Finish This Album

My quiet observations on the bus city people lost trust

Maudleys out patients are shouting with the pavements

They looking rough can't get to grips so they end up looking worse than shit

Maybe if I can see who there talking too I might talk to them to so they can prove

The spirit never lies but before I get to try the clouds open up and let god cry

Why is this white lady nervous cause 3 black youths come on so she checking were her purse is

Make me feel nervous like they aint my country like they don't really want me

But mummy always love me I never had a daddy it was me and my mummy

Mummy was my daddy I can either cry or see it as funny

How you can have a child and then just leave

Now I'm walking around with my heart on my sleeve cause I'm effected anytime anybody leave

You can see my scars and hear my silent screams

I been reading books to analyse my dreams and to me it seems

The only chance we get to make sense of it is when we put our heads down a little bit

That's why I'm spittin it cause each one teach one and you can take it how you want don

CHORUS

Right now I got a lot of work to do

I gotta smooth out my edges

Eat more vedges

Listen to my elders

Vibe with my peers

Confront my fears and

Finish this album

Right now I got a lot of work to do

I gotta represent the youth

Speak more truth

Eat more fruit

Get wise with my years

Confront my fears and

Finish this album

But it seems I get side tracked it's like a mind trap I get a call real late bout were the foods at

Cause certain man a certain place got certain food to taste so my Nikes are laced

And I was never really one to stay awake through a working day for them little bit pay yo

This nine to five is just killing me slowly but quitting is for quitters so I wait until they fire me

But now no one will hire me cause I got more lies in my CV than a pro's had STD's

When will they see I was born to reign entrapment is my pain I need to feel alive again

I need a man that compliments my stride ovastand I'm this way until I die

Has ambitions of his own so ovastand i don't wanna be alone I just need a little time in my zone

This one goes out to my shotters in the alleys were all brothers and sisters were all family

All my sisters trying to raise there babies all the youth man with court cases crazy

It's like the smarter you are the bigger your worries stupid people are lucky trust me

This one goes out to my people with ambition I'm still learning I'm still trying but for now

Honesty is courage and since I got the heart of a lion then there's no sense in lying

I portray my life over violins no matter what it brings least I'm being real

When I look at my future I fear failure I fear the fact that you might not like me

I know I'm skilled but just maybe slightly what if my light don't shine so brightly

I'm scared of that I'm telling you the truth I'm scared of that

What if the doctor said you couldn't have children

What if the system they tried to topple what I'm billing better living for all my ghetto children

And I don't mean were you live I mean your state of mind

Cause ghettos not just a place ghetto is a vibe

And I don't need no boastie words or complicated flows

If I know what I gotta do then I flow

But sometimes I get tired sometimes I lose faith I guess that's the reason that we got to church

Cause when you at the bottom of the barrel it hurts need something to believe in and God works You think spiritual is just hocus pocus what you really saying is you have not noticed

Inside us all is a silent protest you can acknowledge or ignore but me.
