All tracks are a story of being human, a journey to all levels of expression, from dark to light. The Messy LIfe, trying to Uncomplicate It and celebrating us, the Artists and Artworks in Progress. 

The Human Condition

You know when you have too many broken hearts and it's hard to to be vulnerable and courageous again to let yourself fall in love again - looking for the right person that never comes and you wonder why - hmmmm - this song is about that dilemma! 

I wanted to write a classical song - I wanted it about love but recalled my experience in my early years where I was afraid to commit, to fall and trust again.

Thanks AI for helping me land this track to this point reasonably quickly!  The song was butchered at the end so I needed to do some edit and restructure on the layers by splitting the stems and extending the song. A great demo for now for I do say so myself - it moved me. 

There is a hint of an extension of the love theme from my previous music video Once Upon A View I released on Youtube with an 1899 Cinderella Silent Film I was able to use! "The shoe must fit" :) 

Serve Love Lyrics

Upon a view at sunrise 
What lies ahead for you? 
Can there be love this time 
Waiting just for you?

I see again hesitation in those eyes 
Heels dug into grass brown stained 
What must lie on the other side
To defer again to another day?

Courage could not come soon enough 
But will it come at all?
You half-heartedly signed up for love 
With no stomach for the fall

Fall for love not because you are weak 
Fall for love because you are strong 
Fall for love not for the favours 
Fall for love because you serve love

Love has a lot to give 
But the shoe must also fit 
Love will refuse to stay 
It will indeed pull away
From the foolish takers 
The broken deniers 
Who sadly turn lovers 
Into runners for cover 

Courage could not come soon enough 
It won’t have to come soon
If you fool heartedly signed up 
To play lovers like fools

Fall for love not because you are weak 
Fall for love because you are strong 
Fall for love not for the favours 
Fall for love because we serve love

(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Serve, serve for love
(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Fall to serve love 

Upon a view to shine (shine) 
What be your kind? (the kind)
For the torch bearer (does know)
The light of truth fires up the passion 
oooooooh, ahhhhhhh

I see contemplation in your eyes 
Beneath stirring feet, you rise 
Committed to loving ways 
For much better days (better days)
The story goes, you wised up 
Bold tales of breaking down walls
That you full heartedly signed up 
To take the lead and light the way

(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Serve, serve for love
(Ah ahhhhhhhhhhh)
Fall to serve love 

(c) George Helou

Serve Love

When you have dreams where you fly, it feels so real - and slowly you realise that real life is about flying and our dreams are the portals for reaching new heights 

Fly High Lyrics 

It’s getting rather boring 
Everyday feels the same 
Living the same story 
Walking the same lane 

Limitations a plenty 
So much we can’t do
Caged into bad deeds 
Must escape the coup

Into the closeness 
To seize the greatness 
I come alive when
I close my eyes

(And in my dreams I)
Fly, fly high 
Fly, fly (aaaaaaahhh)
Fly fly high 
Fly fly (aaaaaaahhh)

That was incredible 
I felt invincible 
I took to the sky  
Rose so high 

So much to show
In our flow 
We are so much more
Through that door  

Into the closeness 
To seize the greatness 
I come alive when
I close my eyes

(And in my dreams I)
Fly, fly high 
Fly, fly (aaaaaaahhh)
Fly fly high 
Fly fly (aaaaaaahhh)

(In my sweet dreams)
Fly, fly high 
Fly to clouds 
Fly fly high 
Fly to the stars (aaaaaaahhh)

Am I of light? -What a dream  
Intention ignites - What I wish
Can this be - What it seems? 
Can we make it so - If we persist? 
Yet I awake - And walk I must 
Is this power to fly - On the cusp? 
Is it a metaphor - Of great wings 
That overcome - Difficult things   

Into the closeness 
To seize the greatness 
I come alive when
Closed eyes open my mind

(In the awakened state I)
Fly high, I see it clear
Fly, fly without the fear
Fly high to what is dear
Fly, fly (aaaaaaahhh)

(In the dream of today, I)
Fly high, be sincere
Fly, fly truly free
Fly high, love is here
Fly, fly (aaaaaaahhh)
  
The metaphor is great  
It powers my state 
But I sense more 
For us to be 
So much more 
Allow and leave
The floor to awe 
Through that door 

Into the closeness 
To seize the greatness 
I come alive when
I close my eyes

(And in my dreams I)
Fly, fly high 
Fly, fly (aaaaaaahhh)
Fly fly high 
Fly fly (aaaaaaahhh)

(In my sweet dreams)
Fly, fly high 
Fly to clouds 
Fly fly high 
Fly to the stars (aaaaaaahhh)
(Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh)

Fly High

This represents my story about how I was in a war zone at 5 years of age - a bomb exploded across an intersection from our apartment where I was standing on the balcony. I witnessed a young girl pass away from it - I was too young if there is any age to confront such horror. 

Many experiences starting with this one made me run from my dreams. I share how I managed to outgrow my fear. Many people relate to this story because we are all on that mission to overcome our fears, traumas and conditioning. 

Here I Am Lyrics 

Where to start? 
Maybe right from the start 
Burned in my soul 
An explosion mark 
A tail of smoke
Big boom, hurry run!
Running, running
Where are you mum?

Shockwaves blew 5 years 
Of innocence away 
Saw evil killing 
Boys and girls in its way
Realisation that 
Faceless monsters exist
Raise that guard 
For the stones and sticks

Upon me and around me
So much to do 
Stay in your shell kid
They’re in a bad mood
Park your dreams
Wish your wishes away
Trust once in yourself 
And they’ll make you pay

Where am I going? 
Who should I be?
Can I exist 
Beyond here?
This fear’s too heavy
For my knees
Can’t keep running
From who to be

Was too busy to find me
Too busy to find me
But here I am, here I am 
Got lost in the grinding
It sadly defined me 
But here I am, here I am
I feel so alive, 
This me I can’t hide
Here I am, here I am
Here I ammmmmmm!  

What a nice quiet kid
They’re so eager to say
Does what he’s told
He must be okay
Loyal to the one goal
To simply assimilate 
Camouflaged like vanilla
What a fate 

Must please them 
So they’ll accept you 
Be invisible 
So they can’t reject you
Put your hands down
Kill the attention
Before you fail
Avoid their detection

What’s this place 
That pushes me down?
Where does it come from? 
Why does it come?
Who are these creatures
Waiting in shadows?
Time to call their bluff
Hey! Come take me, awayyyyyy! 

Woooooaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Come take me, awayyyyy! 
Woooooaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Where did they go? 
I surrendered to their power
Are they that gutless?
Or was I the conductor?
Of their power 
To keep me from myself 
To keep me being 
Anything but myself

Where was I going? 
What to be?
Time to exist 
Beyond here
The fear was heavy
For my knees
Gotta stop running
From who to be

Was too busy to find me
Too busy to find me
But here I am, here I am 
Got lost in the grinding
It sadly defined me 
But here I am, here I am
I feel so alive, 
This me I can’t hide
Here I am, here I am
Here I ammmmmmm!

Where next?
This is a brand-new start
Creating from my soul 
Leave legacy marks
Precious trails 
Off memories and fun
Flowing, flowing
From heart to mind

Where next?
This is a brand-new start
Creating from my soul 
Leave legacy marks
Precious trails 
Off memories and fun
Flowing, flowing
This is my time

Here I Am

The rapid evolution of AI and all tech is clashing with the definition of what it means to be an artist, to create and to deliver meaningful value to ourselves and each other. 

This song calls out for a humbling to embrace the opportunities, temper the judgement and to allow new dynamics of expression and allow the adventure of where it lands, how it continues to evolve for a new balance of a sustainable value exchange. I see creativity and artistry to become a part of each human's way to express their purpose and emotion. 

The tech is far from perfect and may never truly get there, but it does deliver a platform that is truly spectacular and only keeps getting better. This song was frustrating because I could not get production with AI to avoid over-production and what I consider unnecessary layers of sounds. At least this is a kick ass demo for a future version cleaner and more refined. 

Joy Waves Lyrics 

You want the best for me 
So, I flow for you to see
In my proudest moments 
You’re neither felt or keen  
To express in the present 
How you experienced me 
Left hanging for timely attention
Left joy, joined the confusion 

I look closely and I see
A person caught in fear 
Incapable of creating 
Fearing the exposing
Embarrassing mistakes 
Costly trembling takes 
Evidence for the fail 
Reasons to quickly bail 

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high) 

Between black ’n white worlds 
Be petty or be understanding 
Driven by the desire to serve  
How do I balance the dividing?
Exit its fear while holding on 
To the pained eyes that roll 
Grasping for significance 
With perfection insistence 

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

I look closely and I see
A person caught in fear 
Incapable of a new race 
Competing for space 
Troubled by a new face
Costly hesitation takes 
Complacency centre stage
In a cloak ’n dagger game

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

Those flexing creative prestige 
Frowning at unconventional ways 
That surf the waves of innovation 
Creating light speed exhilaration 
Worried to lose what they don’t have 
Yet right here, right now, it’s 
All at our fingertips 

All good for some 
All bad for others 
But who knows?
Who knows?
Follow your heart 
Let passion drive you 
And let truth do  
The heavy lifting 

Flow for your purpose 
Stay true to your service 
Keep finding ways
To ride the joy waves  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)  

The fans motivate  
The haters motivate  
The true creators 
Respect the balance  

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

Just ride the joy waves 
Ride (ride them high)
Just ride the joy waves 
Ride them high (Real high)

Joy Waves

Soul Bell Lyrics   

To reach me is not easy
I’m busy being tough
Too busy trying too hard
To be what? Never enough 

Who’s the authority of my approval? 
Who’s ordained with perfect vision? 
Who’s threatening my removal
On this hoop jumping mission?

In a battle with this crazy world 
Is a cruel fight with who exactly?
Must deal with my judgement hurl
That inner deep unsatisfactory

I’m not allowed to look there
I can never have the time
Flaws and failure if I dare
Is the only thing I’ll find.

Yet I exist, I persist,
So confusing, so deluding
Dividing myself from divine right
Busy excusing and exuding

Lies, lies, lies about 
Self, self, self
Cry, cry, deny all
Help, help, help
Lies, lies, lies about
Self, self self
Can’t deny, it’s time
To ring my soul bell!  

Time for my fervour
What must be true?
Can’t look any further
Than my creation in view

What God-Universe is in me?
How truly loving must it be?
Would it choose my absence?
Or am I an eternal substance?
 
I am taking a risk on the latter
Just be me, I already matter
No longer trapped in roles
with self defeating goals

The lies, lies, lies now end
Truth does finally set me free
To view all with the omni lens
Precious artists and artworks in progress

Soul Bell

We wish for all our young to find their strength and voice through the challenges of their teens. 

Your Voice Lyrics   

Crying eyes, hard shut 
You still found my thumb 
And squeezed it firmly 
The start of our story
That moment you were born 
A miracle to our world
That day I had sworn
To protect you, baby girl

Yet, I noticed very early 
You were a cautious one 
I fished, throwing burley 
As you climbed rocks for fun
I said and did nothing 
Knowing you’d be fine 
Standing between gull and fish 
You protected our dinner dish 

We thought we protected you 
You did conquer cliffs 
But there was more to do 
Dealing with sociopaths 
Should have seen them coming
Conditioned for the shunning
You were their bait 
They maimed your faith 

A fate we had to change 
Unfitting for a heart so pure 
We were too slow to chase 
Ideas lodged to endure
We watched the pain set in 
Taking over your life force 
Our tools unable to get in
Trampled on a dark course  

Too precious for lies 
To be deceived like this 
Too resilient and wise 
To be kept down like this
Finding your substance 
Without losing your kindness
A new song to sing 
Ending the lonely silence  

You found your voice 
Strong and sweet 
You found your voice
To cool the heat  
You found your voice 
To make your presence felt 
A voice that now leads  
Hearts to melt 

You had to realise 
All on your own 
That breaking free 
Is not done alone 
Though the choice 
Was to be made by you  
Making a difference 
Starts with you 

Too precious for lies 
To be deceived like this 
Too resilient and wise 
To be kept down like this
Finding your substance 
Without losing your kindness
A new song to sing 
Ending the lonely silence  

You found your voice 
Strong and sweet 
You found your voice
To cool the heat  
You found your voice 
To make your presence felt 
A voice that leads  
Hearts to melt 

What a platform
You now enjoy 
In great form
Finding your joy
Taking your ups
With your downs 
Building self-love 
So much found 

Too precious for lies 
To be deceived like this 
Too resilient and wise 
To be kept down like this
Finding your substance 
Without losing your kindness
A new song to sing 
Ending the lonely silence  

You found your voice 
Strong and sweet 
You found your voice
To cool the heat  
You found your voice 
To make your presence felt 
A voice that leads  
Hearts to melt

Sweet, sweet voice 
Strong ‘n carefree 
Sweet, sweet voice 
Knowing how to be  
Sweet, sweet voice 
Standing tall 
Sweet, sweet voice 
Handling it all 
In great company

Your Voice

I go on and on about how we all have similar issues but they play out differently and only in some areas of our lives. I know we as people care so deeply and try hard to make a difference for each other but sometimes we slip into a selfless unsustainability that burns us out and tempts us to go dark with selfishness and bitterness. Many of us are so afraid of becoming that, we stay self sacrificing - but does it have to be this way in a world where so many care - so many earth angels to flock together. 

Angel (Can You Feel The Difference You Make?) Lyrics

The difference you make
If only you knew

I don’t think I’ve met
Anyone like you
The way you care
The special things you do
Do you know your limits?
Do you ever quit?
Dedicated to the max
Are you ever still?

Angel on a treadmill
Where’s it taking you?
Invested in so many
What about you?

Do you feel (Feel)
The difference you make?
After all that
Effort you make?
Do you feel (Feel)
The difference you make?
What will it take
For you to feel
(The difference you make?)

I know what you want
To feel loved so deeply
Working hard to the bone
For it to flow back freely
Working so hard, so long
To make sure no one’s wronged
Where is the reciprocation
And the consideration?

An angel you are
Your light shines so far
If only you could see
What we see
The impact you make
On the many and me

How can being selfless
Be sustainable?
No matter what you do
Nothing's obtainable
Would you ever be
Allowed to win?
Has the injustice
Crawled under your skin?
Are you tempted to be selfish
But afraid love may diminish?

Angel on a treadmill
Where’s it taking you?
Invested in so many
What about you?

Do you feel (Feel)
The difference you make?
After all that
Effort you make?
Do you feel (Feel)
The difference you make?
What will it take
For you to feel
(The difference you make?)

The pure hearted like you
Need the help
To not be exploited
Even from yourself
Can we help protect
Your vulnerability?
Can you embrace
The responsibility
Of receiving too?

So awkward to receive
A glitch in the deal
Last for the feed
This can’t be real
You love giving
Let others love
Giving too
Giving to you
Can you? (Can you?)
Without the fear
Of risking that you matter too
(Let the angels appear for you)

An angel you are
Your light shines so far
Let lights shine back
From the impact you make
Turn the wheel of give ’n take

Please feel (Feel)
The difference you make
After all that
Effort you make
Please feel (Feel)
The difference you make
What will it take
For you to feel 
(The difference you make?)
The difference you make?

Angel (Can You Feel The Difference You Make?)

How important is it to treat every day like your stage, and you the Director of the script, the plot and the character you play? This way of relating to being is what made me write this track. 

You Are The Act Lyrics  

Have you wondered 
Whether you are 
The centre 
Of the Universe?
What else exists 
Beyond what you see?
When you turn a corner 
Does it all appear
(For you?) 

What you do matters
Whatever you choose 
It’s your plot
Win or lose 
It’s your story 
Whatever you do 
The tape keeps rollin’
Take after take, it’s rollin (Rollin’)

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

Display your smile 
Flex it for a while 
The world is turning 
Are you enjoying?

Can a story click 
Without a twist?
What’s the meaning?
Whatever you’re feelin’
A villain, a hero 
From winning to zero 
Losing to winning
(Again and again) 

Beware what shatters 
When you snooze  
The plot thickens 
So again you lose 
But it is your story 
Whatever you do 
The tape keeps rollin’
Take after take, it’s rollin (Rollin’)

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

Lost your smile?
Been gone awhile 
The world is turning 
Are you imploding?

By now we hope
You worked it out 
You’re the Director 
(Action!) Shout it out
Make life your stage
The main character 
Escaping the cage 
Can you be it all 
Can you be it all 
For your story’s sake?
(Be it all, for your story’s sake) 

What else shatters 
When you just cruise?  
The plot thickens 
To make you lose 
But it is your story 
Whatever you do 
The tape keeps rollin’
Take after take, it’s rollin (Rollin’)

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

Searching for smiles
Travelled for miles 
The world is turning 
Are you adventuring?

Write the scripts
That makes ‘em think 
Craft characters 
That swim not drift 
Sold out tickets  
’n box office hitters 
All those takings
History in the making

Edit what matters 
Win or lose 
The plot keeps thickening
The next scene ensues 
Always your story 
Whatever you do 
The tape keeps rollin’
Take after take, it’s rollin (Rollin’)

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

You are the act 
How cool is that?
You are the act 
You are the act

Finish with a smile
You clocked the miles 
The world keeps turning 
And your tape keeps spinning
(Spinning, spinning)

You Are The Act

So I fused my instrumental composition from 10 years ago into lyrics I wrote for it this year and yes, this song was inspired by The Doors

How lovely when the humble inherit the beautiful ones  - we may not get fairy tale endings, but we do get the gift of true love. 

Stranger Things Lyrics 

[Intro]
Oooohhh ahhhhhh

Hello there stranger
Where’d you come from?
You fine, fine thing 
Let me take you 
Into my wildest dreams
I am for real 
Way beyond keen 
I have the feels 

I see the competition peak
I do weaken at the knees 
I am a lover, not a fighter 
But maybe I can be a fighter 
For your love (Your love) 

Stranger things do happen 
Like you wanting me 
You took me to heaven 
On your strings (Your strings) 
Stranger things do happen 
(ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh) 
My sweet peach (So sweet) 
Ohhhh, my sweet peach

What is that special sauce 
That no one can explain 
You captivate the masses 
And leave me in pain 
Wanting more of you 
Wanting all of you 
Only to be teased 
A player in your game 

The words you speak 
They plant like seeds 
I’m a muse to your beat 
A warmer to your seat 
Anything for my love (My love) 

Stranger things do happen 
Like you wanting me 
You took me to heaven 
On your strings (Your strings) 
Stranger things do happen 
(ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh) 
My sweet peach (So sweet) 
Ohhhh, my sweet peach

How long is a piece of string 
No measure to what I see 
You’re my beginning and end 
My life time friend 
My lover, my teacher 
For you, my mind does bend 
To the moon and back, then
(To the moon and back again) 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Where I wouldn’t go for you 
This true love soothes 
Every part of me 
Thanks to you (Thanks to you) 
I know, I know
Sometimes I do slip 
Yet you tolerate 
What doesn’t deserve your bliss 

Stranger things do happen 
Like you wanting me 
You took me to heaven 
On your strings (Your strings) 
Stranger things do happen 
(Ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh) 
My sweet peach (So sweet) 
Ohhhh, my sweet peach

The miles we’ve reached 
They may wear our feet
But never the heart 
That continues to beat 
For you, my love (My love) 

Stranger things do happen 
Like you wanting me 
You took me to heaven 
On your strings (Your strings) 
Stranger things do happen 
(Ahhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh) 
My sweet peach

That sauce, that special sauce 
Still sends me into a whizz 
Stranger things 
Like you wanting me 
Stranger things (Stranger things)

Stranger Things


My turn, your turn - if only we took turns with the joy rides rather than be selfish or selfless - what is love anyway, but to be on the roundabout of sharing eh?

Roundabout Lyrics 

When will it be my turn 
Who decides this?
I need to know 
Was I missed?
I am pretty sure 
I delivered tonnes 
To receive something
Next to nothing (None)   

Raised being selfless 
I must admit 
I glamorised it too 
Gave a lot, took a bit 
A tank near empty 
How far can I go 
To earn that love 
Get off that low

Let’s not give up
Let’s be enough 
Let’s raise our glass
To the roundabout 
We’re taking turns 
On the roundabout
My turn (Your turn) 
On the roundabout

To go where I please 
To care what I feel 
Make it up as I go 
Without the need to know 
This time I’m pleased 
Choosing my deeds 
Caring what to be
With permission from me 

Raised being selfless 
I must admit 
I glamorised it too 
Gave a lot, took a bit 
A tank near empty 
How far can I go 
To earn that love 
Get off that low

Let’s not give up
Let’s be enough 
Let’s raise our glass
To the roundabout 
We’re taking turns 
On the roundabout
My turn (Your turn) 
On the roundabout

We won’t be selfish 
Let’s not be afraid 
Let’s be including 
What each have to say  
I’ll be there for you
Like I have always 
Now I’m included
(Fully and always)

To go where we please 
To care what we feel 
Make it up as we go 
Without the need to know 
This time we’re pleased 
Choosing our deeds 
Caring what to be
Jointly (Jointly) 

Raised being selfless 
I must admit 
I did go selfish
For only a little bit 
Before it got lonely 
A completed journey
I was ready for love 
(Ready for love) 

Let’s not give up
Let’s be enough 
Let’s raise our glass
To the roundabout 
We’re taking turns 
On the roundabout
My turn (Your turn) 
On the roundabout

Let’s not give up
Let’s be enough 
Let’s raise our glass
To the roundabout 
We’re taking turns 
On the roundabout
My turn (Your turn) 
On the roundabout

Finally we get it
Now we feel it
And we be it 
My turn (Your Turn) 
On the roundabout
Your turn (My turn) 
When is it your turn 
Is that still the tricky bit?

Roundabout

Sometimes we become a big deal and I think that is the moment we must not take ourselves too seriously!

I'm Kind Of A Big Deal Lyrics 

Oh, so you have problems? 
(I see, uh hum, I see) 
No one can solve ‘em?
(Sounds bad and costly) 
You tried everything?
(Oh ok, that’s bad, dear me) 
There’s nothing else we can do?
(Oh, you’re the authority on ideas?)

It does not take long 
Before I’m joining the dots 
It does not take long 
Before I’m callin’ the shots 

‘Cause I’m kind of a big deal 
Oh yeah, that’s right 
I’m kind of a big deal 
So don’t waste my time 
A big deal in this city 
A big deal to the girl’s looking pretty 
A big deal (Making it real) 

Are you sure you want my help?
You appear to love failing 
Preaching like you know 
While clinging tight to those railings 
Get your fear out of my way 
I got real work to do 
To show you the role of courage 
And how I create breakthroughs 

It does not take long 
Before I’m joining the dots 
It does not take long 
Before I’m callin’ the shots 

‘Cause I’m kind of a big deal 
Oh yeah, that’s right 
I’m kind of a big deal 
So don’t waste my time 
A big deal in this city 
A big deal to the girl’s looking pretty 
A big deal (Making it real) 

I wasn’t always a big deal 
There was a time not long ago 
Where I was like you 
Blocking the flow 
Overthinking it all 
Getting no where quick  
Overplaying my hand 
Making myself sick 
(Then I got slick) 

I slowed it right down 
To see what many won’t 
When I do, its game over 
I go where many don’t 
I make it look easy 
That’s because it is 
When you get informed like me 
There’s not much you miss 

It does not take long 
Before I’m joining the dots 
It does not take long 
Before I’m callin’ the shots 

‘Cause I’m kind of a big deal 
Oh yeah, that’s right 
I’m kind of a big deal 
So don’t waste my time 
A big deal in this city 
A big deal to the girl’s looking pretty 
A big deal (Making it real) 

So don’t be confused 
I didn’t come with a title 
I came with the power 
To do what is vital 
I’m kind of a big deal  
I hope that helps 
You might want to relax now 
Let that stress just melt 

It does not take long 
Before I’m joining the dots 
It does not take long 
Before I’m callin’ the shots 

‘Cause I’m kinda of a big deal 
Oh yeah, that’s right 
I’m kind of a big deal 
So don’t waste my time 
A big deal in this city 
A big deal to the girl’s looking pretty 
A big deal (A very, very big deal)

I’m Kind Of A Big Deal

I know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, and know when to back out slowly without breaking eye contact. Sometimes you just gotta give 'em all the finger.


August 5, 2025

She in love with the modern medicine
I'm in love with the oldest
Off the dust and off the Remy, she in love with the boldest
Get your cameras ready, this one's for the folks back home
This one for the ones who left me in the dirt with the posers
Ain't no need for me to roast,
It's real money off the rap, but I don't need to boast,
They think they'll be tappin' on my back, but I'm not here workin' for free,
Might take a crack at those who know, 
Gotta keep it tight, ev'ry body wantin' mo,
But you wouldn't believe the number of the snakes that it breeds
But I ain't sweatin' that
It's a high price, I'm aware of that
I ain't got no time to compare to that
Since we were young G's, we prepared for that
I'm a wild boy, they can't tame me
I'm from tha West-side of "ain't no fake G"
Still on the block, I'm with my lady
My mumma threw a fit, my shorty had a baby,
Check the silk on my KC,
Don't ever play me, I'm committed to stay free,
On my grizzle 'til my shit stop, 
Bringin' some rizzle to my hip-hop,
Shorty told me, "Babe, your ship's docked"
Told her, "That's what got my wrist rocked"
Me and my lil' homey went from Barwon to Goulburn,
Still a way to go, but I'm keeping it Golden,
Makin' moves on the low, like you wouldn't believe
Can't be movin' too slow, keep your name off the streets,
But you wouldn't believe
(But you wouldn't believe)


And I ain't no slave, my home is not a cage
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came
Walking backwards out of hell!
(Things will never be the same!!!)
And I ain't no slave, my home is not a cage
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came
Walking backwards out of hell!
(Things will never be the same!!!)
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came


Walkin' backwards out of hell
The God of War, I get my power out the shells
Keep bussin', gotta do that shit that sells,
You may be a shark, but I'm a killer whale,
Goin' all in, I'm in too deep not to prevail, 
I knew I'd make it 'cause I'm too stubborn to fail,
I'm too beligerent not to
Knew I'd come through, 'Cos it's written in the plot to,
Don't worry Homey, I ain't never forgot you,
I just went through the kinda hell that either breaks or unlocks you, 
And I hope it works out exactly like you planned, 
But I still got receipts tucked up tight in my hand,
The shadows lurkin', but I'm standing my ground,
Puttin' love out to these bitches, wherever they be found
you gotta let 'em know, I'm not here to fuck around,
Ain't building bridges just to burn them down,
I won't be led astray, even if you think I would,
Maybe I'm under the influence, 
Maybe I'm misunderstood?
If you listen to my rhymes, you'll find, in silence, I'm profound,
But like you're baby daddy, I didn't cum to stick around, 
I can count my money by just listening to the sound,
Of my wallet stretching every time that I sit down,
I finally cracked the system, I'm not trying to be found,
I won't fear the reaper until I'm cold and in the ground,


And I ain't no slave, my home is not a cage
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came
Walking backwards out of hell!
(Things will never be the same!!!)
And I know it may not be heaven, but it's better than where I came


Walking Backwards Out Of Hell

For those that took a while before they knew why they loved a person so much. 

I Love You So Much Lyrics 

I love you so much 
(So much) 
I love you so much 
(So much)

It wasn’t always this way 
When we met 
You didn’t even like me 
I lost a bet (that you would) 
I was on the defensive 
You were offensive 
We almost ended before we begun 
What a relief we weren’t done

I now have my reasons 
They are many 
But I can’t explain
Why I love you so much

I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I love you so much (So much)

I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I love you so much (So much)

Is it your laugh?
Uncontrollable ’n sweet 
Or your slide between my legs 
To warm those icy feet? (Ahhh) 
Is it when I wake 
To your caring stare 
Or your gullible side 
That falls for the double dare?

I now have my reasons 
They are many 
But I can’t explain
Why I love you so much

I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I love you so much (So much)

I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I don’t know why 
I love you so much (So much)

We get tested 
The love does collide 
With doubts and pride 
That ugly side 
The sabotage gets real 
And the love that we feel
Free falls to hell 
To sound the bell

(The soul bell)
The soul bell (of soulmates)
(Soul mates) 
Then we know why 
We rise to a love so high
And the high feels deep
For nothing is too steep 
For what we are 
(For each other)

Even more reasons 
To add to the many 
But now I can explain
Why I love you so much

I do know why (I do, I do) 
I do know why (I’m with you) 
I do know why (I do, I do)
I love you so much (So much)

I do know why (I do, I do) 
I do know why (I’m with you) 
I do know why (I do, I do)
I love you so much (So much)

I love you so much 
(So much) 
I love you so much 
(So much)
I love you so much

I Love You So Much

Sometimes we have to pay attention to what we tell ourselves and maybe we are the only ones that can truly hold ourselves accountable to be courageous and to learn what we must change about ourselves that is not serving us or anyone. 

Draw The Line Lyrics 

Excuses, excuses 
Getting nowhere
Blowing my fuses 
Everywhere 
Perfected my reasons
To get overwhelmed 
Ejected my dreams 
For my underwhelm

To become a star 
And go very far 
It’s poor form 
When I avoid the start 
Can’t dare to look 
At me being dubious 
Stalling the steps
Is getting obvious

Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah?
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Making excuses 
To stay what? Useless?
Who draws the line? 
I draw the line 
Who draws the line? 
I draw the line!

I recall
A special time  
Where I was carefree 
On a whim, I’d ride 
So much happening 
Taking big strides 
Then the brakes locked 
And began to slide

To become a star 
And go very far 
Where’s the form 
To set me apart?
Can’t stay shook
By hook or by crook 
Resistance to steps
I must reject

Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Making excuses 
To stay what? Useless?
Who draws the line? 
I draw the line 
Who draws the line? 
I draw the line!

I used my imagination 
To catastrophise
I used my voice 
Without my sight
Until I realised 
This wasn’t wise 
Going after what I wanted 
It did organise 
Like the biggest rocks first 
In that precious jar 
Later the sand 
Then the liquid part 
Order creates order 
What comes first is belief 
Create the reasons 
Before you hit the streets
Then hit the streets 
For destiny to meet 
(Oooohhhhh)

To become a star 
And go very far 
I must transform 
For a new start
The dare to look 
Was all it took 
Those first steps
Is where courage led

Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Making excuses 
To stay what? Useless?
Who draws the line? 
I draw the line 
Who draws the line? 
I draw the line!

Excuses smashed 
To get somewhere
Momentum carries 
To get me there 
I worked out my reasons
Why I care 
Injected my passion 
And now I dare

To become a star 
And go very far 
It’s fine form 
To explode at the start 
I have a look 
I’m now curious 
Owning the steps
Living on purpose

Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Wah wah wah? 
Wah wah wah? 
I said wah? 
Did I hear me right?
Smashing excuses 
Otherwise I got furious 
Who drew the line? 
(I drew the line)

Who drew the line? 
(Who drew the line?)
(Who drew the line?)
Wah wah wah?
(Who drew the line?)
I drew the line!
(Who drew the line?)
I drew the line!

Draw The Line


23 August 2025

Two thousand two, I’m sleeping like a soldier,
From the cracks in the pavement, the world gets colder.
I had to make peace with the shadows hanging over my shoulders,
I'll tell you the same thing that I told her,

Keep repeating the mantra, one foot in front of the other,
This isn't the end,  it's the scene where you have to get tougher,
Always knew that I would come through one way or another,
But don't ever call me lucky, nah, I didn't get here 'cos I'm pretty,

And I would have got out if I had money for petty,
Bitch, I started off lower than shark shit in this city.

I was...


Barefoot in Brisbane
(Watching another dawn,)
Walking barefoot in Brisbane,
(Can't stop moving on,)


Learning my lessons from the Junkies round the tracks, 
I just kept on frontin’, because I'm never going back,
Money like sand, slipping through these hands like dust,
I got faith in the fuel light, but I'm gettin' low on trust,

I'm still running on empty, but my nothing is plenty,
You struggle to see you've got nothing to tempt me,
Tell me what you've done to make you fit to be judgin',
You Don’t get to check my privilege, like you came from nothing,

I had no bootstraps to pull on, but let me tell you something,
Those lurking in the shadows can still see the light coming,
But not before you learn there's danger blind trustin'
You're getting bogged down, but I’m still running...


Barefoot in Brisbane
(Maybe you ought to try)
Running barefoot in Brisbane
(Just don't look them in the eye,)


Hey, Looking down your nose ain't so good for your neck, when you're older, 
Sinking under the weight of that chip on your shoulder,
Look, stay out of my way while I'm chasing my dreams in a steamroller,
Say, How'd your mum go with all the pingers I sold her?

I see the maths ain't mathin', when you try to figure me, 
The answers aren't on my face, they're on the soles of my feet,
You don't know that you're wrong, I've been moved along,
Just to make more space for you, 
You can't solve problems if you haven't got a clue,

One day We'll see who's right, just by seeing who's left, and who's who,
Spend less time judging me, worry about who's judging you,
I can still feel your fingers through all the scar tissue,
'till then I'll just remember being...


Barefoot in Brisbane
(It's where you learn just who you are)
barefoot in Brisbane
(Sleeping under a blanket made of stars)

I was...
Barefoot in Brisbane
(Watching another dawn,)
Walking barefoot in Brisbane,


Barefoot in Brisbane
