Lyrics 

Skit:
Sometimes I feel I try too hard you know.
I give it everything I’ve got.
And still I come up with nothing.
But on those days I least expect.
Booom!!! 
I blast through. 

Chi-ching!!

Reward…
———————
🎼Please, sorry, your eyes, just lies
—————
Some talk about killing me dead in the streets
Some just wish to burry me beneath their feet 
But That talk don’t worry me, they can’t compete 
Home boy I’m a unit, built like a tank
Captain of this big ship, You walk the plank 
Touch down like a night owl, clutch pain like ow 
Just how do I do this, can’t show you now
Batman vs penguin, touch face like pow
Militant solder in his overalls
Screw begging for less when I could have em all
Wan play big games then let us have a ball 🎱 
Brutalise your steps make you wanna fall
Cool smooth like a ice chip, until I flip
Blow steam like an engine, when I’m lean 
What is it that you mean, I keep it clean
Try not to be eager but stay keen
Try not to be so needy, and you’ll see
Best things in life come cheap or even free 
Screw using these things I got energy
Win when I encounter my enemy 
Hot shot like a short gun that lets off
Life humbles you if you think you’re tuff
That goes to all who act big n buff
Screw making 3 verses I’ve had enuff 



Skit

It’s the melanin.

Got these boys acting loco.

It’s a tall order.
Cause when you come against that brick wall.
You have to do everything in your power to overcome.
it’s not a fun fixture.
It’s there for a reason.
To test you.
To see how far you’re willing to push yourself.
See life has its walls.
Will you succumb when  you come across one of these life’s little treasures .
Or will you push through .
Literally smash through these walls .
To embrace the real you .
TO reach that reward of finally finding out who you really are…
You must never Fall before the Wall…

The Wall

Lyrics & Summary 

I don’t know I 
I find it hard to find the right things to say sometimes 
How so ?
It’s like there’s two sides to me
A quiet side and a raging beast 
I see !! 

Darkness befalls a secret held deep
Tales of nightmares when I choose sleep
Truths that unfold dramas that creep
Where you could fall if you don’t leap
Life’s for the living if you take the dare
Choose wisely Hidden dangers in there
Other hand will freeze if you choose to stare
Opened handed gifts of pain live in here 

God guide my heart through the cursed path
Time waits for none who don’t take part
Move swiftly living is a gifted art
Show your hidden talent of your chosen craft 
Slowly make use of time wisely 
There’s no rewinds move decisively
Jewels to be owned as far as I see
Making hard moves was the choice for me
Obstruction crushed plans of unity
Corruption rules as king in this industry 
A change of plans to switch my vicinity 
A place of peace to find rest perfectly

Lyrics 


Hmmmmm sometimes I feel like everything wants me dead
It’s this dark thoughts that run through my head
Figments of my imagination 
Forcing me to loose my ambition 
Reality stinks sometimes 
Making living seem like a crime

Curses from forces yet to be seen
Frantic imaginations run full steam 
Life like fictitious em-bed-ded dreams
Make it seem like it’s all a scheme 

Follow me down this sickly dreaded path
Life is like that if you do the math
Cation is taken where danger seen
Where hidden dragons fight for the win

Where do you go when in a a hole
There’s no light to behold
Things look dark and deep
Dark dreaded life of a sheep
Who chose to graze where tigers sleep


Caution ⛔️ spoiler alert: Lyric Breakdown 

Here’s a detailed explanation of the lyrics in Swollen Beast Part 2 by Jah-Femi Telewa:


“Curses from forces yet to be seen”
The speaker feels attacked by intangible, unseen forces, suggesting external pressures or spiritual battles that they cannot fully comprehend or fight against.

“Frantic imaginations run full steam”
This portrays a restless and chaotic mind. The speaker’s thoughts spiral out of control, adding to their sense of helplessness.

The speaker views life as surreal, as though it’s a dream within a dream. This could symbolize detachment from reality or a struggle to distinguish truth from illusion.

“Make it seem like it’s all a scheme”
This line suggests a sense of betrayal or manipulation, as if life itself is a conspiracy designed to mislead or hurt the speaker.

“Follow me down this sickly dreaded path”
The speaker invites the listener to join them in understanding their dark mental journey, offering a glimpse into their inner struggles.

“Life is like that if you do the math”
This line implies that when one analyzes life deeply, they uncover its harsh and bitter truths, reinforcing the bleak perspective.

“Cation is taken where danger seen”
This reflects cautiousness and survival instincts. The speaker suggests that life forces you to tread carefully, especially when facing obvious dangers.

“Where hidden dragons fight for the win”
The “hidden dragons” symbolize unseen struggles, fears, or adversaries that battle for dominance in the speaker’s life. These could represent internal conflicts or external challenges.

“There’s no light to behold”
This line emphasizes hopelessness, with no light (hope or guidance) visible at the end of the tunnel.

“Things look dark and deep”
The imagery deepens the sense of despair, painting a picture of being engulfed in overwhelming negativity.

“Dark dreaded life of a sheep”
The sheep could symbolize conformity or passivity, suggesting the speaker feels powerless, living in fear and following a path dictated by others or by circumstance.

“Who chose to graze where tigers sleep”
This haunting metaphor conveys reckless decisions or circumstances where the speaker unknowingly puts themselves in harm’s way. It symbolizes vulnerability and danger in navigating life’s challenges.

Lyrics + meaning

The hard way

Ayeee

I got feelings that got ate for dinners = she disregards my feelings 
A cardboard breakfast cause she lacked the feelings = she gives me tasteless meals cause she doesn’t care about me
Crusing down main streets with some hoodlem fellas = she’s chilling with thugs
Turkish street gang with them sword umbrellas = violent thugs
Gangster how she walk, talk crawl with stilettos = she’s slick in the way she dresses and walks 
Don’t worry how she think she got them big letters= don’t worry about her intellect she’s uses big words 
Wet dripping look she like them crispy lettuce = she’s chilling look seductive the way she sweats looks as enticing as crispy lettuce 
Stay praying hoping that she won’t forget us = I’m still hoping she’s got love for me

Put sum in it stomp with it = put some effort in how you walk
I’m with it, luckily you’re in session = I’m on your side and you’re up for a seductive dance in front of me



ChatGPT Analysis: Now that I understand the street slang behind your lines, the piece takes on a much more nuanced and authentic feel. Let me re-analyze and re-rate it based on the deeper context you’ve provided.

Revised Analysis
	1.	Themes:
	•	Unrequited Love and Emotional Neglect: “Feelings that got ate for dinners” and “cardboard breakfast” capture a sense of being emotionally discarded, yet still yearning for connection.
	•	Street Life Vibes: Lines about “hoodlum fellas” and “Turkish street gang” set the scene of a gritty urban backdrop, emphasizing the harsh reality of her world.
	•	Admiration for Her Complexity: Despite her coldness and detached demeanor, you admire her style, intellect, and seductive nature, as shown in “gangster how she walk” and “wet dripping look.”
	•	Tough Love: “Hard grind love is your true confession” encapsulates the rawness of the relationship dynamic, where affection is expressed in a rugged, unapologetic way.
	2.	Imagery and Wordplay:
	•	Street-Rooted Authenticity: Your use of slang and metaphors, such as “sword umbrellas” (violent imagery) and “crispy lettuce” (a fresh and enticing look), paints a vivid picture.
	•	Contrast Between Emotion and Edge: The juxtaposition of love and street culture adds depth, making it more than just a surface-level description of a relationship.
	•	Commanding Presence: The phrases “put sum in it stomp with it” and “gangster how she walk” portray her as a commanding figure, while still hinting at her vulnerability.
	3.	Suggestions for Further Strength:
	•	Clarify Connections: Some transitions, like from “crispy lettuce” to “stay praying,” still feel slightly abrupt. Adding a line to bridge the emotional and visual layers could enhance the flow.
	•	Deepen Emotional Contrast: The tough love theme is strong—highlight how it affects you on a personal level to add emotional resonance.

Revised Rating

Now that I see the full depth of your piece, I’d rate it 8.5/10. The street slang and urban grit give it authenticity, and the raw emotion adds a layer of vulnerability. With minor tweaks to enhance the flow and explore the emotional tension further, it could hit a solid 9 or higher. This is a strong piece with a unique voice.

Hard grind love is your true confession = she like tough love

The Hard Way (short rap session SRS)

Rap Mission
A pot to piss in
This ain’t Rap it’s a mission
You dissing
When I talk you really should listen 

Murderers get publicised 
Studied, hailed and notarised
While you missed the scenes behind 
Hidden from noble eyes

I’ll make it clear
excuse me as I emphasise 
Unique craftsmen strategise
Lead millions with opened eyes

While you study legs
Wondering what’s between her thighs
All rise 
G.O.D. Breaths through me
Clearly Knowing where the battle lies
Lost in faith 
I see clearly through hidden lies

The devil’s lying
Red Prada dress is his disguise 
He burns like fire
It disgusts me
Can’t  stop me
Exposing the lair
 that
Leech blood from my hommies 
 Hell they never tired 😪

Phoney Fiction 

Verse 1: 
If I could write a rhyme for every verse I noted
I would be so inclined rap line that would quoted
The feelings get real due to mass appeal
A fully worded script to show em how I feel 
A rhyming phenomenon I show em skill
With lines so sublime I be dropping diamz 
As in diamonds since it’s such a treasured friend
Watch the curvy roads cause they surely do bend
Seek wisdom through this journey as the words do blend
Trying fix my style Im always on the mend
Sometimes it gets lonely and I need a friend 

Chorus :
Nah not drugs or alcohol addiction 
Cause this here life is real not some phoney fiction 
Tight watch on circles who u call your cuz
These nin-jas kill simply just because * 2

Verse 2: 
The crazy feelings that I get can give a buzz
Staring deep in to the clouds its just us
Or is there more to this so called life
Man hated wife so he caught life
Like Jack the Ripper stabbed her with a kitchen knife
Men I swear sometimes it feels so bad that I could cry
Seeing precious lives lost when they try
Making a better living off a drug supply 

Chorus 

Nah not drugs or alcohol addiction 
Cause this here life is real not some phoney fiction 
Tight watch on circles who u call your cuz
These nin-jas kill simply just because*2

Verse 3:
7 clucking fiends trying to get high 
Kids crossing over streets they pass by 
Witnessing all the trauma with they mamas
Shady futures as they end up in the same slammer
Confusion spreads due to lack of proper knowledge 
Things seen as cool are cruel to acknowledge 
To say no to such takes a heart of courage 
Goldilocks mentality just eat the porridge 

Chorus 

Nah not drugs or alcohol addiction 
Cause this here life is real not some phoney fiction 
Tight watch on circles who u call your cuz
These nin-jas kill simply just because *2
