bout time for another fire kev the poet rhyme….
fine… my solar plexus sunshine
1 time for the mind, 2 times for the soul,
3 times for the spirit, whose in control?
My higher self - captain of my ship
guardian angels ride wit, clappin my ish
spirit guides guide with synchronicity
n graffiti messages n the city
if you ain’t riding wit me… it’s a pity
we keepin it one love n litty two tick tick boom
like imploding stars,
we walk like we know we’re all stars
and like we know there are pyramids on mars
and like we dream of Atlantis’s flying cars
like Nikola Tesla I’m pickin the best a the best
of the blessed, if ya blessed… big up ya chest
_
Yes, Yes, Big ya chests up!
Calling our ancestors to bless us!
Yes, Yes, Big ya chests up!
Calling our ancestors to bless us!
Guidance. Guardian angel guidance.
For my brothers and sisters, my fam and all my mans!
Guidance. Guardian angel guidance.
For my brothers and sisters, my fam and all my mans!
_
Ridiculous, magnificent, and infinite. BUT sick of them
Lying in the news, most politicians, just get rid of them
But like our inner demons… I guess we gotta live with em.
When younger middle fingers not forgiveness I was giving em.
Like, Aww Kev, yer killing em, if only that were true.
Nah, Now I pity them… but think what they'd to do to you.
Turn the other cheek? …they might burn the other cheek, see
Trade deals with the devil countries learned to suffer weekly.
Mans just wanna go clubbing and de-stress, bless…
Mans don't wanna have to learn about the IMF.
But I am blessed… by my ancestors… and I guess
we’re guided by angels on our destiny quests, yes bless.
Big chests up especially when anxiety tests us,
No one’s ever left us, Calling ancestors to bless us!
My thanks… for Guardian angel guidance through wild lands…
For brothers and sisters, …my fam and all my mans!
_
Yes, Yes, Big ya chests up!
Calling our ancestors to bless us!
Yes, Yes, Big ya chests up!
Calling our ancestors to bless us!
Guidance. Guardian angel guidance.
For my brothers and sisters, my fam and all my mans!
Guidance. Guardian angel guidance.
For my brothers and sisters, my fam and all my mans!
Yes, Yes, Big ya chests up!
Calling our ancestors to bless us!

For all my brothers and sisters, my fam and all my mans!
Yes, Yes, Big ya chests up!

Remember - …if you can dream it you can do it.
You can do anyting, lucid dreaming living lucid.
Remember: ..if you can dream it you can do it.
You can do anyting, lucid dreaming living lucid.
Manifesting abundance helping others live the dream
Wishing happiness for all, …forgiving the schemes.
….I’ll meet you in the pub on the hill in the dream time….
….Or or in a purple pyramid in the dream time…
…I’ll meet you in the pub on the hill in the dream time.
Or in saloon bars on da planet Mars in the dream time.
…I ran through plush corridors in the dream time.
Through plush underground rooms with chandaliers in the dream time
…I ran from cops through the woods in the dream time.
I learned to fly in the dream time and on stage Greenwich Mean Time.
I turned back into a crow in the dream time. That’s weird but that’s hard though.
I’ve seen my alternate timelines, dimensions and bardos.
and bardos? That’s what the tibetans called dimensions
of dreaming and death and meditation on the breath n dats a lesson.
It’s a fractal every question’s answer multiplies your questions,
eventually just count your blessings especially if you can count on your bredrin
Remember - …if you can dream it you can do it.
You can do anyting, lucid dreaming living lucid.
Remember: ..if you can dream it you can do it.
You can do anyting, lucid dreaming living lucid.

KP Kev the Poet getting love for spreading ancient
wisdom… love is what he’s gettin n givin
KP Kev the Poet gettting ancient wisdom
for spreadin love, it’s what he’s gettin n givin. x1
Rainbow roooad. Take us home…
to da plaaaace… where we belonnnng..
Inner Peace. Leads to outter peace.
Inner Peace has us feeling strong. x1
Understand, overstand, know the land, hold my hand
hold the line, know the time like Flava Flav, I’m holdin mine,
like holdin aces, rollin with kings, …queens and jokers…
but with the wise ones not the drama magnets or provokers
I can and I will. What? Whatever. Dominate or chill
I jam and I build with the clever, nominate a willing
participant in co-creation, particle acceleration
hard to kill pure vibration… For love and money learning patience.
whether throwing shapes at the rave or getting healed with me on stage
these the types of vibes to leave the rainbow tribes amazed
whether sipping wine on your bed or sipping spring water instead…
these the types of lyrics gonna stick into your head!
whether sipping tea in your house or downing ciders on your couch
these the types of words to uplift and release your mind from doubt
you can do anything, walk any lands, mountain snow or desert sands
the meaning of your life is yours, destiny is in your hands.
Rainbow roooad. Take us home…

Always wanted to be an oldie son, like old Ben Kenobi / Obi Wan
Gandalf or Giles from Buffy,
Show respect to youth so they show me some.
Or Victor Meldrew... "I DON'T BELIIIEVE IT!"
Eternal youth spitting from thrones in Egypt.
Richter scales blow fuses when he spits.
if they ride my wave know just know they're sea sick.
I want integrity... like Joe Budden.
Bars with no fronting.
2Pac me against the world, pre-death row, wit no thuggin.
I'm not saying don't love them but I'm married to the game.
Most rapper's not boyfriend material.. and no husband.
No R Kelly but Beep beep, my phone's buzzin, it's a Talib Kweli
retweet, my bros sonning racists cos it's so troubling,
racist Twitter trolls? Low esteem, just seem to know nothing,
but I won't let them get me angry, they'd just love me to throw something.
I throw nothing... But shade.
Then send love cuz 'm so loving.
Nice couch, nice house, a far more than nice gal, so unless I'm booked to perform, probably won't go clubbing.
Unless she's coming and it's blessed like some good ol' dubbing.
More openness n less judgement, what do we get from judging?
Truth is self evident, but wise man know they know nothing.
Planet Hoth coldest front n ...the warmest hugs n
Memories of bredrin recovering from the... strongest drugs n
Gratitude for the nice now.
Hope for the future. Coconut sugar n spice, wow. Never stop asking why n how.
Like a Taoist master, ancient but so alive now, it makes sense, I like Tao,
Read the Tao teh Ching aged twelve but sometimes feel less wise now.

To be honest these days politics is something I'm bored with.
But if you have compassion... it's hard to ignore it.
We find people to war with instead of sit down to talk with
about how to heal this planet we all share. She's gorgeous.
Why not kids?....Profit....
But we all have the power together to stop it.
I love you all which means yes, even politicians. Ya got it?
(I hope this is the last time I have to speak on the topic...)
_
It's da banks and the politicians. Always BEEN banks and politicians,
(with oil and war industries on the same missions).
But there’s no separation between us and the banks and politicians,
…Most of us were born into this system.
_
The politicians justify with just lies to devise schemes for their teams
austerity measures, and wars on drugs n terror brings the cream,
with the media scaring into selling liberty, freedoms, dreams,
but we won't sell our souls to demons in suits - clean, pristine.
...they say they got no money. Always billions for war.
But none for welfare, or health care when millions need it more.
HA! Then they blame immigrants, it's awful kids all the more since
they also blame welfare. And people fall for it!
....They still believe the news. But who should we believe?
Even Independent media might deceive so people please
don't get obsessed like I did, or depressed like I did,
conspiracy documentaries n Clockwork Orange eyelids,
If you trust me then trust me, if you don't you can judge me
but we're all a little guilty... because most of us needed
banks and politicians before we could walk or talk,
with the oil and war industries funding it all.
_
It's da banks and the politicians. Always BEEN banks and politicians,

But there’s no separation between us and the banks and politicians,
…Most of us were born into this system.
_
That's why I dropped out of society before king, squatting and plotting
some said legend, but just a poor activist poet hip-hopping.
cos I couldn't justify paying into a system with the friction fundamentally opposed to capitalism and imperialism
But now I'm fundamentally opposed to nothing juxtaposed to one with the loving abundance of the universe!
If you trust me then trust me, if you don't you can judge me
but we're all a little guilty cos we only need loving.
Banks - reform.... Maybe Bitcoin?
Politicians - Ignore.... on that you can trust me
Just stop war... for resources..... by replacing the oil industry... with a Hemp Industry.
Why's it not kids? ...Profit...
But we all have the power together to stop it.
Why's it not kids? ...Profit but there's no them and us,
so let's get together to solve it and evolve it.

Lots of activists did more for me for less…
Recognition, getting stressed and depressed on the mission.
Some stayed on the front line of defence from politicians.
So don't cry for me, cry for the lost ones that went missing.
I was too woke too early, too young with grown man questions,
Didn't know spiritual blessings would come from painful lessons,
Don't cry for me, cry for yourself… because if you understand
<FAST> You must also be over thinking, over feeling like your from another land.
I used to crave empathy, …but can we ever get it?
We only know our own experience - but should we just forget it?
Accept it. Most just want to be accepted.
Afraid to be rejected. Most just want to be respected.
Steady getting older, losing time and losing friends,
Should I hate Society or try to make amends?
Is that being mature… or just a compromise with Babylon,
I Am Sovereign! I'm not a slave or cattle son.
I want my cape and coat tails to be the ones they're grabbing on. These days m more jaded, still a king riding a camel home.
My unborn kids can't eat honour or integrity.
And would they know or care that daddy was once legendary?
But kept it way too real …for mainstream success,
Hosted the wildest parties, some of the biggest and best,
From Bristol's biggest clubs, …to free party warehouse raves,
To introducing acts at Glastonbury Festivals Dance stage,
To poetry for Druids in sacred stone circles,
The Hip-Hop bard of a Druid Order still quietly holds purple
Amethyst crystals, but is less fond of crowds,
Being centre of attention, …or being loud,
Read the book of Revelations aged about 14... Nice?
Nah, might have ruined my life trying to get close to Christ.
Failed to live half as unselfishly for my sacrifice.
And still felt short-changed by the plans of men and mice.
Too young to be that obsessed… with afterlife….
So many questions for lady luck ..I might have asked her twice.
Anti-war activist trying to avert Armageddon
Cos I believed in radiation, not cos I believed in Heaven.
Climate change activist cos my grandkids would need clean air. Activism didn't pay. No one told me life was fair.
My grand kids need fresh air, but they'll need food and a roof too.
So I aim to stack more paper, but saving Earth will continue.
Morality’s its own reward, I was synchro mystically blessed.
But little thanks for little sacrifices, I got depressed and stressed. More shadow work, …still afraid of the dark,
More honest with myself and gold cracks in my heart. 52
We live our best lives by fire sides,
Sacred ceremonies have been seen by these eyes.
A poet... Cos who in their right mind wants a rapper who cries? 55
Just turn up the Skream n feel the bass of Blue Eyes. 56
As I drop to my knees and turn face to sky,
A kid who didn't want to live but doesn't want to die.
I was thinking about politics before double digits,
Each answer leads to more questions, …spirits or quantum physics?
Ashamed of my ego wanting the world to remember me for empathy.
Til sensitivity was depressing me, then he shut down, please stop telling me
People STILL believe politicians, as a grown ass adult? 63
But I've been mad at humanity for so long I can't sulk. 64
Chin up, chest out, cos I'm still the best out.
And when the Angels write these stories I won't be left out.
I listened to Ice Cube and Public Enemy too young for me to ever be a yes man, I'm blessed and I can't do the things they're telling me,
I can't buy what they're selling me, and won't let them get me vex...
Trust. Just wait til you see the moves I bust next.
I've done things that have never been done before
Like Druid Spells on dub riddims and breakbeats, n made the peace the won the war. 72
We've all done things that can never be done again.
Like been ourselves, so sing your song like it'll never be sung again.
We've all done things that can never be done again.
Like been ourselves, so sing your song like it'll never be sung again.
Immerse ya soul in luv.
Your soul in love.

Even though I sometimes experience anxiety or depression
I fully love and accept myself. And I question
If depression's a reflection of compassion and empathy
And anxiety of mission Impossible to please everybody. Then you see
Despite the fact that I'm not that rich or famous (yet) I fully love and respect myself. Aim to be shameless, yep,
Shame is fear of being ostracized, kicked out the cave by the tribe, ...but you've got to be yourself to attract peeps on your vibe....
I may not be a megastar but mission accomplished,
I'll never know how many I inspired... worldwide.
Content with respect... ive seen people cry
at poetry my soul had to write, sometimes didn't even have to try.
Crying at poems that seemed written synchronistically specifically
for that specific moment of inspiring lyrically
A friend told me one of my lyrics changed his life.
"Vulnerability is a strength." I'm saying this twice.
Vulnerability is a strength and repression or suppression
only leads to depression, so heal it with expression.
Even though I know ego, lust and anger and pride
Tend not to help but only add to a bumpy ride,
I still feel and sometimes indulge in negative emotions.
Even though I studied Buddha, Christ and the Tao with devotion
I still fully love, appreciate, am grateful for and accept
My negative emotions and maintain my self respect. It's not about over indulging in negativity, just not living in denial or in shame, let it be.
We can be hard as Pai Mei on ourselves sometimes on spiritual quests. Remember just like everyone else we're trying our best. Stop intellectualising sometimes, just for a moment... drop your shoulders and rest...
Vulnerability is strength... If a swim to da deep end better swim the length... I t'ink we need to find new positive jobs for da soldiers. Stop stressing... relax... drop your shoulders.
Vulnerability is strength... If you swim to the deep end better swim the length...

Lyrical End to end burners like Company Flow
…Painting a mural… like Lupe Fiasco
Words of wisdom like Lao Tzu with the Tao
Ancestor past, offspring future, Power of Now
The Secret Law of Attraction Tony Montana,
Time Fo Some Action Redman Afro headband bandana
Joshua led his people to cross the Jordan River
Iverson crossed Jordan too. Please shiver, knees quiver
to arrow, to bow… straight to the target.
…From my heart to your heart kid.

Rent and bills to pay, most of us know the story, but by the time I'm done you'll know epic glory, spoke truth to power in Stonehenge and crop circles rocking purple pixie hoods, cosmic jackanory. Unique, one of a kind like designer threads, or huge jeep limos, or unique like my dreds, rhyme technique above Top Secret, like the Secret Space Programme, I'm not even getting deep yet, deep like hollow earth theory, know too many admitted conspiracy facts to bother with a theory, lyrics water to the weary… desert dwellers… ….or hot water bottle in the frozen northern territory, Rebel alliance... had that burning buddha fire to rage against the machines of the evil empire.
Is he an anarchist? Nah, more like Taoist. Just another vibes coordinator. But now it's this -
Is he antifa… or black lives matter? Nah, an independent thinker and a damn fine rapper... ...times 23….. Nah I mean the time of writing was 23:23.
Is it heavenly to keep seeing eleven eleven? The philosopher in me asks 'what's it gotta do with Heaven?'
Nah, you can just ignore me, …cos we're all performing for the angels and I'm sure they adore me.
Ya blessed now... chin up, chest out.

Stream of consciousness...
VETERAN! Y’all know I flow better than
most world famous American
rappers, we all know fake stuff's winning, ...fake butts, fake men n.. fake breasts n fake women... I grew up in London where all races say wa gwan n bun dem with bredrin til the persee all gone, man hafe say me na often speak patois, I'm English but both parents are Caribbean, so I'm using seasonin, moms Montserratian, dad's Jamaican, ...but dude I'm seein some I suspect of Jah fakin. Nah, I dunno about Drake n I'm not thinking about it or contemplatin... so nah, I'm not hatin. Too romantic to be a pimp playa but their time ends, I'm a Magnanimous wingman with mighty fine friends.
Was looking for my queen, now that quests over, the rest over there you can have, but they're Goddesses, not left overs.
We're blessed Hovas 4 44 was grown man business,
conscious blends as Common Sense, Watchin men
and women over 40 and 50 headnoddin n skateboarding, Tony Hawkin, infinity scoring,
Meanwhile I'm rhyming in a fashion smashing any scene I rep in
truly you know I'm going to be the one you see
glowing on stage... glowing on road... Infectious positive vibes known to glow up the Globe
not like nuclear warfare but global consciousness expansion
and evolution KP's here to bring a contribution...
and new friend… you know that I'm loose n I'm also tight n
I'm on lightning... like Thor when I'm enlightening.
Nah, just I'm just vibin on Red Dwarf with Kriten. Politickin with Odin in Asgard, I'm a Titan.
(If you think I'm just hypin then think I;m just hypin.
Ask anyone how hot I am.... They’ll tell you I'm piping.
Get it? Piping hot or like a plumber laying the pipe in?)
Forget it. Respect to all. That’s not the vibe king.
Respect all mothers worldwide huh?
Respect the universal mother called Gaia.
Mother nature, Mother Earth, the place of all our births,
Learned from ancient spacemen to respect our mother's worth.

Dressed for a funeral, packed for a festival, his vibes quite a mystery... but that's kinda right up his street, suited and booted, head torch and vegetables... and super green powders to never fail a medical. More than professional, pro fresher Yes, Call me Professor Bless, mo self control leads to more decimals. From the Temple Valley to the Hill Top to Whistlers Green, reggae to Hip-hop - the wickedest team.
Listening to me while they crotchet in flip flops sitting in beams of sun rays or drip drop skinning dipping in streams, healing these kids opting for sipping on lean addicted to codeine, can't blame them if we don't know what they've seen
...or what they've been through under Babylon's regime
Timeless; ...like Marlon Brando, James Dean.
Timeless: like Goldie, Legend: like Marley's what I'm aiming for, more like Khaleesi's dragon - dey wish dey could tame me more.

Freelance conducter of cuddle puddle choreography, there's probably some guys out there who met their wives because of me.
I'm Merlin mixed with Arthur, the Wizard and the Legend-King.
I'm the final iceberg, the one that changes everything.
Deep roots, deeper down than branches go up,
Go nuts... on riddims sicker than throw up... Shine brighter than the star Sirius, I'm seriously feeling this, I look at you with eyes that meditate on bonfires blinkless... Maybe we need to feel more and think less...
...when I drink fresh spring water... I drink blessed...
Ya blessed now... chin up, chest out.
