like they haven't got a care??!? Instead find I'm living how I'm always fucking living Depressed in isolation feeling aint nobody care (yeah) Life aint never fair but you fare better when you gain control of your affairs When it's fair weather you gon' notice everybody there So make a note of folk who there when there's rain in the air Cuzzzzzzz Cuz that's when you'll notice if they really got your back Cuz most of the time you will find its the ones that surround you that hold you back Now I grown to notice that when you unnoticed there's no time to phone you back Maintain your focus and cut off the waste in fact They be the ones who now pissed I aint wrote em back LISTEN Cuz they dont understand what its like living life down here down here Well fuck off Ya phone calls cutoff Your whole crew gon soft Everybody's trippin as i climb on top of The whole scene lock' off See me Im Sir Alex with my verse I'll embarrass you with words those who sat upon their perch guaranteed get knock' off Dangerous yeah that's what they gon label us So deft , like Mata when I take a touch Whilst they left like Lukaku as a waste of Shhhhhhhhhhh Look, words into something that could turn into something all we needs a little faith in us I said the waiting is over We Hate Being Sober , it's you who gon be chasing us (Uh) Dangerous Change is coming and it's difficult obtaining justice The evidence sits right there They aint see it Like an elephant sitting in the corner of the room Like a television You couldn't get this far Nah your metal detector cant detect this bar And its gold and totally non reactive To the bullshit coming out their jaws that's flapping I never wanna be solo again Do it with no hands like solo again No i never wanna be so low that i gotta watch my moves like go pro again Let it go to the end cuz my flows so heavy that it don't stop coming like i opened a vein Never choking again until i choke you outside in the rain Let the evidence float down the drain Like pennywise I'm not clowning i done this many times And i'm not drowning Beginning a steady rise Up to the top of the game Like snakes and ladders i avoid the fake ones I'm already climbing Now I'm on to a winner See a fake bitch on to me and then i chin her Off quick Get a drop kick and tell me How does it feel to get beat by a little goth bitch!?!

Mic check Yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah yayyyy Brinkworth Music Kenny Cadence Hate Being Fucking Sober Listen  Look Look Look , you aint dealing with no average rappers Ask about us Been about for years, aint no fad it's had us Trapped, had us detached from all of the things that mattered in fact If you'd have told me this shit when I started I probably wouldn’t have wanted to rap If you'd ask me to swap For all that I lost I never would give it you it back Had to adapt to master the craft And what I developed is something to last As a matter of fact It be the reason why I'm fucking here Sometimes you have to cuss to make it fucking clear Anyway let's step away from all that skippy shit  The lamest way to trick the kids to thinking that you really spit The brilliance is found beneath the roughage Underground we keep it buzzing  Still our sound don’t reach the public Every now n then Get a shot to try to reach above it  But with crabs around ya ankles know it's hard to breach the bucket Reefer puffing Clouds of smoke as my thoughts  Pulled about in the storm  Rearrange to fit the beat from which they sprouted and form A sick arrangement  Spit a phrase , can bring a big amazement  Been away but aint afraid to reengage and hit the pavement It's a shame he didn’t make it His engagement dissipated  Way before his twitter page did  All the buzz disintegrated All cuz he won't integrate with all of the vultures Who standing at the door to the culture Keep ignoring their calls  I'll perform but can't record you no features  I don't want to make no group or play support to eediots I just wanna drop a set to share my thoughts and then leave But most these rapping cunts won't have you 'less they holding your sleeves Or on their pocket on some T-Bag tip They gossip over tea bags it's  No wonder why I didn't sign  They all a bunch of hypocrites Listen Admitting it is half of the battle Leaving half of 'em rattled  Quarter ran  The other quarter recognise why I'm at you Salute the few who tried to dive in and tackle  Shit is brave, though all in vein as I stay sliding right past you  My punches sound like a bass drum when it thumps Oomph! That’s just based on proof, look, I hate the pedestal that you’ve been placed onto Mm, that’s just based on truth Let’s talk 2 Decades of lyricism, I walked straight into this criticism Born with the umbilical cord, wrapped round my neck twice Pretty biblical or more precise Now I just rap in chords, this isn’t even Me at full force Not even an Egan punchline could match my 4 adlib’s acting like a chorus See back in June, I said in August I’ll inject a shot aimed at the stars no Almagest But I got my sons endorsement Now be fully honest with me whats more important, The lessons learned or the lessons I could teach See if I can talk then Should have taught them Studying a craft shouldn’t lead to boredom And now my daughter Wants to get into this line of work, cause she just picked a boyfriend Who just started spitting That addictive nature started the kick in the groin trend But Ive seen a lot of annoying ends to promising careers No dishonouring in here Sick of the bollox of the politics its clear That I could vomit on a song and interfere Like Kanye with an award and it would still be like I wasn’t even here I’ll keep going to the bitter end I’ll never be Pete Dunn, Jump off into the deep end I’ll do it now like I did it then, Let the beat bump, until they speak of the wordplay in Sweedun that he penned Shit I meant Sweden Must of briefly lost my mind, but Im still breathing Need this to keep my mind occupied at the weekend, Now once again I’m on the rise, songs compromised I’m leaving Yo Who the fuck pulled the plug

Listen Look Look  Said lately I been tryna get my mind right Reminiscing  Wrestling with hindsight I Been so pessimistic never did think I'd climb Up from out the hole that I done dug myself in past times Look I think I need a better pastime  Cuz smoking everyday gon' make me fucking crazy It only takes an hour for me to do this  But I barely put out music Fair to say that I been fucking lazy  And I done thought of many reasons So creative with excuses even I would start believing  All the lies I've told myself to stop me feeling how I'm feeling I been weak and steady bleeding whilst the world thought I was healing  I I Wish I could just make me one song  Where I do not have to open up and speak about my demons  I I wish I could just go through one night Without feeling how I'm feeling and just Sleep when I close my eyes I I guess I'm searching for change  I swear it's like when things are good then I go searching for pain I often think about a way to leave this earth but I stay And there I go again proving to you all I'm insane Now look Been talking to myself more than I ever have  At war with what I never had and fought to get forever back Recreated every error made that ever set me back That means I'm running round in circles if you getting that  See the time you waste in life you cannot get it back And your decisions will dictate the type of threat you have  Far from a leader I can bet you that Said , I'm not hear to be no preacher I’m just saying where my head is at I'm just saying where my head is at I'm just saying where my head is at I'm just saying where my head is at  I'm just saying where my head is at  I'm just saying where my head is at  I used to stand with conviction Until I stood on that stand and got convicted I was convinced that Everybody was against me But in reality I was my own worst enemy And these people were just trying to help me Get out of that dark place that I was in The devils pulling me one way My inner child can see my wrong doings Kneeling at his bed Begging God please let him in Its no wonder I penned an EP For the Karmic Debt that I’m in Never mind my younger years though They were minor Came up with a mindset that I was ahead of my time and In a weird sort of way I was right Should have put the work in But I acted like a sick note Thought that I set the tone on the mic But Nope I would practise in mirrors and wouldn’t choke but Another empty venues and friends who were no shows Ironic because without a crowd there is no show I kept telling myself it would work out like Yeah I hope so Back to square one after going in circles I wrote like I was trying to fit circles in square holes I’d make a fist and tap a rhythm Work my knuckles to the bare bones See others being put on like No Don’t you dare moan Re-plan re-schedule react Its still in you re plant those seeds to get back Give it all your time and effort surely somebody will pick it up Just a bunch of fire emoji comments Back to relying on promise Id battle these independent battle rappers at skate parks But was too scared to enter battle leagues Wont stop until I’m the last to breathe But don’t go testing that Im just saying where my head is at I'm just saying where my head is at I'm just saying where my head is at I'm just saying where my head is at  I'm just saying where my head is at  I'm just saying where my head is at
