All my life 1977 to start this story, I was surely Marked for glory, saw the path before me Midwife Barbara Morley Announces a boy 8 lbs. 6 oz., christened by father Crawley This was before the councillors Before I walked around the town pissed and fought with bouncers I was just a baby, maybe a crazy Look in the eye, a child of the 80s Stepdad was a drunk that beat up women Mum madly loved him and unhappy upbringing There’s been some sights more horror van Vincent Price Glimpsed through an infants eyes But I keep the worse things inside Aint cried since I was a child My instincts to survive So with these insights the bad things in my life The drinks and the fights, my innocence dies! Oh the pain… Chorus Of my life, yeah aint nothing changed it's been the same All my life, yeah ain't it such a shame? It's been the same All my life, yeah aint nothing changed it's been the same All my life, yeah ain’t it such a shame? It's been the same Rukas does mad tablets he knocks back handfuls Probably into black magic lighting black candles Some of that Gambles watches mad channels Smokes crack granules drinks Jack Daniels Rukas it needs to be said today You’re like an impressionable kid is easily led astray Overdosed that fast, comatose at bars Wait! Yo are those track marks? Yeah I used to inject drugs just like a vet does And maybe I begged staff and maybe I slept rough Alongside bedbugs and didn't expect much Nothing but head fucks! Yo but did a load of praying no one came like Kurt Cobain's Last moment of fame, yo I'm the same Open a vain get over the pain cocaine in control of the brain! Oh the shame… Came from a bad background joined the background but somehow, got to the point where I am at now From grabbing your gold lockets and blanking the dole office Too rapping with no profits, so jobless! A lot of critics and none are impressed How I felt? A forgotten lyricist under the stress Now I am yelling a lot and sick of this son I’m depressed How the hell am I not considered as one of the best? Clever thoughts never pause but what will make the effort for When my metaphors never get applause? But whatever the fact is A lot of what I say is way over the head of the average Still I rise, kill the mics, fuck I'd be ill advised To give it up, I ain't vanilla ice! Your wits strange hoping for fame, They don't know my name, my soul is drained! Oh this game…

Things will never be the same Boys I never fail ya, we’ve had showgirls to blind us Left a trail of, trashed hotels behind us Everyone we have been in, look out it’s that dummy from England The company ringing and I did it for money and woman A honey from Finland in front of me singing Thinks she’s getting on my track? That’s a funny opinion! How much rum is she drinking? What the fuck is she thinking? But in my head I humour her thinking, “Rukas keep grinning” Isn’t love a sweet thing? I’m running up the street singing Like fuck am I, c’mon brothers keep pimping! Keep these women in check from the beginning and get… Your every fantasy fulfilled everything in ya head Once she’s been in ya bed tell her no more Ya so bored show her the door Dried up old whore No they’ll be no tour, oh lord I’m so sure And feminists? I’m breaking no law! Don’t wanna talk no more, No! Things will never be the same! My lyrics are heaven taught So I never give the critics a second thought They don’t know how I did this I bled and fought Survival of the fittest the seventh law Running out of tickets eleventh tour Coming out to witness my legend soars This mad kid giving death to lords With that swiftness and extra force Rich magnificent metaphors Bitch slap bitches and get applause And any Yankee little prick disrespect my cause Ditch that shit disconnect your thoughts Those on my hit list are heading north Begging for my forgiveness and getting war No gimmicks for the British respect him more! Yo! Things will never be the same! Fuck this I wanna make it man “Isn’t Rukas a complicated man? You don’t need to be so technical You could use one syllable still sound incredible” Wanna make the hits I ring Mr Vinyl From the state of Michigan it’s the final I need one beat percussion and style 313 productions and Kyle… Man I gotta know How on earth can we git clear? Damn I gotta whole album worth of ya shit here Lost ya faith in rap I’m sorry to hear it Coz ya blazing tracks embody the spirit Sound sick killer flows running this Searched the whole of SoundClick and this beat still the most funkiest Still you know where the money is! Oh! Things will never be the same! Chorus Who thinks they’re getting me to change? Yeah some things will never be the same Things will never be the same Last sub chorus I mean c’mon, look at them Forever wanna, make me change Don’t you know, your never gonna Never gonna, make me change Thundering over the track I’m a villain One for the road and the travelling pilgrim Run let’em know that I’m back in the building Some things will never be the same

VERSE 1 Call me jimmy the midget big name in the neighbourhood A problem jimmy’ a fix it sick game and I play for good I like to slow it a little bit down so you can catch up Smooth rap stuff, I’ve proven that bruv My parents were the type who didn’t have much Now they look at me like “you bring bad luck” Dad got hit by a moving Mack truck Mums struck by lightening ooh and that’s rough My grans live and she likes doing mad stuff Eighty-five, she died shooting smack up The day after she met me, it’s hard to forget me A midget I don’t let laughter affect me CHORUS All thru my life I never had much But curiosity I think you should Just listen to me Nothing from nothing Leaves nothing And I’m not wealthy Believe you me! VERSE 2 The school minger Barbara trapped me in Arthur’s hall Grabbed me by the wrists told me I’d just pulled Now the only downside is that Barbara’s bald Yet still gave head lice to half the school To kiss me she had to put me on a barbers stool She forced me to kiss her don’t laugh its cruel My fathers a midget so its fathers fault When I was 10 my brother Paul was 3 and I was small He walked round the room me? I just crawled I used to lay awake wising I was smart as Paul Mum and dad sent Paul to a marvellous school And left me to sell carpets on the market stall CHORUS All thru my life I never had much But curiosity I think you should Just listen to me Nothing from nothing Leaves nothing And I’m not wealthy Believe you me! VERSE 3 So I’m at the bar right? Like a barfly So drunk I can’t light my cigar right Looked up there’s a dame at the bar right By the jukebox playing “aint it a hard life?” Walked up gave a name and I laughed right Said I’m in entertainment and ah write Songs when I’m not playing the guitar like I’m not bragging nah I’m just saying I’m a star right? Came in from the rain on a dark night Looking like she’s in pain and my heart cried Then she started complaining her pa died I said a guess a quick fumble aint in the cards right? CHORUS All thru my life I never had much But curiosity I think you should Just listen to me Nothing from nothing Leaves nothing And I’m not wealthy Believe you me!

I get up Things have begun to get better, everyone in it together Aint that mad?

I’m surprised I’m still breathing fuck Me I’ve such pride I’ve achieved enough Guys I was sleeping rough, Thieving stuff got a flat five; years got me a touch, And fuck the crack I don’t even puff I leave the skunkweed for mugs I don’t need the stuff, I’ve beaten drugs fuck bleeding love Never believed in love till I met Cristina plus I need her love so I promised to never to treat her rough Together we are tough, and I’ll never see the sluts I used to meet at clubs I aint a cheater bruv Does it feel sweet enough? I believe it does Sweeter than a fleet of doves eternity to dust And since I beat the Hepatitis C? Yo! I never cry to sleep Heck this life is sweet, so I sing a little song! CHORUS What more can I say? Feeling so great A okay another sunny day In May, and everything is going our way I sing a little song!

That she hadnt stolen it & where the fuck did ya go who was you rolling wid?/ Now my 5 yr old nephew will be a lonely kid & ya cant take that back / When I was dressed in black you were depressed on crack After the funeral i had to stay at Maxines flat/ Ya should’a been there when I was in a mess & trapped CHORUS Wont let you down/ ya say that now but ya never in town I'll be around VERSE 2 - RUKAS Now youve no reason 2 give kisses & applause to me/ But ya can at least listen this is 4 Julie The seaon of wisdom thoughts move me/ Guess who they just released from prison? yours truly I witnessed the sad scenes a dusty hot trail/ My jacket was green, at the bus stop pale black jeans, Just got bail that means/ I must not fail, no more mad schemes No drug cocktails, no more crack fiends/ Im sorry, when doug shot gail? I was at deans So high, felt I could touch gods grail, And you were at maxines having bad dreams Fighting back screams/ The buzz got stale shoulda had ya back like tag teams I mean i shoulda been at yours/ sShe was ya source of comfort I shoulda been that source yYa felt stressed & i werent round/ But i got help yes im learnin now 12 steps what a turnabout Well dressed and earning now/ Thinking of myself less/ and rolling back into town!

MAKE BELIEVE Intro by Heartsong Verse 2 by Tasha Hollywood - Deceased RIP CHORUS In the land of make believe You are all mine In the land of make believe I'm doing fine VERSE 1 - RUKAS Shouldn’t have took this trip man three strawberries Mixed with four or three E’s extraordinary Open eyes and find myself in a place of wonder No trace of thunder, slow days of summer Saw Jack in the green Herne the hunter The may king lord of forests herald of eternal summer Psychedelic I don’t try to fight the telekinetic Abilities that I’ve developed Nothing but stars above and a vast southern marsh A flutter in the grass, a smothered gasp, blood on the path A sudden start someone laughs sounds like a hundred larks The humming of harps, the strumming of guitars Looked to the sun and I asked where am I? He said, “Understand you’ve travelled on… To the sunlit lands of Avalon… where the mad belong And you, won’t be back again won’t be back again!” CHORUS In the land of make believe You are all mine In the land of make believe I'm doing fine VERSE 2 - TASHA HOLLYWOOD I couldn’t believe what I saw with mye eyes/ Coz I had only dropped a quarter of California sunrise my friend turned on me with a big gold gun/ she said dont move I just had 2 run All I saw was despise when I met her red eyes/ stars & stripes on her face where is this place? I really had a fright running around the site/ she caught up with me and said dont leave me tonight I had to pull myself up I gazed at the night sun/ I had to tell myself remind this was fun/ I passed a dinosaur house dey were looking at me/ but dey were cute cartoons so dey werent hungry and then there were spiders spiders crawling everywhere/ spiders crawling on me dropping outa my hair Then I saw him stood, stood in the grim light/ even darth vader was out tonight! CHORUS In the land of make believe You are all mine In the land of make believe I'm doing fine VERSE 3 - RUKAS Ordered the drinks walked with the nymphs Talked to the kings daughter of things morbid I since Taught her 2 lynch and torture the prince forfeit her wings The author of sins, lord of the rings, detour to the grim Sweet talker that sings a song before it begins Sleep walker that limps, in deep water I rinse My reflection away yes I’m afraid the lesson for may? Flesh only gets in the way been here less than a day My rime is just random sorry your highness I’m rambling Oh did I miss the landing? “Goodbye Mr Brannan” Time is just standing still and I’m just a phantom Filled with divine understanding as my mind is expanding Humming the tune of birds becoming attuned to earth Howling, like I’m under a lunar curse The sun and the moon converge I’m one with the universe And I, won’t be back again won’t be back again! CHORUS In the land of make believe You are all mine In the land of make believe I'm doing fine

Just Like A Fool VERSE 1 When I left home things were different Now I’m all alone in this kitchen moaning and bitching A dog without a bone and I’m itching Just another clone in the system Everyone disowned him and ditched him Alone and got no one to miss him There’s no one on the phone but I listen Sisters visit but they don’t bring the kids in “Here’s your uncle number one stoner of Brixton Getting stoned is his only religion” No they don’t want that moment of friction No not known for my wisdom But I did my atonement in prison And my atonement was shown in a vision Think my hearts made of stone but it isn’t! Ahh! Seems I wont get forgiven CHORUS I feel just like a fool, But I have every reason to, Cause I deserted you when I left home, Yea when I left home VERSE 2 When I left home I had big schemes and ideas But got bad dreams and quite fierce At night I screamed and cried tears A family I aint seen in five years Who hides under covers and whispers? I really miss my brothers and sisters You hear me? I love ya’s and miss ya’s I send my mother some kisses Man I ran a mile and I dumped ya Bad memories I’m piling’em under Now I’m just an island of thunder I dream a little while and become a Child in the summer smiling in wonder With my family running wild and I’m younger In the dream I get a phone dial in ya number This is what I say while I’m among ya CHORUS I feel just like a fool, But I have every reason to, Cause I deserted you when I left home, Yea when I left home VERSE 3 When I left home I thought it was one big adventure Sixteen-year-old drunk with dementia Went to London found my father Round the park all drowned in lager Slept in his flat on a crap mattress Within a short while more bad habits Starting hanging round with the crack addicts Got hooked on the brown aint that tragic? Heroin is evil and it charms Heroin is lethal and it harms Watch friend die with needles in their arms Listening to the Beatles in a trance Drug user, Intravenous Substance abuser only veins I have left are the ones in my penis Angry at myself, understand me this is hell I plan to tell my family this as well! HORUS I feel just like a fool, But I have every reason to, Cause I deserted you when I left home, Yea when I left home

If evil comes with a smile? I’m cry’n tears What you done to this child the crime fierce But every once in a while her mind clears in a moment of clarity Questions then her own morality, my own analogy? Probably coz ya mental words I drop ya may remember If the body is a temple hers ya gotta pay to enter I can’t leave well enough alone, fell in love with a pro I tell ya something though? Fellas love a ho! CHORUS That girl she’s as cold as ice No emotions frozen inside Need her so bad, so bad but No! No! No! No! Still don’t have that girl Be my world, need that girl, So bad but No! No! No! No! Still don’t have that girl VERSE 3 Baby ya mine, walk right past Yet you wont notice me but Maybe ya blind, talk quite fast Bet you don’t go to sleep You’re always so stoned, learnt to gamble But no friends no hope no Hallways no home, burnt your candle At both ends No! No! No! And you can tell she keeps her own advice… Her fella gives her only strife, Cheap coats and deep throats and she chokes! And you can tell she sleeps alone at nights… A girl that lives a lonely life, She knows she knows and she knows! CHORUS That girl she’s as cold as ice No emotions frozen inside Need her so bad, so bad but No! No! No! No! Still don’t have that girl Be my world, need that girl, So bad but No! No! No! No! Still don’t have that girl End Hook That girl she’s as cold as ice No emotions frozen inside Need her so bad, so bad but No! No! No! No!

On My Own VERSE 1 Eternal lust, in her arms you could turn to dust Confirm ya love but you can’t, earn her trust Falling victim to your lust and then ya fully crashing She says love is nothing but a chemical reaction And if she thinks ya buff dude with enough loot She’ll hug you but love you? She’s like “fuck you!” “Man you guys amaze me why would I forsake these Crazy nights of J.D’s for a life of babies I want five Mercedes that’s the price to pay” see? This girl, she’ll drive ya crazy On ya knee begging, the heartache and pain Stronger each second, ya can’t take the strain You think that you can it pal but it’ll linger, Men are wrapped around her little finger, Dead grim, ill, crazy crept in Till, the day she met him And she said… CHORUS Till now… I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you VERSE 2 - DEKAY Yeah I know girl she lives like she’s ready 2 die Falling out da club & shit she just mew a new guy She never likes to mention love it’s upsetting but why?

Her whole face lights up Heard you got with Mark now going to bare his child Glad you let your guard down no longer scared to smile Hot food, a room in an Inn And got thru to the woman within, And she said… CHORUS Till now… I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you

VERSE 1 Getting money is the object no job yet Volunteering at a project On the plus aint been shot yet Filled with hot lead thankful I‘m not dead Cried a few tears though grew fierce Yo Dude here so broke thirty-two years old Bruv the Rukas don‘t eat But his homie so fat can‘t touch his own feet Teeming with protein aint been in the cold scheming For dough screaming for gold dreaming no meaning Codeine and green smoke streaming from my eyes soul Screaming no seeing ghosts though I know this demon The one wicked hunter They call him the hunger he‘s among ya Not escaping poverty got this weight on top of me But know my spot is waiting well probably CHORUS Sometimes I wonder How to keep from going under Where‘ d we go wrong? Sometimes I wonder Ain‘t growing any younger Where‘ d we go wrong? VERSE 2 I‘m Tryna get noticed and focus On showbiz Yo this is hopeless Rap don‘t concern you burn you Rap till I turn blue cant earn loot What I have to do mad rude attitude Grabbing you slapping you black and blue And though I know I can rap good I been tagged good black booked mad look Sick and tired of explaining to guys blatant Complaining migraine in my brain quite straining Until my life‘s changing pain in my eyes remaining I aint paint a nice painting why? The skies raining Calling to the captain The motherfu the motherfucking captain I‘m trapped in my cabin Life is a turbulent sea of uncertainties learnt to see What lurks in the deep rise to the surface an breathe CHORUS Sometimes I wonder How to keep from going under Where‘ d we go wrong? Sometimes I wonder Ain‘t growing any younger Where‘ d we go wrong? VERSE 3 Can‘t forget my old flat dude Bad roof leaking so bad that you Would need hazard hats sleep at his flat See massive rats I‘d shout I‘ve three cats relax I‘d cheat taxicabs when hungry eat cheap pasta snacks I couldn‘t afford free plastic bags And that‘s what being broke is When ya cold as old soldiers aches in both shoulders Well I‘m a genius hell you can see this Relevant remixes As seventeen pieces of elegant thesis Yelling for Jesus developing seizures Helena Cheemer‘s Foretold my coming Fortune teller from Phoenix Get your pelican brief bitch Hope your skeleton fits your dealing with telekinesis What does that mean though Is it part of the theme bro shit not even me know CHORUS Sometimes I wonder How to keep from going under Where‘ d we go wrong? Sometimes I wonder Ain‘t growing any younger Where‘ d we go wrong?

THE OUTSIDE VERSE 1 This must be bliss/ you know I love you kids But don’t try to grow up too quick, just be kids Come to the fair that’s in ya town, & don’t let ya parents get ya down, & don’t be wearing a frown, & don’t be staring at the ground You’re at the fairground no swearing at the crowd there now And you don’t need no brandy or scotch/ Get ya candy floss like “hand me the box” Oh! Joe! Think ya handy with shots?/ Hit the stalls try to win little Andy a watch Missed ya shot? Don’t be angry or cross/ Take it with a smile go & tell ya family ya lost Hey! How ya fellas feel? Get ya girl 2 squeal on the Ferris wheel Feeling in the air an ya can tell it’s real No slowing down, its ya moment pal/ Show’em how uh yeah! We’re going out... CHORUS C’mon, its quite nice on the outside/ Won’t you come out and play? Hey! C’mon, there’s bright skies on the outside/ Won’t you come out and play? Hey! VERSE 2 I used 2 rap of killing & stuff but there’s a million of us/ Played the villain enough I’m filling up with love plus Brethren love is strong, & shedding blood is wrong/ Forget of what I said in other songs I’ve had a change of heart/ In the game I’ve a winning hand I’m now playing my card Good intellect playing my part could’a been dead but came far I’m putting to bed the pain of the past Things I shouldn’t have said I blame pa/ Mistakes I couldn’t correct remain Ahh Wouldn’t forget the day ma shook her head explained ah/ Should be looking ahead it aint hard Some blind guys playing a guitar sounds quite nice/ And I asked “how’s life? He replied “To see without sight, to be without strife/ To speak about life, it’s nice, but on the outside CHORUS C’mon, its quite nice on the outside/ Won’t you come out and play? Hey! C’mon, there’s bright skies on the outside/ Won’t you come out and play? Hey! VERSE 3 Used to knock the book rob the good/ God I took what I could, proper shook! Burned crack on the block a crook turned mad from the rock I took If I could turn back the clock I would But I’m off the hook, I dropped the hood/ No glock if ya pop the hood “know what?” He’s a game plan doctor look/ He’s a changed man, let him adopt the hood“ Watch kids on the blocks I live they’ve lots to give/ I’m not lying, positive Lost myth you cannot define, god’s gift/ Locksmith I unlock the mind You’ve time still at colleges, & thru it find minds filled with knowledge kids You define science build ya offices/ Future Einstein’s and philosophers! CHORUS C’mon, its quite nice on the outside/ Won’t you come out and play? Hey! C’mon, there’s bright skies on the outside/ Won’t you come out and play? Hey!

WATCHING AMERICA VERSE 1 Mc’s in this land get no prestige Each Fan looking overseas to busy notice me So it seems they don’t need homegrown heat, Eyes closed to their own streets right? It’s like they don’t know me Don’t own no CD’s of British origin but if its foreign and The artist pulls on triggers? They follow him They wanna feel American, so they dealing heroin To kids yeah that’s real intelligent! They’ve no morals folks are throttled poked with broken coke bottles It so boggles the mind and those are your role models? Man I could’ a wrote novels on murder or war Same old squabbles furthermore you heard it all before Should I rap about winners and dice gamblers? And the sin that’s inside gangsters? Should I brandish Weapons at innocent bystanders? Thing is I’ve manners All I bring ya’s is English and high standards! CHORUS Why did you leave? “We said we’d never let her go” Believe in me “We said we’d never let her go” I’m all you need “We said we’d never let her go” You dream of me VERSE 2 Musical performers shot, Mothers mourn a lot Americas not born of god guns sold in every corner shop Police fail population’s increase in jail, Another day another rapist sees bail Jesus and the grail forgotten, for your views end up in jail rotten, Add a nail to the coffin Americas a failure like Sodom and Gomorrah, Tales of shocking horror guns on sale no stopping the dollar! Bombs dropping yesterday what’s dropping tomorrow? Fix The problem god do not bring apocalypse! We got to live free god the kids need colleges We follow this street politics In neat offices theologists seek knowledge is Justice a cheap dollar bitch? Yeah and we swallow this We treat the news like we treat horror flicks when they body bagging’em We holler, “This cannot be happening!” CHORUS Why did you leave? “We said we’d never let her go” Believe in me “We said we’d never let her go” I’m all you need “We said we’d never let her go” You dream of me VERSE 3 The land of the free such vanity! Plus anarchy Americas so much insanity! Rich young sensitive kids becoming menaces Living in some temple with religious fundamentalists On college campus propaganda handed out what is with the planet? Goddamn it, so what began with the prophet Mohammed? Ends in bloodshed a whole nation is upset So, every Asian is a suspect! The crashing of planes into skyscrapers Last thought to go thru each passenger’s brain is “Christ save us” Go and find a weapon… You can use our bodies as steppingstones to climb to heaven 9/11 the prequel to Armageddon the people of Iran threatened Evil I’m betting Bush is to blame he built Saddam his weapons Coz I stare at the box I’m aware of the Cost and the terror the holy cross I bear just for watching America! CHORUS Why did you leave? “We said we’d never let her go” Believe in me “We said we’d never let her go” I’m all you need “We said we’d never let her go” You dream of me

The coffin was a closed casket affair the lid closed tight

In every starving land there's a fat King

And every laughing man shares a sad grin"
