lyrics

STILL STANDING

What's more than a rapper? A real MC.
What's more than an MC? A dedicated poet.

what's more than a poet? I've been working on my flow, get it?
Did it for love and respect now add cash and i'm a go get it

with dope lyrics and no gimmicks, ayo is it too much?
Nope, the universe held me back til Earth could cope with it!

Now MCs want chats with me on chakras and conspiracy facts cos
I was milleniums ahead of them twats...

that still ain't said a thing when they're done spitting their raps.
Got a millionaire heiress saying "Kevin's a catch"!

And that's... before I even get in the 'Snatch'. Lock, Stock' -
respect the Goddess, no man could cock block!

Lock, Stock and two smoking reefers.
Full-court shot block. Two smoking speakers

left behind a blessed rhyme, representing humanity
for interdimensionals I send love on the fattest beat!

No rap sheet, not a crook, or career criminal.
So I must have my rap book if I claim to pack heat!

I say "better be ready to believe in miracles!"
Heavenly, aesthetically pleasing syllables!

Prophecies came true, now are you part of the problem
of perceiving problems or participant in the art of evolving?

(FAST!)Follow your heart to your calling, follow your calling and what your heart's truly wanting
manifests like sunlight in the darkness of autumn! UGH!

BRIDGE:
"respect mother Earth"*
aspire to inspire
that's not an order, it's just a suggestion.
It's all just a perception.

CHORUS:
I'll be standing on the rubble looking untroubled
still chanting down babylons rubble into dust, trust

I'm enjoying it too, always time for a cuddle
beg the wind to spread my love with every gust

VERSE 2:
Unfathomable, spitting real words in a chasm of bull
Was hitting real herbs in a massive bong full - back in the day

(FAST!) Twenty quid cash for an 8th of green, that was the way, that's when my mates
in London were stashing the yay, before my Bristol mates were stashing the K

Now dats my mates looking for properties, with a mortgage see,
Or squatting free, properly confusing magistrates with common law. Free

man / free-man on common land, gotta know your stuff and step with confidence,
we ARE sovereign... that should have been common sense.

I got lyrical content and more than competent flow.
Common sense eventually shows who really represents though heart already knows.

Blessed and it shows, influenced by the greatest, blessed by wisdom
of the ancients, conditioning of the west I used to hate it

but learned patience... with best of both worlds, old and new,
learned patience just by chasing those girls. Oh he knew

he was only seeking the one, soulmate, together we're only one,
I not waiting in vain for her love, I had to know she'd come/cum (gettit?)

I speak perfection into existence like Taoist immortals known to be young
til he explodes into rainbows to grow with the sun.

I've read over some wonderful theological thesis'
to inspire some stunning cool philosophical pieces

More Hip-hop than a headspin to a Doug E Fresh Beatbox
to Grandmaster Flash scratching breaks in graffiti stained frickin

dungarees so just beieve you can just leave me
sitting under trees spitting love to please me!

BRIDGE
"respect mother Earth"*

still chanting down babylons rubble into dust, trust

I'm enjoying it too, always time for a cuddle

*"respect mother Earth" is a quote from Afrika Bambaata of the Soulsonic force and the Zulu Nation, taken from an interview in the extras for the DvD of the turntablism film 'Scratch'. Checkthe film and check the extras.
