Self Harm

ive been quiet to long i need to be vocal
need a magic telescope i can see hope thru
while i remain drug free and teetotal
a blade is sumthin i need to be close to

self harmin since bein a teenager
ill never let my dreams fade
people stare at my scarres like there lookin at there favourite screensaver
put my heart in every lyric on each page

i know its as bad as my moms drinkin and brothers drug taking
but when you go home you have a hug watin
i never expected no one to luv me
sumtimes i wish sumone would hug me

they say home is where the heart is
alone is where the dark is
if i had a better childhood would i be able to trust more openly
would i speak my mind without first puttin it in a book of poetry

would i push more hopfully
look for love more vocally
more ups and downs than a light switch
why should i be tight lipped

ive been searchin and not findin
workin and still climbin
i dont need an advocate
this is real talk call me the white fabolous

im cleanin out my closet
like my idol eminem
paintin a paicture u should screen it out and watch it
ill share my views before i give my pen 2 them

they will try and paint me as the bad guy
but aint seen the world thru my eyes
2 months after my dad died
my best friend commited suicide

6 months ago was the last time i self harmed
and it seems like a life time
instead of usin a blade i pick up a pen
and follow my dream of bein a rapper so i write rhymes

behind every dark cloud theres a silver linin
you have to have the will 2 find it
lifes short u need a passion or dream to fill the time in
2 get to the top it may take a while
be strong and dont let anyone break your smile

No Love Like Yours

beautiful a word that can describe you
i know i aint the only man to like you
make models look unatractive if they were to stand beside you
i fly away in my dreams and hope i land beside you

i never let someone see beneath my fitted
or inside my shades
i usually turn around 
and hide my face

but u have had an affect on me
i opened my heart to you
im use to the world rejectin me
hope this is sumthin u aint going to start to do

ive fallen for you
but your intrested in another guy
yet everytime we text
i still get butterflies

i been dreaming so long
ive forgot what a nightmare feels like
dreams caught up in reality
from dealing with real life

ill probably never have you
but i will continue to hiope
that one day 
i will get to hold you close

Dreams

u can do anything u set your mind 2
work hard and your dreams will find you
i use 2 sit in my room and watch one tree hill
picked up a pen and started to focus on my skill

haters stand over u like there giants
seein people fail to haters is  a triumph
so the weak are there right type of clients
findin dreams is like workin in science

u have to mix all diffrent kinds of chemicals
make sure your time is memorable
work hard but in your mind stay sensible
dont look for sunshine in december fall

no qualifacations or exams
dont make me less important than the next man
when right hand is tired i use my left hand
dont mean i aint a good rapper if i dont get a deal with def jam

im a star but i aint placed in the sky
dont make decisions on a shake of a dice
do as i please i pace my own life
i lace my own nikes

i fear the lowest lows
more than the highest heights
when im bleedin i wont let it show
ups and downs is just part of life

with no help i came thru hell breathin
and i cant see myself leavin
til i need help breathin
rap is more important than my dreams of michelle keegan

even if i fel broke
i still hope
me and my pad have grown real close
4get yesterdays pain and u will grow

write your own future,the past remains told
why go for silver if u can claim gold
now is my dream time know that
i will rap til the green line goes flat

roses are red
and voilets are blue
start your journey
u are the pilot for you

Beautiful

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL 
DONT LET ANYONE TELL YOU DIFFRENT
I GREW UP IN FOSTER CARE
AND THOUGHT IT WAS ME WHO FAILED THE SYSTEM

I CARED HOW PEOPLE PAINTED ME
DONT PAY ATTENTION YO HOW THEY PAINT YOU
THRU ALL THE BULL  DONT LET IT CHANGE YOU
YOU NEED TO REMAIN YOU

SUM PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO DIFFERENTIATE
THEY DONT KNOW WHAT I MEAN WHEN A SAY THE LIQOUR SENT ME STRAIGHT
PARENTS ALCAHOLICS SIS AND BRO DRUG ADDICTS IM SOBA AND DRUG FREE
ONE OF A KIND SO I FIT THE EMPTY SPACE

I WANNA BE SUCCESSFUL IM TRYIN MY BEST TO DRAKE IT
I KNOW I AINT THE BEST LYRICIST
SO MANY PEOPLE TOLD ME ID NEVER MAKE IT
I GREW TIRED OF HEARIN IT

IF I HAD A BETTER CHILDHOOD WOULD I FEEL MORE EARTH LIKE AND LESS ALIEN
DREAMS OF PERFORMING WITH EMINEM AND NAS IN THE BEST STADIUMS
HATERS CAN XHOKE ON MY NUTS
I AINT TALKIN MACADAMIAN

I KEEP RHYMIN
I KEEP SHININ
THEY TOOK THE MICK CUZ I SELF HARMED AND AM DYSLEXIX
I PUT MY 2 FINGERS UP BUT I AINT PEACE SIGN EM

Final Goodbye

this is my final goodbye
but i aint gonna cry
its my final goodbye
but i aint gonna cry

99 problems i should be renamed hova
i use tot think about u but u never came closer
you or mom couldnt remain soba
i write this cuz i need the pain over

i was always the first to blame myself
for all the hurt and pain i felt
few times wanted to kurt kobain myself
but all these words came to help

i guess im a bad guy
25th feb 07 my dad died
i find it hard to shed tears
i put pen to paper and make my pad cry

i often wonder if you were there for me
would things of been diffrent
would we of laughed and shared storys
or would i be a kid whos father aint missin

we cant always have what we want and need
all i wanted was my dad
is that so bad
am i allowed to admit im sad

does that give u to much ammo
because i rap people expect me to be rambo
i was on da edge of a cliff 
and you let my hand go

i remeber you and mom fightin
hopin it would stop
i was in the corner cryin
thinkin how much does a hug cost

age 3 i got took into care
got to see u 6 times a year
on contact u would turn up blind from beer
look in my eyes u wont find a tear

i dont wanna sound like im dissin you
ur my dad i cant rin from missin you
but u and mom brought so much hurt to me
and your death was the rebirth of me

2 months after you passed 
my best friend commited suicide
a yaer later my gf miscqarried my child
sumhow i still manage to carry a smile

Family Portrait

sittin in my room with posters of pac and em
i pick a pen up and is start writin
family wernt there but i think a lot of them
put on a front but my hearts cryin
i thank god that i have got my pen

we all need a buildin zone
imagine a young boy feelin alone
parents not there to hug me
moved from foster familys to childrens homes
not once have my parens said they luv me

love and hate dont know if i know the diffrence
family wernt there but i grow to miss em
feel unhappy at birthdays and low at christmas
made it this far tryna go the distance
i dont wanna blow the mission

family love is supose to be unconditional
they dont even call to say son im missin u
comes 2 girls cant find the one im stickin 2
2 many trust issues and insecurities
but my fam i cant run from missin you

your all like there goes him
he raps he shouldent compare those sins 
im gettin high on rap 
while my fam get high on heroin

Rip Rebecca In Peace

came to far to sink now
so often you are who i think about
i dont do drugs and didnt go the drink route
u know me pen to paper and pour my ink out

im not lookin for sympathy or empathy
but u were such a good friend to me
they dont understand what its done to me mentally
because they dont understand how much u meant to me

instead of pain i remember our laughter
u made me feel like i feel like i matterd
u didnt laugh of my dreams of bein a rapper
u told me i could be like my idol marshall mathers

today is four years since u passed
i find the strenghth to carry on
memories give me the strenght to laugh
ill go the distance life is a marathon

when the suns shining i see your smile
when it rains i feel your tears
as much as i wish and pray
i have to accept your no longer here

i struggle to find love
to many trust issues
i think about u daily
im man enough to say i just miss you

you were my best friend
and you still are
because you send me a light
when my road is dark

Writers Block

with writers block i feel like im locked in a curse
like im lookin at a clock that doesnt work
like a paramedic that cant stop all the hurt
then i sit and think whats it all worth

look at a bottle of vodka scared to touch it
my family are drinkin that strong
look to the sky like wheres the justice
aint none so i get pen and paper and put my thinkin cap on

i look at everythin ive had to go thru
friends are like alex we miss da old you
youve changed so much 
i aint changed i had to grow up

wise before my time
if u think ill hide in thge dark
you are wide of the mark
truth lies in my rhymes

look in my room and the lights are off
sittin wit pen and pad in height of what
when u rap u spend most ur time with writers block
tell me i wont make it i will fight it off

u can continue to hate
cuz i keep dreamin
and keep believin
so u cant stop me acheivin

Government of Embarresment

2pac said we need some changes
am i the only one hopin to change it
tryna leave a diffrent message to the one i came wit
when the government empty there brains quick
without puttin any thought into it
mixed rap and polotics the truth i brought into this

i kept it real
rappers may gat a advance on record deals
u may say we get paid to much
we work hard and make the effort still
why should we take a cut
when the government just make stuff up

talk bout the war that they plan to ban
thn they send more soldiers to afghanistan
so we continue to get threats from terrorists
soldiers shud get same pay as footballers and therapists
does the government understand the hurt we feel
when we turn on the news and see another thirty killed

now i understand how parents might fear 
made me sick baby ps mom only got five years
tryna make sure justice is done right here
losin is strictly off limits
feel like martin luther king i have a dream
but in mine pixie lotts in it

government of embarrasment call this my antididestablishmentarianism
when it comes to my assasanation u can stand by the accident bury me wiv em
weather i get stabbed down
and u blame it on me not havin my dad around
maybe ill get fifty shots
by a jealous dude over my rhymes bout pixie lott

maybe my heart fails
that wont be what the cards tell
couldnt leave my troubels behind me
parents wernt there to cuddle and mind me
growin up in care
love struggeld to find me

moved all over in da nation
had 2 overcome the discrimination
kids in care end up dead or in jail
they already put it in my head that ill fail
poloticians say they negotiate the truth
truth is they over hate the youth

we turn on da tv and see another thug killin
and see a rise in kids drug dealin
painis temporary
victorys forever
lets put the bull to one side
and make history together

Thank You

u told me to sing for the moment
u told me to lose myself
i say bring on the opponent
its my time to prove myself

haters can try and quiet me
but i wont go down quietly
im tryna build my dynasty
and thank u cuz ur the one who inspires me

social workers askin bout my fam
if i wanna be closer to them a gen
they never gave out a hand
so my walls coverd in posters of eminem

when you went away
left wonderin if u would be back
every day i thank god
that you relapsed

let them continue to show doubt
i dont fold out
i play my hand
cuz thats just the way i am
