Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
I didn't even see you coming but yet u want me to watch you leave
A room filled with silence, and the sound of broken dreams
I try to hide that my voice is shaking
My legs are weak and my heart is breaking
All this is is just a casual fling
2 years later look what's happening
Took me by surprise U came out of nowhere
Now U walk away and expect me not to care
Kept my walls up, Like a gated community
Never really knowing if u could be true to me
Never really trusting or fully letting u in
Kept it cool kept it fun never making a scene
But now the only way to keep me is if we do it discreetly
Cos u think u moved on just abit too swiftly
And now u start to realise how much u miss me
So u start coming over and trying to kiss me
But I ain't no garlic bread, no side order
I ain't some stolen moments lover
I'm the real deal I deserve full time
So of these sneaky plans of urs u better call time
Go back to ur wife, does she know ur single?
Ring in ur pocket and ur ready to mingle
U think ur so clever think ur so low key
But look in her eyes, does she look happy?!
Turning a blind eye to the mistakes ur making
Trying to stop her own heart from breaking
Doesn't want to expose that her legs are shaking
Carrying the weight of a soul that's aching
But with a baby on her hip that won't stop crying
She finds that womanly strength and just keeps on trying
Draws on a smile as she makes the breakfast
But Uve no time to talk, just off to work first
A faint peck on the cheek is all that u offer
Distracted by the thoughts of a secret lover
But let me tell u something about that womanly strength
It soon wakes up to not needing men
To not needing the bullshit the lies and the tears
To not pushing through for just a few more years
To not wearing that same smile when u come home late
Blocking her mind, she wont even speculate
And the parts of her life that u neglected
She's found the strength to get it corrected
So that bed u always relied u could lie in
Soon comes a day u won't dare to climb in
Won't try to squeeze in along side her confidence
Her power her strength her independence
If u pull back the cover there's nowhere for you
She refills the parts drained empty by u
So ur fired, redundant ur just not needed
And when that day comes u just won't believe it
But the Queen u thought would forever be true
Needs a king by her side not a joker like u
So no I won't meet u round the back of the pub
Neck ur pint and go home to the woman u love
Put ur time and effort into what's already urs
Instead of chasing around wanting more
And girls have respect for urselves and others
Don't sneak around like some undercover lovers
Don't do the dirty on the queens at home
One day it will be ur turn to be home alone
Say no to the sneaking the liars and the cheats
Say no to the back street one night beats
Say yes to the men who know how to keep their women
All day respect and all night loving
Who dedicate their lives to being true to u
Giving one 100 not 20% to 2
They know their women got a sparkle to their smile
And a bounce in their step which could last for miles

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
Wanted dead or alive
When I want u so bad I could have died inside
Died Inside my mind with out even noticing
Screaming at myself without hearing a note of it
Thoughts of u are running through my veins
Like a poison ivy strangling my brain
Every thought is consumed by u
Like my every breath is controlled by u
Wanted dead or alive the poster reads
It’s like it’s advertising my deepest needs
A few simple words summing up my submission
Forcing myself to this dark admission
A deep dark world and your the only vision
The light in my eyes, my reason for living

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
Ur an extension of myself, a literal blister,
It’s mad sometimes how much I’ve missed ya
You’ve walked in my footsteps for almost your whole life
Taught you how to be kinky as ever and still a great wife
I’ve taught u what uve got and how to use it
And also what you’ve not and how to abuse it
Your my skin Dee one where no concealer is required
A better version of myself younger and less tired
I’m a practice run, learning all the lessons so u don’t have to
But it goes both ways I no u got my back too
My world was empty when u was in prison
Like the most important part of my soul was missing
I’m your mother your sister best friend and dad
You’re my sunshine in the rain my smile when I’m sad
You hold the key that unlocks my insanity
And I tighten the chains that contains ur jealousy
I soften ur edges with a bit of humanity
There’s not a person in the world with our mentality!
The other half of me emotionally and spiritually
Your words are in my mind and I speak them literally
Your thoughts are in my head before u have them
So I’m already saying them by the time U say them
You’re the laughter in my belly the warmth in my heart
You’re the sparkle in my silly the treacle in my tart
You have enough outer confidence to serve the both of us
You’re loud and ur out there, I like less fuss
But the inner confidence I got us both covered
Enlightening ur soul when it was u that I mothered
I kept u under my wing until u were strong and brave
I tried to always make sure no one locked ur cage
An extension of me but completely ur own person
As I give u advice on the lessons I’ve been learning
I would go through anything to stop u going through it
And yes I would do anything if it meant u didn’t do it!
You still make mistakes and I learn from these too
When my world falls apart you’re the first I turn to
You don’t always make it better but u make it funny
You don’t always stop the rain but u make it sunny
You’re my lighting, my thunder but also my rainbow
When life’s frightening, we’re braver cos where u go i go

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
Punch the button dial 9 three times
“Hello This is the emergency line”
“Excuse me yes id like to report a crime”
For you see this man took something that was mine
He took my hope, my trust, my love my time
Confused me with fakery bull and lies
Counterfeit love right in front of my eyes
Guess he thought I’d never get wise
He always waited until it was after dark
When he knew he had fooled my heart
Creeping in, trespassing my property
Taking things that weren’t meant to be
Made me break promises I’d promised to keep,
That no man would cause me tears and lose me sleep
Should call him Spider-Man with the web he spun
His art of deception is second to none
Split personality and divided attention
He needs redemption redemption redemption
So can I have a crime number now Uve heard my statement
Need to phone my life insurance to claim that payment
If my life’s been ruined do you think they will pay out?
If I break it all down and lay it out
Put it into words and say it out
Bag it all up and weigh it out
Insured my life when my life was mapped out
Before u was exposed and before u tapped out
Untick the terms and conditions it wasn’t genuine cover
That diamond turned out to be cubic zirconia
Surely a complete lie must be insurable
Like cheating ways are practically incurable
And maybe I don’t know the law atall
And maybe I just look even more a fool
But how else will he be held accountable
When His part in my demise is undoubtable
He kidnapped my hope and murdered my dreams
Denied me my future ripped it apart at the seams
Left me only with broken pieces
What I thought was smooth was actually creases
If a judge won’t be the one to pass a sentence
And ur ears are deaf to my ten Cents
try to convince us it’s all rumours and nonsense
But u know what it is that’s on ur conscience
And when ur time comes ur world will crash down
When what goes around makes its way back around
And when it’s you being played and ur not the one that’s winning
When ur hearing words but you’re not sure of their meaning
When u can’t work out what’s real and what’s deceit
When u start to feel the first pains of defeat
And I hope when it comes it will hit u hard
The ultimate punishment for love fraud
Scam the scammer, fool the fool
Switch it up and change the rules

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
Heroin is like a poisonous snake, slithering along seeing what it can take,
Truth is it takes all that it can, off a neighbour, a friend, or even your nan
Heroins not fussy in who it will burn, and it never does seem to learn
It says sorry then does it some more, takes what it needs just to score
It takes your smile the sparkle in your eye, it takes the sunshine from your sky
It turns your blue sky into grey, it brings sorrow to every day
You think it's ok because it's made you numb, but what has it took from your sisters, your mum
It's taken money possessions diamonds and rings,
Anything of value - it takes these things
It leaves destruction in its wake, leaves sadness in what it does take
But it takes their smiles and sparkle too,
But most painfully- it takes you
Painfully written many years ago, it’s great to look back from a much better place as she continues her recovery

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
Beat quick This rhymes so sick, its needing nursing
Flow tight off the bat there’s no rehearsing
Challenge me to a battle? bruv I’m the first in,
U shook, I see u rattle from just one verse in
Keep the day job, and tighten up ur purse strings
If there’s cash to be won, it won’t be your wins!
When I leave here I’m taking one of ur tings,
Take her the full 12 rounds until the bell rings
Unless she can’t hold out and throws the towel in
And Ill move on to that friend she brings
U watch us leave and u just left imagining
Of who what why and what might’ve been
U wish the only time u spit is when ur battling
Choke on stage cant stop urself remembering
Nervous holding back instead of diving in
Going down wasting time, start babbling
U choked then too instead of swallowing
Never leading, on a lead always following
U paid in full but boy are u still owing
Think ur a big man ting but u still growing
Pay attention to this lesson that I’m showing
U better swallow it next time u poke ur nose in.

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
I cradle my stomach, not to keep it safe but to keep me safe from it
I can feel my womb swelling, smirking that it’s not gone yet
This guest was uninvited, but it’s settled itself at home
Explored every part of me before his presence was even known
It’s sat in quiet corners hatching a master plan
To gradually consume me, steal as much as it can,
He gets his life from draining mine
Trying to beat those who are saving mine
Handed a life sentence but what was the crime
A family all around me who are craving more time
My body tried to warn me I ignored every sign,
Although they say u need darkness if ur ever gonna shine
It’s growing inside of me, protected by my womb
Miracles and tragedy all conceived in one room
The part of me that gave me my most precious possessions
Where I grew and gave life to my two biggest blessings
Is the same part that’s going to take me from them
If I’m not still around will they know where they belong then?
I need to fight back I need to get strong for them
I need to do right so they won’t think I did wrong by them
I used all my strength and pushed with all my might
To bring them into this world and give them life
Now I use that strength to stand up and fight
I can’t bring them darkness when they bring me so much light

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
He’s trying to catch P like Diddy
But she still deny the Dee like did he?!
Don’t stop her checking up like would he?
Her minds messing up like could he?
His almost stepping up like should he?
But No he made that promise to be good see
But she still trying to pree, so slyly
So He plan every move so timely
And he be staying till morning no night creep
When he wake up he be praying. Living rightly
This time it’s for real it’s his time bee
He be out here working out what every sign mean
Why every corner of the block there’s a crime scene
And every morning light Brings a dying dream
He can’t work out what all the dying means
When even law abiding sons cant catch a win
No one seems to understand what’s happening
No answer to the questions just babbling
So we all left wondering what might have been
If different time. Different place different shade of skin
And maybe if the white of the moon was reflected
At night would we still be so suspected
But corruption of the land don’t frighten him
Ain’t getting held up by what might have been
Prays to a God he knows will enlighten him
Dry the tears of the girls who still cry for him
Enrich the lives of the guys who would die for him
The ones who have lived, ducked and dived did the time for him
Girls on the side, sharing time, still ride or die for him
Who see the good shining through in his life of sin
Despite the law being run by a lighter skin.
He knows he got the heart of a winner deep inside of him

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
The melody and harmony.
My Rhythm without the blues!
In all the songs in all the world this is still the one I’d choose!
And Sometimes the lyrics maybe words that we don’t mean, or maybe a note was just slightly of key,
but they still keep the rhythm to the beating of my heart, the one that they’ve been marching to from the very start.
They are the bridges to my versus, they bring a purpose to my song,
and I defy anyone who hears it not to sing along!

Amie-Lea Kuti-King Poem
I want to go back to the days when words meant nothing to me
I can’t mis hear words if no words are being said to me
I can’t inherit wisdom if nothing’s being left to me
I can’t protect my own if there’s literally nothing left of me
Close my eyes see a box, not Tiffany more coffiney!
Shutting myself away might be my one true destiny
Not only for my heart I need a box to fit the rest of me,
Throw away the key let me reside her peacefully
Shut myself from the world u guys won’t hear a peep from me
Erased from your minds you will forget me eventually
Buried underground forgotten about for centuries
Until one silly girl wants to know her family history
But little does she know she’s unearthing lots of misery
But she can’t turn back and leave it all where it’s meant to be
Buried deep inside hidden behind dark memories
Is a girl on her knees crying no but he’s not listening
Teachers at school think her bruising looks interesting
She sees the stares and she can hear the whispering
But no one seems to care and no one hears her whimpering
But there’s a part of her soul where the angers still simmering
And she discards her emotions behind her like she’s littering
Disguises dark thoughts with eyes that are glittering
Uses the emptiness Inside just to fit more liquor in
Drinks herself blind so she can’t see she’s missing him
Only talks to herself cos she knows she ain’t listening
Can’t pray to God cos there weren’t no christening
No protection stopping dark thoughts drifting in
A dark cloud forms but she can’t tell she’s soaked her skin
No umbrella up she can’t even tell it’s drizzling
It’s like the wet from the rain has become almost welcoming
And that the sun in her face ain’t blistering and sweltering
And yet despite it all she still don’t think she needs sheltering
