As a hobby I like to write song lyrics and film scripts.


Writing is a cathartic release for me and helps me transcend spiritually.


Anyway here are some of the rap/ spoken word lyrics I have written (or co-written).


Preview of three EP's to be released (Pre-studio/first draft cut) :




Assumptions lyrics

Assumptions – (J Cole type beat - Let the soul cry (extended))


I was thinking of a girl,

because you know, I’ve been missing her,

I dreamt of kissing her,

those words she said warmed me up,

but the assumptions were killing her,


moments came and moments went,

I tried to forget,

I gave you all my love and you took it,

made me repent,

I couldn’t rehearse, this is more than a play,

what led me astray, she played with my heart and turned me away,

straight to the dark and I couldn’t be saved.


Man her heart was so soft but she changed so much,

I would of given it all but I saw the bad side of luck,

I just wish I didn’t give up,

so much time,

that it felt like a crime,

cried tears of blood all for the word, love.


I saw the bad side of life, (pause)

trials and tribulations,

had my mind breaking,

stuck in her haven,

misbehaving like a tax haven.


I bottled it up, and gave myself a beating,

heart racing,

what I’m chasing ain’t what I’m achieving,

but still I’m breathing,

no one’s kneeling,

yet still I bow cos I know what deceit is.

Just respect what I’m feeling.


Hard luck, hard to duck natural love,

calmer than karma but the karma is real,

I package it, now try to swallow it down,

but it keeps coming back up,

like bad food that I never wanted to touch,

just hope that, you’re seeing it now.


I keep myself dignified

but it requires so much trust.

Building dreams but I’m...

busy dealing with frowns,

four hours sleep and I know it ain’t enough,

look what she made up.

Hella rough, smoke myself down the drain,

still I keep myself up,

I ask myself what was it all for,

wonder if one day I’ll wake up,


You’re so sharp, so impossible to touch,

skin soft that it gave me a rush,

the way you used to blush,

made me fall in love but…


If I could only channel it now,

I don’t really know how,

just gimme some time, I’ll give it some thought,

let it spring like the ocean,

trust my emotions to bring me out,

like a life boat full of magic potions,

would you take me mixed with devotion,

cause my soul’s still crying out

my soul’s still crying out.


I stay half broken to ride this out,

until I lose focus, but I’m dreaded with doubt,

I’m dreaded with doubt

I'm dreaded with doubt...


dreamt of kissing her,

still I’m missing her

but the assumptions were killing her

Now I’m siding with doubt.
