Every other post the past few months has been travel writing. This is a more creative and experimental blog post, showing a unique side of myself and keeping it fun. Enjoy!
In second year university, nearly 10 years ago, I had a huge passion for writing raps and poems. This phase continued for many years until I got back from Australia maybe 5 years ago. Most of these are more from around the Australia time.
Romantic
Candle lit, we can do it glamorous
you know I cant resist
these tango dances
how romantic
how old fashioned
we take these getaway trips
continental weekends
putting back together the pieces,
and everybit we seized of it
how picture perfect, how rightly so
how unlike him, oh there he goes
romeo of radio
do I make seduction rap
every girl I ask say the loving that
Together too much
Night and day she’s with me
Hand in hand she’s with me
Hard times she’s with me
Getting lost she’s with me
And when I need space she’s with me
Dancing together she’s with me
Long nights she’s with me
Bed together she’s with me
Meeting parents she’s with me
Those days long ago
She’s with me
Now I hear someone else say
She’s with me
Byron Bay hostel poem
no car, im in another part of the world
its a rain storm, so were staying in the dorm
playing jay-z’s encore, and laying on the floor
weve all have our dreams,
and I wanna do so many things right now,
thats how we learn about our means
its not just about this its a lifestyle,
thats why its my team
and together we tryna compete
with guys who do this for a living
who raise their kids and succeed
now im writing when im with friends
with roommates, with family
ive had to give alittle bit of life
alittle bit every night
just a bit of it all
Museum
Business is hurting,
and lately people don’t have the time
in the museum
Day to day life
doesn’t compare to history
in the museum
In the city centre
come see life on the country side
in the museum
These colours were so bright back in the day
but the paints have faded
in the museum
Im running out of new art work
and things haven’t changed as of late
in the museum
and I don’t know if anyone will understand it
so I never hung it on the wall
in the museum
theres line ups everywhere else
what happened to true art
in the museum
todays the day
but no one came
in the museum
people want autographs
but don’t want paintings
in the museum
I’ve never felt so alive
those were the days
in the museum
so close and so far
with each impulse, I’m engulfed
I’m lost, I brought us here,
its my fault
but its so soft
ive made promises, ive made bad promises
im in over my head, its gonna follow us
its all gonna fall on us
but this is so fun
I haven’t introduced ya, but its the two of us
I haven’t owned up, I haven’t opened up
I can’t keep going,
hold me
We said last time, let’s give it one more try
Well make a claim, well say well change,
We can go all the way,
unless you want me to stay
Nice
Your there by my side
Holding my hand
Looking at that world outside
Look isn’t it so wide
Isn’t it so bright
Adams Rap
Trying to go slow
I got better luck going backwards
Alittle courtesy? Certainly
And people who could barely speak English
Spoke my language perfectly
Bad weather
And we still never sat for dinner
How come I come back in the winter
Well hold my seat for me
Those waisted nights made my story
An ordinary life turned right to glory
Keep going, yet no body seems to know him
Keep growing, I grew up to seize the moment
When I see it I’ll know it
It’s my life I know how it feels to hold it
And when frozen drops
Hit molten rock
I open up
Try to close me shut
I’m so alive I can feel inside
I’ve been rolling the dice my whole
And it’s hard to admit I escaped from home
And I’ll be back cause one day I’ll be gone
And its pay cheque to pay cheque for our day to day lives
Girl to girl, what a taste of the good life
Creationist, remaking this
Innovationist, retracing this
I don’t skim no surface
So hold your breath
Let’s go in depth
Light up the paper spaceships
We taking off from a basement
Now I cheated in geography so…
I ain’t the one to ask where I’m about to go
But everyone who called me brah now says bravo
Those were the days
I said once in a lifetime to many times for my age
Head in the clouds
I’ll come down when I turn the world
Upside down.
Reality
Ive been waking up to the same music
walking to that same bus stop
same food night and day
im picking up the pace
the knight while hes still young
22 and unsung
healthier then ever, my business circle, is my social circle
whirlwind kids, dont take shit
dont give a shit, 21st century zen
a generation to call home
whats it look like when its going right
blonde hair blue eyes, too many invites, less noons more midnights
a taste of the good life
I couldent understand when she had such a slight accent
Oh ya now I remember it was her anti depressants
those childhoods days were like grand theft auto living life in free mode,
middle class family I entered the world with cheat codes
instant reloads
so ive been drawing wrong conclusions, constantly sketching myself
the brushing it off afterwords, paint you this picture
heart-break
dear journal,
let me tell you about this girl
the day I loose faith in her she trusts me again
Ive lost it, im now either chasing or re-tracing
im spinning out
angry, and then begging she forgave me
my perfect who eats ,healthy so he can be mouthy
she wants to be in theatre and I dont even see her
but I see the beauty in her she cant see in the mirrors
she got her fears so innocent could practically put me to tears
I never knew foreigners could speak my language
Ill say it again
I never knew foreigners could speak my language
these words were for her, ask me if it hurts
even worse it burns, its burns even more then words
motivation
to me there is no other choice my only voice
its got me at holding point
my options there dropping I cant stay on stable ground
from laps to raps, to me im running on that same track
my hands are tied, the day I die I burn alive
saying it outright is never my favorite outlet
I dont express through my outfits
dancing I always looked out of it
all eyes are on me, and its me whos gotta face it
people awaiting on me unveiling my show case of creations shit
one more sales pitch ill be alex rodriguez..,jesus
couch surf any more ill be sponsored by billabong..god,
im being pushed around
the food I cant taste no more
the pay I cant wait no more
fuck a wage Ill wage a war,
ill turn the tides, this is animal instincts
pushed my existence to the brink of extinction,
how abnormally, ive become apart of the majority
authority over superiority, horny for glory
so now man to man we stand
one of us pulls through the other goes back
one climbs one collapse
I dont think yall grasp this, magnitude
with a pen and a pad I rewrote the rules
wilderness thats what the hell this is, wheres your willfulness
Freestyle/Tumblr of raps..
(This is just excerpts of one or two lines from different ones, all put together. Not flowing as a song, but just separate lines.)
between day light and late night
it slipped into night fall
its early autumn in late October…
sometimes I wonder what it like to be
global
cause Ive only been local
coming up from the coastal, and im nothing but soulful
and ill treat every track like its final lap
I dropped outa class cause all I did was doodle autographs
and I dunno whats the point of free speech if your too scared to speak
you can call me that rare breed/ that, over achieved
as a kid I had vivid dreams of becoming the voters choice
now im a man, growing up to be a poster boy,
started gaming play station, next im playing over the station
kid caesar ringleader, promoting his generation
showboating and kept saying I was taylor-made for entertaining
first place it feels amazing, I finally found my safe haven
and I keep refusing on taking breaks
right on time for me’s still around 15 minutes late
paper space ships
in my basement
make me so flirtatious
i just crave it
I want to make its an understatement
I never was patient
thats why I dropped education
lifting off to entertainment
writing till I collapse was my biggest aphrodisiac
I used to glance up at my poster it said justification for higher education
but I didnt even need the school, I just needed to be amazing
feel the pressure pressing compressing on your nerves
/feeling depressed
/leaning on your perfect mahogany wood cream desk
/feeling the defects
being low key, I unlocked so many doors
My sixth sense was always a sense of wonder
on halloween ill take the costumes off
were getting dirty in the shower
a kid with initiative and look what I did with it
host a focus group
predict on numbers I should hope to do, then overshoot
when I first got into it, before I ever put out a track
I would back to back practice laps, till I got more fast
I kept pouring more gas, writing out more raps
it goes so far back, thats one hell of a war path
thats why I feel, in my field I gotta reinvent the wheel
that authentic classic feel
gaining mass appeal
stop focusing on downsides, hoping for downtime
wishing tonight at the grocery store goes real slow
I wanan throw away these steal toes, plug on the ear phones
you dont need to be broncho
you can ease on the macho
this lyrical pill
was filled to the brim with the minimal
my hometown a gateway drug
half borderline, half born to shine
dont worry ill keep this personal, never let another person know
I promise
stand out among those who sit back,
under bet him get armaggaden
this is robbery
and you took away the most important part of me
all these people keep saying is they aint got the time
but their giving the exact same amount the greats had to find
she gets high whenever she gets low
Neat gin, Mixed emotions
Living in Free Fall
