It's The Inglorious Poet
ThisisHipHopp yo
Big dreams
Are nightmares for naysayers
The play-safers
So go against the grain & they'll hate ya
From the days of Space Raiders
Hated the though of paid labour
Trading sacred time to chase paper
That ain't me son
I'm not a sellout
So rather than just get pounds
I'd rather get my head down
And figure out who I really am
Not what society says
Rather be dead, than life a life of regret
And course you'll make mistakes
But fortune favours the brave
So co-ordinate your pace
Force a way to change the course of fate
Ignore the hate
Don't ever let your flow be tourniquet'd
Pour blood, sweat, tears
And years before they're torn away
'Dream On
Like Aerosmith
Get your scheme on & never quit
Live with the passion of a terrorist
Better your chances
Like with a Sherpa up to Everest
Or left head in your hands
Cos without purpose champ you'll never live
I stay stoic
10 toes rooted to earth
People hate to hear the truth cos it hurts
I play poet
Conscious lines shifting the minds
You better wake up soon cos it's time
To seize the day
Dream big, take a leap of faith
Can shirk with the work
When you're trying to carve your piece of cake 'n
As these seasons change
You better wise up
No time for eyes wide shut
Rise up before time's done
My perspective has changed
Wrestled long with the shadow
Donned apparel
Chalked my hands and locked to grapple
And long we battled
Then when hands got chance to strangle
Got in an Ezekiel
Squeezed through & popped his apple
Unlocked the shackles
Shit, free now like Django
But 'I see now' like Kan-yo
That deep down I'm Rambo
I'm born to fight, but all I want is peace
Chill & immortalise my speech
But I stay cornered by the beast
Corruption
The conflict
The killing
The bombing
The lies they show our eyes
Guys the box nobody watch it
Divide & conquer
They wanting full control
Chips & social credit systems
Still nobody knows
Da-da, da-da, da-da
But I stay stoic
It's hopeless to mentally explode
When you can't control it
But just know if
We let this Eco Forum try guide the future
Pretty soon brah
Life will be like a night with Kruger
I stay stoic
10 toes rooted to earth
People hate to hear the truth cos it hurts
I play poet
Conscious lines shifting the minds
You better wake up soon cos it's time
To seize the day
Dream big, take a leap of faith
Can shirk with the work
When you're trying to carve your piece of cake 'n
As these seasons change
You better wise up
No time for eyes wide shut
Rise up before time's done
Rise up before time's done
You better rise before time's done
Rise up before time's done
And always fight for 'the light' son

Stay Stoic
