========

They love a manufactured world 
of panic and of risk
A world of fear and chaos, 
because it keeps the markets brisk. 
Fear and panic stops you seeing,
no time to run the gauntlet 
In a world of love and satisfaction 
all sales would surely plummet. 

Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!

So If you’re gonna Make a Lie, 
set the scene, complete it
You might as well go supersize 
and simply just repeat it
Eventually they’ll all believe
in every voting booth
‘Cos no one checks the facts no more,
then The Lie becomes The Truth 

Crawling dread, Fear and Panic
The forest blinded by the trees
Stuck on loop, repeat!, repeat!
Unable to discern it, see?
No apparent morality
Creeping new normality
No hope, no whys, no ifs, no buts
A lingering death by a thousand cuts
Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!

I break away like an angel I'm spreading,
Wings to the sky but it ain't heaven I'm heading, 
fly to the sun with an Icarus complex, 
homey never melt when I'm hitting it on flex, 
real deal cos this fire ain't mythical, 
laying out legends hell this game ain't difficult. 
winners taking chances we see it we risk it, 
others sit at home hear a knock and they missed it. 

Real talk can you walk the walk, 
keep on treading when the game says halt. 
we keep pushing let the world push back, 
lay em out flat when we hit new tracks. 
ME washing over me, you can change the world 
but you can't change G, see. 
we keeping it real for real sake, 
underestimation is a major mistake.

Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!

If that’s your final answer, 
you’re asking the wrong questions
We know the price of everything,
but value nothing, no exceptions
Since the dawn facade of it,
civilisation’s counterfeit
Founded by the peers on high,
perpetuated by the masses’ eye

Fear and Panic, Repeat! Repeat!

All Picassos of their fame,
massed fakery’s part of the game
Name one, then two, link three, see four 
idols dropping to the floor
Implicit in the games they play
compete to live another day
Shakespeare wept, we all cried,
the day the music lied

Crawling dread, Fear and Panic
The forest blinded by the trees
Stuck on loop, repeat! repeat!
Unable to discern it, see?
No apparent morality
Creeping new normality
No hope, no whys, no ifs, no buts
A lingering death by a thousand cuts

Fear and Panic
Repeat! Repeat!
Fear and Panic
No hope, whys, ifs, buts
A lingering death by a thousand cuts

Roll up roll up
The circus is in town
And the clown’s in charge...


Everywhere I go the streets are empty,
Rules they set we mean space a plenty,
Rules they've written, agenda hidden,
I don't buy, twice shy coz I've once been bitten,

Life's hard but lying is easy,
They deceive we, poor and needy,
Don't believe me, can't see the lies,
Go for a drive better clear your eyes.

Barnard can you see the castle,
Our liberty wrapped in a parcel.
Free to give or free to take,
The rules they write they're free to break.

For you and me it's a different story,
This is the fight we're in sight of glory.
Show your might, we've gotta all stand tall,
Alone you're a brick together we're a wall.

They can't take we won't surrender,
beware of the clown with a hidden agenda.
Step back gotta change our ways,
or this right here could be the end of days.


See the signs, change our ways.
this right here could be the end of days
Change our ways, see the signs, 
We’re heading for the end of times.

“Downing Street has again warned that failure to comply 
with the rules will result in fines or prison.
Further restrictions on freedom of movement 
are set to be brought in today. 
People have again taken to the streets in protest 
at what they feel is an infringement on their liberty.
We recommend that people do comply with these rules
These measures are to protect us all”


Now we're not residing, I find we're hiding,
Locked in our homes at least those abiding. 
world dividing our hopes subsiding,
Times like this I think it's worth reminding.

Fear is blinding but hope is binding,
together we're a force that was built for fighting,
built for righting the wrongs they're writing,
their lies a line and it's not time for biting.

It's a red pill blue pill situation,
We build a world of their creation,
Or instead we awaken from procrastination,
It's really not a choice its an obligation.

Fight now or regret tomorrow,
Times a gift that we merely borrow,
My sorrow cos I see the signs,
we're heading for the End of Times.


See the signs, change our ways.
this right here could be the end of days
Change our ways, see the signs, 
We’re heading for the end of times.

“Maintain social distancing, where possible.
These measures are to protect us all
On means on. Wear a face covering
over your mouth and nose, unless you are exempt.
Wash your hands and carry hand sanitiser 
with you at all times
We recommend that people do comply with these rules
These measures are to protect us all”


End of days, end of times 
End of days, end of times

My sorrow knows no bounds
It's embedded in the sounds
Of all my wishes crashing down around me
Haunting howl's of past surround me

Broken
I'm broken

By opportunities we took for granted, 
Never reaped the seeds we planted, 
All our hopes were wasted 
In a haze of weed that tasted

Smoother
But now I'm older 

I realise that time has passed me 
Music that will not out last me
Lingers in the void of silence
Flies its course without a pilot... 


So I'm violet,
Not bright but violet.
Calm like violet
I'm violet.
Misleading in my dullness,
Yes I'm violet, so violet,
I'm violet


Life is harder
So much harder than it used to be 
Age has not liberated me
It's closing in and chaining me

To habits
Bad bad habits

The sesh is not a party now
It's an obligation don't ask how 
We lost the fun but kept the drugs 
So fire up and take a lug 
Serve sense a notice of eviction 
Lost my smile embraced addiction

Colder
I’m colder

I've never felt this lost before
Forgotten things that once I saw 
The joy escaped, would not return
Never crossed a bridge I didn't burn 
The laughter stopped,
Replaced by silence...


So I'm violet,
Not bright but violet.
Calm like violet
I'm violet.
Misleading in my dullness,
Yes I'm violet, so violet.

Feel the rhythm we go’n give ‘em for the party mood.
We go’n move this, groove this,
Everyone approve this, do you feel this?
We the cracka’s coming with the Old Skool Realness
Hard flows on the microphone,
Real prose for the peeps at home, or the peeps, in clubs
Do you feel it, really? When we gonna feel love?

Mans on the left, let me see you crackas step
Mans on the right are we feeling aiight?
Peeps in the back let me see the mac attack,
While the peeps in the front, Let your feet stomp.
London Town, Lets burn this joint to the ground,
Will you be found? When The Game Come Around?
I’ll be down. No I’m never gonna choke,
Biggest chimney up in The Big Smoke.

Come Throw Your Hands Up
All my people, all my real people
Come Throw Your Hands Up
All my people, all my real people

Real People, hitting the floor, we got
Real People, I thought I told you before, we got
Real People, In my crew,
Make some moves, gonna move you too
Do you feel this? So real I’m flowing with the realest,
Hardcore keep the prose at fiercest

Real people keeping it real,
Still feel like we got some holes to fill
Still feel like we got some deals to deal
Still feel like we got some shows to bill
Crackas chatting, we not batting an eye
Bill a lickle bifter, we get high to fly.
We ain’t ride or die, you can’t survive a lie,
Spit truth let the hope arise.

We making music, we not making enemies,
This ain’t gangsta rap, we spittin’ bars for peace.
One luv to the mans on street,
If you feeling let me see it when we drop another beat.
Are you with us? Throw your hands up, stand up,
Stamp your funky feet if the rhythm get you mans stuck.
Come with us as the journey begin,
Now I stop, drop bars let the Chorus sing.

Come Throw Your Hands Up
All my people, all my real people
Come Throw Your Hands Up
All my people, all my real people

Real People, hitting the floor, we got
Real People, I thought I told you before, we got
Real People, In my crew,
Make some moves, gonna move you too
Do you feel this? So real I’m flowing with the realest,
Hardcore keep the prose at fiercest

Too high too low
Feel the party hitting overflow
Like yo let's go
High time, high time to roll

A'ight kick it, for my people hittin with it
We got the rhythm decision not to miss it
Comes from deep within and grows like Western Sin
Hit the floor like a snake we're slitherin'
Below radar like a stealth invisible
Tight formation my craka's indivisible
Our physical form is warning sign
You wanna hit mans up join the back of the line
We got not much time, hell we're basically busy
Eight days a week I'm feeling Ringo Dizzy
Never see us coming we're like shadow dwellers
Jumpin out and at 'em call me Peter Sellers
A'ight fellas, hold it down
Don't get me wrong we know you're diggin' the sound
But we ain't blud, we can still be tight
Just keep my name out of your mouth and everything be a'ight

Too high too low
Feel the party hitting overflow
Like yo let's go
High time, high time to roll
Lit it up you know let's go

Fan boys every time I hit the streets
Like a millipede I walk with a thousand feet
It's like my crew grow every time I drop flow
Every time I drop another rhythm there's more people that I know
They rollin' up upon me ask for my autograph
I sign that shit just playing and blinkin’ a photograpgh
They wanna hang out, they wanna get real messy
But don't you know I'm local esey
From the streets of the LDN
I'm smokin' backroll like an ODN
My craka G-Z says we're hittin' the streets
To get Mad Love for the sound of our beats
They sing those songs that we drop when we're high
Rhythmic Mystic c'mon and watch me fly
So I'ma hit the floor once more then you brothers gonna know
That when I go and drop it yo - even your Mother's at my show

 - oh my God I love this guy
 - I love his music, mm hmm

Too high too low
Feel the party hitting overflow
Like yo let's go
High time, high time to roll
Lit it up you know let's go

Here I go I'ma drop another flow
For the people with the rhythm and people in the know
We go - oh boy, keep things fresh
Soar through the sky like a military jet
And I'll be Top Gun, unsung hero of the masses
Drop as many verses as the Bible's got classes (Amen)
Man's got verbal diarrhea,
Can't stop chattin' sisters lend me an ear
As I spit mad bars 'cos I'm a mad bastard
I still keep going even tho I feel past it

Too high too low
Feel the party hitting overflow
Like yo let's go
High time, high time to roll
Lit it up you know let's go
Lit it up you know let's go

  - Borde el Mono...

We in the vibe now we hitting hard rhymes,
In time you’ll find we blowin’ up your mind
With the rhythm that we hitting now 
we spitting get your fingers clicking
Itchy women tricking, 
get you thinking that you’re tripping
I’m flipping now my mind is playing tricks 
Six six six, Yo my devil pick up sticks.
Real Sticky, green I’m picky
Light it up, smoke it up, let’s get busy

For the people working venue

We gotta hit hardcore catch your soul in the mix
Old dogs teach you pups new tricks.

Feel the beat, move your feet till the break of dawn

I got this rhythm, it’s  just sitting inside of me,
I’ve written the rhymes you see, I can’t sit silently.
And watch this game being torn apart,
By these no mark crackas chatting about all their yards.
Bruuuvvss I don’t even care where you’re from
I care about the lyric, structure, flow of your song.
Are you dropping are they nodding, 
clapping, rapping along,
Are the fingers snapping loafers tapping, 
cos cracka that’s what I’m on.
I’m gonna hit this, grab a pen and some paper,
I’m gonna get this message through, 
’cos bruvs I never taper.
I keep it clear from the start to the finish,
Old dogs got new tricks for this business

Do you feel me when I hit this rhythm
We’re like Hold Up (Hold Up)
We take the flow we never lose control
We never Slow Up (Slow Up)
We’re like Aye Oh (Aye Oh),

We’re like Aye Aye Oh (Aye Aye Oh)
We’re like Aye Aye Oh
You Know We’re never gonna…

New Tricks in the mix we gonna hit the flow
We Go’n Drive It Home
To the rhythm that we given we go’n lose control
Watch It Grow

So don’t Let It Go
Feel the beat, move your feet till the break of dawn

You do just what you want
With just who you feel
You know it's never real
(You know it's never real)
You do what you want with me
You're too scared to move
Now tell me –
What do you have to prove?

Whoah - my life is breaking
But I'm taking back control
   (I'm taking back control)
You'll never beat me down
I'm standing firmer now
   (‘Cos this is firmer ground)

Say you want me tell me that you need me
Break my heart walk away too easy
Girl when you played me you sprayed my heart
Like machine gun fire I was torn apart
I was ripped to shreds by the things you said
When you walked away you left me for dead
Now I'm standing grandly on my own
Cos guess what - I'm taking back control
I ain't scared to move 'cos I'm moving on
Rolling down the road and finding Babylon
Like a vagabond I'm gonna hit the streets
Find my home I'm gonna find some peace
My beliefs I'm on the road to relief
Heal my heart and rip apart belief
Start again I'm gonna find a friend
I'm gonna send you - all the love they lend

You say just what you need
Do what you like with time
without a reason
(We got no reason or rhyme)
You don't deny yourself
Always a means to an end
Too scared to turn the trend
(Too scared 'til the end)

Whoah - my heart is breaking
But you won't break me – no
   (I’m taking back control)
You'll never beat me down
‘Cos this right here is firmer ground
   (I’m standing firmer now)

Because I’m moving on
Like a vagabond
Find some peace
Rip apart belief

Whoah - my life is breaking
But I'm taking back control
   (I'm taking back control)
You'll never beat me down
I'm standing firmer now
   (‘Cos this is firmer ground)
Whoah - my heart is breaking
But you won't break me – no
   (I’m taking back control)
You'll never beat me down
‘Cos this right here is firmer ground
   (I’m standing firmer now)
