Inspired by Bobby McFerrin, MC Xander, and Graeme Smith (of The Mandibles and Count Bobo) all the sounds in this were recorded from my voice.
lyrics
I Love Being Me!
(Intro:)
synchro-flow radar going "beep beep beep" like a mofo...
(CHORUS:)
EVERYBODYYYYY
SING ALONG WITH MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
NOBODY COULD BEEEEE
AS GOOD AS MEEEEE
AT BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEEE!
I'M THE BEST THERE COULD BEEEEE
AT BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
NOBODY COULD BEEEEE
AS GOOD AS MEEEEE
AT BEING MEEEEE!
We're frickin awesome, aren't we?
(Verse 1:)
I step to the stage like the Hulk, grab the mic like the Hammer of Thor,
Spit love bombs like a love grenade-launcher mid-war.
When I'm done with it? Peaceful bliss planting seeds deep in the Earth's core.
Havin fun with it. Sick with this. Work flawlessly with words? Sure.
Junglist lyricist, dub poet, but kept Hip-Hop pure
Like spring water under Glastonbury Tor.
Murk your mic, 'brap' for the raw... rhyme, words are tightly wrapped round the raw
riddim like a bandage from the damage ya catch from me, or
...The damage my hands-off healin' is dealin' wit'.
My rhymes are like a massage while buzzin - I know you'll be feelin it.
Every day you pass a crackhead... and someone else dealin' it.
Information spreads faster, the truth is revealing itself.
Governments are concerned with keeping the wealth. Taking liberties
With stealth... stating the obvious helps.
An instrumental stops me going mental, peaceful as I leaf through
The Will Self on your bookshelf... knowing I look well.
(CHORUS:)
EVERYBODYYYYY
SING ALONG WITH MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
NOBODY COULD BEEEEE
AS GOOD AS MEEEEE
AT BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEEE!
I'M THE BEST THERE COULD BEEEEE
AT BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
I LOVE BEING MEEEEE!
NOBODY COULD BEEEEE
AS GOOD AS MEEEEE
AT BEING MEEEEE!
We're frickin awesome, aren't we?
(Verse 2:)
I don't HAVE to do it double time, yes, not in trouble, my quest
is "a consciousness evolution time" flex!
Don't get in a muddle i'm best, two gal in a cuddle, my sex is
awe inspiring yes, B-Boys? My wildstyles wild-est!
Stars go super nova at the zero point and i'm next,
with the Indigo Militia bigging up my chest/
singing 'Gone til November', we'll be gone til november...
adding harmonies while singing over Wyclef.
We were born to win with love bredrin, My tribes blessed. Why test? /
Rainbow warriors use only the force of peace /
so of course you cease and desist your foolishness /
when within the circle of our electromagnetic force fields/
of course fields of hemp are... on the agenda...
and in the blender... and in the ember./
I'm the befriender, Beyonder, Asgardian-angel,/
street corner poet who was homeless with worldwide respect!/
for rocking youtube, writing blogs, nerding it up,/
...and SMASHING it on stage at international festivals! /
I roll like i'm sat on... a graffed up tanks cannon/
with a soundsystem strapped to the side of it, best of all? /
Roof garden on the tank with a patch full of vegetables /
cannon still armed with shells of hemp seed bombs /
to finish what the soundsystem already started on /
babylons... steadily falling... walls of jericho /
accept it, MOST people're horny... now let it go,/
most remain unwritten... yet we respect the codes /
A stylish eye patch monacle out of broken spectacles,
transcend guilt with self forgiveness when you love yourself it goes. /
...Stop shanking... Start skankin... '
Walk like a Champion' like Buju Banton,
on a long ting? den I'm blankin.

(Outro - Dedication)
to all my people walking your paths, spreading your light and being yourselves regardless of praise, acceptance or social conventions - I salute you. Sometimes just being honest and authentic while surrounded by bullshit is the hardest thing to do, but we find each other eventually, we recognise that authenticity and we empower each other. Feeling fully grateful for the people that have encouraged me simply to be myself, there are more of you in my life now than ever before. I'm so lucky to have the friends I have. May you all feel the appreciation that we all deserve x
