(X-Spence)
In these times that I know,
It’s all due to you
That I feel this true
This realness pulls these feelings through
(Rebecca)
Fighting fit and fighting strong
Your strength was there all along
The strength inside will keep you warm
And if you trip and if you fall
You don't have to worry at all
Cos' you know no matter what I'll be there
I've got stars in my eyes from watching you
The glimmer in your heart makes it all true
All the things they said about this small world
Wrapped up in the heart of this little girl
I've got stars in my eyes from watching you
The glimmer in your heart makes it all true
All the things they said about this small world
Wrapped up in the heart of this little girl
(X-Spence)
These feelings have peeled my eyes from ceiling
I can see it now
(From watching you)
No longer looking down
The world is once again round
(From watching you)
Stunned and amazed
You’re the light that ive craved
The parting in the storm that I've suffered and braved
You lit the fire where the flame had been starved
Saved from my demise over the path that I had paved
I wipe these crying eyes and break free from the disguise
Cos' I see no lies
(From watching you)
The pain just dies right before my very eyes
And it's all
(From watching you)
You’re the start of my heart’s beginning
A part of me that’s always winning
Grinning ear to ear
The fears don’t have me spinning anymore
Now I'm sure this is real, it's pure cos I can feel
The tears have dried and inside
(Rebecca)
I got stars in my eyes (x8)

(Chorus)
I really don’t know who
You think you are, you tool
Playing me for a fool
Now it’s your turn to get schooled (x2)
(Verse 1)
Check mate
Perplexed from this text rate
I dedicate this to those who try to emulate
Or implicate we equate on how we communicate
Or correlate in flows that you cannot demonstrate
I run a figure eight around you as you duplicate
Consider me a quicker winner
You’re a feather weight
Irate as you slated
Your facts are fabricated
So straighten your style
Or you’ll be humiliated
(Chorus)
I really don’t know who
You think you are, you tool
Playing me for a fool
Now it’s your turn to get schooled (x2)
(Verse 2)
A Stalemate?
By the look of your pale face
We’ve calculated that you’re facing
A taste that we create
You see mate
I rap with a free spate
Like rain that forces floods to form
That burst through the flood gate
Your stuck in a muddy hate
It’s such a bloody state to be in
Seeing green and being mean
Ain’t all its cracked up to be n’
I’m being real with these lyrics I feel
Deal with what you reveal
With you ambiguous spiel
(Chorus)
I really don’t know who
You think you are, you tool
Playing me for a fool
Now it’s your turn to get schooled (x4)

(Verse 1)
You can be a billionaire
And still be worthless
Live a life of despair
Whilst under the surface
Your riches come from the gratitude earned
Gives me stitches when I hear about the attitude learned
From these posy little punks with their swag while they brag
Stinking little skunks wagging their tails while the slag
Off others for the misfortune that they can’t help
These slimy little weasels are fortunate of a skelp
To teach them the value in what we really have
Not in money or materials, you wanna’ make me laugh?
Half the shit around is just a con to get you buying
Into pockets of the wealthy but the man this’ll get you crying
Trying to make ends meet aint a story all so sweet
But my heart keeps the rhythm like a timely kinda beat
So why’ll ur all down there flashing ur cash
Try giving this thing called empathy a bash
(Chorus)
Caught in a materialistic kinda life
Unrealistic so you better think twice tonight
Before seeing the pounds signs in your eyes
These paper notes are just the devil in disguise x 2
Rise above the digits you see in your banks
Its all but a ridged way of stealing the thanks
For the very few days we have on this earth
Hard to appreciate life when it’s been stolen from birth x 2
(Verse 2)
No worth in this paper, it can’t be ingested
What use is a note when there’s no one to jest with
I guess with success comes a feeling of isolation
Or maybe a fear of a tarnished reputation
With your pockets lined with the green that’s got you greedy
No time for the poor, unfortunate or needy
Speedy when it comes to taking it in
But nothing leaking out means that your wrapped up in sin
Doin’ anything to make or even keep the paper
Grab it all now, the giving can come later
It’s fate you think you’ve mastered
But hate creeps in a little bit faster
When you close your heart
And bring in the ker-ching
Thinking you’re the part
As you count while perching
On a throne made from bones
Picking up on dial tones
Thrown away like stones
Your life’s cashed in like loans
(Chorus)
Caught in a materialistic kinda life
Unrealistic so you better think twice tonight
Before seeing the pounds signs in your eyes
These paper notes are just the devil in disguise x 2
Rise above the digits you see in your banks
Its all but a ridged way of stealing the thanks
For the very few days we have on this earth
Hard to appreciate life when it’s been stolen from birth x 2

(Spoken Poetry)
Through the cycles of time, I find myself lost in an everlasting oblivion
Dormant lies the courage to break free
Although out of sight I can see no other way out of the masquerade we call life
As I struggle to grasp reality in its truest form
I watch upon society and it’s masked courage to stand for a better existence
Whilst we squabble over who has what, I can’t help but realise none of it really matters
The heart and mind speak two different languages
One literates it desires to be, while the other counters its passion
Smothering it like a burning flame
Blaming each other for our downfalls we pull one another to the ground
Not allowing the evolution of our wings to form
A mass of hysteria clouds over every one of us
Fogging our vision and denying us the light we truly seek
Whilst also creating demonic silhouettes in our vision of others
Patterns emerge and we defend ourselves with words and actions
What we see in each other is a reflection of the harm we impose on ourselves
Crisp and clear becomes the vision of evil
Submerging our desire to be free
And encasing us in an already built coffin that lays beneath our engraved stone
Which describes us as a past existence
As we resist death through the passages of time
We only find ourselves to become more fearful of it
Eventually it catches us all, sweeping us away into an unknown realm
We will never truly grasp the understanding of
(Rapped Verse)
Life is tough and life is hard
I’ve tried enough to play these cards
Dealt with jokers masquerading as king of hearts
So I ain’t playing
Laying hand on one another
Shuffling towards another bother
Digging with spades so very deep
For diamonds we can’t truly keep
The hands we’re dealt
Are demands that melt
When we let ourselves be as one
Division is only a form of sum
And some hearts can beat like a drum
Numbers printed on our cards
We’re hardly seen as human
But I find the hardest part
Is the darkness over us that’s always looming
